atlintots··on I automated my job application process
Yep. As an undergrad, one of my first "proper" interviews was with Mozilla for an internship. I was obviously super excited since I actually cared about their products. I spent a lot of time carefully preparing for the two rounds of interviews, just to get ghosted! Sent a follow-up email a couple weeks later -- no response! I was crushed!

atlintots··on Pragtical: Practical and pragmatic code editor
Why fork Lite XL instead of contributing? Just out of curiosity, since I'm not familiar with either project and don't know what their respective philosophies are.
atlintots··on Male autism is linked to brain aromatase disruption by maternal bisphenol A
80% is indeed a striking imbalance though, I had no idea it was this high, and I don't know if social conditioning alone is enough to explain it. Not to mention that according to this study itself, when considering ASD-like behaviours, "an estrogenic fatty acid alleviated these features and reversed detrimental neurodevelopmental gene expression." So it seems to really be something based in the biology.

atlintots··on Timeshift: System Restore Tool for Linux
Luckily Nix is also an excellent build system, and does provide escape hatches here and there when you really need them (e.g nix-ld).

Cheers, saved me some time.
atlintots··on SCIM: Ncurses based, Vim-like spreadsheet
What could be a more Vim-like experience than feeling like you're constantly hitting a wall when first learning? :)
atlintots··on Building a data compression utility in Haskell using Huffman codes
This is great! Are there any other similar tutorials going through writing a Haskell program, but with some more advanced features (monad transformers, lenses, etc)

Seeing another DHJL glycine enthusiast here on HN was not on my bingo, but it is a pleasant surprise.

Readers might also be happy to know DHJL glycine is Halal, Kosher, and Reach certified, and more recently, FDA approved as well!

atlintots··on Launch HN: Aqua Voice (YC W24) – Voice-driven text editor
No way, I was literally mulling over the exact idea of voice-driven text editing (focused towards programming), using a mix of voice commands and usual speech to text. This is really exciting to see!
atlintots··on Show HN: magick.css – Minimalist CSS for Wizards
one of my favourites: https://latex.vercel.app/
atlintots··on Show HN: magick.css – Minimalist CSS for Wizards
this, mixed with the look of a LaTeX document is exactly the kind of vibe I'm looking to go with for my personal site as well. Something just so appealing about it to me.

that, and the ultra-minimal look of websites of old university professors (basically just html and nothing else) looks so cool to me.

i wish personal blogs were more popular!

atlintots··on Ask HN: Which full stack framework (NextJS, Remix, SvelteKit) would you use?
but what about the backend?

I guess that's a wrap then :( Very sad to hear this.

atlintots··on Paul Erdős, the most prolific mathematician
Your comment should answer your question -- there's really no fair comparison between them considering how far apart their eras were. It was much "easier" making new discoveries back then (there were simply fewer mathematicians, and maths itself was much younger).

Making any significant contribution in modern times is so much more difficult. It's said within algebraic geometry most mathematicians will publish perhaps a handful of papers in their lifetime -- it takes too long to even get up to speed with the subject before you are able to start contributing.

atlintots··on Elixir is now a gradually typed language
With the JIT compiler, I'm not sure any optimisations from the type information will be significantly worth it. But I'm not an expert on this topic.
atlintots··on Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?
compiler enthusiasts catching stays:(
atlintots··on MathJax: Beautiful and accessible math in all browsers
MathJax has better MathML support.
atlintots··on Google Maps has become an eyesore
That's just another reason why it's worth adding that information to open street maps, if you are able to.
atlintots··on Where do you discuss computer related stuff now?
Any discords you're willing to share?
