I created the data on my computer when I downloaded a copy of it from the web

CSS and JavaScript specialize in two very different areas and are commonly used in tandem

Fine, I'll have three

I hope you post it to HN once it's ready

I'm not sure but I thought it was funny that the "buy me a coffee" banner is the most prominent visual on the page, dwarfing the (typo'd) example text. At least that's how it appears to me on mobile.

I've seen a lot of the opposite, especially having done a lot of string parsing in PHP: some developers would nest half a dozen string functions just to prepare and extract a line of data while a simple regular expression would have handled the operation much more concisely and accurately

Not even modern vanilla JavaScript?

If it's for your children, why does it need to exist digitally for 100 years and not, say, 20?

The solution is to print out your writing, put the pages in plastic sleeves, and clip them into binders. Keep the copies in filing cabinets in separate physical locations. It's a one-time cost that isn't subject to digital media issues. You can't accidentally delete the writing or lock yourself out of an account that stores the files like you can with a digital copy

Reminds me of when Google's SEO spokesman Matt Cutts was around recommending that all sites have separate desktop and mobile versions, then Google started penalizing sites by tanking their pagerank shortly afterwards for not having just one version because Google wanted to push responsive design

Do you two ever play friendly games of Tetris against one another?

To be fair, the author says it's the "_supposed_ difficulty of writing err != nil" and says that the verbosity isn't an issue here. But he also earlier says that he "[hates] having to write pub all the time in Rust" to denote public visibilities. So typing seven extra characters in one place = tolerable, but four extra characters elsewhere = detestable

Hardly. Soulseek has been gaining interest in recent years, for one:

Not GP, but I was expecting to read about a C64 on fire and was disappointed when it was just a post about an unoptimized fire demo

Well yeah. This snowman kicks butt!

A reader of Ernest L. Martin?

Excuse me, but what? Do you not know of the reputation Microsoft had with Bill Gates? Embrace, extend, extinguish?

My dad has been raving because he discovered that his Windows computer has been uploading all of his pictures to OneDrive. He doesn't remember an option to enable that behavior and can't find any ways to simply turn it off. This is on top of the other nags and sketchy behavior that Windows has been pushing on him normally. He's fed up with it

The silver lining is that my dad's finally getting a new Linux machine for Christmas :^)

What is the normal experience for a famous person?

Why the name Minemizer instead of something like Minimizer?

I wonder if the author is responding to a developer who got confused and conflated hashes with UUIDs

"Gemini" seems to be the modern Phoenix

> When programming becomes repetitive, the odds of you creating something that makes people go “wow” are reduced quite a bit.

Unless you're working on something with a lot of breadth, of course. A great example is yt-dlp which works on a huge number of sites. The wow-factor is high because it feels like it just works everywhere. That's only possible through a huge number of data parsers, many of which are not terribly different from one another

One of his designs was the Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis, actually within the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities campus.

I remember a Minnesotan musician incorporating it in a music video years ago, but framing it as if it was an alien spaceship because of its unusual design. I wish I remember the name of the band.

What a bold suggestion (pun intended). Wouldn't this draw the ire of the people who are up in arms about AI art supposedly stealing from artists?

If by "cooler" you mean "way more difficult and awkward than just using a laptop" then you're right

I'm certainly thankful for Hacker News!

No way. There have been so many nice improvements to all of those languages over the last two decades that make development so much safer to implement, faster to code, and easier to test. I personally would lose my mind if I had to go back to the way things were running 20 years ago

I've seen at least one indie game (Ta*dQuest) use Midjourney to create pixel art sprites for some NPCs that appear in the dungeon. Extra art, like portraits for those NPCs, was drawn by hand to complement the sprites after they were generated, so it all feels deliberate. I would have never guessed

It doesn't count as giving up if you never even started :P
