steren··on Emacs-copilot: Large language model code completion for Emacs
jart, you rock.
steren··on Xash3D: An open-source reimplementation of Half-Life
Yes, I should put a better error message. You need to load the game files, which aren't serve from my website.

If you want to see an example with my own maps, see https://minfantry.steren.fr/

steren··on Xash3D: An open-source reimplementation of Half-Life
I created Half-Life Engine JS wrapping a Wasm port of Xash3D in a clean JS module: https://hl-engine-js.steren.fr/

I wish Wasm was officially supported by Xash3D.

steren··on I think GCP is better than AWS (2020)
Cloud Run product lead here. Your comment and its replies warm my heart. On behalf of the whole Cloud Run team: Thank you!
steren··on 32“ E Ink screen that displays daily newspapers on your wall (2021)
The price tag is definitely higher than expected.

Also, I would need strong guarantee in Long Term Support and reading that it uses a proprietary backend doesn't seem to go in that direction.

steren··on Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?
https://blog.steren.fr https://labs.steren.fr
steren··on LLama.cpp now has a web interface
And the PR is from Shopify's CEO!
steren··on Using Google’s code history to write more code
Let me help you: Google Research
steren··on Using Google’s code history to write more code
This is a research blog post, similar to a published academic paper. Not everything is a product, that's how research works.
steren··on VanJS (Vanilla JavaScript): smallest reactive UI framework
I agree with you and I opened https://github.com/vanjs-org/van/issues/18
steren··on Google Bard waitlist
Imagine your company had 2 B users. Would you launch a new compute-intensive experimental feature to everyone? or would you put a mechanism to control the gradual rollout?
steren··on Launch HN: Electric Air (YC W23) – Heat pump sold directly to homeowners
As someone who recently picked a contractor to install a heat pumpt I need to see:

- confirmation that it does both heating and cooling - the price - a list of approved contractors who can install it in my area - the expected installation costs

steren··on Show HN: Web0.cc – Generate clutter, ad and tracker free article pages to share
Why isn't this achieved client side?
steren··on Google Groups has been left to die
Google Groups actually received a very big UI refresh ~ 2 years ago. I bet that was a complete re-write of the UI stack, not something you see for a product which would have been left to die.
steren··on [dead]
HN community, let's do our job and downvote. This is not the content we come here for. Edit: Oooops, no downvote button on HN. I guess Iĺl just close the tab then
steren··on Forking Chrome to turn HTML into SVG
Much cleaner than my hack of Chrome -> PDF -> Inkscape -> SVG

https://labs.steren.fr/2020/05/08/screenshot-as-svg/

steren··on Ask HN: Have You Left Kubernetes?
Note that Cloud Run is not built on Kubernetes, but on Borg. It implements the Knative Serving API spec, mainly for portability reason with Knative and Kubernertes.

Source: I'm the Cloud Run PM and we have commmunicated about that publicly in the past.

steren··on How far can you go by train in 5h?
Nice. It doesn't seem to play very nice with cities that have multiple stations. If you hover Paris, Gare de Lyon gets selected most of the time. But if you zoom in, you can select other Paris stations (e.g. Gare de L'Est) which leads to different results
steren··on Firefox rolls out Total Cookie Protection by default to all users
Can someone help me understand how this is different from blocking third party cookies?
steren··on The appeal of using plain HTML pages (2019)
I wrote about static HTML sites in "My stacks will outlive yours": https://blog.steren.fr/2020/my-stack-will-outlive-yours/
steren··on The appeal of using plain HTML pages (2019)
labs.steren.fr is pure static HTML, https://labs.steren.fr/atom.xml is manually updated and it doesn't take me more than 1 minute per article to do so.
steren··on SingleFile: Save a complete web page into a single HTML file
That makes sense. I also used Data URIs to generate distributable web pages.
steren··on SingleFile: Save a complete web page into a single HTML file
Chrome can save to a single file (.mhtml). I am not sure I understand the difference.
steren··on MDN Redesign
Wow, it's fast. I searched something, and as soon as I selected one of the quick result, the page displayed!
steren··on Google Release Chrome OS Flex
Well, it's "early access".
steren··on Open Sourcing the App Engine Standard Java Runtime
Cloud Run can be configured to have CPU always allocated, whcih allows for background processing. By combining this with a number of minimum instances, one can benefit from always on instances, not request driven, to execute background jobs
steren··on Turning a GitHub Page into a Progressive Web App
"Install app" is available on Firefox for Android. So yeah, only desktop install I guess
steren··on Turning a GitHub Page into a Progressive Web App
What do you mean? I confirm I can install a PWA using Firefox on Android.
steren··on Firefox is the alternative to a Chrome hegemony
> It’d be nice to see something similar on the mobile front at some point, but I doubt that will happen

AFAIK, Google Play offers a browser choice prompt on new Androids, at least in Europe

steren··on Direct file transfer via browser with no server involvement
Another very nice peer-to-peer file sharing website is https://wormhole.app/
