kidfiji··on Curiosity Traps
Yep, was about to go here and say the same thing :)
kidfiji··on DeepSeek banned from U.S. federal civilian agencies under new DHS order
Please excuse my lack of full context, but if the weights are open and the model can be self hosted, what’s the actual security risk for that case? Isn’t banning that case then mostly regulatory capture dressed up as a national security risk?
kidfiji··on Donaldson Futuro House in Idyllwild, California, USA
Ahh, funnily enough while flipping through channels on my TV I randomly saw another one of these featured on some TV show about renovating Airbnbs. The one in this article is much more tastefully decorated
kidfiji··on The sale of Electronic Arts has been finalized
Didn't realize gameswashing was a thing like sportswashing, but here we are

Well it's surely not only his doing
kidfiji··on Curveball

kidfiji··on Box3D, an open source 3D physics engine
I remember reading about it in S&Box's (Source-2-based game engine) blog a while back - glad to see it released out to the public!

It's less about "can't do" and more about creativity :)

Thanks, I needed this. A friendly reminder to stop getting into my own head and just do the thing :)

Ah, so that’s probably why YouTube is also down (at the time of this comment)

Check out Firewalla if your interest roots in tinkering :)

I think it's more revealing of how they've been playing the long game
kidfiji··on How a 20 year old bug in GTA San Andreas surfaced in Windows 11 24H2
I know there’s an XKCD comic about this
kidfiji··on Stimulation Clicker
It falls under the category of "incremental games" that are generally simple but addicting due to the dopamine release from watching those numbers go up
kidfiji··on Joplin is an open source note-taking app
I think in a lot of cases it's a means of monetizing an app where everything else is essentially free/full-featured without being behind a paywall
kidfiji··on Ship faster by building design systems slower (2023)
On the other hand, some companies really value design, or perhaps even find value out of good design :)

Hello! I'm Luke, a frontend software engineer with ~6+ years of experience. My career spans companies of various sizes, from enterprise to startup, and varied industries including blockchain, automotive, and e-commerce. I geninunely enjoy what I do and am open to any opportunities where I can continue to learn, build, and share knowledge :)

kidfiji··on Ask HN: What's your "it's not stupid if it works" story?
Thanks for sharing, again - I was just curious. That's a fair statement indeed :)
kidfiji··on Ask HN: What's your "it's not stupid if it works" story?
Out of sheer curiosity, could you name this game?
kidfiji··on Ask HN: What open-source alternative is there for Canva?
Not necessarily like Canva, but more similar to Figma is Penpot, if it may interest you:

kidfiji··on AV1 video codec gains broader hardware support
As someone who also has a 2019 Shield TV Pro and is waiting for the "next best thing", one resource I've been keeping my eye on is androidtv-guide.com:

kidfiji··on WordPress Playground: A WordPress that runs entirely in the browser
Although it isn't open source, Webflow seems to be the current most popular thing for that specific niche (low/no-code platform for designers)
kidfiji··on A redstone PC in Minecraft to play Minecraft inside Minecraft (2022)
This isn't running in real-time, per note from the creator in the YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BP7DhHTU-I):

---

Would like to clarify a few things:

- This build does NOT run in real time. It runs on MCHPRS, the server developed by StackDoubleFlow, which speeds up the game roughly 10-20,000x while running redstone. That brings the framerate to a much more reasonable 0.1fps, so the long timelapses in the video only took 9 hours to record in total.

- The world download currently in the description is non-functional for two reasons: in order to prevent content thieves such as Steveee immediately stealing it and making a profit, and also because Uwerta and I are currently improving the GUI system to be more similar to normal Minecraft (there's some dissimilarity in how items are moved around in the inventory). I'll update this comment when we release a functional download.

- If you want to learn more about how it works, a brief explanation video is in the description, and that one has links to all the documentation including flowcharts for the GPU and other hardware, and the entire (commented) program itself.

kidfiji··on An open-source mouse and trackpad utility for Mac
Love the per-device configuration. I was using Scroll Reverser, but it looks like I'll be using this now. Thank you :)
