Nice!

What I want are precise and tight bounding boxes. Why is this so difficult?

Curious about background removal with BiRefNet. Would you consider it the best model currently available? What other options exist that are popular but not as good?

Love the vibe!

The problem is that most sites implement dark mode wrong with too much contrast. It doesn’t work if you make it “black”. It’s more about dimming the lights.

Reading dark pages will never be as good as reading in a well lit room. But there are ways to make it work.

This. Thanks for illustrating how little is required for a basic dark mode support.

It depends on the environment. Of course, reading HN in a dark room will never be pleasant. But looking into a bright white flashlight can really hurt. Good dark modes are not simply black/white but make use of the right font weight and color to reduce glare.

And soon even your oven will require an account with subscription so that the built-in camera can notify you when the bread is browning and it asks for permission to lower the temperature

I enjoyed reading the article and found it interesting. Had no prior interest in the topic but it was an entertaining read. Last time I used binary and calculated with it was in high school. Didn’t know about UNIX signals and now I understand how processes are terminating.

This is quite genius. Instead of wasting time with responsive design, grid and flex layout complexities, this solutions gets the job done.

That’s how I would have approached it in Flash back in the days when 800x600 was all you had to worry about.

I find it amusing, yet sad, that some here expect a podcast to exclusively be a source of information where every second delivers bite sized facts. What about entertainment? What about engaging with a topic for hours and eventually learn something that‘s not a fact, but a new perspective?

This is entertaining. I learned Turbo Pascal in high school.

What I like from watching it again: the aspect of structured programming.

It’s quite refreshing to see a language that doesn’t rely so much on brackets.

It even got away without syntax highlighting by using all uppercase REPEAT, BEGIN, END or capitalising function calls.

Thanks for sharing!

Ah, I can imagine why the illustration weren’t as clear. Especially if you don’t speak German it might be difficult to catch mistakes. I added new examples.

But as you mention: starting by observing one’s own habits and preferences and then coming up with small instructions is all it takes. Feels like piping in Unix where each process is a prompt.

Peanuts if you build a business on top of the SDK.
