The article did not make me understand that at all. > Since we're making a new app, we're going to want two things: an app server (which hosts our API & frontend) and a view server…

As far as I can tell the specification only demands the code modules (pixels) to be square (which is already often ignored in "aesthetic" QR codes which use e.g. round dots instead…

From another comment: https://research.swtch.com/qart Looks like this is definitely possible, the results aren't as clean as you might hope though. Maybe they could be improved by …

I think sampling "the whole square" might actually not be that good for decoding even standard QR codes as aliasing at the edges of each code module ("pixel" of the code) in a came…

Coincidentally came across this after reading a comment [1] under the recent post on _for-sale DNS records, visiting milk.com and scrolling through the owner's Mastodon [1] https:/…

With the crucial difference that these processes deterministically return correct & working results (save for bugs which can be fixed and then stay fixed ). Cannot be guaranteed fo…

I could not find any indication that the purpose of this ever-increasing spending (while alarming) is money laundering in the essay you linked. Can you provide any other source to …

This post mentions https://github.com/wyager/zfs-backup for (offsite) backups. Why would they recommend this over something more established like https://github.com/jimsalterjrs/sa…

There is Mathics: https://mathics.org/ It doesn't cover the full standard library of Mathematica but the syntax is very similar and a lot of functionality is there.

Can you elaborate on how your Forgejo frontend will be different than the default one? I'm asking because I've only ever used GitHub, GitLab and Forgejo for longer periods and Forg…

Refreshing to see competition entering this space. However, if you want to self-host, not caring for reliability or ease of use: bind9 supports RFC 2136 DNS UPDATE and DNSSEC, too …

In my humble opinion it was balanced when Google gave traffic to sites and these sites gave good results for Google to show

My hopes are high that the EU will be able to do this some day (unless it's fully enshittified first -- see chat control, age verification etc.)

I've seen good, low-budget indie sci-fi short films that would presumably meet all of the Dogma 25 rules. So I think it doesn't protect against this category of films and neither w…

The comment sections are perfectly fit for this purpose, too.

HN also decides what you see. Yes, it's (mostly) based on other users' upvotes, but on TikTok et al. its the same just with a different metric (watchtime, interaction, retention an…

Related: https://lilypond.org/ I don't know if you can write drum sheet music with it. I really like your editor with the transcription view. Maybe a spectrogram would be more help…

Fun idea and also I didn't know that websites could get access to my accelerometer data. However for me the sample frequency is 50 Hz which is way too low to measure even the lowes…

Could one mistake this > Status: Resolved (accidentally) > Severity: Critical → Catastrophic → Somehow Fine for a real CVE report?

How is it partisan political flamebait? While the title and opening paragraph might be exaggerated and not exactly neutral (which is even admitted right after), the rest of the art…

Probably not because EUV gets absorbed incredibly quickly by anything other than vacuum. This is why it is created in low density gas, thin liquid or solid samples (high harmonic g…

Haven't tried iNaturalist yet, but I love Merlin Bird ID [1] and Flora Incognita [2]. The latter seems to be exceptionally accurate (over 80% up to 98% depending on the dataset) [3…

Direct link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Canon_EOS_digital_cam... Not sure why it is a "template".

Of course! I bet there are tons of ideas that didn't make it into Unicode, for better of worse. Where you draw the line is kind of arbitrary. You, personally, can of course opt out…
