If you spend time in IndieWeb discussion circles, such as chat.indieweb.org or the get-togethers listed on events.indieweb.org, or if you spend time wandering through the indieweb.org wiki, you will find evidence that many of us share the v

Epic is still a heavy user of that language at the lower parts of its stack, but there are other, friendlier/more modern languages in pretty widespread use too. Depends on the team & sub-application.

Ayyyy, my day job is on HN. The campus is indeed cool, and I like working here (though I haven't been here nearly as long as some people!) If anyone's interested in Epic and wants one employee's opinion, my email's in my

It seems that much like Aider, you use separate models for creating code edits and validating them. That's a win in my book. It seems Claude Code does not do that, which is part of the reason it racks up a (relatively) large bill for l

That's sweet! I think LLMs have incredible potential for descriptions and for NPC behavior, and I really like that you have this bridge between freeform intent and a rules engine. I'd like to pick your brain about it - I'll s

I feel the same way about Tailspire as I feel about pretty much every other VTT. They might do okay, even pretty well, at combat maps and/or character sheets, but I want is the whole game world in the computer. Maps are just a fracti

That's really cool, Elias. I keep seeing people try to put LLMs into the role of the GM. But I think you're doing something new and important by working to have the rules available to it. Is your project available anywhere? Best o

My master's thesis[1] was half research, half dev project, exploring how we can continue to fully fuse traditional RPGs with computers. This goal is my life quest, my life's work. I think virtual tabletops (VTTs) as they currently

You just got a signup :) Free plan, I'll admit. I don't need or want anything other than email notifications, and the free plan for that is very generous. Thanks for building this.

I've had tremendous trouble trying to get my iPhone SE to show up as a USB device. Never did figure it out, but the macOS app iMazing has served me well as a workaround.

Ahh, these are beautiful. Thanks 'merothwell for linking. I was in Monument Valley for the first time ever this year; if you like these photos, try and pay it a visit. You won't be disappointed.

VWWHFSfQ, you may already know this, but: I recommend this talk by Armin Ronacher (Flask creator) on how Python's implementation internals contribute to the difficulties of making Python faster. https://www.youtube.com/

Thanks for the trivia! I love Frontalot, and this is probably my favorite song by him.

That concept of "strange consistency" reminds me of my experience writing Clojure, for some reason.

This is what all technical tutorials should look like. Well-composed and generally free of grammatical errors, spends just the right amount of time explaining each new topic as it is introduced, comes with full code samples, and includes vi

I love the addition of the infinite domino machine that has nothing to do with ball transport.

I've made more than one friend on Hacker News, one of whom I've met in person. Encouraging that to happen, by way of an app, is a great idea. Every project has bugs at first, but I see you're dealing with them as they pop up.

I used to use Beancount religiously (before some job and health difficulties left me less capable of tracking my finances as closely.) My biggest complaint was always that I didn't have something like autocomplete/syntax highlight

Seconded. I am also keenly interested in learning more. It would be a great boon on my current project to be able to let the AI refactor mountains of legacy code (while taking steps to ensure the results are trustworthy and equivalent, of c
