LouisLazaris··on Snake rendered with 576 browser windows
There's a write-up here: https://dev.to/grahamthedev/snake-rendered-with-576-browser-...
LouisLazaris··on Show HN: Remotely use my guitar tuner
Ah yes, my bad!
LouisLazaris··on Show HN: Remotely use my guitar tuner
I guess he would have to add a way to interact with the tuner's UI to switch to a different setting other than standard tuning.
LouisLazaris··on Learn Visual Studio Code (E-Book)
I put together an e-book of 150+ tips for working with the native features of VS Code. Includes 450+ screenshots and all text is written by a human. AI was used only for creating the cover and doing some image edits.
LouisLazaris··on Creators of Tailwind laid off 75% of their engineering team
I'm knee-deep in the tech newsletter niche and I've never seen an official Tailwind newsletter. The only one I subscribe to is a small, unofficial weekly newsletter by Vivian Guillen:

https://tailwindweekly.com/

The only problem is that it seems to have stopped sending in October.

LouisLazaris··on SpamAssassin: GUARANTEED_100_PERCENT
First time I'd seen this warning by SpamAssassin (via mail-tester). Apparently the phrase "100% guaranteed" (which was in an ad) is a major spam red flag.
LouisLazaris··on Tell HN: Azure outage
The VS Code website is down: https://code.visualstudio.com/

And so is Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/

LouisLazaris··on Revisiting Moneyball
A wider strike zone benefits pitchers, not hitters.
LouisLazaris··on Ask HN: Are Squarespace and Wix sites worth it?
Late response but as of this moment I see all comments with a "7 days ago" stamp. Not sure what you were seeing, but anyhow, thanks for your contributions to the thread.
LouisLazaris··on Ask HN: Are Squarespace and Wix sites worth it?
Thanks. Yeah, that’s good to know that there’s nothing shady going on with the domains. It does seem very inexpensive when you factor in the domain and hosting, so I was curious if there’s any drawbacks.
LouisLazaris··on Show HN: Inspired by Tetris and Scrabble I built a new drag and drop game
I solved it but I have no idea why. The success modal blocks the board and I can’t even see what I’ve done right. It thinks “CG” is a word? Is that correct? I don’t seem to follow what the letters are supposed to accomplish here?
LouisLazaris··on VSCode adds overtype mode after 9 years
Late response, but this is not true. You can right-click the sidebar and choose "Move Primary Side Bar Right" from the menu.

I believe this option has been around for at least a few years.

LouisLazaris··on Three hundred words you can spell on a calculator [pdf]
Neat list but I’m confused: Why do many of the words on the left use what appears to be a zero character for the letter “O”. I understand why the zeroes are on the right, they just seem out of place on the left. Some of the words (e.g. GLOBS) use a regular letter O but some seem to use a zero (0) (e.g GL0SS)?
LouisLazaris··on Ask HN: Is this VSCode extension malicious?
I obviously cannot vouch for the safety of this extension, but I'll just post this quote from the VS Code docs:

> The Marketplace runs a virus scan on each extension package that's published to ensure its safety. The virus scan is run for each new extension and for each extension update. Until the scan is all clear, the extension won't be published in the Marketplace for public usage.

LouisLazaris··on YouTube's Time-Based UX Problem for Live Sports
Author here.

> A thoughtful production team could add a "spoiler block" to the ending of short matches

Yes, that's why I recommended in the article:

> Events that livestream sports or games where the result can be strongly implied by the video duration could append empty livestream time to all their videos.

And after writing the article, I was told by a friend that when AVP streams on their own website, they do in fact disguise the results with extra streaming time. So it does happen, but it would be nice if a large platform like YouTube took certain measures by default on certain types of videos.

LouisLazaris··on Ask HN: Small newsletter creators, how do you handle DMARC?
I set up mail rules, or filters, that look for the content that appears in the subject line of the DMARC emails, and I just auto delete them using the rules. I use Thunderbird on Windows so you’d have to figure it out for your own mail client.
LouisLazaris··on Rivers Cuomo is an active developer on GitHub
Haha, I’m definitely more of an early Weezer lover, but I find it sad how unappreciated the Green Album is. Might be their best melodies, but the overall vibe is not as good as Pinkerton (especially without Matt Sharp).

Which reminds me of this legendary SNL skit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab5WvwfLuLM
