mike31fr··on Show HN: A native macOS client for Hacker News, built with SwiftUI
Side note:

Simon Halvdansson runs "Harmonic", an Android client for Hacker News, I am using it daily for 2+ years and I sincerely recommend it.

I even asked him a feature (mark a story as read), and he implemented it shortly after.

Shout-out to you Simon!

mike31fr··on Alan.app – Add a Border to macOS Active Window
Seems nice but I'm afraid it would not be compatible with my main work setup: VS Code on my main monitor, my web browser on my external monitor, and my eyes going back and forth between these 2 windows every few seconds to either read code or check the effects on the hot-reloading app. If one of the windows is dimmed, it would be painful.

With eval rate numbers:

- phi4: 12 tokens/s

- mistral-small: 9 tokens/s

On Nvidia RTX 4090 laptop:

- phi4: 36 tokens/s

- mistral-small: 16 tokens/s

Running it on a MacBook with M1 Pro chip and 32 GB of RAM is quite slow. I expected to be as fast as phi4 but it's much slower.

Got it, thank you!

Ok, the "View all" option in the dropdown is what I missed! Thanks!

Noob question (I only learned how to use ollama a few days ago): what is the easiest way to run this DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B model that is not listed on ollama (or any other non-listed model) on my computer ?

TESTED:

1. Create a file with 1 million lines:

  for i in {1..1000000}; do echo "Line $i: This is a test of terminal performance."; done > bigfile.txt
2. cat the file and see how much time it takes:

  time cat bigfile.txt
RESULTS:

- iterm2: 3.5s

- Default macOS terminal: 2.3s

- Ghostty: 1.8s

Have you ever experienced vim being slow? If so, would you know how I could reproduce this?
mike31fr··on Ghostty 1.0
Many people here seem impressed about speed/performance. I have been using all sorts of terminals / emulators over the past 20 years and it never occurred to me a terminal can be slow. When I type a command, I just get the result instantaneously, for any terminal. What are the use cases that can make a terminal be slow?

mike31fr··on Missing Henry VIII portrait found after random X post
It's funny to notice that the english language borrowed the word "connaisseur" from the french language but randomly changed the "a" to an "o" for whatever reason. In case you're wondering how it's related to the parent comment, "Connoisseur" is the title of the xkcd link.

> Remotion is pretty good, but we didn’t want to rely on it as it is not FOSS (source-available only).

Noob question : How would you explain in the simplest form the difference between FOSS and source-available. In other words, what does Remotion do not have that would make it FOSS?

mike31fr··on 2D Rigid Body Collision Resolution
I don't know anything about licences, but no problem, help yourself, take the code, do whatever you want with it, sell it if you want, I would be pleased. Let me know what you built with it, it would be nice for me to see my code used in a game :)
mike31fr··on 2D Rigid Body Collision Resolution
I had fun building a TypeScript demo about this topic, involving balls that can bounce and collide. I learned a lot.

Code: https://github.com/vandrieu/canvas-bouncing-ball (the collision logic is in src/collision.ts)

mike31fr··on WhatsApp forces Pegasus spyware maker to share its secret code
This is called extraterritoriality.

Crazy stories happened here in France.

USA basically sent Alstom, a huge French company, to bankruptcy, then bought it for pennies, and then they tried to destroy Airbus. In both cases they used this right they gave themselves they call extraterritoriality.

The stories I mentioned are documented in this reportage: https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/093798-000-A/la-bataille-d-air...

The video used to be available on YouTube at the following url : https://youtu.be/Sa22eu1FWyo but it seems it was set to private. Annoying revelations?

mike31fr··on Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage
Thank you so much! It really helps. My data is on a Synology NAS. It seems B2 buckets support is built into the Hyper Backup Synology software (the one whose purpose it to perform backups), I'm not sure if I am going to chose that or Rclone. But I already found some resources (https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/hsy29y/hyper_back...), I'll investigate that. Do you, by chance, also perform your backups from a Synology NAS?
mike31fr··on Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage
An item on my todo list reads "Setup a backup system using Borg". I didn't know about Rclone but it seems very good, so now I want to rename my todo list item as "Setup a backup system using Rclone". How would you compare these 2 solutions?
mike31fr··on Wikipedia daily most viewed pages
Here is something crazy:

In France the "Cookies" Wikipedia article is always ranked 1st for most months of 2023, with a ridiculous amount times more views (x10, x100,...) than the 2nd one. It doesn't really make sense.

mike31fr··on Show HN: Heynote – A dedicated scratchpad for developers
Units handling in maths blocks is awesome.

Exemple 1:

g = 9.81 m/s^2

time = 60s

Then "g*time" shows "588.6 m / s"

Exemple 2:

energy = 14 J

distance = 5m

"energy/distance" shows "2.8 N"

Wow.

EDIT: I just found out that behind the scenes it's using maths.js. This library does this natively. Input "14J/5m" into maths.js and you get "2.8 N" as output. Glad I discovered this library.
