Thank you! It seems to be what I'm looking for.

I just tried building and running it. Surprisingly many websites already load fine, though Youtube doesn't and Vimeo/Reddit comment section crashed it. Still, the results are quite…

I've recently been wondering: could you re-compress gzip to a better compression format, while keeping all instructions that would let you recover a byte-exact copy of the original…

Thanks! Any ideas why it didn't get merged? Clearly 7-Zip has some development activity going on and so does this fork...

I worry that 7-Zip is going to lose relevance because lack of zstd support. zlib's performance is intolerable for large files and zlib-ng's SIMD implementation only helps here a bi…

I don't want this to sound cynical, but do we have any examples where the US government successfully got the corporations to actually increase security, as opposed to just gaming t…

I'm surprised by the performance. Doesn't qemu have dynamic recompilation capabilities?

While reading Amazon reviews, I learned that they missed the contributions by Hedy Lamarr, a very interesting and impressive figure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_Lamarr

This inspired me to do this experiment: dd if=/dev/zero bs=1K count=$(( 256 * 3 )) of=a.ext4 mfks.ext4 a.ext4 mkdir a sudo mount a.ext4 a cd a sudo chown 1000:1000 . python3 -c 'op…

Previously mentioned Depthboot from Eupnea Project ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36888598 ), while allows you to install Linux distributions on Chromebooks, requires user …

Timely! I just deployed it on our company server. There's a hidden gem that's not enabled by default and really helps when pair programming in Jupyter: https://jupyterlab.readthedo…

Is "zstd" a typo? Couldn't find any sources on it (unless we mean the compression standard), including Wikipedia.

In case anyone else is wondering: > The Scream Test is simple – remove it and wait for the screams. If someone screams, put it back. The Scream Test can be applied to any product, …

As always, Web Archive comes to rescue: https://web.archive.org/web/20230701142059/https://jollyroge...

For that to work you have to trust the firmware. Overwriting with something random, saving what was fed and then cross-referencing that against the storage could work better, but t…

Do we have a proof that this means that they're ready for the late game, as opposed to just investors being desperate?

Here's what I tried and recommend: https://www.youtube.com/c/DANLIAOFreeToLearn - "Free To Learn Chinese", teacher uses a "natural method" where all of the content is in Chinese an…

They still can't beat the laws of physics. It's just the kind of density that doesn't seem feasible to put in a smartphone.

One thing that I wonder about is: could we write extra code that makes those reversible? I understand that there are no stack frames other than the topmost one, but maybe if we rec…

Why do you see it as more frustrating?

It's intriguing which battles they choose. It wasn't long since there was a discussion where some people were arguing that they can't make moral judgements because disobeying the l…

I'd say that pretty much everything about SQL is bad. Apart from composability, the syntax is super annoying (the ordering of keywords), many databases have pretty much no error re…
