mfro··on Microsoft please get your tab to autocomplete shit together
Fair point.
mfro··on Microsoft please get your tab to autocomplete shit together
Pretty sure you’re supposed to press return in order to accept a dropdown suggestion. Tab is for accepting the AI code completion. I disabled completions.
mfro··on Comptime – C# meta-programming with compile-time code generation and evaluation
This seems like the kind of feature that should be built into MSBuild.

mfro··on Kids Rarely Read Whole Books Anymore. Even in English Class
It is still extraordinary cheap to produce and disseminate novels. If not more so, if you include ebooks or longform blogging.
mfro··on Will West Coast Jazz Get Some Respect?
I think jazz taste has diversified a lot in the last decade and we aren’t seeing a canon outside of cliques. I know myself and other younger folks listen to the artists you listed, I know several who grew up playing in a marching band and enjoy big band, myself I listen to nearly anything.
mfro··on Show HN: Gemini Pro 3 imagines the HN front page 10 years from now
AI comments are insidious if the account is allowed to be indistinguishable from a human. Silly AI web content is another story. You're drawing a line where there is a very large grey area.
mfro··on Bitwarden Lite
Neat. Glad to see an official solution for self hosting.
mfro··on 30 years ago today "Netscape and Sun announce JavaScript"
DEC Alpha processors.
mfro··on 30 years ago today "Netscape and Sun announce JavaScript"
The little quote from DEC led me to do some reading... crazy to think there were DEC manufactured(in the U.S. !) processors that could, in 1995, run JavaScript, Linux, BSD, Windows 2000, and Plan 9.
mfro··on Helldivers 2 devs slash install size from 154GB to 23GB
Have you played a big budget video game released in the last 10 years? It’s pretty standard to reach upwards of 60GB.
mfro··on Windows GUI – Good, Bad and Pretty Ugly (2023)
On fast machines the latency is low enough I don’t complain… but the point about search results shifting is very much a problem. Often times searching a builtin windows feature will fail to show the correct result without some weird switching around of the wording. E.g try searching for “turn windows features on or off”.
mfro··on DNS Firewalling with MISP and Technitium DNS Server
I love Technitium DNS and have run it for several years now. Thanks for the contributions.
mfro··on Is your Android TV streaming box part of a botnet?
Shoutout to Mikrotik for being the only consumer vendor with good router/firewall combos. I recommend getting one if you're comfortable doing a bit of work to setup a secure home network.
mfro··on Shai-Hulud Returns: Over 300 NPM Packages Infected
My understanding is that docker escapes are not all that difficult, and your aliases really aren’t doing much to harden the container. but I am not an expert on the matter. I’m sure there is plenty of info online
mfro··on Shai-Hulud Returns: Over 300 NPM Packages Infected
Good question with a lot of possible answers. You can take sandboxing as far as you want, really. I typically just use bubblewrap (linux)
mfro··on Shai-Hulud Returns: Over 300 NPM Packages Infected
Docker is not a sandbox. There is some work that can be done to harden it, but you're better off looking at genuinely sandboxing your dev environment
mfro··on Aldous Huxley predicts Adderall and champions alternative therapies
I agree, soma definitely parallels weed much more closely, but I don't think it's a perfect match. Huxley imagines a drug a bit more insidious, without obviously negative side effects, and with somewhat unrealistic(imo) intended effects.
mfro··on .NET MAUI is coming to Linux and the browser
The announcement is geared towards .NET devs. If you're reading Avalonia blog posts outside of HN front page, you definitely know what MAUI is.
mfro··on Vibe Code Warning – A personal casestudy
Love of the process vs the product
mfro··on Show HN: In a single HTML file, an app to encourage my children to invest
Wow, you are so out of touch
mfro··on Project Shadowglass
Temporal sampling techniques do (in supported titles) have the option to supersample and generate higher resolution images, but they are most commonly used to efficiently downsample for FPS gains with minimal quality degradation.

From the Wikipedia page for DLSS:

The goal of these technologies is to allow the majority of the graphics pipeline to run at a lower resolution for increased performance, and then infer a higher resolution image from this that approximates the same level of detail as if the image had been rendered at this higher resolution. This allows for higher graphical settings and/or frame rates for a given output resolution, depending on user preference.

mfro··on Project Shadowglass
By temporal I refer to DLSS, FSR, TSR, etc. In this game's case, I imagine it's not as simple as downscaling, there is probably some shader work involved similar to this:

mfro··on Project Shadowglass
Depends on the technique used. Temporal methods don’t look this way but standard downscaling can.
mfro··on Project Shadowglass
Yeah, I don't think this is anything revolutionary. I was thinking they were actually doing something a-la DOOM's pseudo 3D, but no, this is definitely just downscaled 3D.
mfro··on [dead]
This is satire.
mfro··on TextEdit and the relief of simple software
Pico is also still included (and aliased to nano, funnily)
mfro··on Typst 0.14
I found the online editor really easy to use, but it doesn't expose all of the functionality in GUI, you'll need to read docs.
mfro··on A Word on Omarchy
I’m not gatekeeping. This is something I have seen time and time again. I have no animosity towards these people, I am glad to see more people working with Linux, but it is a fact that they are not concerned about the quality of the software they run. That’s why they’re running Omarchy.
mfro··on A Word on Omarchy
There are numerous other, much more professional and vetted distributions that will better serve you. If you had read the article you’d not be making this comment.
