bath_··on Show HN: JSON For You – Visualize JSON in graph or table views
The pricing icons under the "free" section are also a bit confusing. I'm not sure at a glance that I'm getting or not getting "30/month graph mode view".

This reminds of "Shock Tanks" my brother and I used to have. The concept is pretty simple, your RC tank get 3 lives per round, if it gets hit you get shocked.
bath_··on Show HN: Winglang – A new cloud-oriented programming language
The way I read it is that Winglang combines your IaC and your runtime logic/code. In theory it's pretty neat, I haven't given it a serious try though. I'm not totally convinced that I want my infrastructure definition intermingled with my business logic though.
bath_··on Show HN: Revert – Open-source unified API for product integrations
Do you have any resources for the planning/architecting phase of developing a unified API like this?

I work in a similar space, but for physical hardware, and one challenge we've frequently encountered is the somewhat massive variety of how our vendors handle certain tasks behaviorally within their platform.

bath_··on The Busy Worker’s Handbook to the Apocalypse
This is horribly depressing, to the point where if we're so doomed in the next 10 years I ask:

- Why do I care what happens?

- Why do I go on living?

- Most importantly, what is the solution, or mitigation, or any level of alternative other than accepting defeat?

It's harsh, but I feel that at this point, if you're not offering _some_ kind of solution to this issue, then what is the answer other than to smile and wave as we descend into this "apocalypse".

I understand this may not be a popular approach, but I have to _believe_ that we can avoid this scenario, because otherwise I lose all motivation to even try. Even if all is doomed, I have to try.

bath_··on Ask HN: Why doesn't Reddit just acquire 3rd party apps?
In all this news, I completely forgot that I used to use Alien Blue before Reddit acquired it. That was actually what made me try out the official reddit app for a while, before switching to Apollo.
bath_··on Show HN: Jesth – Next-level human-readable data serialization format
How is the name of this project meant to be pronounced? "jest h" or "jezzith" are the first two things that come to mind (I'm not sure how to write out the second one phonetically)
bath_··on Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop (2019)
Coming from Photoshop (and no longer doing any serious graphic work), I've found https://www.photopea.com/ (an in-browser photoshop clone) to be really great for 99.9% of my needs.

It's free, has the same UI as photoshop so no re-learning hotkeys, and is browser-based.

bath_··on Ask HN: Programs that saved you 100 hours? (2022 edition)
Not the user you replied to, but for me:

Open blinds in the morning, shut them at sundown.

Turn on porchlights after dark if I'm not home. Turn them off 10m after I'm home.

Turn HVAC up/down when I leave the house, revert when I get home.

Unlock doors when I arrive home. Make sure they're locked when I leave.

bath_··on Ask HN: What is the lowest hill you're willing to die on?
No dishwasher should be manufactured and sold without a heated dry cycle. [1]

[1] I just moved into a new place and the dishwasher has no heated dry cycle. You must use rinse aid.
