beeman··on Show HN: I'm open-sourcing my game engine
This looks really cool! Thanks for sharing!
beeman··on GitHub stays with algorithmic feed for 'user experience and performance' reasons
September 12, 2023 update:

When we launched the latest version of your feed on September 6, 2023, we made changes to the underlying technology of the feed in order to improve overall platform performance. As a result, we removed the functionality for “push events for repositories a user is subscribed to”. We don’t take these changes lightly, but as our community continues to grow tremendously, we have to prioritize our availability, user experience and performance.

Thanks to feedback from the community, we have fixed the following bugs from the initial September 6th release:

- We were showing releases for organizations that you follow, instead of only showing them for repositories that you watch or star. This is now fixed.

- We have also addressed a problem where ‘Followed You’ cards were sometimes appearing out of chronological order.

- We do not plan to re-include “push events for repositories a user is subscribed to” for the reasons listed above, but we will continue to address feedback as it aligns with our platform goals.

beeman··on GitHub Discussion about the recent feed changes becomes 3rd most upvoted ever
I'd rather not be bothered by this at all and just move on, but it's something I care about - and hundreds of others with me.

It's ok that you don't care about this, so feel free to put your pitchfork down.

They also brought back the Start menu in Windows after removing it, so there is hope

I tend to interact with GitHub mostly through the CLI.

However, having a chronological timeline is pretty useful if you follow other people with similar interests, and it also helps you keep up to date with repos you are interested in.

So for a lot of people, it's a useful addition to the main features.

The actionable feedback is that the old option should still stay available next to the new one.

beeman··on New GitHub feed is hot garbage
Thanks for sharing the 'discussion' I started.

Last year in October GitHub did the same and it was quickly reverted. I really hope this will happen again.

Having a chronological timeline is very useful and that feed is al great source of news interesting projects and people to follow. It's by far my favorite daily feed and I'm very sad that GitHub is trying to remove it.

Here is an aggregate of all the topics that are created in reaction to the update

Here on HN there must be someone from GitHub who is reading along, I'm curious if they can help us get the previous feed back as an option.

beeman··on SymmetricDS: Open-Source, cross platform database replication software
For those interested in the source, here is the GitHub repo: https://github.com/JumpMind/symmetric-ds
beeman··on FTX founder SBF has agreed to be extradited to the US

beeman··on The 4th Year of SerenityOS
I found out about SerenityOS because of the post about Ladybird here on HN a few weeks back.

I have since watched hours of his stream and found it super inspiring. To the extend that I now want to learn some C++ and make some contributions to the project.

It's really refreshing to see people code for fun and build whatever they feel like.

I think a lot of profesional devs lose that when they go all in on their work (which is understandable) so it's awesome to see something like this!

Congrats on the 4 years! Looking forward to what's next!

That means you most likely don't have a web server listening on 127.0.0.1 port 80
beeman··on Ask HN: Hacker News page width broken on mobile
I'm seeing the same.

I just found this one which works fine, and it also has dark mode http://hn.premii.com

beeman··on Vue vs React: Best Choice for Startups
Same here, really love it and I'm relieved to use it when I get back from working on a React project.

One of the reasons it's not mentioned is because of the bad fame. Especially here on HN it's almost exclusively being hated on.

I learned to ignore the hate and continue working with it. Version 11 is awesome, and we had a great update party with the Angular Team on the official discord (https://discord.gg/angular)

beeman··on Angular 11
Same here! And folks should not be fooled that we are the only ones. We started a new Angular Community on Discord a few months back and we are already +3500 members and counting!

There are interesting discussions daily! Come join us at https://discord.gg/angular

beeman··on Stator: A full-stack boilerplate – releases, deployments, enforced conventions
I'm working on a set of schematics that generate an Nx Workspace using NestJS and Angular. It uses GraphQL to communicate between frontend and backend and the data layer uses Prisma.

It's pretty much work in progress but you should be able to scaffold out a new working project.

Feel free to check it out. Happy to answer any questions

beeman··on Ask HN: How do you overcome decision fatigue in software development?
I tend to use 'boring' technology if that serves the purpose, and I try to not experiment with new tech in projects that I need to deliver.

For experimentation and prototyping I tend to check out new things, those might end up in the 'boring' stack once I'm familiar with them.

For me it's a personal stack of tools that work for me, and I try not to be too influenced by what's the next new thing on sites like StackOverflow or Hackernews, I use what works for me and what makes my clients happy.

beeman··on Show HN: Zesture – Control Mac/Windows Apps Using Hand Gestures
This looks pretty neat! I'm definitely going to give it a try!

Also, I really appreciate the price, with the $9,99 one time purchase it seems like it's afforable to a lot of people, especially if they'd use it professionally.

beeman··on Show HN: Nx-go, a plugin to use Go in a Nx workspace
Hey there, today I created a plugin that enables using Go in a Nx Workspace.

For those if you unfamiliar with Nx: Nx combines a monorepo structure with CLI tools to develop and manage 1 or more applications and libraries in the same repo. It encourages code collaboration, unified testing, and optimizes builds and testing performance by caching.

I have been using Nx for most of my frontend and Node applications.

I'm now learning Go and having this plugin allows me to use it in a familiar structure.

Happy to answer any questions :)

beeman··on This tweet is broken
A few days back I tried to tweet various empty characters [0], but the twitter frontend wouldn't let me.

Seems like this person found some new ones. Curious if they will ban them.

beeman··on Riot is now Element
Great name I'd say! If I would consider converting people like my parents to a new app, I'm sure Element has a bigger chance than Riot because of the connotations with the name of the latter.
beeman··on Dealing with Insomnia
I have rarely felt so identified with a blog, for a huge part it's like I'm reading my own story. Thanks a lot for sharing!

I'm going to read the book you mentioned and I'll consider taking magnesium as suggested here.

Thanks!

beeman··on Ask HN: What's your favorite way of getting a web app up quickly in 2018?
> as 2018 as it gets

sftp'ing a binary to your deploy target? That's more 2008 iyam...

beeman··on Webpack 2 is finally here
The blog post for the release [1] and the migration guide [2] will give you a good idea:

Very sad.

But how is this Hacker News?

beeman··on Facebook Messenger XMPP is going away
Awesome, thanks! I was just looking for something like this today! :)
