jawngee··on Show HN: I made Devzat – It's like Discord but in the terminal, over SSH
I used to live in your basement!

I think most ravers from that time period have moved on. :)

Back in the mid 90's, I used to hang out on what was called vrave, a telnet based chat hosted at hyperreal.org (Apache's' Brian Behlendorf's rave archive/culture site).

This is definitely making me nostalgic for it.

jawngee··on Treatment for Tinnitus with Stimulation of Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerves
I have tinnitus from heart meds. I've found tapping the back of my skull with both index fingers 20-40 times reduces it considerably. Not sure if it's placebo or not, but it does the trick for me.
jawngee··on The Unreasonable Math of Type 1 Diabetes
Our T1D kid has been pumping since 18 months. He was diagnosed at 12 months old. He's six now and has been pumping nearly the entire time.

We're in Vietnam but we do all his endo related medical stuff in Singapore.

Counting carbs in kids is a nearly pointless endeavor. Picky eating habits, nutrition mis-labeling (good luck finding accurate nutrition information in Vietnam), etc. And you'll also need to consider that their bodies are moving targets with hormones, growth spurts, etc. It's going to be really hard to manage just by math alone.

Being five years into it now, because the math seems to be changing daily, we are doing it almost by feeling backed by CGM evidence. In our case, the only CGM available here is the Freestyle Libre which is mildly inaccurate except for informing us on the general direction his blood sugar is taking. It's enough info that we've gotten his hb1ac into near normal range and the miaomiao3 turns into a full fledged CGM that we can use with nightscout and xdrip4ios for realtime monitoring.

I'd also advise you to think about joining a group of parents of T1Ds because there's a lot of things to learn and I've personally found it helpful when working through edge case scenarios that will eventually happen.

jawngee··on The complicated futility of WordPress
They don't propagate the same event though. `post_updated` vs `wp_insert_post`.

`post_updated` passes the old and new values: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/post_updated...

I'm the author of a sizable WordPress plugin (in terms of LoC and integration with WordPress) and nothing you are saying is making any sense to me.

jawngee··on The complicated futility of WordPress
This doesn't make any sense or you are explaining it badly.

You are basically describing how every WordPress plugin already works via filters and actions (collectively referred to as hooks).

jawngee··on Hypercard Simulator
Who cares about competitors when you barely have any market share for yourself? You can be the greatest IDE in the world, but if barely anybody is using you how great are you really?

The fact that their lowest pricing tier ties the apps to the account is bonkers too. If that account lapses in payment, any apps built by the account cease functioning. Not even Apple is that brazen if your developer account lapses.

jawngee··on Hypercard Simulator
Livecode's pricing is insane.
jawngee··on Roblox October Outage Postmortem
Mojang was likely not selling you on making a mod with promises of making money though. Roblox did that, maybe they still do it.
jawngee··on TinyVG: A challenger to the throne of vector graphics
In no universe could After Effects even be remotely considered bad software.
jawngee··on Only 90s web developers remember this (2014)
It was x.gif, 1x1.gif was a waste of two bytes which was considerable savings on those insane table layouts.
jawngee··on Goodbye Wordpress, Hello Jamstack
Algolia for search.

Disqus for comments. Are pingbacks really a thing still?

Do you really hotswap themes that frequently?

You get performance out of the box with SSG that would be a lot of effort to replicate with Wordpress.

jawngee··on Show HN: Reddit clone built in no-code in two weeks
> Slow as hell, to the point it does not load.

So it looks like they nailed it.

jawngee··on Digital Film Cartridge for Analog Cameras
When I started out in the early 90's, I did digital prepress. We had a leaf back for a Hasselblad. You had to take the RGB channels separately, one at a time, so it was only useful for catalog or product work. It was really amazing at the time, considering we no longer had to do drum scans which were very very very very slow and labor intensive, plus no more waiting for the slide film to process.
jawngee··on Open Insulin Foundation
Most insulin has a very long shelf life unopened and refrigerated.
jawngee··on Open Insulin Foundation
We have two years of insulin in our fridge, I'm curious what you mean by you can't store large quantities?
jawngee··on Mastershot – Web based video editor
How are you using FFMPEG but it's not open source?
jawngee··on Äike – First e-scooter developed and assembled in Europe
$2,243 for this is insane.

In Vietnam, I just bought an electric motorbike (https://xemaydien.vinfast.vn/en/klara-s/) for half of that.

Granted, it's Vietnam, but still.

jawngee··on Why I don't like Tailwind CSS
I used to think like this for a long time, but after using Tailwind on real projects - there is a definite moment when it clicks and you wonder why you've been doing it any other way.
jawngee··on Daft Punk Break Up
Saw them at Even Furthur in 1996 and they melted everyone's mind. One of the most amazing musical wow moments I've ever witnessed.
jawngee··on Show HN: Flurly – sell any digital file online
What about tax remittance?

The reason gumroad charges more is because they deal with EU/VAT remittance issues because they act as the merchant of record. Same with fastspring.

jawngee··on Show HN: Boltstream – Self-hosted full end-to-end live video streaming platform
There are well maintained forks.
jawngee··on The Story Behind Markdown
It's Charles Schulz, not Charles Swartz.
jawngee··on ResEdit Reference (1995) [pdf]
Interface Builder already existed in 1995, it was originally released in 1988.
jawngee··on On not choosing WordPress for the W3C redesign project
Not sure why you are being downvoted.

We've done two migrations from Craft for clients. WordPress isn't great, but Craft isn't a panacea either.

jawngee··on Hard to discover tips and apps for macOS
My personal must haves are Yoink for drag and drop, Moom for window sizing/placement, Default Folder X.
jawngee··on Hard to discover tips and apps for macOS
You're a good person.

That's been bugging me for years, but just a tad under bugging me enough that I'd take the time to solve it.

Thank you!

jawngee··on Microsoft Support of PHP on Windows
It's not really about running linux applications as much as running your application in the same or similar environment to what you are ultimately deploying on.
