Unexpected: reading the code was entertaining (no sarcasm): pixel fonts, png encoder.

Oh, that's unexpected idea. I hope I'll try it one day, thank you. I use FireWire as well. Spent a month connecting it, that was a devastating part. It turned out, only IEE1394 car…

I film my kids with the same camera in 2026. I don't know how to explain it, but it feels completely different. When I film something on a phone I feel awkward but with this camera…

I love it

Neat article. I would add `layout.css.font-visibility=1` to hide all non-default fonts (makes a canvas font rendering test less useful).

Thanks, eager to try :)

This is great, I'd like to test! Is there any recommendations on which ollama models works best with this kind of tasks?

I feel your pain. I have my own struggles with switching tasks and what helps to some degree is understanding that that kind of switching and adapting is a skill which could be tra…

> There is a concept called “Copilot Lag”. It refers to a state where after each action, an engineer pauses, waiting for something to prompt them what to do next. I've been experie…

Normally you would write a program that is a game of Doom when you run it (you create a program, then compile it and run). Dmitri created a program that does nothing and he don't e…

I enabled "Offline mode", and it worked. But yes.

So cool that with uv it becomes so easy to install such tools. What's missing in the install routine is uv installing this tool ignoring the Python dependency. My box has 3.10 and …

Phone scams are the problem in Russia: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2025/01/10/they-terrorized-him (TL;DR: student commits suicide because of such scams).

This is an absolutely great project. I had a lot of fun tinkering with the ROM of my Philips smart clock. It has a built-in DSL that looks like Rust (without memory management, tho…

The very first "technique" is odd and based on a false assumption. Bash doesn't call /bin/[ binary when evaluating expressions. It uses its own builtin implementation instead.

As a teenager, I discovered disassemblers/debuggers and became very enthusiastic about hacking and patching things. I reset the trial period counter on a few shareware apps, and th…

This is awesome, and client-side Python is magic :-)

ClickHouse is a separate company registered in US and some part of it is owned by US-based venture funds.

This is awesome! I like how it's built and I looks like it's open for integrations of any kind. I'm also too impatient to manually enter all transactions but import from PDF statem…

I found it extremely useful when I need to estimate throughput of some system. Especially it has some elements non-linear or non-continuous characteristics like rate limits etc.

I would recommend Warteschlangensimulator to simulate processes involving queues. It's often faster to simulate things than to build mathematical models. https://a-herzog.github.io…

I'm excited about the language but it's impossible to google anything about it :(

They took my daughter to the orphanage luckily for two days because of this reason (I'm a single parent).

As a software engineer who occasionally creates interfaces, I appreciate these kinds of rules a lot. The most valuable thing is that it gives me the instruments to think and reason…
