Reading these replies and you'd think HN'ers have no fun (or feelings) at all. The movie is funny, clever, clean (good for families/kids), emotional, and has important lessons and metacommentary that adults will enjoy. Not to

I see a lot of these geared toward pro/tech users, but fewer aimed at ordinary people.

Cool, I've been working on this exact thing for me and my family for a while now and Meta just ... went and did it. I guess I'll focus mine more on the things Meta doesn't care about, like privacy and control.

eInk is like a piece of paper, which gets MORE visible in the sun, but standard touchscreen LCDs/OLEDs get harder to see. I am not sure about the physics/reasons for this. Phones also aggressively dim screens to conserve energy an

Thanks; not yet unfortunately, I have been too busy to set up a mailing list, but that's a good idea. The video preview I linked to only shows the rich maps and instrument modes. There's also a wireframe map view that is higher-co

This is great, I just saw your post on X. I'm also building a bike computer! eInk is the right display tech. I think this will do really well. It might need a UV filter. That said, I don't love needing a separate device (hence, I

For Caddy we chose JSON because it's fairly universal, maps nearly 1:1 with Go structs (useful for initializing an extensible server), and nearly everything else compiles to JSON one way or another, so you can choose your own config fo

Ah neat, my daughter likes to do this too, with Rolife. I let her borrow our camera with our 105mm macro lens to take artsy shots of her builds, and it was a fun learning and creative experience together. Highly recommend. Also, dust and ha

"Be ambitious enough to be an ambitious dad." - agreed! Being an ambitious dad IS exhausting. And the successful people telling you that you can't be a present, ambitious dad and be successful -- that you have to trade succes

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. Sure. I'm not sure if I will actually publish this thing, but I can show you: https://x.com/mholt6/status/2074986102428139754 I wanted a phone app rather than yet another

Of the 3 models I tried, Grok did the best at making an iOS app I wanted for personal use (a bike computer with specific qualities). (Claude just gave up and did an HTML/CSS implementation but I insisted on native SwiftUI+Metal.) Grok

Too many servers ignore/drop/reject body in GET requests. RFC 9110 does allow it, but is only recommended if server documentation states that it is supported.

Is it normal to load ALL the propellant when doing a static fire? (I presume that's the case, anyway, given the sheer magnitude of the kaboom.) I know a WDR typically would, but I don't think they perform an ignition for those.

First I've heard of this. Lazyweb, why would I use this over sync.Once?

We get it. We should probably take a break on these. It's probably more newsworthy now when GitHub is "up".

Using profanity indicates a weak vocabulary. A lack of discipline. A degree of unrefinement unbecoming of astronauts representing the "best" of humanity and their country. Depending on the type of profanity it can divide societies

Even better IMO is this status page: https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ "The Missing GitHub Status Page" with overall aggregate percentages. Currently at 90.84% over the last 90 days. It was at 90.00% a

Yeah but if you need Internet failover, cell phone towers are likely flooded. Starlink will be much more available (probably).

And yet, try getting a full backup of your Google phone onto your own computer. (Without rooting/wiping the whole thing.) Heck, try getting just your text messages off (without a separate app)! You can't. (Last time I checked.) Th

tbf that's Apple's fault, not the choice of the free, unpaid open source developer.

I never loved the idea of GSB or centralized blocklists in general due to the consequences of being wrong, or the implications for censorship. So for my masters' thesis about 6-7 years ago now (sheesh) I proposed some alternative, priv

But does it automatically provision the DNS records and rotate the keys? I'm actually kind of furious at nginx's marketing materials around ECH. They compare with other servers but completely ignore Caddy, saying that they're

Thanks for sharing this, we like it a lot. Mohammed Al-Sahaf implemented this for us so that releases can be made by a quorum of maintainers rather than being blocked by me every time. Here's the first release done with it: https:&#x2

That is one beautiful instrument. What does the front look like? And I know we can't hear it in its "original glory" anymore, but is the sample only like 10 seconds long because it's proprietary, or is the cello too deli

If you look at the R1 pages, you'll see those pages, though scroll-heavy, at least contain more useful info. I'm hoping that after R2 is actually available to order, that they'll update the page with more information. It&#x27

We can of course host our code elsewhere, the problem is the community is kind of locked-in. It would be very "expensive" to move, and would have to be very worthwhile. So far the math doesn't support that kind of change. Usu
