DigiEggz··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
Working on a few major changes for my turn-based MMORPG. It uses HaxeFlixel for the client and SmartFoxServer for the backend. I've had fun working on it for about four years now.

DigiEggz··on I have 2000 old VHS tapes in my garage and don't know what to do with them
You'd be very surprised.
DigiEggz··on The unknowns surrounding the mysterious rise of cancer in young adults
I think he's making fun of the arbitrary number that was originally given. Obviously healthy foods can have far more than four ingredients, such as dozens of spices (or really anything). I think many people want to be able to follow some sort of broad guideline in life and it frequently causes those to arrive at meaningless conclusions.
DigiEggz··on GPU Debug Scopes
Cool to see how the Vulkan and OpenGL implementations differ. Also did not ever expect to see Paint Roller on HN.

Is there a general way to tell if a site is (likely) a dropshipping site?
DigiEggz··on Copying is the way design works (2020)
Do you have any examples of some "cool" sites that you designed, even prototypes? You piqued my interest.
DigiEggz··on One Million Checkboxes
I realized it would be easy enough to detect when certain lines are forming and manually shuffling the players a few spots, but your comment made me smile. Somewhere in there is the start of a biography title.
DigiEggz··on One Million Checkboxes
Which MMO was that in? I'm working on my own and now I have a new worry on my plate. Short of standard moderation, an algorithm to detect it could be interesting.

Gave me a good laugh.
DigiEggz··on Missouri county declares state of emergency amid suspected ransomware attack
Whenever I see large attacks like this, I always wonder exactly which ransomware is used by the attackers. It's interesting to see if it's an old tool or something new.
DigiEggz··on Anonymous public voicemail inbox
Incredible and nostalgic. Excellent project!
DigiEggz··on AsmBB – a lightweight web forum engine written in assembly language
Really cool concept and execution. I did notice that the live notifications quickly become overwhelming, so there should be some kind of rate limiter on them.
DigiEggz··on Why don't grocery stores stock pawpaw fruit?
Gave me a good laugh.
DigiEggz··on Jobs you're applying to might not be real
I'm sorry this happened to your friend. It's surprising that the requisite data for her to open a bank account was not considered too personal. I opened a bank account not long ago and it felt like they wanted to know every vague thing about me. It's a good reminder to set safeguards so that routine does not desensitize you to dangers.

It makes me wonder how the scammers transfer the money out, because that all feels traceable. Was she able to find a way out?

DigiEggz··on Ask HN: Does anyone here use Haxe?
I'll take bug reports anywhere I can get them. I'll see if I can reproduce it—and thanks for the heads up! A dedicated Android version is also on the way.
DigiEggz··on Ask HN: Does anyone here use Haxe?
I use Haxe and really enjoy it. I use it to develop an MMORPG (https://jamcloud95.com).

I've remember going through quite a few different game engines (Godot, Unity, Defold, etc.) but HaxeFlixel had the most "natural" feel for me to code in, which is largely due to Haxe itself.

DigiEggz··on Show HN: Beeper Mini – iMessage client for Android
This is incredible! Excellent job on this. I regularly hunt for an app that can do what you've done, so it was a very pleasant surprise to see it as an HN post.
DigiEggz··on Purchase and manage domains directly through Bluesky
That is mortifying and cruel. It's unfortunate that Microsoft didn't prevent registration of expired emails for a set period of time. They had to have an idea that this type of situation would occur. I'm tempted to ask what the domain was...
