A CDN for this? Sorry, but just store the fonts on the same d**n server you're serving the site from. Files are tiny, it's not 1080p video we're talking.
And free travel, free security, aides to delegate many tasks to, etc.
I abhor politics, but I wouldn’t mind being a PM for maybe a week, just to have the feeling of everything around you well taken care of, thereby giving you the freedom to focus solely on your job.
Surprised it's even that high, I tried to switch to Firefox the other month for privacy but gave up because it crashed on me it-least once a day.
Edit: thanks for the downvotes, I would have preferred if it worked but it didn't. I tried basic troubleshooting, disabling extensions etc. but didn't find it usable on macOs Monterey, think it doesn't play well with youtube.
Probably you were downvoted because your comment took the thread on a generic tangent - indeed into one of the most-trodden areas on HN. Generic tangents are easy to fall into (of course) but make threads less interesting, which is why the site guidelines ask people to avoid them. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Unpredictable/whimsical/curious tangents are still ok. Just not the predictable ones.
I used it for a similar time if not longer and I think it crashed < 10 times. In the last years it was mostly just single tabs failing and probably was just another website with some endless js loop anyway.
Extremely stable compared to almost any other software. Perhaps the parent means the mobile version. If not I would expect something is wrong with the system, even if visiting the worst pages of the internet.
I have also used Firefox for a similar time and although I can't say it has never crashed for me, it has at least proven to be a bit more stable than my experience with Chrome.
I switched to ff a month or two ago for the integrated tree-style tabs extension that you can't get on chromium-based browsers
I didn't really have any huge problem with firefox specifically, but Brave just feels a bit slicker, the adblocker is in-built and stronger, and it manages multiple windows better, so I've slowly switched back to brave for general use, and use ff for work and projects
Not to poop on the big screen party, but from an ergonomic standpoint that does not look like a great idea[1]. Such a big screen at that distance will likely make your head tilt back slightly and your eyes look up and may wreak havoc on your neck and eyes.
I’ve been using a 43” display for 2-3 years, and a 2x2 quad setup before that. The single 43” display is better for ergonomics than the quad setup and I haven’t had an issue. Most of what I actively work on is at eye level, while the stuff up high are mostly things I just need to quickly glance at or use for 20 seconds here and there. If I need to interact with it more, I just drag it down to the middle of the screen. I don’t even think about it really.
Google Translate code is present on many web sites to provide automatic translations of text. Could your translate code be uploaded to a server and embedded in web page to provide the same functionality?
I'm not aware of any actively maintained projects that give you this out of the box, but these two could be starting points for such a project.
Mozilla implemented a REST service based on (an earlier version of) bergamot-translator [1]. You could use that as a replacement for the WASM component in the addon's code.
I also know of some full-page translation demo code that uses the python bindings of bergamot-translator [2]. That's basically a web proxy a la Goole Translate.
Lastly, marian, the translation software that's being used, has a web server as well [3]. It does not support HTML though.
EDIT: see also my earlier comment for using it with Node or Python [4], which you could use to implement a simple web API.
Sure, like I mentioned in the article, you can embed the engine and the models in any web page to be run in a browser with proper WebAssembly and SIMD support.
You can have an example on how we did here [1] and test it here (I recommend using Firefox) [2]
That way you don't need a server and everything is processed in the browser, so no need of google translate, or any cloud service to have translations embedded in any website anymore.
The worst part is that this is what many end-users want. We every so often get some strong pushback on the KMK (mechanical keyboard) Firmware project over my admittedly-dogmatic insistence on using Matrix (and otherwise trying to move further towards the Free Software Needs Free Tools [1] ideal world). Roughly paraphrased, "Well relatively few people have a Matrix account but a ton of folks are already on Discord, why do you make the Matrix only officially supported platform and have a flakey-and-maybe-five-8s-uptime bridge to Discord as an olive branch?" Because it's a GPL project with no corporate backing and no need to add dependence on another corporate tool (using GitHub for VCS and CI was, IMO with retrospect, a mistake too).
I've personally started taking a "if your project only offers me Slack and Discord as first-class avenues to get help, I consider it unsupported" stance on FOSS projects lately. It's bad enough that I have to use Slack for work and will never really have a say in that, don't make me also use it for my hobbies.
Maybe spending my adolescence in the era of IRC, of numerous IM protocols all accessible via libpurple+Pidgin/Adium, and of somewhat-open XMPP federation spoiled me. I clearly wasn't meant for this hyper-corporate modern flavor of the internet.
The interface of the popular matrix clients like Element is pretty good, certainly better than IRC, but a step down from Discord imo. I’ve submitted multiple bug reports for really basic stuff, like editing a message with a link in it (at the time the message could only be edited up until the link).
I’m sure it’s improved now but I don’t blame people for going to discord. If we want people to want to use open source software it would be nice if it was at least as good as commercial software
The great thing about Matrix over Discord is that you have the option of using or building a client that better suits your needs. With Discord, I'm stuck with the myriad of UX decisions they've made that I disagree with, unless I want to risk a ToS ban for self-botting (Ripcord, which I do generally enjoy).
> A lot of cameras will list maximum time before shutting off as 29 minutes, 59 seconds. This isn't neccessarily because of overheating issues but (I think) to avoid falling on the wrong side of some tax/duty differences between camcorders and stills cameras.
That's for recording to memory card, not for the HDMI feed.
If you chuck Varnish in front of it, does it matter what you use?
Edit: was being serious: if your data is that static you can statically generate it. But I get that CMS is convenient so with that caching is where you get the performance win. A blog post either never updates or gets 1 or 2 edits max.
