S0und··on Lorien – Infinite canvas drawing/whiteboarding app
This looks great, I've been looking for a replacement for Mischief. There aren't many vector based drawing apps with infinite canvas.
S0und··on Everything with a battery should have an off switch
You've posted this "fun fact"? 4 times already. Are you this bored?
S0und··on Google’s AI-powered ‘inclusive warnings’ feature is very broken
That's nothing

Ő jóképű

Becomes, wait for it

She is handsome

Just like in English, handsome is used to compliment a man, and pretty to compliment a woman.

S0und··on Hyper-realistic digital humans in Unity
Reality is also hard and that's why people aim to reach it. Making alien world is easy because the viewer has no reference point, so you can go banana with it.
S0und··on Web3 is centralized and inefficient
On top of this, if you're into self hosting the one thing people don't recommend to self host is an email server. It can be done but it's a real pain.
S0und··on Plasticity Is CAD for Artists
I get PTSD when i heard the acronym of NURBS. Decades ago when Subdivision modelling wasn't a thing YET, people though that NURBS was a viable modeling method.
S0und··on Why does Google use location for language rather than browser settings?
This is why I think Google assistant is absolutely useless. Try to call someone who has a name in X language on a device that is set to English. You just can't. I love Big tech circle jerk about diversity, that somehow stops at skincolor, gender and sexual identity. You happens to bilingual? Sorry our cutting edge AI can't handle that.

Google all I want is a command for assistant, for example "OK Google, Call *in german/dutch/French/etc* <after this command everything will be interpreted on the given language, for the rest of the voice input>. See, it's not that hard.

S0und··on A beginner's guide to intermittent fasting (2012)
I'm doing 20h/4h for almost 2 years now. Which means i eat one meal a day, but that is split into two, first i eat around 11AM then around 2-3PM then 20 hours fasting. Most people thing that's insane, but the reality is, once you're done eating at 2PM, you don't have to think about food anymore for the rest of your day. "Ohh no, what am i gonna eat for dinner or for breakfast?", this is irrelevant. I've lost 10kg in 6months, without any real struggle. Now days i have a cheat day every 1 or 2 weeks, but i'm in a weight maintaining mode now. If i want to lose more weight, i have to switch into "strict mode", in general the amount of food i eat has a calorie deficit. On top of this i take vitamin supplements just to make sure i have enough, since i eat less.
S0und··on NewPipe: A lightweight YouTube experience for Android
It doesn't breaks anything.
S0und··on OpenSCAD 3D rendering just got an order of magnitude faster
The use case is sharing a model that is customizable.

Broom holder. You can't share an STL that will fit every possible broom diameter. But what you can do is programmatically generate one, and let the users change the variables.

S0und··on Surviving the front page of Hacker News on a 50 Mbps uplink
Judging by the colors: it's monokai
S0und··on Lab Leak 2.0?
Well you still didn't told us whats your position is, but maybe you can answer my question:

HOW GoF helped us to fight Covid? How the process that most likely played a huge role of creating the virus also helped us fighting it? Everyone how defends GoF tells us plebs, it helps us to fight future epidemics, but no one give us an example how it is helping the current one.

S0und··on Two lines of CSS that will improve HN on mobile (IMO)
Or just use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simon.harm...
S0und··on Dislike button would improve Spotify's recommendations
2. "Name collision" unfortunately that's not Spotify's fault but the artist who set the wrong Artists ID. So instead of creating a new one for themself, they just use an already existing one with the same name. What I did in the last i just email the record label ( if they have one ) and ask them. In my case i listen to metal, but every know and then a mediocre rap song shows up in my RR. Usually because the artist is clueless and they just "put they new song" on Spotify.
S0und··on Researchers bake malware protection directly into SSDs
On a Gen4 NVME with 7/6Gb read/writing speeds, I'm sure you can afford that performance hit.
S0und··on Sinus flush after positive Covid test reduced risks 19 times
This is a bit unrelated, but at the same time is kinda relevant.

Sinus flush can fuck up the balance in your nostrils, possibly increase the mucus production of the membranes. Which will encourage you to flush more "since you're washing out a lot of mucus, so the whole process working". It's a vicious cycle. Source: me. I have a stuffy nose issue for years now, even after surgery. In general it's only annoying during the morning and while I sleep.

S0und··on The most underused browser feature: reader mode
I straight up stopped reading. Just listen. I'm using NaturalReader extension, which has a good voice in the free tier. Even tho I use Firefox everywhere i just open an Edge, copy-paste a link and just listen to the article.
S0und··on Psst: Fast Spotify client with native GUI, without Electron, built in Rust
> a single codebase for ALL the targets

Spotify even has a pretty detailed post on this:

S0und··on Github1s – One second to read GitHub code with VS Code
This link showed up on /r/programming yesterday. Everyone is freaking out that the domain is registered from China.

https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/lfpngg/explore...

hackernews doesn't seems to care, which is ironic in many levels.

S0und··on Krita 4.4.0
Or just use "Photoshop" in the browser

If I need any kinda simpler editing I just use this.

S0und··on In the future, lab mice will live in computer chips, not cages?
Why do they want to model mice, when they the whole medical industry don't know shit about the mice they use for experiments?

They use mice to experiment with, BUT through breeding the current lab mice are more resilient then humans. Which can imply that certain drugs getting passed for human testing because they did well with mice. Today's lab mice are more resilient, but the same drug can damage humans.

S0und··on BMW Connected Apps Protocol
"<java something-something> bytecode is really easy to decompile"

by the 3rd time i was laughing at this...

"not a problem, barely an inconvenience"
