leiserfg··on Show HN: QR codes where your photo is the code, not pasted on top
Meanwhile https://github.com/heuer/qrcode-artistic has qrcode with animations even.
leiserfg··on It's Time for LLM Connection Strings
The idea is nice, sadly those are not the only things required to talk to an LLM .There are more than one endpoint type, different modes (images, video, audio), different templates for tool-calling...
leiserfg··on Zed's Pricing Has Changed: LLM Usage Is Now Token-Based
It is, the link is in the readme.
leiserfg··on On File Formats
If binary, consider just using SQLite.
leiserfg··on I miss Vim
Félix Is like MacOS, it's good until it's not and then you can't extend it.
leiserfg··on I Like Makefiles
I "hate" Makefiles, for building it's faster to use meson, zig build, cmake+ninja. For this use case, https://github.com/adriancooney/Taskfile is way more flexible and you don't need to mess with PHONY rules.
leiserfg··on [dead]
It's not April 1st any more, stop doing this please!
leiserfg··on Show HN: Python with Rust powers
It's weird to me that no-one doing this kind of project compares it with nginx-unit.
leiserfg··on Womp 3D – The New Way to 3D
Firefox user here, changed my user-agent to the chrome one and the app works fine (just a bit slow).
leiserfg··on Iosevka – Versatile typeface for code, from code
I managed to be so annoying that I got kovid and be5invis to make changes in iosevka and kitty until they worked fine together (before ligatures didn't work). User of both for several years.
leiserfg··on Image file formats that didn’t make it
Is not bmp the default file-format of paint nowadays?
leiserfg··on Kitty with Iosevka Ligatures
This can't pass unperceived. Since last release of Kitty and Iosevka, one can get ligatures working correctly.
leiserfg··on Firefox 89 Tab Appearance
Until now about:config browser.proton.enabled false works fine.
leiserfg··on Python – Create large ZIP archives without memory inflation
How does it compares to https://github.com/kbbdy/zipstream?
leiserfg··on KFC launches 4K, 240FPS gaming console with a built-in chicken warmer
I hope they won't call it "Calienta Pollas" in Spain.
leiserfg··on Graphics in Qt 6.0: QRhi, Qt Quick, Qt Quick 3D
For mac they have two desktop apps, one native and one in Qt.
leiserfg··on Graphics in Qt 6.0: QRhi, Qt Quick, Qt Quick 3D
True, but if you are porting an OpenGl App (like Krita) you'll need to rewrite all your "hardware accelerated code" from scratch with maybe zero gain.
leiserfg··on Graphics in Qt 6.0: QRhi, Qt Quick, Qt Quick 3D
I just hope they bring back angle as a cross platform back-end so you can access "low level graphic hardware" without needing to implement also for Metal and Directx11.
