A few corrections: • The company that launched a search tool for Hacker News in 2014 is called Algolia, not Agolia. • Algolia is not just another search tool, but Hacker News’s official one. It’s the tool you’re redirected to if you enter t

If you liked FF-Shrine, there are some active successor sites. Search for Sitting on Clouds (which is like FFShrine’s Galbadia Hotel) and SquidBoard (a forum).

If anyone’s curious about games like this, the Scribblenauts series also has games that allow you to type the name of an object and spawn it in with game-like properties. Scribblenauts is not LLM-based – its first game was released in 2009.

Cool idea for sure, but at this point, it’s more confusing than fun for a new player trying to learn the systems and goals of game. Some people have griefed the starting area by placing turrets that kill your character when you’re in range.

In history, why did scientists research gravity for so long? Were they too stupid to realize that they were obviously being pulled towards the ground? No. They hoped to learn about the details. Eventually they learned details that were not

While larger icons might be ideal, note that (according to those linked discussions) those icons also have associated keyboard shortcuts, which are displayed when you hover over each icon. If you memorized those shortcuts, you would no long

I like most of Djot’s simplifications, but its requirement to write nested lists with blank lines between every change in indentation is a dealbreaker for me: - Djot requires - writing nested lists - with blank lines in

Even if you don’t use p4merge, you can set Git’s merge.conflictStyle config to "diff3" or "zdiff3" ( https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config... ). If you do that, Git’s confl

Did you know that VS Code added support for the same four-pane view as p4merge years ago? I used p4merge as my merge tool for a long time, but I switched to VS Code when I discovered that, as VS Code’s syntax highlighting and text editing f

The whitepaper says that the benchmark counted accessibility problems using the tool axe-core ( https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core ). It’s too bad that neither the site nor the paper contains any examples of an LLM ou

The section “Utility Classes: Yes, They Still Exist” is unfair in its comparison of Tailwind with pure CSS. It doesn’t take into account Tailwind’s recommendation in https://tailwindcss.com/docs/styling-with-utility-cla

An excellent example of why dash length matters. Because of the wrong usage of ‘—’ and ‘-’, it took me 10 more seconds of rereading and re-parsing your comment to understand what that first sentence meant. I see what you did in the second p
