Full stack developer, recently built a library for the web to sync vibration motor of a phone to any audio or video with just 2 lines of code, fully algorithmic, easy to customize and use

AdityaAnuragi··on The PSP feels surprisingly present right now
That's a valid point ngl

But there's something quite nostalgic about holding the console you had as a kid and going down a good old happy memory lane

AdityaAnuragi··on Show HN: TikTok but for Scientific Papers
Didn't expect to see TikTok and scientific papers in the same sentence but it's somehow interesting
AdityaAnuragi··on I returned to AWS, and was reminded why I left
I agree, I'm starting to like cloudflare increasingly aswell

Here are a couple reasons of mine (PS I'm still a little new)

1) V8 isolates for serverless functions to address cold start problems, sure the entire node env ain't there but libraries like Hono are designed to work in that env... Combine that with their near immediate start-up - simple lovely

2) UI, AWS to me feels soulless, like if there's an entire industry to make AWS UI not suck it's obvious their UI is just bad, upto the point where people pay a premium for a good UI. Cloudflare UI is so much nicer, atleast to me

I recently developed a library and for that I made a landing page and documentation with Astro (no server just static stuff), and I was checking out how to deploy this and Vercel and Cloudflare, Vercel had a 100Gb/ month of bandwidth free which is nice, what's even nicer is cloudflare has infinite (practical infinite not the theoretical infinite ofcourse)

And once again, that's just lovely to work with!

AdityaAnuragi··on Zed Editor Theme-Builder
Definitely a step in the right direction, always felt like new editors like Fleet (from Jetbrains) and Zed lacked quite a lot for themes
AdityaAnuragi··on We see something that works, and then we understand it
Game developers are the best at this sort of stuff (especially valve and puzzle game designers)

Portal (a puzzle game by valve) had levels built in such a way that it introduced the player to new mechanic, and only then building on top of that

I agree that doism should done more in all honesty

Cuz in real life also its more about "doing" you're physically fixing a clock, or writing code, or designing a building

Doism shouldn't be 100% but it certainly should be more

AdityaAnuragi··on Wi is Fi: Understanding Wi-Fi 4/5/6/6E/7/8 (802.11 n/AC/ax/be/bn)
With Wi-Fi 6's OFDMA handling the hidden node problem better, does it actually make a noticeable difference in dense apartment buildings? Curious if anyone has measured this in practice
AdityaAnuragi··on OpenAI’s WebRTC problem
Browser API reliability in general has a lot of undocumented edge cases — WebRTC isn't alone there.
AdityaAnuragi··on Google broke reCAPTCHA for de-googled Android users
Doesn't surprise me — I've hit undocumented Android Chrome behavior too while working with the Vibration API (more advanced usage by a very large margin). The browser/OS layer on Android has a lot of silent, unannounced behavior.
AdityaAnuragi··on Show HN: A lie detector game that reads your pulse through your phone camera
This reminds of the game LA Noire, that was famous for its focus on facial animation for spotting a lie or truth

Quite interesting for using phone sensors via the browser. It's a space I've been playing in too recently

AdityaAnuragi··on Show HN: Ant – A from-scratch JavaScript runtime in 9 MB
This is cool, imagine this in a serverless environment

Previously with lambda we've had cold start issues, and cloudflare tried to address this with V8 isolates, but that doesn't have the full node env

Maybe this could make it so the code always runs quickly regardless of the env it's in... maybe
