hieu229··on Ask HN: Which is the oldest software alive still in 0.x, used by many?
Anyone feel that the version number isn't really important?

I didn't know 1.x supported to be stable version until very recently

hieu229··on Azure ChatGPT is no longer available
Microsoft released Azure ChatGPT on Github.

The repo was trending on Hacker News yesterday but no longer available as of now https://github.com/microsoft/azurechatgpt

Any thought?

hieu229··on Azure ChatGPT: Private and secure ChatGPT for internal enterprise use
This is a neat project from Microsoft

I've been building https://gasbyai.com, a beautiful chat UI that support self-hosted, with ChatGPT plugins, extract content from pdf/url. GasbyAI supports Azure, OpenAI, and custom API endpoints in case you want to run with your own models

hieu229··on Show HN: Play Tetris on my Twitter banner
Hi everyone. Though I'd try Twitter API for the last time, before the new price change.

I spent 2 days working this little game to play Tetris on my Twitter banner. Reply to the tweet link to move, rotate the block

Come play and let me know if you have any feedback!

hieu229··on Gumnotes: Write Notes That Stick
It was a piece of code that supposed to be running with the extension, not on the browser. Though it’s fixed!

Thanks again!

hieu229··on Gumnotes: Write Notes That Stick
Thanks for noticing. Indeed having issue with Firefox. I’ll update it.
hieu229··on Gumnotes: Write Notes That Stick
Hi HN,

Hope you’re enjoying the holidays.

I saw a friend using similar tool but was deprecated. So I decided to build this project for personal use.

It’s a small note talking webapp, and extension right on the browser new tab (extension submission is being review)

It supports - offline notes by default - sign in to sync notes

What’s your side project for this holiday season?

hieu229··on Show HN: UpSignal – My new microstartup after 4 years of indie works
Did not found the word Lumal until I disabled JavaScript. I was using a template, and that section was hidden (with JS).

Thanks for noticing, I have removed it now.

hieu229··on How to deliver constructive feedback in difficult situations (2019)
Not related to the topic but it would help if you (the website owner) make the font bolder a bit

I think it's too thin, make it harder to read

hieu229··on Show HN: Captain Stack – a parody version GitHub Copilot
Good suggestions.

Another one to consider is Google and Stackoverflow offical API

hieu229··on Show HN: Captain Stack – a parody version GitHub Copilot
I'm not entirely sure, I had a look but didn't find anywhere mentioned about it.

The extension run in nodejs environment, and use fetch-node to get page content. I assume it's similar to how someone use google on broswer

hieu229··on Show HN: Captain Stack – a parody version GitHub Copilot
Great idea. I'll add it
hieu229··on Show HN: Captain Stack – a parody version GitHub Copilot
The results are actual answers from StackOverflow.

The problem it has now is sometimes, answers can be the actual code. Or sometime, the answers is about explaining something (the code on those answers are not whole).

Besides, VSCode isn't officially support inline-completion yet. So this extension can only run on VSCode Insider for now

That said, the code is no joke

hieu229··on Show HN: Captain Stack – a parody version GitHub Copilot
That's harsh.

If you think you could use it and have suggestion, let's open a thread on Github and discuss

hieu229··on Show HN: Captain Stack – a parody version GitHub Copilot
Copilot is trending and I thought I'd make something for fun.

Captain Stack is a VSCode extension that mimics Copilot's code suggestion feature. But instead of using AI, it filter search results on Google and return a list of code suggestion option

It was meant for fun. Though I realized this method is quite effective since that's just what devs usually do

Feedback and question are welcome

hieu229··on Ask HN: Have you found a good desk chair?
How was your desk, screen and keyboard setup? A bad setup cause bad sitting posture too

I used to be picky about having a good chair. My back, legs, shoulder, and neck got sore. But now, try to improve the setup and it bother not much anymore. I just got a normal chair. Some issues I used to have and why:

- sore legs: I keep raising my legs or holding tension without me knowing it. The setup should keep your legs relax

- sore back: I didn't lean on the chair without me knowing it. Because screen might be a little far and I'm short-sighted. Naturely, I lean forward to see clearer

- sore shoulders: the table is too high or too low. I realized my shoulder needed to work all the time to keep my hands on the right position

- sore neck: screen angle is too high or low. I realized my neck also adjust naturely for the eyes to look at the screen. Set the screen at the right angle allow neck to relax more

Hope it helps

Ahha, how ironic!

Oops, wrong one. I can't remove the post, will post again.

Basically, if you draw a progress bar on paper. You can continue to mark as you progress.

Thanks Chris

hieu229··on A simple mistake that leaks 20M users' data
I think so, it's sometimes necessary to slow down, double check things. Definitely follow the basics

> They are publicly signaling to attract a lot of interest and filter through quickly

Nice one. I realized YC, or many other startup incubators do the same

hieu229··on Apple has gone to extraordinary lengths to make scroll bars invisible
Interesting. Would you suggest to have the scrollbar visible?
hieu229··on Would you rent out working space in your home?
I was in the situation and definitely agree with it.

I also had a few AirBnB to fill up the places when there was spare bedrooms. It was great

and ofcourse, there are the dark side to watch out when you want to implement it.

hieu229··on Apple has gone to extraordinary lengths to make scroll bars invisible
I remember working on a panel, allows users to choose an element. Without visible scrollbar, it'd sometimes look like there is no more items.

I think it is important to signal there is more content. And how much more to the end of the page
