On: The Xkcd thing, now interactive

[PenguinRevolver]

I love that clicking the empty space and just doing nothing at all still causes the blocks to fall apart after some time.

[ASalazarMX → PenguinRevolver]

Since it's going to collapse anyway, it's fun to table flip everything using the botton block.

Turn on JS or check what's causing it to fail to load. It's a little JS physics toy of this XKCD comic. https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2347:_Dependency

[Sohcahtoa82 → tosti]

The whole "Disabling JavaScript and then pretending to not know why websites don't work and then acting holier-than-thou about it" shtick gets old.

You know sites will break. Could you just cut the bullshit with pretending to not understand broken websites?

[rtkwe → Sohcahtoa82]

Truly baffling, you're voluntarily disabling a critical piece of how websites expect to function and then act shocked when web sites don't cater to the >>0.0001% of users who decline to allow their site to work.

On: Antirender: remove the glossy shine on architectural renderings

[PenguinRevolver]

Wow. Umm, the "free generations" limit is running on a client-based honour system...

On: Scream cipher

[PenguinRevolver]

Oh god, now we're gonna have two different standards for a scream cypher https://xkcd.com/927/

On: Irrlicht Engine – a cross-platform realtime 3D engine

[PenguinRevolver]

Holy crap, I didn't know that they used that engine for that game. I thought they stopped using it after Octodad: DC.

On: Two Slice, a font that's only 2px tall

[PenguinRevolver]

Try reading "HiGh sky buys The lies" in the font. Pretty difficult to make out what it says...

[jibcage → PenguinRevolver]

I think most of what makes this font readable is the user using context to sort of guess at what the word could be.

If you start writing things that aren’t sentences normal people would use (or especially if you start mixing case) it doesn’t hold up. Still interesting for a “normal” use case though.

On: I Hacked McDonald's (Security Contact Was Harder to Find Than Secret Recipe)

[PenguinRevolver]

For future reference, look at what the same hacker posted a few hours ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44997145

On: Melonking Website

[PenguinRevolver]

A website that closes on Mondays? Stupid, stupid concept. As stupid as Steam's Tuesday Maintenance...

Fortunately, you can skip it very easily: https://melonking.net/melon

On: Congratulations on creating the one billionth repository on GitHub

[PenguinRevolver]

https://api.github.com/repositories/999999999

Which leads to https://github.com/sameepabadhuge/fork1

[SalariedSlave → PenguinRevolver]

So the count includes forks?

Would be interesting to know the billionth non-fork source repo.

[levocardia → PenguinRevolver]

>Repo 999999999: pushing forward the cutting edge of protein folding research

>Repo 1000000000: shit

[TZubiri → levocardia]

The duality of programming

[deadbabe → PenguinRevolver]

That repo is substantially more fascinating, and could have used the attention. What a shame. Who was the next repo, 1,000,000,001?

[KTibow → deadbabe]

It doesn't exist. Turns out GitHub has a lot of private and deleted repos.

(Then there's 1000000002, https://github.com/minseon-01/flaskapp, similar to 999999999 in that it's a fork)

[ihuman → deadbabe]

Right now it 404s. 1000000002 is https://github.com/minseon-01/flaskapp

On: Hyperspace

[PenguinRevolver]

Your source points out that:

< You can also create [APFS (copy on write) clones] in Terminal using the command `cp -c oldfilename newfilename` where the c option requires cloning rather than a regular copy.

`fclones dedupe` uses the same command[1]:

  if cfg!(target_os = "macos") {
      result.push(format!("cp -c {target} {link}"));

[CharlesW → PenguinRevolver]

I stand corrected, thank you!

On: Hyperspace

[PenguinRevolver]

  brew install fclones

Thanks for the recommendation! Just installed it via homebrew.
