It was a light, cleanly designed front end to YT's content.

Thanks a lot for the link, I didn't know it was open source.

EssentialYouTube.com is gone

koytch — Fri, 30 Jun 2017 21:07:15 +0000

A year or so ago I learned about essentialyoutube.com here on HN. Since then it's been my default go-to for music in the office, period.

Whoever you are, dear EYT developer, please bring it back. I guess it costs you money. Maybe add a donate button? Or was it just a side project for which you no longer have time?

I'd go for "apply'd", "craft'd" and so on -- it has a vibrant applicant-of-sharp-tools-ian ring to it. Admirations for your honour's worthy labour.

I'm stuck in a strange loop: videos change, but the music doesn't. I think it's Debussy, the effect is very strange (and nice too). Bug or not? :)

Oh, and the small button below has disappeared.

This is so wrong… Did they use old-style figures, too? That's the only way I can imagine it might have looked OK.

Where are the '1' and '0' on the Bar-Lock? Or did hackers of that time do direct I/O?

Sections 2 and 3 contain the most readable man pages out there. The pages in sections 1 and 8 are often terrible, being the result of some texinfo->man filter.

Thanks, c2 has become intolerably slow.

New comment by koytch in "ZMODEM"

koytch — Sun, 23 Oct 2016 22:48:23 +0000

Zmodem's code is uglier than Kermit's IMO. Gods help you if you have to read either, but Kermit is written better and EK is almost understandable once you fold all unneeded #define's.

I'm surprised no-one mentioned the venerable UUCP. It has more variants than X/Y/Zmodem combined: at least 12.

The only upside of this is unbrickability. Having the boot ROM inside the CPU means you are stuck forever with whatever bugs there are in it. Been there.

koytch — Sun, 25 Sep 2016 15:17:23 +0000

Effing hilarious. Some years ago I spent a few days writing to a 'Russian bride'. It became instantly clear all replies were scripted, there was no connection at all with what I said (The full text of 'I, Robot'? Oh, what interesting things you do…). So I'd say many if not most of the spam scenarios are automated and the whole thing becomes too meta.

You can bruteforce unsalted hashes by using rainbow tables.

> When you starve to death, would you say you weren't killed?

Being dead, he likely wouldn't.

Moral and logic (in the narrowest sense of the word) often don't go hand in hand. That having been said, your point is quite close to my own understanding.

Multiprocessor AVR running Linux would be the next step, definitely.

You may be right, but as I get it, the entire American population gets to drink fluoridated tap water, not only children. A stinking Commie plot, if I ever saw one.

koytch — Thu, 15 Sep 2016 22:00:48 +0000

As a guy living in Europe, it seems more logical to drink unfluoridated water and use fluoridated toothpaste, but that's America over there… Cool idea, for sure.

Strange to see reddit and stackoverflow not supporting IPv6.
