obiwanpallav1··on Visualizing Large Trees Using the Hyperbolic Browser (2021) [video]
Has someone implemented this for creating a sitemap for a website user(and not for the crawlers)?
obiwanpallav1··on Zellij: A terminal workspace with batteries included
Just like the CSS Grid template layout, chaakoo[1] can break the tmux windows into panes based on a 2D layout.

Screenshots in the README!

I've been using `Apprentice` theme

Has been a great experience so far

obiwanpallav1··on Ichi.city
I was thinking about it as well. It provides a carefree holiday sort of feeling similar to the old postcards. Very much similar to the West Indies cricket board logo.

obiwanpallav1··on What do I need to read to be a CSS dev?
Being a backend developer, I've always assumed CSS to be magical.

Recently I needed to learn CSS to make my website viewable, so I started with w3schools. But the pace was too slow, and it made me search for other alternatives. A good amount of SEO friendly sites containing the list of best CSS books suggested `CSS In Depth - Keith J. Grant`. With low hopes, I thought to give it a try just for a day but it did not disappoint me. Being a CSS noob I liked the way `Layout` concept was presented. It started with `float` and ended with `grid` with a couple of chapters in between dedicated to `flex` and other techniques. Then it picks up responsive design. The concepts were presented in such a way that it became a responsibility for me to replicate whatever the author has done in the chapters. It was a satisfactory experience.

Afterward, it presents the transition and animation related concepts which I read but I've forgotten because of not using them in day to day work.

obiwanpallav1··on Show HN: Slice and dice your TMUX windows and panes using Chaakoo
Hi Folks,

I've created a Go based tool, named Chaakoo, for creating TMUX windows and panes based on a configured layout. The idea here is inspired by the CSS grid template areas.

The attempt here is to save ~5 minutes everyday by offloading the startup related TMUX work to Chaakoo.

Please do checkout the README[1] to try it out.

obiwanpallav1··on Discipline by King Crimson
Robert Fripp released a new playlist, in youtube[1], named Music For Quiet Moments. It is an instrumental album and quoting from the description:

` Robert Fripp's "Music for Quiet Moments" series. We will be releasing an ambient instrumental soundscape online every week for 50 weeks. Something to nourish us, and help us through these Uncertain Times. `

obiwanpallav1··on Whoogle Search: A self-hosted, ad-free, privacy-respecting metasearch engine
Thanks for the info!

One question: Let's assume that I've added Firefox containers and instructed it to open every tab in a new container. If I open a link from the Google search result in a new tab(that is inside a new container) then can Google still trace the flow because the opened links are from Google and not the actual search result and it may contain the tracking info?

obiwanpallav1··on Whoogle Search: A self-hosted, ad-free, privacy-respecting metasearch engine
I did not understand the last sentence. If I solve the captchas, get the search results and then do the cleanup, it'll just continuously ask for the captchas and that's the only added pain, no? Will they be able to conclude if all the requests are coming from the same user?
obiwanpallav1··on Whoogle Search: A self-hosted, ad-free, privacy-respecting metasearch engine
Side question:

If I can just instruct the browser to delete the sessions, cookies, localstorage, etc. after I close a Google search tab, then would it require us to self host Whoogle? This considers that I'll never login to Google using that browser and 3rd party cookies are disabled.

Or, can Google still recognize me?

obiwanpallav1··on Golang.org will be merged into go.dev
I read somewhere that Go engineering team wanted go.org instead of golang.org but they couldn't get it as it was not for sale. [Can't find the source of this info though]

Also, the questions that contained `Golang` in the title and description @ Stackoverflow were edited to contain `Go` instead by the users with edit description being "Name of the language is Go and not Golang". That's when I thought why didn't they use go.co or go.com or any domain name having go instead of golang.

I'm not a very inspired Go user but have always loved their simplicity(the language) and carefulness(the way we moved to Go mod) and due to this I've always read their Release notes and blogs with the favorite one being Profiling Go Programs[1].

obiwanpallav1··on Show HN: Reddit clone built in no-code in two weeks
I wanted to try it out but the page keeps on loading.

Maybe that's the final stage because there is no-code, so nothing will be shown.

obiwanpallav1··on Billions in 'unknown' funds flowing into Canada's housing market [video]
This[1] video by ColdFusion talks about a similar problem in the US in which Housing market is now being seen as the next big bet by the Wall Street Firms.

In this scheme, a common man will not be able to buy/own any house but they can only rent it. It will be very similar to SaaS model in which Houses will be provided as a service.

What are/was the effects of GDPR in EU? Also, did it lead to a huge increase in the spendings for MasterCard?
obiwanpallav1··on Sub-zero water splitting marks a new dawn for solar hydrogen production
How will it impact the current Solar energy sector?

Two of the major pain points were the erratic weather refusing to generate energy because of sun's availability and the storage of energy for particularly those cold areas where it was expected that entire energy for an year can be saved inside the batteries that can be generated in 2-2.5 months.

obiwanpallav1··on Copilot and Conversational Programming
This is what I understood:

There are two side of a programmer a. Intellectual - The one who solves a problem by design discussions and creating mental model of the solution. b. Robotic - The one who actually types the code, tests it, makes it free of issues and deploys it.

Just like the deployment part is taken care of by the CI/CD pipelines now, the CoPilot now attempts to automate the "typing code" part in a different way than the IDEs have approached.

obiwanpallav1··on Ask HN: What Are You Learning?
I took the Coursera's Machine Learning course in 2017 just because I had some time then. But I didn't work on any related project, back to square one now. A few weeks back I started to revise the course but it's appears to be boring because I know that I've done it already and I feel that I'll forget it once again.

Can you please share how you started and the projects you worked on?

obiwanpallav1··on Ask HN: What Are You Learning?
Nice list! Can you share your resources for Graphics Design?

obiwanpallav1··on Casbin: An authorization library that supports authz models like ACL, RBAC, ABAC
It was a separate service. The other service, that was using it, was a monolith.
obiwanpallav1··on Casbin: An authorization library that supports authz models like ACL, RBAC, ABAC
I had a nice experience in building a multi tenant system in which RBAC was done by Openpolicy Agent(OPA)[0].

Our data model was N Level hierarchies of entities for each tenant and these hierarchies followed inheritance for roles.

We made some policies in OPA and the membership data was present in the DB which was sent to OPA at startup. Then any diff made in membership was subsequently also sent to the OPA as well.

This definitely looks great!

Thanks!
obiwanpallav1··on India downgraded from ‘free’ to ‘partly free’ in democracy report
The website link doesn't work and the term "Himalayan Reconfiguration" doesn't provide any contextual search results. Kolkata is a pretty populous city. Along with "Himalayan Reconfiguration" the people there can come up with "Andes Reconfiguration" and "Rocky Reconfiguration" as well. Please don't add comments like this to market the divisive ideas enveloped inside the pseudo armchair philosophy.
obiwanpallav1··on Open source projects should run office hours
So, the future users/contributors can personally talk to the owner/maintainer of the OSS projects. This is good for both the parties. The owner/maintainer can get a huge set of idea/directions to take forward along with instilling some confidence in their users. This idea seems great to me.

Also, this looks vaugely similar to the Pre Sales/Sales call as well.
