    TikTok's owner ByteDance has signed a deal creating a U.S.-focused joint venture majority-owned by American and global investors, allowing the app to avoid a U.S. ban while ByteDance retains a minority stake. The BBC reports: Half of the joint venture will be owned by a group of investors including Oracle, Silver Lake and the Emirati investment firm MGX, according to a memo sent by chief executive Shou Zi Chew. The deal, which is set to close on January 22, would end years of efforts by Washington to force ByteDance to sell its US operations over national security concerns. It is in-line with a deal unveiled in September, when US President Donald Trump delayed the enforcement of a law that would ban the app unless it was sold. TikTok said in the memo that ...

  • YouTuber's Livestream Appears On White House Website
    The White House says it's investigating how a personal-finance YouTuber's livestream briefly appeared on the White House's official live video page. The creator says he has no idea how his video ended up there. The Associated Press reports: The livestream appeared for at least eight minutes late Thursday on whitehouse.gov/live, where the White House usually streams live video of the president speaking. It's unclear if the website was breached or the video was linked accidentally by someone in the government. The White House said in a statement that it was "aware and looking into what happened." The video that appeared on the government-run website featured some of a more than two-hour livestream from Matt Farley, who posts as @RealMattMoney, as he answered f ...

  • Riot Games Is Making an Anti-Cheat Change That Could Be Rough On Older PCs
    An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: At this point, most competitive online multiplayer games on the PC come with some kind of kernel-level anti-cheat software. As we've written before, this is software that runs with more elevated privileges than most other apps and games you run on your PC, allowing it to load in earlier and detect advanced methods of cheating. More recently, anti-cheat software has started to require more Windows security features like Secure Boot, a TPM 2.0 module, and virtualization-based memory integrity protection. Riot Games, best known for titles like Valorant and League of Legends and the Vanguard anti-cheat software, has often been one of the earliest to implement new anti-cheat requirements. There's already a lo ...

    I originally posted this in r/scams, but the responses I was getting were mainly from Americans and I'm pretty sure our Interac e-transfers are different from their apps like Venmo and Zelle. Someone I don't know sent me 2 e-transfers for the same amount of money ($120 each). They later sent me an email, with a bit of a sob story, asking me to send the money back. This sob story email came from a very strange email address with lots of weird characters. Inside the body of that email they gave me another address they want me to send the money to. It has similarities to my email address, but it's not just 1 character off or anything. I later got an Interac money request from the original email address, requesting the $240 back. I called my bank and they said ...

    I never thought I would share this, but here I am. I was writing a lot of code, a bunch of scripts, i.e small files, to do stuff. I hated VS Code, after getting acquainted with vim, and i hated vim after getting cozy with neovim. But then, the diminishing returns started to plateau. Neovim is fun, but it's too much to work with sometimes. VS Code is too heavy to work on small files, i.e open it close it open it close it again bla bla. In all this, another option grew appealing to me, the nano text editor. That's when I decided to write something between nano and neovim. All I wanted from neovim was the ability to register shortcuts and support for plugins. Therefore, I tried to merge the best of both worlds by making an editor that is pleasant to work with. ...

  • Modeling Large Codebases as Static Knowledge Graphs: Design Trade-offs
    When working with large codebases, structural information such as module boundaries, dependency relationships, and hierarchy is often implicit and hard to reason about. One approach I’ve been exploring is representing codebases as static knowledge graphs, where files, modules, and symbols become explicit nodes, and architectural relationships are encoded as edges. This raises several design questions: - What information is best captured statically versus dynamically? - How detailed should graph nodes and edges be? - Where do static representations break down compared to runtime analysis? - How can such graphs remain maintainable as the code evolves? I’m interested in hearing from people who have worked on: - Static analysis tools - Code indexing systems - La ...

  • Showoff Saturday: I built a Daltonization engine in pure JS (Manifest V3) that preserves text contrast
    I’ve spent the last few months building Odilon, a browser extension for color blindness correction. The Problem: Most CVD (Color Vision Deficiency) tools use a global SVG filter over the entire <body>. This works for images, but it ruins contrast by "correcting" black text into muddy browns or blues, making the web hard to read. The Solution (Semantic Segregation): I built a content script that injects specific SVG filters only into visual nodes (img, video, canvas, [role="img"]), leaving text nodes untouched. The Tech Stack / Challenges: Manifest V3: No external scripts. Everything is vanilla JS injected at document_start. The "CNN" Glitch: We ran into major compositing issues on sites with aggressive lazy-loading ...

  • Scale now or stay solo? Making ~$10k/month as a dev freelancer and unsure what to do
    I’d like some honest input from people who’ve been in a similar situation. Right now I have a solid operation bringing in European clients for dev freelance work. Clients are not the problem — I am the bottleneck. I intentionally work solo. I take at most 4–5 projects per month, always one at a time, to avoid overload and to keep quality high. With that setup, I make around ~$10k/month, very low expenses, no employees, no stress. My personal life is stable and I spend far less than I earn. The thing is: many devs tell me I’m “leaving money on the table”, suggesting I should scale, build a team, focus on ads and client acquisition, and make a lot more. But being honest: • I don’t feel financial pressure • no one depends on me financially • I don’t need to gro ...

We’re close to publishing it and the waitlist is now open for anyone who wants early access or wants to follow along as we ship. submitted by /u/kr1ftkr4ft [link] [comments] ...

  • Little website I made for my photography work
    It's small right now, but I have bigger dreams for it. Would appreciate any suggestions or recommendations. I built it using pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. submitted by /u/ewgooey [link] [comments]

  • Adding sound effects that match animations & interactions really tied my portfolio site together
    It’s hard to be a memorable website these days, but after adding sound effects it really feels hard to forget the experience. sound off is unbearable to me anymore lol, but what do you think? sound effects good or bad on a portfolio site meant for professional review? and do you like the auto-on effect on the Initialize button click, or is that too much? p.s. mostly meant for Desktop, works decent on mobile but not nearly the same experience submitted by /u/DRONE_SIC [link] [comments] ...

  • Keep scrolling to view content!

    The loading of this feed has been deferred to save bandwidth.

  • Don't worry, this is on purpose! Promise!

  • At least, it should load... Click here to force the load.

    (For the feeds to actually load, the top of "The Atlantic" feed must reach the top of the browser and you must have a browser width of at least 890px. If your browser is too tall, and the bottom of the browser reaches the bottom of the page before the top reaches the top bound of the browser, the feeds will not load.)

About all this

  • What's this page about?
  • This is a basic start page for my own personal use. Search, random links, lots of rss feeds all aggregated into one.
  • This looks awfully like Popurls!
  • As it should. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and this case is no different. I am not trying to reinvent the wheel, nor taking credit for anything which I do not have due.
  • Then why?
  • This was all an excerscise to further flex my knowledge and tinker with something new.
  • What was flexed?
  • Attempts were made at making a site which thought a bit about usability (although, probably an overload of information at this point) while being fully W3C valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, CSS which is W3C valid (except the hack used in the YUI Reset!), JQuery to drive the fancy stuff, and Python behind the scenes. At least... that was the goal.
  • The page uses skeleton.css along with media queries to give different viewing experiences for wide browsers("desktop")vs small viewing areas ("mobile"). Media queries were selected so one could easily jump between different modes. Some javascript has exceptions to not or to trigger when viewed on "mobile" browsers.
