And worth noting that this mostly implements the newer version of material design (M3). However, M3 was a lot more focused on shapes besides just circles and rectangles, but they don’t seem to have quite gotten that here

Looks like it. Plus it looks like they’re closer to a traditional screen sprinting shop in that they just take a file and will work with you manually tweak and adjust things to look good, rather than just printing a file straight away

How is your PDF coverage? They are notoriously difficult things to render, with endless edge cases. Mozilla’s PSD.js is the status quo here, so what do you do better than them?

Quite to the contrary: all a company is (at least as originally conceptualised) is the formalisation of a group of people, usually working together towards a shared goal. It’s in the name - just like you have a troupe of actors, you may hav

Luckily they seem to have open-sourced it [0], so it should still be able to serve this use case, and help others develop in the future. [0]: https://github.com/garnix-io/garnix-ci

It should also work with the Cloudflare privacy pass extension [0] FWIW, since Kagi just implemented RFC 9576 [1] [0]: https://blog.cloudflare.com/privacy-pass-standard/ [1]: https://www.rfc-editor.org/

Their video demo is interesting. If that was to be useful, it would need to work on sites like Netflix. And for that to work, they would presumably have to axe drm. I am fully in favour of removing the pointless energy tax we pay as a socie

It is useless policy season. This is highly unlikely to get through before the upcoming election. The press releases are mostly just virtue signalling.

I’m highly doubtful about this - it seems to be an excuse to disestablish the BSA, rather than a genuine basis for the decision. I think this will help drive more partisan and sensationalist media, like one gets in the US. NZ has been relat

Here in NZ, a lot of people live with less than 1GB of mobile data / month. Once you run out, you have to pay per MB at extortionate rates. Most people still use sms rather than RCS or Signal or anything secure so they don’t have to pa

Had lots of fun when this first came out - it just goes to an LLM. Lots of fun with nayan cat and other things. The listed languages have extra prompts attached to them though

I mean… Apple went out of their way to build a GUI OS picker that supports custom names and icons into their boot loader. So they don’t actively help (or event make it easy by providing clear docs), but they do still do enough to enable rea

This is cool work. However, the author claims the following: > This knowledge could be useful for security research and building developer tools that does not rely on Xcode or Apple’s proprietary tools. Yes it could be. But if you develo

They made C memory safe? This is a big thing to gloss over in a single paragraph. Does anyone have extra details on this? > On devices with iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 or later, Apple modified the C compiler toolchain used to build the iBoot bo

I find it interesting how in the essay Sanderson implies he doesn’t take issue with AI as a tool. You can use it to search in a more advanced way, or to summarise meeting minutes. He in essence claims there is some intangible attribute of a

Kagi has an optional AI summary users can trigger on demand, which feels a lot more useful than google’s - most of the time I want the actual websites, but sometimes I just want an overview of the top results which it’s really useful for

The vast majority of website-gate captchas are served by cloudflare these days. You can use the privacy pass [0] browser extension to skip them. Privacy passes are an open standard [1], so you can re-implement it yourself if you don’t trust
