joe-esquibel··on Show HN: Website to test if you can detect someone staring at your back
I'm a science teacher and I use this to teach about experimental design and evidence interpretation. I hope to have my students doing all kinds of cool design setups to test this idea out.
joe-esquibel··on From Linux to Wikipedia: How Volunteers Build the Internet
I love these two projects for how they are, and continue to be, built. They say something hopeful and deep about humanity.

Before Linux and Wikipedia, we assumed that if you gave everyone a sharpie, that we would graffiti and deface the world.

Instead, we learned that humans will stop and sit and write the most thorough history ever seen for the sake of free knowledge and create the tools for us to do so.

joe-esquibel··on Show HN: The DNA of DOOM – How code structure survives across 44 ports
Author here. Fair hits on the writing; I leaned on an LLM too heavily for the prose. The data and method are mine, and they're all in the repo. Happy to answer questions about how the extraction works.
joe-esquibel··on Show HN: The DNA of DOOM – How code structure survives across 44 ports
That makes sense, thanks for the input.

I fondly remember getting the DOOM hackers guide from barnes and noble in HS. Those were the days.

joe-esquibel··on Show HN: The DNA of DOOM – How code structure survives across 44 ports
Thanks for your time, yeah, I can totally see it now.
joe-esquibel··on Show HN: The DNA of DOOM – How code structure survives across 44 ports
Thanks for the interest! I've done some work comparing code signatures between Claude and codex on the same tasks. This was also written heavily by llm (I haven't had a chance yet to try some rewrites on my own based on this feedback yet)...https://github.com/squid-protocol/agent-habits: comparing results across languages, https://squid-protocol.github.io/gitgalaxy/03-04-claim-4-com... and k means clustering of files by scaffold metrics https://squid-protocol.github.io/gitgalaxy/03-05-claim-5-fil....
joe-esquibel··on Show HN: Codemap – one-page interactive map of any Go repository
Whats the validation strategy that you used for this? I run a similar project and I found that golden repos were needed to prevent drift. Have you stress tested this to find any limits? I compared my go work to ctags and treesitter for proof of functions found and list precision and recall.

I actually worked really hard on this. I'm feeling kinda low about the response. I know your some random person but if you have constructive criticism, i'm all ears.
joe-esquibel··on Show HN: The DNA of DOOM – How code structure survives across 44 ports
I appreciate that you liked the premise. The repo has my full methodology and data for scrutiny. I thought the voice was alright, just a straight description of the data.
joe-esquibel··on Show HN: Quake ported to safe Rust, playable in browser
I've recently gotten an Oracle in my translation system too, I think it's a common need to compare bytes betwitx to different systems. I didn't think it was specific to one company.
joe-esquibel··on Show HN: HyperCard to HTML Converter
Did you create your own hypercard parser? That's dope. I have been making multi language structural parser, I have some hypercard capabilities. I haven't compared my output to anyone. But I have created ci CD pipelines that contain examples of all the things I want evaluated in all formats I could think, perhaps that would be helpful for your project.
joe-esquibel··on Show HN: Cmdxray – explain any shell command, offline, with a shareable card
What's your plan with the ai maintenance? Do you aim for specific turn around time on issues, etc?
joe-esquibel··on Show HN: Codeknow – Architecture health scores for any codebase, no LLM needed
How do you calculate tech debt? Every code scanner usually has a unique definition based on what they can measure. I'm interested to know what yours is and how you chose it.

...Poppa was a rolling stone...
joe-esquibel··on Show HN: EchoVault, an app that interviews you and answers as you after death
But from what age. I've thought about training an llm to act like me or appraise me as I was using the same Gmail for decades. Like how would I view 20s me versus 30s me.?
joe-esquibel··on Show HN: Inflexa – open-source Intelligence for Biology
So what is provenance and what does your project do?
joe-esquibel··on Show HN: Onboard-CLI, a LLM powered and AST-based tool to visualize codebase
Does this tool work with non compiling code?
joe-esquibel··on Show HN: Hawkeye – local code search for MS/Linux, fast 500k+ file codebase
With your instant claims for file content search, what can you reveal about how you did it? It almost sounds like an O(1) walk for every line, in every file.
joe-esquibel··on Show HN: I built a better GitHub search that rank repos by what matters
What's it rank repos by?
