Show HN: Tetris in a PDF
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris.

It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation “fields” works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box.

All in all it’s quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The lin … ⌘ Read more

Show HN: Tramway SDK – An unholy union between Half-Life and Morrowind engines
Hello everyone, I would like to see if there is any interest in this little project that I have been working on for the past few years.

Could be relevant, seeing the direction in which the mainstream game engines are going.

I didn’t really like any of the already existing options, so I tried to make my own and it turned out to be easier than expected.

It’s sort of like a low-budget Unreal/Source, but with open-world streaming support and it is … ⌘ Read more

Top Ten Ways to Become a Zombie

10 Popular but Terrible Goalkeepers
Football (soccer in America) is undeniably the world’s most popular sport, celebrated across continents from South America to the Middle East. While the beautiful game originated in England, its universal appeal lies in the thrill of teamwork and the excitement of scoring goals. Key to this drama are goalkeepers, the last line of defense, whose […]

** Bouncing off of books **
After playing a few hours in Fields of Mistria I decided to put it down for a bit. I’m really really enjoying it.

All in all it’s a supremely, deliciously, snackable game. If I had to level critique against it, it’d be that the day/nigh … ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net Wikipedia claims sha1 is vulnerable to a “chosen-prefix attack”, which I gather means I can write any two twts I like, and then cause them to have the exact same sha1 hash by appending something. I guess a twt ending in random junk might look suspcious, but perhaps the junk could be worked into an image URL like

git only uses sha1 because they’re stuck with it: migrating is very hard. There was an effort to move git to sha256 but I don’t know its status. I think there is progress being made with Game Of Trees, a git clone that uses the same on-disk format.

I can’t imagine any benefit to using sha1, except that maybe some very old software might support sha1 but not sha256.

Interesting.. QUIC isn’t very quick over fast internet.

QUIC is expected to be a game-changer in improving web application performance. In this paper, we conduct a systematic examination of QUIC’s performance over high-speed networks. We find that over fast Internet, the UDP+QUIC+HTTP/3 stack suffers a data rate reduction of up to 45.2% compared to the TCP+TLS+HTTP/2 counterpart. Moreover, the performance gap between QUIC and HTTP/2 grows as the underlying bandwidth increases. We observe this issue on lightweight data transfer clients and major web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera), on different hosts (desktop, mobile), and over diverse networks (wired broadband, cellular). It affects not only file transfers, but also various applications such as video streaming (up to 9.8% video bitrate reduction) and web browsing. Through rigorous packet trace analysis and kernel- and user-space profiling, we identify the root cause to be high receiver-side processing overhead, in particular, excessive data packets and QUIC’s user-space ACKs. We make concrete recommendations for mitigating the observed performance issues.

游戏《上古卷轴5》称得上为「神作」吗？
在2011年11月11日这个整整齐齐的日子里，旗下单人RPG《上古卷轴III：晨风》、《上古卷轴IV：湮灭》和《辐射3》连续三作蝉联年度游戏桂冠的Bethesda Game Studios推出了一款至今仍在各个“史上最伟大电子游戏”列表中不断抛头露面的《上古卷轴V：天际》。

本来看着库存里Skybound目录下的6款游戏一个都没玩，就在大作间隔期试试5款《行尸走肉》系列之外的独立游戏，结果一试就喜欢上了。这是我在PC上试过的第一个需要摄像头玩的游戏，会全程监测你眨眼。我在手机和游戏机上见过用摄像头监测玩家动作并捕捉的技术，但集中于眼睛的还是头一次见。除了需要鼠标移动视角外，全程不需要按键盘，只需眨眼和偶尔闭眼即可。游戏不需要移动，画面周围有大片的黑色遮挡来使场景集中，动画并不精致，但音乐和配音非常棒。
