Ahem. Clearly my math knowledge failing me here. Apologies, and thanks for clearing it up :)

Hm, perhaps, but I am confused now. In the article, you're comparing log_a x < log_b x, but now you're comparing log_a x > log_b x in your comment. To make it clear, I am running this code: https://bpa.st/ZCKA

Which prints, for LuaJIT: true true false

And for Lua 5.5: true false false

I've tested this with both LuaJIT and Lua 5.5. It appears to only affect LuaJIT. Worth mentioning in the article I'd say.

Firefox has added highlighting of search terms in the page's scroll bar quite a few versions ago, if you want to give it another spin for that.

Give it another try. I switched to Linux in 2022 and have been using fb2k via Wine all this time, and it runs perfectly.

The data URI you're using has no MIME type, and even then the data is still an invalid PNG image. Not sure why the Stack Overflow answer is suggesting that.

It feels like I am seeing more and more websites lately that have a favicon that is deliberately broken, and I'm not sure why this appears to be a thing that is somehow gaining traction.

I'm missing WezTerm from that comparison image/slide posted in the article. Been using WezTerm for almost two years now I think, and I could not be happier. Best terminal emulator hands down.

Oh heck, Miraheze spotted in the wild. Thank you for the work you do, it's invaluable.

Should not be too bad. The two are different enough that you can add some sort of context to your search terms, like searching for "tenno markdown".

Tenno is the name of the faction in the video game Warframe the player characters are comprised of. Just want to point that out.

I was indeed wondering. Thank you.

I really didn't expect anything Rust behind this title.

Could've called it Quokka.

The PDF comes with an English version, too. It's on pages 3 and 4 :)

A blog post about bad UX that has a video element with controls hidden and autoplay. With autoplay disabled, it can take a while to figure out this thing is a video that just isn't playing...

Ennea — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 09:11:39 +0000

I have not yet tried Rye, but the installation guide shows me that it's yet another (seemingly new, too) tool that creates yet another folder in the user's home directory (as opposed to ~/.config or ~/.local/share). Why?

Probably not. These settings have been around for a long time already anyway, and they never get overwritten once set, at least in my experience.

My first thought upon reading Nuitka's name in the article was along the lines of "I hope they've contributed some of this to Nuitka". Not a very nice trend.

Does not appear to work properly in Firefox.
