Sponsorblock does exactly that (and a bit more). I can't watch youtube without it nowadays. Subscription feed -> yt-dlp -> mpv with sponorblock. If this ever stops working I'm not suffering through ads, I'm ignoring you

The problem it's originally fixing is bad scrapers accessing dynamic site content that's expensive to produce, like trying to crawl all diffs in a git repo, or all mediawiki oldids. Now it's also used on mostly static conte

Several sites using cloudflare are partially down since just after 18:00Z. AO3_Status reports it's Cloudflare routing issues for IPv4 traffic. (but the Cloudflare status page reports nothing useful)

I'm using Windows on this laptop, this seems to affect all sites with any sort of Cloudflare protection, including Cloudflare's support and discourse sites, pubs.acs.org, and annoyingly some sites necessary for my current projects

Seems to affect all sites, even cloudflare's own sites like http://community.cloudflare.com/ and https://support.cloudflare.com/ , so I can't even report this directly to them without entering the

Ask HN: Has anyone else been having issues with Cloudflare captchas this week?

I mean, technically they have? Maybe not in this update, but they include local AI models for webpage translation. It's pretty useful (when it's a supported language pair, at least)

Yes, you'd just need to have a way to provide input (probably easiest as a demo file), and a machine big enough to simulate the pattern. You'd definitely be waiting for a while to see any action, though :P

If you're interested in dives that deep, you might like Gynvael Coldwind's hello world in Python on Windows dive [1]. Goes through CPython internals, Windows conhost, font rasterization, and GPU rendering, among others. [1]: http

The `single_ref` field is a fixed-size array in both of the objects referenced in this line, so this line can't panic, and no bounds checks are involved (since the compiler sees the index < length at compile time and doesn't ev

In my experience, if you have to build an older maven project, you have to go through a lot of painful hoops, mostly around HTTP vs HTTPS repos and java source/compiler versions. I have encountered many old projects that don't bui

I went back and forth, both ways. I started out in Python with snake_case identifiers, then moved to Javascript with camelCase, and now I mostly use Rust with snake_case for names and UpperCamelCase for types. I don't find either style

I took a look at other days of your musical advent. I think my favorite is day 23. Day 4 strongly reminds me of the True Lab music from the Undertale soundtrack [1]. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y49b8aiQVBg - Undert

Unfortunate that this project is only a partial reimplementation of QuickCheck. I was hoping that this would use fuzzing coverage. Coverage guided QuickCheck has been on my mind for a while, I believe it would greatly improve fuzzing experi

BitTorrent isn't "not practical". It is however less practical than IPFS. With IPFS, you can effortlessly link from one tree to another, already existing tree. In BitTorrent, you have to include a .torrent file, or an infohas

While I haven't looked for more info, I can assure you IPFS is a slower protocol than HDFS. The existing IPFS implementation involves a lot of overhead in memory, CPU use, and latency [and as you can see in the MapReduce bar graph, it&

`let` is block scoped, while `var` is function scoped. Essentially: function do_something() { if (true) { var x = 42; let y = 42; } console.log(x); // 42 console.log(y); // R

Is this project open source? Googling is ineffective due to an NES game called Mappy.

Recently I came across the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day website[1], it's old-school HTML, started in 1995 and still updated today. All the HTML takes 2-4 kB on average, but you might not get much use from the site in a terminal :)

See how GNU units resolves this: 1/10 m -> 0.1 / m 1|10 m -> 0.1 m 27 ^ 2/3 -> 243 27 ^ 2|3 -> 9 You get the gist of it - a division operator with insane precedence.
