I really dont see the benefit of these. its just guids with extra steps. its not any easier to read than guids.

its an alphanumeric random string in both systems.

yes theres is kinda symetrical. but im not going to find it easier to communicate/remember say:

38QARV0-1ET0G6Z-2CJD9VA-2ZZAR0X

any easier than i am

d1756360-5da0-40df-9926-a76abff5601d

both are long random strings. both are awkward to have to read over say a phone call.

what am I missing here?

fusspawnon Introducing Copilot+ PCs

ok but what about desktops and non oem silicon

fusspawnon Ask HN: Side projects that are making money, but you'd not talk about them?

I funded life over the pandemic selling bots for MMO's. Made way more than I expected. Enough it became a full time job for a while. Died down a little after people started returning to work after Covid.

But still makes a decent passive income.

fusspawnon Atomontage: Voxel 3D simulation – Landscape Demo

ran it on windows with what should be overkill hardware.

5900x, 3090, 64gb ram

Performance was terrible. Lod Steaming barely worked at all. Nothing moves like in the demo videos. Its all static geometry.

I get this is running a webbrowser (I presume just c++ compiled to wasm) but its barely even worth showing if this is what they have managed after all this time.

fusspawnon Show HN: Insert a page view counter in your README

You have some weird threading/locking bugs. Its possible to reset the counter by spamming refresh a few times.

fusspawnon Crafting Interpreters: Strings

I love this series.

Implimented my own interpreter of the back of the original series. Managed to get a type system and all sorts added.

The author was even responsive via email giving me hints on where to investigate extending it further. (belive I was trying to add lists at the time).

Having followed a ton of 'how to write a programming language / compiler / ect tutorials'.

Its the first one to really make me grok what's going on and move beyond just copy pasting examples.

So thanks Bob. Keep up the awesome work!

fusspawnon Ask HN: What would it take for you to do surveys?

Define Survey application. Your website litterally tells me nothing :/

If its anything like some of the other survey sites asking you to complete X surveys to get payed a few dollars. Actually paying out would be the best start. 90% wont ever actually payout and are total scams.

Those that do are mostly broken. Surveys wont ever complete ect ect.

I spent a few hours in a throw away vm trying a few out one day just to see if it was actually possible to make any cash on those sort of things. Its not.
