I do this in a more crude fashion (like the article mentions) on the GPU in an old personal project. I just run a low-res (256x256) pre-pass and store the distances to a floating point texture. I then use that pre-pass texture as the starti

Whenever plugging a hole like this, the OS should kinda leave it “open” as a kind of honeypot and immediately show a warning to the user that some exploit was attempted. Granted, the malware will quickly adapt but you should at least give s

Wouldn't it make sense if the content of it could be auto-generated as well for the users' locale directly with no need for JS? Either as a date in the example "4 days ago" or "in 2 days, 2 hours and 28 seconds&quot

I think OpenStreeMap could benefit immensely from investing a bit in making self-hosted versions more approachable and on more platforms, especially now that vector-tiles are becoming increasingly used. I would love to quickly install a sma

With that, you have essentially turned the regular website content into a protocol (not intended for humans) and the LLM into the browser. That’s just… I don’t know what to feel about that. I’d rather keep the websites we visit for humans f

In Denmark you can. I was in my mid thirties when I went to my doctor to ask them to prescribe it. Before each shot I would go to the pharmacy and buy one dose and go to the doctor to have them administer it for me (if I wanted to). At that

To me the BIGGEST annoyance is the iOS “End call” button. Just as I’m about to tap it, the other person ends the call and what I’m actually tapping is some other person on my call list that it then immediately calls. Even if I end the call

I spent waaay too long trying to figure out why my CSS rule didn't work. It doesn't accept me to overwrite an already existing one. The rules did not specify this at all. It is not clear that the game wants me to find another ru

That is quite strange Chrome behavior. Seems to only update it's background position when the window size changes. Looks like a Chrome bug to me! Probably some optimization effort that went wrong. I'm quite sure that it worked bac
