ateesdalejr··on Show HN: Factorio but with unreliable components
Most of the pain was in the controls just being really nitpicky / not what I'm used to when playing regular factorio. E.g. the keypress shortcuts not always working / weirdly returning to default to place belts, etc. I found myself wanting underground belts a few times.
ateesdalejr··on Show HN: Factorio but with unreliable components
I played through scenario 1, and thought it was really painful. Which imo as it should be, but why not code a factorio mod with this functionality? I think it would be even more fun, and less of a UX/UI hassle?
ateesdalejr··on GitHub Has Restricted Access to Star Data
This is concerning, now it's going to be even harder to tell if a repo is astroturfed by marketers or is really receiving organic adoption.
ateesdalejr··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2026)
A couple of fun random projects:

- This weekend was substack MCP (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHARlcInLqU)

ateesdalejr··on Washington the Innovate State
I found this cool visualization of companies, universities and their connections from GeekWire, and felt like sharing. :)
ateesdalejr··on Functional Programming Internship at NASA
OP, This looks really cool. Do you know what the housing situation looks like for Summer interns at NASA? That is, do you know if interns receive a housing stipend?

Sonic the hedgehog I think... Referencing Chaos Emeralds.
ateesdalejr··on Vaccines should end the pandemic, despite the variants, say experts
That's what you've been told by Chinese authorities; whom we have no reason to trust due to previous events.

Not WASM but also an equally fun target: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/282269/
ateesdalejr··on Neglected side projects for less than $1000
What happens when this becomes a neglected side project?
ateesdalejr··on No Phd, No Problem: New Schemes Teach the Masses to Build AI
I know this isn't particularly constructive but, before reading did anyone else think they were making a new mass-market dialect of scheme/lisp to teach people AI programming?
ateesdalejr··on Motorola and iFixit partner to sell phone repair kits
Thanks! That list is really cool! Interesting that only a few phones have scores of 10. One of them is called Fairphone, which actually looks like it would be a nice device.
ateesdalejr··on Motorola and iFixit partner to sell phone repair kits
What exactly would qualify a phone as user repairable? I'm guessing something could be repairable by users, but the costs of the tools are prohibitive. Would that be considered user repairable or would cost of materials and tools have to factor into the equation?
ateesdalejr··on Ask HN: YouTube down?
You forgot George Soros
ateesdalejr··on Ask HN: YouTube down?
Yes! This video was what caused me to reconsider my use of Google services seriously.
ateesdalejr··on The First Photo of a Human Being, and How the Scene's Changed from 180 Years Ago
Ah! I'd seen something like this but instead of photoshop they used Python+Pillow to XOR a bunch of images together.
ateesdalejr··on Sinister 'hunger stones' with dire warnings have surfaced as water levels drop
Honestly, I'm probably not. But what does that matter? I save bandwidth and don't have to be annoyed by a lot of ads.
ateesdalejr··on Sinister 'hunger stones' with dire warnings have surfaced as water levels drop
Not surprisingly, I don't use 2 of those things. I find YouTube to be too much of a distraction so I've gotten rid of it. I don't use google docs because it's too slow (in comparison with native word processors.) and I don't have a google account. Netflix, I watch on my Amazon fire. :)

Edit: oops the rest of my comment contradicted my first part.

ateesdalejr··on Show HN: I'm 12, learning JS, and wrote Wolfram's cellular automaton in Node
When I was 12 I ignored this on pretty much any website I signed up for. Words do little to stop a determined 12 year old.
ateesdalejr··on Show HN: I'm 12, learning JS, and wrote Wolfram's cellular automaton in Node
From all the amazing things Mr. Wolfram has done at such a young age almost makes him the Chuck Norris of science.
ateesdalejr··on Show HN: I'm 12, learning JS, and wrote Wolfram's cellular automaton in Node
Surprisingly there are some embedded developers who use Node. I would assume those devices have a trimmed version of the Node stdlib.
ateesdalejr··on Sinister 'hunger stones' with dire warnings have surfaced as water levels drop
Yup, Basically the only website I have JS enabled on is my Bank. All other stuff I have no need to enable it.
ateesdalejr··on Bye bye BetterSlack
> Injecting javascript into Slack via Chrome extension can have an impact on the privacy and security of our customers and our product.

So can taking screenshots of messages. If injecting JS can possibly affect the security of your platform then that's a vulnerability you should fix, not send a C&D to some developer about.

If you disable JS you don't need to worry about it. ;)
ateesdalejr··on Twitter’s deletion of its FB app caused old cross-posts to temporarily disappear
Shameless-plug https://neocities.org lets you do that for free. :) + letting you kind of be a part of a community built around helping other people with their websites.

ugh... blocking fonts makes the content invisible.

I would be concerned about the inherent audio security issues that solution might have...
ateesdalejr··on Why the tech sector may not solve America’s looming automation crisis
Any marginally smart email scraper wouldn't fall for that trick.
ateesdalejr··on EPA is allowing asbestos back into manufacturing
You know those drop ceilings in offices? Some older tiles used in those ceilings contain asbestos.
