Not sure about this. See Firefox’s internal stats: https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity

And worth noting that this mostly implements the newer version of material design (M3). However, M3 was a lot more focused on shapes besides just circles and rectangles, but they d…

Looks like it. Plus it looks like they’re closer to a traditional screen sprinting shop in that they just take a file and will work with you manually tweak and adjust things to loo…

How is your PDF coverage? They are notoriously difficult things to render, with endless edge cases. Mozilla’s PSD.js is the status quo here, so what do you do better than them?

Quite to the contrary: all a company is (at least as originally conceptualised) is the formalisation of a group of people, usually working together towards a shared goal. It’s in t…

Luckily they seem to have open-sourced it [0], so it should still be able to serve this use case, and help others develop in the future. [0]: https://github.com/garnix-io/garnix-ci…

It should also work with the Cloudflare privacy pass extension [0] FWIW, since Kagi just implemented RFC 9576 [1] [0]: https://blog.cloudflare.com/privacy-pass-standard/ [1]: https…

Their video demo is interesting. If that was to be useful, it would need to work on sites like Netflix. And for that to work, they would presumably have to axe drm. I am fully in f…

It is useless policy season. This is highly unlikely to get through before the upcoming election. The press releases are mostly just virtue signalling.

I’m highly doubtful about this - it seems to be an excuse to disestablish the BSA, rather than a genuine basis for the decision. I think this will help drive more partisan and sens…

Here in NZ, a lot of people live with less than 1GB of mobile data / month. Once you run out, you have to pay per MB at extortionate rates. Most people still use sms rather than RC…

Had lots of fun when this first came out - it just goes to an LLM. Lots of fun with nayan cat and other things. The listed languages have extra prompts attached to them though

I mean… Apple went out of their way to build a GUI OS picker that supports custom names and icons into their boot loader. So they don’t actively help (or event make it easy by prov…

Using the iOS 26 keyboard on an iPhone SE 2/3 is a truly miserable experience now. Upgrading from 18 was a terrible mistake

This is cool work. However, the author claims the following: > This knowledge could be useful for security research and building developer tools that does not rely on Xcode or Appl…

Lots of fun references here - the Minecraft world border, and green goo looking “strange matter” from Kurzgesagt

LiDAR is the technology used to do spatial capture. The output is just point clouds of surfaces. So they’re generating surface point clouds from video

Was thinking I had missed an entire edition of Pathfinder for a moment upon reading the title

They made C memory safe? This is a big thing to gloss over in a single paragraph. Does anyone have extra details on this? > On devices with iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 or later, Apple mod…

I find it interesting how in the essay Sanderson implies he doesn’t take issue with AI as a tool. You can use it to search in a more advanced way, or to summarise meeting minutes. …

I’ve used this site every time I’m doing http networking stuff for the past few years. It’s so easy to just go to http.cat/303 to check a status code you don’t know, or to scroll d…

The IEEE-reference feels like a cute nod to HN

In a hilarious turn of fate, on iOS safari the first time one of the radio options is clicked after loading, the css focus style is applied, but a click is not always registered so…

> This repository is a public mirror. All development is happening elsewhere. So if I have code on a personal (but publicly exposed) git server with a license that includes the abo…

Kagi has an optional AI summary users can trigger on demand, which feels a lot more useful than google’s - most of the time I want the actual websites, but sometimes I just want an…
