Now what do the variables actually mean that you can colorize and what does the data mean?

Something1234on Show HN: A simple app to create .gitignore files

I have a shell function that does a similar thing. I just never got used to using it actively. Looks like your app is pretty’s cool

Something1234on Wave activity on Titan strong enough to erode the coastlines of lakes and seas

Well that’s depressing beyond belief. I don’t even have words for how sad the novel sounds. I think the best thing I can leave is “war pigs” by Black Sabbath

Something1234on Looking ahead to 30 years of FreeDOS

Every time I downloaded freedos, I couldn't do anything once I started the box. There was no built-in software or demos. Just about every Linux distribution included one or many demos. The question is what do I use Freedos for? How do I use it well?

Also just needs a package manager

Something1234on The demise of the mildly dynamic website (2022)

Love nearly free speech.

Something1234on Nemotron-4-340B

What is it? Is it an llms or what?

Something1234on POV-Ray – The Persistence of Vision Raytracer (2021)

I love POV-Ray. I learned about it in college when I was trying to find things to do on my gaming desktop that weren’t gaming. It’s so much fun to mess with and make different things with. There’s some super impressive examples and stitching the images together is a lot like magic.

It’s honestly really satisfying to use.

I imagine a lot of people can use it. I made dice with it already.

Seems like the franchise is safe just a bunch of executives at some subsidiary squandered everything.

Something1234on Fighting an anti-doping finding

Because science. Imagine the lack of morals required to build truly scientifically the limits of human ability. Pushed beyond all peaks and limitations of natural ability

Something1234on Gene therapy restores hearing to children with inherited deafness

Wait until they have kids. The deafness gene will be passed along. Soon enough we'll be like the cars with the hardware without the software or the locked features.

Something1234on Fighting an anti-doping finding

I really hope people comment on this. It's absolutely fascinating to me how a private organization can ruin someone's life or completely jerk them around like this. With no recourse.

Something1234on Ask HN: How are you deploying your lambdas these days?

SAM is probably my favorite way to do it myself. Easy enough to wrap your function up however you please and it automatically handles zipping for me. Can even do layers for my dependencies.

Something1234on Apple signs deal with OpenAI for iOS, still wants Google as an 'option'

I have a feeling plenty of talent is interested in it. They're just not sure how to break into the role.

Something1234on YouTube's Legal Team sent me a letter [video]

Here's the funniest part!!!!

The app is on a .app TLD, and that's ran by google. So theoretically google just pull the domain registration. I wouldn't put it past them. Hooray for vanity domains!

https://get.app/

He needs to get better about posting the link to whatever he's talking about so I can read ahead and be more informed.

Something1234on Why Fugaku, Japan's fastest supercomputer, went virtual on AWS

Someone needs to share utilization data on these super computer clusters. Most have a long queue of jobs waiting to be ran, and you have to specify how long you think your job is gonna take to properly schedule it.

Something1234on Taws – The Amiga Workbench

It's some kind of run the Amiga in your browser thing. Worked allright on Firefox Mobile on Android for me.

Something1234on D2 Playground

This is honestly pretty neat. I attempted to plot out the relationships on house md.

the_show: { management: { cuddy -> house cuddy -> foreman }

  wilson <-> management.house: friend

  management.house <- taub
  management.house <- chase
  management.house <- thirteen

  management.foreman -> management.house
  management.foreman -- thirteen: dating
}

Something1234on DuckDB as the New jq

Where's this noglob command coming from? I haven't heard of it before.

Something1234on The IRS Has an Answer to TurboTax

Because of the earned income tax credit. It’s involved and stupid how much welfare is done through that program.

Plus congress wants the poor idiots who vote republican to feel like taxes are a punishment otherwise how will they whip up their base.

Something1234on Refund fraud schemes on TikTok, Telegram cost Amazon, other retailers billions

I had a sloppily resealed switch game sent to me. It was without the game in it. At least I got my money back. I hate this trust less society.

Something1234on The spreadsheet is a simulation machine

Well if it's in excel those fractions have already been destroyed.

Something1234on The spreadsheet is a simulation machine

That should be considered a firable offense on the part of the manager and borderline professional malpractice.

I need this screenshot.

Something1234on Free Electron Laser Time

This would be enhanced with some pretty pictures for the layman to better understand what I'm looking at.

Something1234on Poll: Would you accept a 25% pay cut in exchange for a 4 day workweek?

The US uses a progressive tax system. That 25% cut may bring them down under that threshold.

Also earning more money doesn't mean your take home will be less cause you're in a higher bracket.

Something1234on The White House Memory Safety Appeal Is a Red Herring

I would actually really like to learn Ada cause it just sounds interesting. All number types are fully ranged and it would be fun to hand out as a CTF problem.

Something1234on PlanetScale is locking people out of their free databases

So we don't have the full context here. Is the customer in a specific country that has weird compliance issues they don't want to deal with for a free user?

Something1234on Apple kills many browser games in the EU: unprecedented affront to regulation

Are there really still good browser based video games out there? It seems like after flash died the only things out there are based on mobile games with very frustrating time based mechanics. There's no adventure or story in them. There's very few platformers if any. The vast majority are the cursed idle game.

Something1234on Add coffee stains to LaTeX documents (2021)

Honestly if I got a resume featuring this I would immediately call them in for an interview it counts for massive bonus points.

Something1234on Ask HN: Finding an Old Post

I tried with a couple terms on hn's own search engine. I think I'm missing some terms that it used originally.

Something1234on PyKX

Since the title is awful. It sounds like an implementation of Kdb for python. Maybe useful for someone.
