deneb150on iPhone 16 cameras vs. traditional digital cameras

iPhones have wide angle lenses but they are NOT fish eye lenses as stated a couple times in the article. They definitely distort things but a fish eye lens distorts things in a very different curved way rather than keeping lines straight like a regular wide angle lens.

deneb150on Ask HN: What is something you built but never marketed?

I just finished rewriting this custom reddit email newsletter service from a few years ago. Fully functional but don't feel like trying to market it: https://orangered.email/

deneb150on Building video chat into my personal website using WebRTC, WebSockets, and Go

Looks nice, here's the final working JS file from this blog post's example, no classes: https://github.com/m-butterfield/mattbutterfield.com/blob/88...

A bit dense, and could use some error handling...but it actually seems to work fine!

Debugging this is indeed quite hard. I have only used it for 1 on 1 p2p calls.

deneb150on Ask HN: I've realized I'm a bad software engineer and I'm over 30, what's next?

  > not sure it's possible without working on a company with other people

Sounds like you are in the perfect place to learn how to write better code right now. Use the feedback you're getting to improve and get to the level you feel you should be at. You probably aren't as far away as you think.

Thanks for the feedback, definitely need to make the subreddit selection easier. I like the idea of making the whole sign up section visible right away too. I will work on it.

deneb150on Show HN: An app I made to send customizable email summaries of subreddits

Creator here. I made this over the course of a few weekends, starting with the simple idea of an automated, curated Reddit newsletter. Decided to take it all the way to a fully deployed and working service. The backend is written in Python and deployed in Google Cloud. Let me know if you have any questions.

deneb150on Ask HN: Recommend one book I need to read this summer?

I read it earlier this year and also can't understand why it's so highly recommended. If I were living in the Soviet Union during the time it was written it would probably be the greatest book I had ever read, but as someone just looking for something to read nowadays, I mean, so, so many other better choices.
