Charon77··on FFmpeg School of Assembly Language
This is very approachable and beginner friendly. Kudos to authors.
Charon77··on Securing Web Sites Made Them Less Accessible
I have corporate VPN that forces this. Basically a bunch of programs break because they come with their own trusted CA list
Charon77··on Siyuan: Privacy-first, self-hosted personal knowledge management software
Hierarchy can do that too, once you allow a single file to exist in multiple hierarchies at once. Think of database, we have a single table, yet we have a lot of different indexes to search on.

We could do the same, either with symlinks or hardlinks

Charon77··on Are we becoming a post-literate society?
Yet there be clickbait headlines. Novels are written for people to imagine the scenes described by the author, requiring your own 'filling in' to be immersed in the story.
Charon77··on How to lose a fortune with one bad click
Was about to say this but yeah.

Big brains at google didn't understand the number '2' in 2FA

Charon77··on WordPress Forces Users to Agree That Pineapple Is Good on Pizza
I have this problem but only with raw pineapples. I absolutely love grilled pineapples and they don't burn my mouth
Charon77··on ‘With brain preservation, nobody has to die’
Honestly I'd like to have my mind copied, but may only be 'simulated' once the current me is dead. From my perspective I'll be dead and there's no changing that, but from the clone's perspective, life just goes on.
Charon77··on Oncall shift should be Tuesday to Tuesday
My company does this
Charon77··on Incorporation of photosynthetically active algal chloroplasts in mammalian cells
What about water?
Charon77··on I2P Anonymous Network
There's already the DHT that really removes the need of trackers in the first place.
Charon77··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (October 2024)
NAT traversal with STUN and UDP hole punching, yeah. But the idea is to use IRC for the rendezvous since they're everywhere and the payload is quite literally just external IP:PORT.
Charon77··on Building a Game with the Real Engine
Samsung S10+, 60FPS although I'm not sure what I'm supposed to look at.
Charon77··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (October 2024)
I'm working on a serverless VPN that works without relay even for those behind symmetric NAT (most of the time).

I'm not aware that it exists at the moment and would love to be proven wrong.

Charon77··on Building a Game with the Real Engine
You could do gaussian splat on the diorama picture and you can have pretty good dynamic camera movements where the player could walk around
Charon77··on We outsmarted CSGO cheaters with IdentityLogger
I got 404
Charon77··on Developing a Go bot embedding Ichiban Prolog
TIL about Ichiban Prolog. Would you say the integration in your project was trivial?
Charon77··on Kaspersky deletes itself, installs UltraAV antivirus without warning
ClamAV is open source
Charon77··on Show HN: Vomitorium – all of your project in 1 text file
Isn't this a tar file?
Charon77··on Show HN: Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
A whale isn't that tall, considering it doesn't stand on legs.
Charon77··on Welcome to the Login.gov Developer Guide
Official government login system is secured by Let's Encrypt?
Charon77··on Written by a 16 year old, a book on how computers work
Love the cute writing style it's actually more fun to read compare to boring textbooks
Charon77··on Airlines are running out of 4-digit flight numbers
Given the history of airlines I'm not quite sure if you're joking or not. Sounds plausible ngl
Charon77··on Prover-Verifier Games improve legibility of LLM outputs
Basically GAN but for LLMs? Neat
Charon77··on Ask HN: What's new being done with P2P?
IPFS is still going strong with the file sharing.
Charon77··on The process that kept dying: A memory leak murder mystery
In my team we actually had to do performance test every time we update our libraries, and never auto update.
Charon77··on Don't Let Architecture Astronauts Scare You (2001)
I mean look at this very website. It has none of that.
Charon77··on Show HN: We made a platform that allows you to build UI kits in days not months
I'm sorry but honestly I don't trust your solution simply based on how horribly slow the website even scrolls on my device.
Charon77··on Public toilets are vanishing and that's a civic catastrophe
In Japan I think there are laws mandating barrier free access, which include having free toilet, including for wheelchair users, diaper change, and ostomate support
Charon77··on Einstein and his peers were resistant to black holes
That's quite a wild guess.
Charon77··on Einstein and his peers were resistant to black holes
This. Physics is a field of science, unlike math. They're dealing with models that keep on changing. Newton's model of F=ma is generally close enough for most things, but breaks near the speed of light. Following the model solely would give you the false idea that speed of light is just yet another number.
