It's worth noting that Swiftfin finally had a new release for tvOS this summer which is worth checking out if you're interested in Jellyfin on Apple TV

It is indeed badly aliased. The technique demonstrated does not take into account antialiasing in the initial render, which causes this issue. There are ways to improve it, but I would advise against this approach in general since it doesn&

x86-64 introduced a `syscall` instruction to allow syscalls with a lower overhead than going through interrupts. I don't know any reason to prefer `int 80h` over `syscall` when the latter is available. For documentation, see for exampl

There was a Minesweeper on here that used a SAT solver, but I cannot find it at the moment. As I recall, it never had any issue with resolving the board quickly. I think it dynamically resolved where the mines would be as you played the gam

It's more a matter of your personal preference and previous exposure to different languages. The way Rust reads is one of its super strengths in my book. I also really enjoyed Standard ML in university, and Rust picks up some of that (

Adding some detail to this: With three buffers, you have one front-buffer (what's currently visible on screen) and two back-buffers. Let's call them A, B and C, respectively. This lets you work on the next frame in, say, B, and wh

Exact integers doesn't seem to be its strong suite. Can it even represent 3 exactly? Running code from the linked notebook ( https://github.com/AdamScherlis/notebooks-python/blob/main/m... ), I can se

That's true for normal binary encoding of integers, but I think we should understand the question in context of the post: What's the number of bits required in iterated log coding?

Cute! I wonder if it would be amenable for use as a variable-width encoding for, say, DCT coefficients in a JPEG-like codec..?

I have realized that there is a big design space here, as I recently did a write-up of my take, Id30. 30 bits of information encoded base 32 into six chars, eg bpv3uq, zvaec2 or rfmbyz, with some handling of ambiguous chars on decoding. ht

"System Integrity Protection (SIP)" seems to be the correct name here, for anyone as confused as me :) (More details here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102149 )

Ah! That's what got me. Private mode is my default. I can confirm that I get it working in Firefox outside of private mode. Thanks :)

Same experience with Firefox, seems to require Chrome. There is a security-related error in the console.

It looks like it implements hardware acceleration of the VP9 codec for some specific hardware (Rockchip VDEC and Hantro G2). This opens up playing, for example, lots of YouTube videos with less CPU usage on devices with that hardware. I can

I, too, would have appreciated slightly more documentation. Here are two questions I had, and what I figured out. Many RSS readers are stand-alone GUI applications. I would have appreciated an up-front notice that this is a hosted solution.

I haven't had a look at the source code for this, but I expect that it syncs with the screen refresh rate.

I have recently experimented with writing dependency-free JS. I ended up using Webpack and Babel, but no frameworks or libraries, and I find it quite nice to work with. These are my tips for making the best of it: https://magnush

Right, so, in my book, reasoning based on facts such as "these squares are clear" are _considering_ those squares. This is in contrast to the local rules I first describe that consider only a very limited part of the board, and th

It's been some years, but I think it boils down to the definition of when you are _considering_ some part of the game state. Right off the bat, I cannot agree that abc must contain exactly 2 mines. From what we can see, abc contains _a

In complex situations it is easy to come to the conclusion that you have to guess, but sometimes there is an elaborate connection you might have missed. This game is sure to call you out on any mistakes you make of this kind. That would at

Great read! It's in a similar vein as the variant I developed, which makes you declare that you are in a situation that requires a guess. I don't use an SAT solver, and I prepopulate the board. https://magnushoff.com&#x

Similarly, only Rust has "non-standardized, only one meaningful implementation" listed as a con, even if this is true for several of the others as well.

As a desktop Linux user, I'd guess it's harder to make it work right (because of, among other things, driver issues) and it affects a smaller portion of the user base of Firefox. Oh well. Fortunately it's easy to opt in to, a
