morjom··on A Mathematician in a School of Art
Shadertoy is a nice blend of art, math and programming. I wish I'd find the willpower to dive into it.
morjom··on GOG's Preservation Program Is the DRM-Free Store Refocusing on the Classics
I really should RFA before I comment. Apologies.
morjom··on GOG's Preservation Program Is the DRM-Free Store Refocusing on the Classics
"Refocusing" when it has been up since 2008.
morjom··on Using BenQ's latest 32" 4k monitor (RD320U) which is aimed at programming
rtings.com has been pretty good. They include what comes in the box and what type of navigation it uses for the OSD.
morjom··on How to Train Yourself to Go to Sleep Earlier
New website for the NSF is thensf.org for those wondering.
morjom··on First scientific study of the Paris catacombs
I wish someone would fund a lidar/3d scanning of the catacombs. I don't know if it would be plausible in any capacity but It sure would be cool.
morjom··on Ask HN: What ist your AdBlock strategy?
You do not need all filter lists checked in uBlock. Maybe 3 or 4 + what it gives you out of the box.
morjom··on Helping wikis move away from Fandom
The Oldschool Runescape and Guild Wars wikis are still some of the best wikis I've experienced. Both of them are even implemented into the game. In GW1&2 you can just type /wiki <insert subject> and it'll open a browser tab to the wikipage.

In OSRS there's a button next to the minimap that you click on first and then on the subject and it opens the wikipage for it.

I wish Warframe would move to a osrswiki model. A theorycraft heavy game almost requires a good, performant wiki.

Somewhat recently Wowpedia moved away from fandom to wiki.gg, dunno yet if it'll be another fandom, we'll see.

morjom··on Chrome is entrenching third-party cookies that will mislead users
Fair points. Ill try to educate myself on this more.

FWIW the about section says this: "Each privacy test examines whether the browser, on default settings, protects against a specific kind of data leak."

The maintainer is a Brave employee and this is a project they were already doing before joining Brave. I'm hoping that they aren't manipulating it in favor of Brave.

I sent those three options as a feature request. Do you think the site is still useful in some capacity?

morjom··on Chrome is entrenching third-party cookies that will mislead users
Firefox doesn't have ECH support (atleast not turned on by default)

morjom··on Can you convert a video to pure CSS?
Title reminded me of this video (although not exactly the same thing as in the article):

morjom··on Blood pressure control should focus on more potassium (2023)
I get around 1600 mg of Salt from my medicine alone. ideal limit is 1500 mg while recommended limit is around 2300 mg (teaspoon of table salt) as you indicated.
morjom··on Ask HN: What are the tools to learn that could be useful for a lifetime?
Measuring things, knowing the units and how to convert them, and how to use the appropriate tools (measuring tape, multimeter, your hands, calculator). Math.

Wish I did.

morjom··on Show HN: Turning my 10y old tablet into digital photo frame
Kids use them all the time, artists love them. I guess if what you're looking for is a phone then tablets are not it.
morjom··on Eating Foods with Xylitol Can Be a Risk to Your Heart
"Xylitol in processed food can increase risk of heart attack and stroke — but there’s no danger in xylitol in oral care products"

I'm glad what I was looking for was in the first piece of text.

morjom··on Study identifies first drug therapy for sleep apnea
I feel like the article title should've specified Obstructive.

Yes I know it says it right below it.

morjom··on Eating cheese plays a role in healthy, happy aging – who are we to argue?
Idk potatoes are pretty great.
morjom··on 200ms Voice LLM
In the same vein is there any good, low latency, speech to text to speech (STTTS?) capable programs that are making use of LLMs or AI?
morjom··on On being brought up by libertarian economists
You had me halfway but then swerved off road. Minimal empathy is still more than none. Like I said before its not like they know exactly 1:1 what other peoples lives are like.
morjom··on On being brought up by libertarian economists
I think you're misunderstanding me. I was not referring to your post at all, but the one below it (before mine). With "insight" i did not mean absolute experience or knowledge about it, but a privy to what it might feel like because they're also experiencing a similar yet a lot different at times situation.
morjom··on On being brought up by libertarian economists
Sorry to be the one to break it to you but yes, it actually does give them insight into most disabilities. Its not like they know what its like to have them, but having one themselves makes it a lot easier to relate and empathise.
morjom··on Högertrafikomläggningen
Did it happen yesterday?

Did it happen last month?

Did it happen last year?

I feel like that's the order I ask questions if wonder when something happened.

morjom··on But Valve I'm dead? Why can't my family play the Steam games I have bought?
I don't see the big problem here. You don't need in the will to give somebody access after you pass. Just make a note in case of emergency with your credentials if your steam games are that important. Or just add them to Steam Family share list.
morjom··on Stop Using Discord
If they're worse are they equivalent?
morjom··on Stop Using Discord
Use a matrix bridge to discord instead.

Jokes aside the discord ux is good enough for the average user, it already has chokehold on its users and there is no equivalent.

I would also prefer things to be easily searchable, archivable etc but consumers consume.

morjom··on Stop Using Discord
You already answered yourself. Convenience and because your friends are already there or because that one thing hosts its forum there.
morjom··on How (and why) to de-Google your life and protect your privacy
Standard Notes was mentioned in the article. For sheets EtherCalc used to be a thing but doesn't seem to be maintained anymore.
morjom··on Rolling with the punches: How mantis shrimp defend against high-speed strikes
Well good old Wikipedia gave a pretty straightforward answer of: an acceleration of 10,400 g (102,000 m/s2 or 335,000 ft/s2) and speeds of 23 m/s (83 km/h; 51 mph) from a standing start.

morjom··on A low budget consumer hardware espionage implant (2018)
So pretty run of the mill stuff for cable mods?
morjom··on Ontario family doctor says new AI notetaking saved her job
Just need to get the parents permission for filming/photographing the children and feeding it to an AI.
