Mind-boggling. A joke comes to my mind: A man tells his friend "You know, I don't think we can be friends anymore. Some money went missing from our house.." - "What?! Me? I'd never seal money from your house!"

Yes, and since multiple people expressed interest in Linux it might come much sooner than later. I kept macOS surface isolated and constrained on purpose (and also have my own rendering engine) so it should be rather easy to make it run on

I made an update, but I'll post also here in comments. It seems that either a human read it or it triggered some trigger, but my account has been reinstated. Thank you, also those who made this issue visible. On one side I'm happy

Lol. Haven't thought about that. Now I'll have to ponder shouldn't I add another domain to the mix.

My Show HN failed. Might resubmit some time later, but HN (in general) is a lucky draw. And also I figured that trying to sell a indie software might be a good idea for own business and HN can't help with getting enough potential custo

This is my driver since it become usable. I have 140 terminals on 2 workspaces. Grouped by project/task. I know, I'm the author, so I'm biased, but I love working using it.

I have aphantasia in both visual and audio forms. And I can tell you audio aphantasia is wild. I cannot hear a song in my head if my life depended on it but then there are triggers that extract it music it. Examples: "who let the dogs

More TUIs, and with eye candies too! :) Since I wrote my own terminal multiplexer that puts terminals on infinite zoomable canvas [0] and I just can't get enough of putting weird stuff like asciiquarium, cmatrix or tty-clock all around

I know that's a skill that I have, and I used it so many times it became effortless, but it all goes to one of jokes I like - that asks how do you eat an elephant. Easy - with a fork. So in that particular case I have a keyboard and it

2 anecdotes about Logitech software: I had a high-end webcam that flickered. There should be switch in the software to switch from 50hz to 60hz that'd fix it but it was nowhere to be found. After digging deeper I found that it was only

Try "Tiny Habits" by BJ Fogg. I found it quite interesting and I implemented few habits by using it. Though there's ADHD and other neurodivergent scenarios, and when you have it making anything of a habit is a hard work.

The burnout is a separate topic, and it was always difficult to balance in this specific industry. All these "Working in IT isn't stressful at all - John 25yo" memes didn't come come from nothing. But I wouldn't rea

Long long time ago people in tech were in tech because of the tech. Then, at some point, being in tech became a gilded profession and everyone: salesmen, artists, clerks etc. joined in. Not because they wanted to be in tech. They wanted gol

Ccn't say, though since Opus 5 I'm much more often staring at the wall of text and I have no idea what it's telling me. WTFs per prompt metric raised sharply for me :)

New models (especially Opus 5, released just last week) produces unintelligible output, so people are trying to fix it.

There's an interesting angle to BLIK vs Wero. While I believe QR codes are more convenient it is actually possible to give BLIK over the phone. Which means that youngsters (or fraudsters ;)) have access to their guardians' money o

There are so many peculiar things here, I - as not an US citizen - don't understand: If the border isn't "US soil" then what jurisdiction is it? How come American forces can seize goods if that's not US? What preven

Not all HN visitors are native English speakers and in some languages "it" doesn't construct well with verbs, thus thought frameworks forms through usage of him/her. Nothing more to see I suppose.
