httpsterio··on Terence Tao: One of my papers got declined today
depending on the publication the reviewers might not even know who the authors are.
httpsterio··on I keep turning my Google Sheets into phone-friendly webapps
you could do an ios shortcut that fills a numbers sheet for you
httpsterio··on Astronauts face unique visual challenges at lunar South Pole
that's the easier part of eye tracking. eye tracker sensors work by working out where your eyes are and determine where you're looking by calculating the angle of your pupils and approximating the direction.
httpsterio··on Twenty Years of FM Synthesis Inside Ableton Live
Bitwig is made by ex-Ableton engineers and honestly, it blows Live out of the water in terms of flexibility.
httpsterio··on Windows 11 tweaks and usability improvements
I have had issues where a restore point didn't revert certain registry settings and have had to do a full reinstall.
httpsterio··on Show HN: Visual Sudoku solver in the browser
off-topic but I thought you might find this interesting or helpful :)

generally, when adding post scriptums, p.s. notes, it's common to add a p for each following note. So, p.s., p.p.s. etc :)

httpsterio··on Pinned Tweet Ordered by UK Court – Craig Wright Not Satoshi Nakamoto
I'm pretty sure this is the worst website I've visited in a long long time.
httpsterio··on A word about private attribution in Firefox
Vivaldi at least is closed source and I had a hard time understanding their revenue model so it's hard to gauge how privacy respecting they actually are.
httpsterio··on Notes on implementing dark mode
I prefer my OS in dark but every website in light, it's always a hassle when a website decides for me based on my OS setting which I wouldn't want to extend beyond the OS chrome.
httpsterio··on Gilead shot prevents all HIV cases in trial
I get an intra muscular injection of testosterone every two weeks and it's true that it's not as easy as a sub q injection would be, but it also definitely doesn't require a nurse.

there's a few good injection sites (upper arm, buttock, thigh or even pecs) and after I was shown once how it's done, I can do it myself. it's also essentially painless.

httpsterio··on Show HN: I made a multiple runtime version manager that can be used on Windows
it allows you to install multiple versions of different code compilers and interpreters and change which version is used.

so for example you can install nodejs lts and latest side by side and then easily swap which version is currently used when running node.

There are already tools like nvm (node version manager) that does the same but this one works for multiple tools instead of just one.

httpsterio··on 20 Years of Gmail
that doesn't really solve the issue because Google can close all of the accounts associated with you in one fell swoop.
httpsterio··on Your customers hate MVPs. Make a SLC instead (2017)
just to nitpick, Finland isn't a part of Scandinavia. Fennoscandia or Nordics would be more apt.
httpsterio··on Faircamp is a free Bandcamp alternative
can't get flacs from YouTube and some people also want to support the artists.
httpsterio··on InVision design collaboration services shutdown
Invision Studio was competing against Sketch, Adobe XD, Gravit Designer and Lunacy all at the same time. Invision Studio didn't really differentiate itself and it was super crash prone to boot. Then Figma came and ate everyone's lunch.

Invision clearly didn't have the ambition or understanding of user needs as they simply kept copying others instead of innovating in the space. Invision had a big headstart on others but still fell flat.

httpsterio··on Omg.lol: An Oasis on the Internet
I just joined after reading the post. This wasn't the first time I've heard of Omg.lol but I wasn't entirely convinced earlier.

For a long while, I've felt kinda lonely online as all of the communities and little corners online I've been part off have slowly died. I guess I've sort of been digitally homeless.

I really enjoy the latest trends when it comes to indieweb and digital gardens, people creating their own space instead of living on closed platforms, so this definitely hit all the marks for me. I don't think I've bought anything online faster than just now haha.

Blake just cost me twenty quid, but I'm happy to vote with my feet instead of selling my data and attention to big corporations.

httpsterio··on Show HN: JellyBox – Jellyfin Desktop Client
Finamp
httpsterio··on Animated AI
I think this might be less of an issue for HN browsing American nerds (who likely have great Internet connections) and more of an issue for people in developing countries or with poor network infrastructure.
httpsterio··on Alternatives to Adobe
Davinci Fusion or Blender?
httpsterio··on Redesigned Google Fonts website
Bunny is a reputable company and they're EU based. At the same time, they also promise zero loggin and that they don't pass any information to any third parties and that they're GDPR compliant.

They couldn't write it so boldly without risk of litigation unless that actually was the case, so I would consider it safe to use.

httpsterio··on My journey away from the JAMstack
what vendor lock in? Netlify at its core is still quite simple: pull stuff in from GitHub/Lab, run the build commands in an Ubuntu VM and publish the results.

Sure, there are some plugins that you can use to transmute the result builds and there's Edge functions, but nothing is hard to move to another provider.

httpsterio··on Show HN: Selecta – Tune Your Own Spotify Recommendation Algorithm
it got sold to Epic Games a while back.
httpsterio··on Kill dwm.exe on Windows for less input lag and better performance
as long as the lag is consistent, then I can concur :)

nothing is worse though than a rhythm game that can't keep proper rhythm itself.

httpsterio··on Sleeping through the technical interview (2022)
it's not an article though, it's a fictitious story, so of course everything is embellished for comedic effect.
httpsterio··on DaVinci Resolve for iPad
I switched from Premiere and Vegas to Resolve to work on video editing. It's as much an NLE as any other software and behaves exactly as one. I don't use Fusion at all, I solely work in Edit mode and it does everything I need as well as Premiere did. It's even more stable and comes with more in-built effects that I manipulate by automaations directly in the time line.

I don't know why you're saying it's not a "real" NLE.

httpsterio··on I've got to host and serve videos on demand at my job. Any ideas?
Yeah I found Bunny through Cloudflare's forums when someone asked a comparison between Bunny and CF Stream. It literally hits all the marks for me. Seems almost too good, just gotta hope they're around for the long run and their prices don't quadruple in the next few years :)
httpsterio··on I've got to host and serve videos on demand at my job. Any ideas?
I don't mind wrangling data in the CLI, and I have written a few scripts that do utilise some APIs, like a dynamic dns type script that runs on my home server and updates Netlify's DNS to point a list of subdomains to my home network, but I'm hesitant to build anything too complex for work because when I do leave, it'll all come tumbling down :)

I try to build our processes so that our non-tech HR/management department can keep everything running eventually. Spinning up a Docker image or deploying builds to a CI pipeline is a bit out of their job description and skill set hah.

Razuna looks extremely nifty, but I don't think they offer any public facing way of sharing content hosted there right? Isn't it basically an internal media storage like Dropbox?
httpsterio··on I've got to host and serve videos on demand at my job. Any ideas?
Are you sure? I've seen several companies using it for their content. Lots of educational platforms, events and even Dropout uses it for their videos. Also as they've dropped their free tier I'm pretty sure their target audience is companies who need either restrictive access to their videos, selling OTT or live video streaming events.

I think Stream has started to offer uploads directly from the browser since I last tried it out. I looked at it briefly right after CF launched it and I just gave up. Now that I tried it out again today, it wasn't too hard to get up and running.

The only thing missing is the ability to manage the uploads. We have around a hundred videos now and it's expected to grow pretty fast so being able to sort and tag the files is pretty essential especially as we want to prune older content. CF doesn't offer any statistics on video usage so we'll just have to guestimate and try to find files to remove by their filename.

It's workable but not ideal. Reading the Stream support forums I did find another service called Bunny and I'm giving that a go, it looks like an easier to use version of Stream with some nice organizational features.
