tesla.sexy contains the following text, which is slightly concerning: love your fate become your own ubermensch you are the master of your soul be kind there is so much to love, so…

Finally we can set up verifiably fair betting! $10 that the NIST beacon at 1727710980000 will have more than 15 A's in it!

Why do you “have to oppose induction” now?

This might be off topic but has anyone else noticed the sloppiness in Apples' websites lately? On both Safari and Firefox on my machine the titles on this page appear without the c…

Obligatory "Why Philosophers Should Care About Computational Complexity" by Scott Aaronson[1], one of the best reads I've ever had from a paper. It debunks the kind of arguments th…

YouTube themselves haven't done this, but a lot of content creators have started integrating their own ads and sponsorship deals into their content. This is often done in fun ways …

Nice! A welcome addition! Too bad they're not using KaTeX [0] instead. It renders the maths server-side, so there's no runtime needed. An additional bonus is that the resulting mat…

My hunch is that it’s not explicitly provided to the website by the browser, but there are ways to measure what the zoom level is using JavaScript on the page. One could use elemen…

But nothing is stopping the US customs service (or any other service) to store the unencrypted data for later reference right? I don’t find it farfetched that some big players woul…

Oh man, there was a post of a (new?/in preview?) productivity/project planning app on HN recently that I've been looking for in a while since I lost the link. Hoping that shows up …

That would be more effective! But that's not something Apple is trying to solve here (or could ever solve). They are trying to prevent CSAM images from being stored and distributed…

This is pretty cool! It reminds me of a similar project that’s been around called drawille [0] which is pretty nifty. [0]: https://github.com/asciimoo/drawille

Yep! I build this font in FontForge. Such a simple pice of software.

Hi everyone, quite unexpected to see this on the frontpage of Hacker News! I made this so many years ago but I'm not using it myself anymore and I haven't been maintaining it. I wa…

This concept is really neat! I do have one question: how would something like this work when your webpages are being cached or when you're behind a CDN? As far as I can see none of…

It is to my understanding that Apple and its lawyers aren't claiming that the code they create is "speech". They are claiming that forcing Apple to digitally sign the codebase (whi…

You could do this (although it is likely to be impractical): avoid writing java code altogether. Use a language with better abstraction features like Scala or Clojure. Those two co…

great read!

http://alternativeto.net/ kind off does this. Although it is not for programming only so I don't know if this is what you're looking for.
