It's using wgpu so it will run on nightly Chrome and Firefox through Webassembly and hopefully anywhere once the WebGPU standard has settled.

No it works on devices where I still have it installed :) just meant I can't install it from the store, which is different from Steam where you are still able to install games you bought even if their store page got taken down

Can't even access it as someone who bought the app... That's really unfortunate.

I'm using subdomains on a domain I own and request Let's Encrypt certificates with the DNS challenge.

Fingerprinting for this purpose requires user consent in the same way a tracking cookie would. Admittedly, fingerprinting is harder to prove from the user side.

The built-in OCR of macOS truely is the best one I have ever used. Works in Safari and Preview.

If your only target from Markdown is LaTeX, I recommend the LaTeX markdown package which uses lua to parse and convert the input markdown: https://github.com/Witiko/markdown

Pandoc shines when targetting multiple backends, like EPUB, HTML and LaTeX/PDF. But the LaTeX markdown package has one advantage when only targetting LaTeX, especially in academic settings: it translates everything to the LaTeX you'd expected. For example, citations are translated into biblatex calls, while pandoc generates all of the citations and the bibliography by itself, bypassing the style and behavior you and your professors might expect.

Even when run under Wayland, VSCode looks blurry with a scaling of 150%... Wayland advocates love to mention that the real issue is using fractional scaling at all, but Windows and macOS can deal with it just fine.

Also, Matrix supports other client implementations than Element, like https://fluffychat.im/

Also, how would this work if their whole infrastructure is down? The same problem that prevented them from fixing the network would also have prevented them from adding such a redirect.

Hetzner have always been picky about who they allow as customers, and I can't even blame them for it.

Yes, compute shaders for WebGL have been cancelled in favor of WebGPU.

I took the opportunity to base my visual computing project for this semester on the Rust WebGPU implementation (wgpu-rs). Working with it is very nice, compared to OpenGL and Vulkan. The biggest pain point right now is WGSL because it still is a moving target, but it's already good enough to work with in my case. The repository for my project currently lacks any info at all unfortunately: https://github.com/niklaskorz/linon/

It is a ray caster that I plan to evolve into a nonlinear ray caster where the viewing rays travel along a vector field which thus distorts the image. You can enable the nonlinear mode by setting the "linear_mode" constant in "src/compute.wgsl" to false. I also implemented hot reloading for the shaders, which made experimenting a lot easier. The project doesn't have any non-Rust dependencies, so giving it a go is as easy as "cargo run" in the repository directory. For an idea of what I'm aiming for, see the "Visualizing Strange Worlds" paper by Eduard Gröller from 1995: https://www.cs.drexel.edu/~david/Classes/Papers/Groller95.pd...

You can also drag&drop .obj models to load them, but I advise you to only use small models (500 triangles max) in linear mode and completely avoid it in nonlinear mode right now, as the performance is really bad at the moment. :) I'm looking into acceleration structures next, so hopefully this will improve.

Yup wasm is the way to go as you can just distribute the wasm binary over npm and don't have to worry about further compile steps on the consumer side, but it's not always possible to use wasm.

Yeah, the whole page reads like a draft

Good thing then that React is a library and not a framework. :) (only slight sarcasm)

"AVX512 instructions cannot be sustained on a high clock speed for very long -- the processor downclocks right away if you send too many of them within a short time frame, probably for thermal reasons. This will probably be much more true for laptop processors." https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/4825#issuecomment-...

How much does this apply to the Xeon CPUs found in servers?

How does the Tesla V100 compare to the Tesla P100, which Scaleway offers at a similar price of €1/hour?

Yes for compiling, but without typechecking. You'll still need tsc for that.

I generally don't reply to hello messages unless it's from my parents / brother. Whoever tries to message me will just have to go ahead with the actual content or leave it be.

Technically the Telegram desktop client and libsignal are both open source, so maybe someone could hook them up? :)

Also I spent more time on it than on four movies already, and I'm far from finished.

I find it funny how people try to declare H265 a winner when it will most likely never land in Chrome or Firefox. Safari has its user base, especially on mobile, sure. But it will never gain any momentum on the web until Chrome supports it. Which will never happen, as Google fully stands behind AV1.

Thanks! That's what I suspected, but I wasn't entirely sure when looking into the wheel.

Why does the repository only contain install scripts? Where is the code for the implementation?

As a more useful measurement, I'd like to see a comparison of the carbon emission of watching a 4K movie at home vs driving with a non-electric car to the next cinema to watch it.

It actually works just fine on Chinese Android roms without Google services.

Edit: Vanced relies on MicroG for logging in, and requires it to be installed along Vanced even on phones that have the "real" Google Play services.

Edit 2: I took "Chinese Android roms" as an example for Google-less roms. Of course, Vanced can't help in bypassing the Chinese firewall to contact Google servers.

Yup, "1440x900" is far from max settings for me

Wow, this is amazing! Particularly looking forward to using one codebase for Desktop and Android.
