The better solution would be fix Anubis and optimise its calculations on iPhone. Maybe it needs WebAssembly hashing implementation instead of JS? But it would just make Anubis suck a little bit less Anubis "protection"…
6 years ago at a new job I was forced to use provided Mac laptop. Never used MacOS before. So first thing first: get Firefox. Managed to download .dmg file. Double clicked it. And now I see utterly confusing window with…
JPEG photos stored as progressive usually take ~5% less space so there is value. And it is possible to losslessly transcode JPEG to progressive. Lossless transcoding to JPEG XL gives even more space savings though.
What if government websites were distributed & archived as a default, from the beginning? Think IPFS as a first target for publication, "normal web" only as a mirror. Is it feasible? Should we push for this default?…

I am mulling the idea that we need a day of fast software software to spread the [culture?] of loving fast low-latency software. Like a programmers day or sysadmin day. That is a special celebration of fast software. To…

You can get away from supply/demand laws. By pretending that something is not giverned by them and putting fixed price lower than real price (i.e. that price at which suppl equals demand) one leaves space for scalpers…
In lossless mode WebP is superior to AVIF.
Why "was"? I still read books in fb2.
Looks like you missed that MapComplete is an alternative interface to view OSM data and contribute to it.

Well yes, LLM need rich and favorable substrate to grow and learn (or we might say bootstrap) As well as DNA needs specific substrate (cell with ribosomes and other machinery). As well as humans (one need oxygen…

This is a push for privacy and it is fundamentally pushes in the opposite direction from let's say "forming accurate knowledge about the world". How can we combat being mislead by false AI generated images? I'd say…
This is far from the first time that I see on HN indignation on LaLiga blockings. Sadly all this rage does not seem to lead to any change. I'd like to suggest some steps that might/should be followed, which I will not…
I think that in most cases jq is launched to extract value from relatively small JSON document, for which raw parsing speed is not affect much. jq is just really slow to start. Version 1.6 was especially abysmally slow…
