vim-athena would automatically move your cursor towards the command buttons whenever it made a popup appear
i thought that was genius, until i upgraded to vim-motif, which would instead move the popup to where your mouse cursor is
There was a thread on it a few weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47040524
Though I don't know if you can count it as a "buried lede" if the first paragraph of the article is dedicated to it, with a big clickable banner, haha!
I feel like Nvidia Omniverse's main innovation is that they call themselves an 'industrial metaverse platform' even though their product is practically not much different from a game engine.
In the chart, it says 大海 (dàhǎi, lit. big sea) above "SEA", which means 'ocean'.
The easily replacable parts feature sounds like it'd work great in a university context. The uni's service desk could stock up on replacement parts and fix the phones right there instead of having to send it in for repairs.
Maktone is so good! I remember hearing one of their songs in a GBA intro[1] and it still gets stuck in my head sometimes...
I mean, to an extent... like it would still give passengers an earlier opportunity to correct course.
If they got off at the next stop after troisdorf they could take the local bus back to Troisdorf (ten minute wait worst-case).
At later stations they could get on the train in the opposite direction (30 min wait worst-case).
i'm a little bit sad the kernel diagram background is gone
That's upsetting. Being able to do templating without using JavaScript was a really cool party trick.
I've used it in an unfinished website where all data was stored in a single XML file and all markup was stored in a single XSLT file. A CGI one-liner then made path info available to XSLT, and routing (multiple pages) was achieved by doing string tests inside of the XSLT template.
I think that convention depends on the language, not the currency.
For example, in German it's usually written postfix, but in Dutch it's usually prefix.
this might be conspirational thinking, but i don't think it's an accident that the site came out like this. yes, there's moderation, but the moderators are explicitly told to go easy on moderating racism[1]. it feels like once that kind of stuff isn't punished, it starts to snowball a change in the attitudes of the site as a whole.
that's not to say stringent moderation doesn't make a site less welcoming, though. it's about choosing what's the lesser evil to you, i guess.

yes, definitely. if you don't check the schedule multiple times per day, you're bound to end up in an empty classroom or missing class. at least once a week, in my high school experience, a class gets moved in time and/or place, or gets cancelled entirely.
it's like train timetables, you know. yes, they're meant to be the same every day, but you'd be a fool not to check the updates before you go. that's just how it is in a large chaotic system.
A coworker once implemented a name validation regex that would reject his own name. It still mystifies me how much convincing it took to get him to make it less strict.
Perhaps some kind of rolling key system could've been used? If the key was rewritten on each successful login, either the attacker would have to use their cloned key immediately (alerting the user), or have their cloned key become useless the moment the user logs in again. This would only work with discoverable credentials, and would increase wear on the device's flash storage.
Same. I suspect they're all blocked in the EU to avoid having to comply with GDPR. It's archived here, though: https://archive.today/D0fQZ

Just gotta add a nice XSLT stylesheet to that feed.xml and people with only web browsers can also enjoy the blog.

Oh, they were just random hieroglyphs? I thought you made a tiny cartoon of a man flipping a table.
Can't wait to go to the store and buy a copy of GPT-7 on one of these
That sounds like https://justbeamit.com/. I don't know if it still works.
They may have read this article written by Near arguing that FPGA-based products are still (hardware-based) emulation: https://archive.is/fWosI
It's a well-written article, and presents a balanced view. Its stance is against the idea that FPGA-based emulation is always better than CPU-based emulation.
I'm not sure about a room with this, but I remember seeing a demo of this concept some years ago: https://youtu.be/1orUctibUow
The keyword is "redirected motion/walking".
Flickr sounds like "flikker", which translates to "fag" (as in, slur for gay man).
It's Apple's words, not the author's:
Products are considered vintage when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than 5 and less than 7 years ago.
~ https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201624
Products older than that are considered "obsolete".
I'm so impressed by the design of this PDF file. It's amazing that they put in so much effort to design what comes down to just an informational article.
That must be pretty outdated, because I'm on Firefox ESR and I have used the multi-line console editor and WebSocket inspector.
It stands for Delgium.
A rewrite in Scratch is in the early planning stages.
Could've made it a picture of a middle finger or whatever. Same message, but not at the risk of breaking obscenity law.
That's not to say that Goatse wasn't the correct option in this case.
Windows 10 came with an application to view 3D models in obj and other formats, but it's no longer included in Windows 11. You have to download it separately now (it's still free).
There's an add-on called BreezeWiki which redirects you to an annoyance-free mirror of Fandom sites, which makes it at least a little less annoying to visit those wikis. It can also redirect you to a community-run wiki if it exists.
I found it through Libredirect which is the same idea but for more sites, but some of the alternative sites don't work as well in my experience.
