Unexpected: reading the code was entertaining (no sarcasm): pixel fonts, png encoder.

Oh, that's unexpected idea. I hope I'll try it one day, thank you. I use FireWire as well. Spent a month connecting it, that was a devastating part. It turned out, only IEE1394 cards with TI chips works with Sony cameras. And only

I film my kids with the same camera in 2026. I don't know how to explain it, but it feels completely different. When I film something on a phone I feel awkward but with this camera I could film everyone and it's much more comforta

Neat article. I would add `layout.css.font-visibility=1` to hide all non-default fonts (makes a canvas font rendering test less useful).

This is great, I'd like to test! Is there any recommendations on which ollama models works best with this kind of tasks?

I feel your pain. I have my own struggles with switching tasks and what helps to some degree is understanding that that kind of switching and adapting is a skill which could be trained by doing exactly this. At least I feel less like a vict

Normally you would write a program that is a game of Doom when you run it (you create a program, then compile it and run). Dmitri created a program that does nothing and he don't even run it. But while it's compiling, it does a lo

So cool that with uv it becomes so easy to install such tools. What's missing in the install routine is uv installing this tool ignoring the Python dependency. My box has 3.10 and isd won't work with it. Fixed with `-p 3.13` optio

Phone scams are the problem in Russia: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2025/01/10/they-terrorized-him (TL;DR: student commits suicide because of such scams).

This is an absolutely great project. I had a lot of fun tinkering with the ROM of my Philips smart clock. It has a built-in DSL that looks like Rust (without memory management, though – so it's very lightweight), and with that, it&#x27

The very first "technique" is odd and based on a false assumption. Bash doesn't call /bin/[ binary when evaluating expressions. It uses its own builtin implementation instead.

As a teenager, I discovered disassemblers/debuggers and became very enthusiastic about hacking and patching things. I reset the trial period counter on a few shareware apps, and the next "victim" that caught my eyes was encry

This is awesome! I like how it's built and I looks like it's open for integrations of any kind. I'm also too impatient to manually enter all transactions but import from PDF statement form a bank looks like a doable task. The

Warteschlangensimulator – queueing systems simulator (free and open source)(a-herzog.github.io)

I found it extremely useful when I need to estimate throughput of some system. Especially it has some elements non-linear or non-continuous characteristics like rate limits etc.

I would recommend Warteschlangensimulator to simulate processes involving queues. It's often faster to simulate things than to build mathematical models. https://a-herzog.github.io/Warteschlangensimulator/

As a software engineer who occasionally creates interfaces, I appreciate these kinds of rules a lot. The most valuable thing is that it gives me the instruments to think and reason about my designs. Many thanks to the author!

When you're judging them, think about the space of possibilities as well. Is any example of a Russian business of such volume not tied to the government?

Wow. Why did you say 'still'? I use python a more than decade, with other languages as well (go, typescript). And I even don't think to abandon it. I do so many things with it, that it would be nonsense. Yes, the drawbacks ar

One more thing that happened with Linux in last 20 years is complexity raised in orders of magnitude. I remember Linux 2.x times and I had similar problems with hardware but a lot of them I fixed by following a limited set of tricks/pa

Not completely related, but here a mockumentary movie about Russians visiting Moon in ~1910-1920s (I guess) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljKPnQNp_kA It is beautiful even if you choose any random moment in the middle.

100 situps is a lot for a beginner. Actually, after 3 years in gym I did ~80 in 4 sets. Not because I can't do more but 1) it is a high stress for a spine and 2) there are other exercises to do.
