Hack all the things - Toniebox 17. Jun 2025 Continuing my Hack all the things series, I’m doing something slightly different today. So far I’ve hacked my PS Vita and Nintendo 3DS, but this time I want to talk about my Toniebox. Or rather…my kids’ Toniebox.

What My Mother Didn't Talk About (2020)

news.ycombinator.com Karolina Waclawiak 2026-02-22 04:43:23

We did not visit Poland often. Only when someone died. I have not been able to bring part of my mother’s ashes to Poland yet because of the pandemic. They sit in my living room, waiting to join my other dead relatives in her village of Bedoń. I live in California, 3,000 miles away from where I grew up, and when my mother couldn’t sleep she’d call me. I always picked up. “I think I know how I got sick,” she said once. My mother had an aversion to being sick and to anyone knowing about it. Her

Speeding up my ZSH shell

Super quick one I want to document here! I got myself on a side quest, again! No biggie, my ZSH shell was taking ages to load. When I say ages, more like 5+ seconds every time I opened a new terminal, that sort of thing can add up. This is just something I’ve lived with over the years, nothing has prompted this other than me wondering why it’s slow, then searching for how to profile it. So, what’s actually slowing things down? Zsh comes with this super handy profiling tool called zprof . Here’s

FFmpeg devs boast of another 100x leap thanks to handwritten assembly code

news.ycombinator.com Mark Tyson 2026-02-25 17:51:41

The developers behind the FFmpeg project are again claiming major performance uplifts delivered by wielding the art of handwritten assembly code. With the latest patch applied, users should see a “100x speedup” in the cross-platform open-source media transcoding application. However, the developers were soon to clarify that the 100x claim applies to just a single function, “not the whole of FFmpeg.” BREAKING: FFmpeg 100x speedup from handwritten assembly13:55:30 <•haasn> rangedetect8_avx512: 12

Simulating Hand-Drawn Motion with SVG Filters

Published on July 09, 2025 Ever wondered how cartoons create that hand-drawn “jitter” effect? I recently watched an ARTE documentary about Neapolitan pizza and was fascinated by the animated illustrations (drawn in simple shapes and plain colors) that accompanied the segment where the recipe and its ingredients were presented. The illustrations were static, but they had a subtle animation effect that made them look like they were moving slightly. See for example in this short clip, where you c

New colors without shooting lasers into your eyes

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-21 22:01:17

1. Your eyes sense color. They do this because you have three different kinds of cone cells on your retinas, which are sensitive to different wavelengths of light. For whatever reason, evolution decided those wavelengths should be overlapping. For example, M cones are most sensitive to 535 nm light, while L cones are most sensitive to 560 nm light. But M cones are still stimulated quite a lot by 560 nm light—around 80% of maximum. This means you never (normally) get to experience having just o
