Re:How does Fable 5.1 hide messages in images? on Friday October 23, 2026 @04:11AM (#50205860)
But to be honest, images like these seem really strange, and even without this article I'd suspect something is encoded in building heights etc. Because normal image would never have such "weird" buildings. But nevertheless I guess it's able to encode message in even more subtle ways.

Of course not, because the sun is much further away than the moon.

Is that quiz correct? I have answered mostly C or D and maybe a few of B, but still got "Beginner". How?!

Re:The View from RSS on Wednesday March 04, 2026 @05:20PM (#47254776)
I love RSS but I didn't find good enough online reader that can be customized to my liking, so I built my own: https://jurakovic.github.io/dev-links/news/

I have many more ideas, but I don't have that much free time to implement all of it (even with Claude Code). But it serves me very well for now

Show HN: Save time and open directly "All Branches"

Posted by jurakovic on Friday November 07, 2025 @04:56PM
from the show-hn dept.

https://github.com/jurakovic/view-all-branches

Most of the time, I want to see the complete branch list rather than a subset filtered by some criteria. I found the default filtered views on GitHub to be more of a hindrance than a help. Since GitHub does not provide a built-in option to change this default behavior, I created this extension to automatically redirect to the "All Branches" view.I've been using this extension personally for...

I see, but yes and no. He is maybe the most active among them, but for that precise reason (I have it from the beginning, not after I stared reading his blog :)) I show only last 5 posts of each blog, to not pollute that list. This way everyone has a chance to stay longer on that list.

Here is my "rss reader" https://jurakovic.github.io/dev-links/news/

I wanted to have a list of latest posts of blogs I follow and that I can access it quickly from both PC and mobile phone without any signing in. Then I decided to do it myself like that. There is a github workflow that runs automatically every 6 hours and updates that page.

Re:Blog Feeds on Sunday October 05, 2025 @02:33AM (#45479304)
Here is my feed: https://jurakovic.github.io/dev-links/#blogs

And here is my "rss reader": https://jurakovic.github.io/dev-links/news/ :)

Although I myself don't have a blog, for past few months I think about starting a new one. We'll see.

Re:Show HN: FFmpeg Pages – because I was tired of fighting FFmpeg on Friday August 29, 2025 @01:27PM (#45066956)
Why build "pages" with so much overhead though? Let alone with so many mistakes (as other pointed them out). It could be simple github readme or even just gist

Re:Keeping a Changelog at Work on Sunday December 22, 2024 @04:09PM (#42489124)
I have myself started practising this at the beginning of this year when I changed job. I have all my notes in git repo as well as a changelog file. But changelog is more like a timetrack file.

In repo I have also commit.sh script [1] (for which I have also desktop shortcut) and at the end of work day I simply run it and (after a few more confirmations) turn of laptop and go home.

Re:Back dating Git commits based on file modification dates on Saturday August 03, 2024 @03:46PM (#41148769)
I did something similar from backup files for one of my projects. Although I did it mostly manually. It's on GitHub now at https://github.com/jurakovic/Comets-Archive
