Please read the HN guidelines: "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work". Link at the bottom-left.

Yeah I'd accept it from my dentist. A couple of years ago, they gave me a dental crown for one of my upper right molars. Two months later, it chipped. It felt weird in my mouth.

Why wouldn't this be acceptable? They source that crown from a supplier, and apparently there was a fault with it.

Very nice, thanks!

If you're afraid of file corruption, install par2 with homebrew.

My procedure for pictures is that monthly, I copy them off of my phone onto my storage. Then I run par2 in that directory to add a parity file. That all goes onto the backup.

To compile and run on macOS:

Install XQuartz:

  $ brew cask install xquartz

Then run it from the terminal:

  $ open /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app

Clone libschrift from Github, then edit the file config.mk and update lines 14 and 15 as follows:

  X11INC = /opt/X11/include
  X11LIB = /opt/X11/lib

Then compile and run the demo:

  $ make
  $ export DISPLAY=":0"
  $ ./sftdemo

You should see a "Hello world" app.

I'm utterly delighted that you have the courage to just put it out there. It doesn't need to be complete at all. For some purposes (for example rendering a font that consists of shapes), the current state of the code may actually be perfect.

I didn't realize that the percentage is that small! However now that I think about it, mobile could be an excellent place to use this library.

Yeah, that's what the developer mentions in the readme. I wonder though, is it such a big deal in the era of 4K displays?

Marvelous story, thanks for sharing.

TT-RSS is pretty great. For Android, I suggest the open source client of the same name, from the same author. For iOS, I suggest "tiny Reader RSS":

Maybe the Thunderbolt 3 MacBooks have enough capacity to spare?

Oh really? Especially on mobile, that's useful to know, thanks!

I've set Firefox its default search engine to DDG. Then if the search results are unsatisfying, I search again but now prepend the search with !g for Google, or !gi for Google Images.

Thanks, that makes things different. I should've looked better at this particular case!

The same could be said about a CEO who cuts everybody with 10% and gets a huge bonus at the same time. I'm not disagreeing with you, though.

As far as I know, Android doesn't support CalDAV or CardDAV. Any apps I tried were lacking in some way or another. How did you get Android to sync with Fruux?

Very useful setting, thanks for pointing it out!

It does spell doom, but the problem is the whole timing thing. Since you can't predict the future, I think it makes sense to not get out of dollar denominated assets, but simply not go 100% in on it.

That door is beautifully done.

The height for me was when Chris talked about the Python integration, somewhere after 0:24:30. Marco asks jokingly: "can you also do PHP integration?" Chris is silent for two seconds, then continues as though nobody said anything :-)

To be fair, he does answer the question a minute later.

Parent noted they're a a medical professional involved in procuring PPE for a small health chain. Above comment should not be voted down, IMHO.

Of course you can spoof anybody's address. Depending on the protocol, you may not be able to get it working. But if it's UDP, you can definitely spoof someone's IP address.

My solution is to create par2 files. This is a manual solution though, and doesn't help you when you go and edit the original pictures. But what's great about par2 is that you can it allows you to correct errors.

Yup, I had the same problem. But now it appears ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well done!

Wow, that's very, very generous of you!

NextDNS is fantastic. I use it to block ads on my iPhones and iPads.

Indeed, macOS supports something similar. The notification center has a World Clock widget. I've got friends in Illinois, India and Australia, and it's incredibly useful to have a couple of clocks right there.

I don't know this technology, but I'd really recommend using a VPN that provides a SOCKS proxy for your Bittorrent connections. Otherwise you're just announcing your IP address related to your torrent activities to the whole world.
