daefon Messages that can only be understood under the influence of psychedelics

Recommend already :)

daefon Is infinity an odd or even number? (2011)

You can uniquely map all rationals onto the natural numbers, thus they are of the same quantity. That doesn't work for all real numbers thou.

daefon Is infinity an odd or even number? (2011)

How do you define 'decimal numbers'? Do you only count rationals, or all real numbers?

daefon [dead]

There's a link to a .deb package, but it goes nowhere. Does anyone have a working link to teams_1.5.00.23861_amd64.deb?

According to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-22.11/pkgs/appli... the hash is supposed to be sha256-h0YnCeJX//l4TegJVZtavV3HrxjYUF2Fa5KmaYmZW8E=

daefon Ever-expanding animation of the life of the 796th floor of a space station

hugged to hard?

daefon YouTube confirms that it has removed the “sort by oldest/newest” option

I really <3 the fork with sponsorblock support: https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe/

and I don't get why the NewPipe devs are against upstreaming it... kudos to polymorphicshade, updates in NewPipe get handed over pretty fast.

daefon I still love PHP and JavaScript

When I had to code in php I've written a css-rule for my browser to hide the user contributions to the docs, since they where often misleading if not plainly wrong.

I remember no discernible border between 'official docs stop here' and 'user contributed opinions start here'.

daefon Next-generation AI models

Tabnine and Copilot feel like the endboss for various plagiarism checkers. I'm curious how universities will adapt to this.

daefon EEG Cat Ears (2018)

I just found https://alexandre.barachant.org/blog/2017/02/05/P300-with-mu...

daefon Music industry is suing youtube-dl hosters

i prefer

    -f251

which downloads opus @153k (48000Hz) (use -F to check available formats)

daefon Typed Programs Don't Leak Data

Doesn't this imply the server knowing the plaintext password?

daefon RPG-CLI – your filesystem as a dungeon

daefon FlatCAM: Free and Open-Source PCB Cam

+1, I also fell for the 'Cam'. Could someone please update the title?

daefon Unwanted “Idealo” Spam in Mozilla Fennec

Thank you so much, I found the evildoer. Now I feel stupid. I hope this will be a lesson for future me, to calm down and investigate a bit more before randomly accusing the first scapegoat.

daefon Again on 0-based vs. 1-based indexing

And nim does 1..<13 and 1..12

which is why switching between rust and nim is a real pain in the buttox

daefon IceSL: A free lua based modeler/slicer

It stuffed with features:

  * OpenSCAD like modeler
  * with GPU support everywhere
  * various parameters for support/infill/...
    cannot only be defined for layer ranges
    but also as vector fields
  * experimental slicing features not seen anywhere else
    e.g. 'cavity': makes parts as hollow as
          possible while keeping them printable
    or 'wings': support that avoids the part itself
    or direction agnostic infill patterns,
    ...

daefon FreeCAD: A free and open source multiplatform 3D parametric modeler

I really like IceSL and think its getting too little attention: https://icesl.loria.fr/

It uses lua to be scriptable much like openscad, but it's got GPU support, so you can also describe surfaces as signed distance fields - in shader code...

It doesn't seem to be open source (yet?), but there are contributors listed [0] (it came out of inria, the french university, sylvain lefebvre being the lead dev[1])

Check out %appdata%\IceSL\icesl-models or thingiverse[2] for examples.

daefon AVIF for Next-Generation Image Coding

daefon Stanford Medicine COVID-19 test now in use

See https://youtu.be/GqAdVQeIXA0 for an explanation: starting at around 30% probability pooling stops making sense.

daefon Neat URL cleans URLs, removing parameters such as 'fbclid' and 'utm'

I like to squeeze amazon links to https://amazon.com/dp/B0085NTQJK - removing the SEO inlining of the article name

Removing those pesky get-parameters aint enough to keep a BOM link list in line

daefon Using audio channels as a social signal for remote workers

does anyone know a foss audio/screensharing solution that works on linux and windows?

daefon FortiGuard XOR Encryption in Multiple Fortinet Products

The key doesn't even seem to be 'encrypted' itself, since it's found via strings:

Found the magic bytes here:

https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/4dc1a98813bfa60b0139b...

(in the strings for 4dc1a98813bfa60b0139b54302cd2a8580bdd0cfea9b4adf1e6d27e1a0bbea33.bin , between 'Kindesmisbrauch' and 'Kunst und Kultur'

daefon FortiGuard XOR Encryption in Multiple Fortinet Products

It's reused every 8 bytes...

daefon Hey Ho, GIFs Must Go (1999)

https://flif.info beats lossless webm

daefon China Grew Two Cotton Leaves on the Moon

it feels like this is the 1.23E23th time I've read this - wouldn't it be time for HN to fix the css to make code-tags more readable (especially on mobile)?!
