GitHub Universe 2020 was the latest on the minds of open-source community Niti by GitHub with the dust around the YouTube-B-DL DCMA. An interesting discussion on maintaining open-source software projects It is worth watching. They focus on the challenges that UTB-DL care providers face in operating, and the impact of their efforts on the people and groups that depend on them. To illustrate this point, he featured a researcher with Human Mind Rights Watch who relied on YouTube-DL in his work, and made it very clear that all changes to the API would continue. Creating a role that constantly breaks open source tools like UTB-DL. Defender, which is very important.
Speaking of GitHub, here’s a scary and exciting new tool: Depix, Password de-pixelizer. Developer Sipke Melema noticed that his company often used pixelization to obscure passwords in documents, and wondered if he could reverse the process.

For anyone who has ever seen a Pixar movie and wondered how all this animation really works, here it is. A great lesson in making art with mathematics. The video is of Ainigo Coilez and looks at the presentation issues using remarking SDFs, or signed distance functions. At first, it seemed like it was going to happen a little bit Drawing an owlBut his math details are included and how each element of the animation is another formula is fascinating. What else is there A real-time rendering tool Where you can inspect and edit the code. Alas, my changes not only made things worse, but it was fun and instructive to play. Watch the video after the break!
