  • A Hashing Game Inspired By xkcd

    Jump

  • This isn't a million miles from what bitcoin mining does, although in that case they're trying to find hashes that start with a lot of zeroes.

  • Bun is up to 20x slower than NodeJS in logic operations

    Jump

  • The uncropped version makes it a bit clearer:

    It's also clearer that it's from an AI.

  • Not forgotten

    Jump

  • I just saw the top two thirds, and had to scroll to see the punchline and the comm - what a pleasant surprise! For me, it's the 3DO but that's too niche for most.

  • How to find project names?

    Jump

  • DFRA

    That doesn't work, though.

    For a recursive acronym, you want something like ADFRA Didn't Forget Recursive Acronyms.

  • Millennial parents increasingly saying ‘no’ to sleepovers

    Jump

  • All the studies I've seen say the world is safer than ever for kids, but parents seem to live in fear.

    My childhood memories were parents saying "don't come back until it's dark", and summers full of building dens, getting stung by nettles and sleeping well. "In my day" vibes, I know, but hopefully there's still a silent majority of parents that give their kids this freedom and these articles are overblown.

  • Release 0.0.0-alpha1 · roc-lang/roc

    Jump

  • Is this a joke? This is surely worse than using semvar.

  • Press ESC to quit without saving

    Jump

  • It's a blue screen that's shown because something has died, I think it's a perfect fit.

  • Fantasy Maps Should Be Weirder - Nakari Speardane on Youtube

    Jump

  • I was going to post this myself, but you beat me to it. Great video.

  • JavaScript Temporal is coming

    Jump

  • date-fns? It's third in my search results but doesn't ring any bells to me.

  • JavaScript Temporal is coming

    Jump

  • I'll be very happy to not have to use Date any more. Pop quiz, what's in whatnum?

     js
        
const vday = new Date('14 February 2025');
const whatnum = vday.getDay() - vday.getMonth();

    Err, it's 5... Ha, amazing; that's not even the gotcha I meant to demonstrate. getDay returns the day of the week, the day of the month is returned from getDate.

    Take two:

     js
        
const vday = new Date('14 February 2025');
const whatnum = vday.getDate() - vday.getMonth();

    So this is 14 - 2 = 12, right? Nope! The day (from getDate) is 1-based whereas month is 0-based, so 14 - 1 = 13.

  • Book Review: Off Midway Station by Marc Alan Edelheit

    Jump

  • Yeah, worth a read; it’s fun.

    Rating: 1.5/5

    That rating doesn't seem to match the rest of the review.

  • Object.freeze() Goes Hard 🥶❄️

    Jump

  • TypeScript's readonly is compile-time only and has zero runtime cost

    This point means that I'll probably never use the good ideas in this post: if I'm doing JS complicated enough to need Object.freeze(), I'll be doing it in Typescript.

  • I tested an ink pen that digitizes your handwriting, but the app makes it truly useful

    Jump

  • the neater and more consistent your handwriting, the easier time the Nuwa pen will have captur[ing] it

    That's me out then

  • A Better Federated Search

    Jump

  • This might even be an appropriate use for AI (maybe even running in-browser for privacy). I imagine something that reads your prompt and auto-populates a few rings to search. You review and edit the suggested rings, then click search.

  • I think he caught it from Worf

    Jump

  • I don't think that's the opposite of plot armour, though - O'Brien was too much a main character (and too popular) to be killed off, so we knew he'd survive the episode/danger/trauma.

    He definitely broke his arm more than the rest of the cast combined, but was spared any serious injury until the plot required it.

  • Good British comedy

    Jump

  • Minus things already mentioned (and in no particular order):

    • The Thick of It (political comedy, has some amazing swearing)
    • The Cleaner (British version of a German comedy)
    • Ghosts (not the US remake, of course)
    • 8 out of Cats Does Countdown (comedy version of the long running quiz show)
    • Alan Davis's As Yet Untitled (talk show with comedians)
    • Gone Fishing (not a comedy show per se, a gentle fishing show featuring Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse)
    • Drunk History (British version of the American show/YouTube sensation from back in the day)
    • Mighty Boosh (surreal humour, still gets referenced frequently in my house)
    • Jeeves and Wooster
    • Phoenix Nights (Peter Kay show, definitely check this out)
    • Vicar of Dibley

  • TWISTED: The dramatic history of twisted-pair Ethernet

    Jump

  • I watched this the other day. Overly dramatic in parts (which I just found funny), but it's clearly well-researched and has interviews with some of the original players.

    Definitely worth the 30 minutes.

  • DMARCbis is around the corner: what's changing

    Jump

  • The ”indirect email flows” issue, i.e. forwarding and mailing lists breaking DMARC alignment, remains unsolved

    Perhaps they should keep working on it, then. Easier said than done, I know...

  • Self-hosted Content-Security-Policy report, etc, collector/displayer?

    Jump

  • I just went to look for answers this, since report-uri.com is killing its free tier, and the lowest paid is way higher than my usage justifies. What did you settle on?
