What we are really getting at here is: where's the jpg!?

Isn't this in essence the same effect that people have been utilizing for about a century with silver nanoparticles?

"Deno 1.36 at a glance

More flexible security options for Deno programs Secure your programs at runtime with --deny-* flags, which enable you to configure deny lists for domains, file paths, and other resources to which access should be restricted.

Expanded options for testing and benchmarking New test result formatters, support for Node.js testing APIs, and more granular benchmarking.

Node.js compatibility improvements Run npm package scripts that aren’t configured as binaries, use all node:os APIs with our latest polyfill, call native code add-ons with process.dlopen, and more.

Quality of life improvements Small features and fixes like better error messages, language server improvements, and more forgiving WebSocket APIs."

"The Righteous Gemstones" is pretty much mandatory entertainment watch if this subject has any interest. Superbly entertaining (at least 2 first seasons, less keen on the 3rd).

Would love some examples, practical a-z stuff; how does one make a couple of these run on a local (yes, large) server for instance?

"uBOL is entirely declarative, meaning there is no need for a permanent uBOL process for the filtering to occur, and CSS/JS injection-based content filtering is performed reliably by the browser itself rather than by the extension."

Count me in. Additionally I don't personally approve of commentators being downvoted for doing something that falls outside the predominant opinion expressed within a thread. Go ahead and post juxtapositional stuff, it's healthy!

Thank God someone has the capacity to attack this issue in depth. UTF8 situation with regards to systems level programming is scary and annoying at same time

edit: I note that HN filters out utf8 emojis..

Excellent project. One can dream.. somehow Wine never worked for me, just perpetually that little bit off and excessively configurable/hackable!

Which I realize is brilliant for many people, just not me, don't have the necessary attention/time-tokens available for yet another it hobby sub!

It also adds it's own special brand of crap .. as in after trying 10x different ways (not kidding: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/...) of executing an external ffmpeg command over several hrs I eventually wrote a one line .bat file* and was done with it. Never again.

* for %%a in ("*.mp4") do ffmpeg -i "%%a" -vcodec libx265 -crf 26 -tune animation "%%~na.mkv"

I use Okular for work, first on Linux for a long time and now on Windows, works superbly for signing/annotating PDFs and can be installed via package manager on either system (APT or Winget)

Single-header library available on Github: https://github.com/zserge/fenster

Nb. found via lobste.rs but thread dead there so worth an HN post since content is absolutely superb (as is usual from zserge!)

Excellent writeup and a good reminder that humans man the ships/software we all rely on in our daily lives. God speed to the next project and people involved for the coming decade :)

On Linux Mint myself. Moved away from Apple after couple years with OSX. I simply had too much friction on everything. Automation was fickle and poorly documented, package manager(s) bolted on and unstable compared to Debian/Ubuntu base, window behaviour just erratic unless tweaked and tweaked only worked for 80% of OSX apps and update system was a mess, half the stuff sort of updated correctly via app store but other half required their own install/update systems which in turn turned the clock back to Windows land in terms of updates.. not great. Also whatever software is available in OSX land is often half abandoned due to the churn on each OSX update which seems to burn software authors out more-so than is the case on Windows and Linux.

Felt relieved when I sold my Mac hardware on and could get on with computing, may well just be my usage pattern was incompatible with OSX but that was my experience.

Perhaps the way forward for Codon in terms of wider adoption would be maintaining a list of libraries that are fully Codon compatible, thereby encouraging devs to aim for cross-compatibility (which would likely naturally exclude usage of a lot of the slower Python features in turn making the libraries faster for both Codon and regular Python users)

Cracked bikehelmet this morning due to black ice, still f'd due to hurting my foot badly when going down but honestly... without a bike helmet I would be in hospital for sure.

I can see how the shitshow commenced though. Instead of contacting Amazon via chat and providing a few photos to document the process the family did a regular return which off was in turn picked up as fraudulent.. No one's fault in particular but annoying situation for sure!!

Reality for me has always been that Amazon is rather flawless on return policy (in the UK anyway!)

The point that the owner is openly looking to "buy a Ford F-150 Lightning pickup truck" in order to drive around and battery pump the individual houses just makes the whole thing mega awful for me - at that point surely the proper green option would be to have a little wood-stove in each house which would easily be offset by the natural bio-sequestering in large surrounding woods!!??

Very very impressive.

Absolutely ace effort, do it for the love of it and great things can happen that would otherwise require mountains of both engineers and bureaucracy!

Well, there's functions for working with code points within the bytes that (may) make up utf8 strings.. in order to do actual string level manipulation a library is needed (such as https://github.com/jecolon/ziglyph or others)

No standard utf8 string library is scary - I would happily learn all the mem gymnastics to make this work but fiddling with competing UTF8 libraries as is the case with C/C++ is just not my cuppa.

Thanks for elaborating: the ctrl-c as first port of call was assumed obvious from my side but the:

" "kill INT %1" and then "kill TERM %1" before "kill KILL %1". "

is good advice as progressive measures

Excellent advice, thanks for sharing. Would in turn recommend using CopyQ to store this tips (and other like it) as a pinned items in folder with explanations for use two years later, that's how I personally stay on top of terminal kung-fu without overloading the consciousness-in-meat*

This is the comment I just ctrl-f'd for: exactly?!

Thunderbird has supported Oauth2 since v38 - used it myself on several occasions for migrating gmail accounts in work context, works fine.

...and that in turn swapped me solidly back into reality where I drive Geany on a daily basis without any issue whatsoever.

I would love to see all permission clearly outlined in a central location.

Could even be part of the Firewall application in CalyxOS for all I care (have run this on a Pixel 4a for a year now and very impressed with the update cycle and stability offered).

Similar boat (sort of I guess), moved off Ubuntu onto Mint since I can not abide with Canonical's decision to package in Snap format. It's not user friendly, it's slow and now I'm on another distro that's fully compatible with Ubuntu but don't suffer from their corporate strategy re. Snap :). Would equally recommend to stay on top of release-cycle (either LTS or regular) no matter what distro you are on!

Honestly closer to the truth than is comfortable, even improvements to public utilities are routed through private companies with such vague contractual agreements that the primary losers are the supposed beneficiaries?!

Have seen this up close in Denmark but the tales from the rest of the block speak for themselves.
