Tell HN: Chrome says ”Suspicious Download” when trying to download yt-dlp
> Chrome itself is ”a tool to download files from Google’s servers.” …legitimately. While Google (I will reinforce: Google, not everyone) sees downloading of the videos and other content from the YouTube by third-party services as illegitimate because of YouTube’s ToS. After all, they’re making money from the YouTube Premium and ”Download” option provided by […]
GitHub Monaspace Case Study
The Monaspace superfamily contains five distinct typefaces, each with their own voice. Syntax highlighting, which in the past has relied on color and in some cases, bold or italics, now has an entirely separate dimension of emphasis to explore: typographic style. Our task was to satisfy all the constraints of making legible and successful monospace […]

The Claude Code Source Leak: fake tools, frustration regexes, undercover mode
I use Claude Code daily, so when Chaofan Shou noticed earlier today that Anthropic had shipped a .map file alongside their Claude Code npm package, one containing the full, readable source code of the CLI tool, I immediately wanted to look inside. The package has since been pulled, but not before the code was widely […]
Open source CAD in the browser (Solvespace)
EXPERIMENTAL WEB VERSION SolveSpace is developed primarily as normal desktop software. It’s compact enough that it runs surprisingly well when compiled with emscripten for the browser, though. There is some speed penalty and there are many remaining bugs, but with smaller models the experience is often highly usable. In keeping with the experimental status of […]
Combinators
A combinator is a function or operator that only refers to its arguments and operands without modifying them in any way. Additionally, some other primitives have combinator-like behavior: Footnotes Some combinators have bird names, originating from To Mock a Mockingbird by Raymond Smullyan. Some of the bird names are taken from the Uiua combinator page. […]
