replwoacause··on RapidRAW: A non-destructive and GPU-accelerated RAW image editor
Played with Nitro this morning and compared my edits to those that came out of Lightroom and my camper manufacture’s RAW software and am very happy with the results. It has a user friendly interface, which I prefer to Lightroom’s, and I love that it’s a one time purchase. Thanks for the recommendation

Couldn’t you have just restricted the app to being installable on only certain iPhone models?
replwoacause··on Social anxiety disorder-associated gut microbiota increases social fear
I hear this often and am curious about it, as someone with an ADHD-PI diagnosis who has taken nearly every med, ranging from Ritalin, Adderall, Vyvanse, Dexedrine, to Strattera and possibly others I can't recall over the past 20 years. I've never felt like any of them had any lasting effect on my anxiety or depression. They all give a temporary relief of some of these symptoms while the drug is in my system, but I always return to baseline, which results in a roller coaster effect. Strattera may have been the exception because its not a stimulant like the others but ultimately it didn't address issues with motivation so I stopped it. I would love something that successfully addressed ADHD+anxiety+depression. And yes, I exercise, get 8 hours of sleep on average, eat pretty good, and don't live a stressful live.

Sounds pretty useless
replwoacause··on Apple introduces a universal design across platforms
That’s it. I’m finally switching to Linux and Android.

Tbh I’ll be doing the same thing when my devices get this update. It’s inscrutable. Tap tap tap….taptaptaptaptapTAPTAP!!!

My eyes don’t know where to focus. Everything runs together.
replwoacause··on What methylene blue can (and can’t) do for the brain
Probably because you can buy it at a dish supply store like I did almost 20 years ago.
replwoacause··on What methylene blue can (and can’t) do for the brain
Excellent summary. As someone who has taken both and spent an inordinate amount of time on Longecity, this is pretty spot on.
replwoacause··on Bill Atkinson has died
Did that single experience with mushrooms change you forever, or was your insight transient?
replwoacause··on [dead]
That’s what happens when you let someone spun out on ketamine into government and then let them and a cadre of 20 year olds take a slash and burn approach.

Update: Using it through the API is fine. Maybe this was a bug on the claude.ai website. It's been working fine in my IDE.
replwoacause··on Ask HN: Why reinvent front-end frameworks and static site builders?
I’m doing this exact thing now with a web framework. For me, it comes down to tailor making it to the way I want to build. In some cases this is for efficiency, in others it’s ergonomics. And it’s also a rewarding process to create the tool and then use it to build with.
replwoacause··on Run a C# file directly using dotnet run app.cs
BS. There are dozens of us ;)

As someone just getting into C# from PowerShell, this is huge.

I love PowerShell. It’s amazing the things I’ve been able to accomplish with it. Hands down my favorite language.
replwoacause··on Gurus of 90s Web Design: Zeldman, Siegel, Nielsen
Whoa you weren’t kidding. Right from the first paragraph on the main page: “Humans are not destroying Earth or the climate. The widespread belief in anthropogenic warming is the result of political idealism, bad science, faulty data, social psychopathy, and greed. There is no climate emergency. The Apocalyptic climate narrative is a seriously misleading propaganda tool and a socially destructive guide for public policy.”

What a loon

Great article, a nice trip down memory lane. I still have my copy of “The Zen of CSS Design: Visual Enlightenment for the Web” somewhere. I know Dave Shea wasn’t mentioned, but this book was my intro into design on the earlyish web.
replwoacause··on Show HN: Malai – securely share local TCP services (database/SSH) with others
Yes it does, thanks for explaining.
replwoacause··on Show HN: Malai – securely share local TCP services (database/SSH) with others
Malai website says it is created by FifthTry. On the FifthTry website is says you are backed by Y Combinator: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/fifthtry

But it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the current company? Are you a Notion-like editor still? Because the editor section of the site says “coming soon” even though your YC page says you were in the Winter 2021 batch. I guess I’m not really clear on any of this and how it relates to Malai.

Damn. Am I alone here in thinking Sonnet 4 is NOTICEABLY worse at coding than 3.7? Like, the amount of mistakes and gaslighting telling me it did something it obviously didn't do is off the charts. Switching back to 3.7 for all code for now, this thing aint ready for prime time yet.

For context, I am using it on claude.ai, specifically the artifacts. Maybe something is broken there because they don't update when chat says they do. Took me about 10 turns to convince it: "You're absolutely right! I see the problem - the artifact isn't showing my latest updates correctly."

replwoacause··on Show HN: I made a word puzzles app for improving your English vocabulary
Oh ok maybe that’s why it didn’t make sense to me, it’s a British colloquialism I’m not familiar with as an American.

Hmm, weird questions

"Question: Find the word matching the following definition: Extremely or very much."

My Attempt: "sufficient"

Actual answer: "jolly"

huh??

replwoacause··on GitHub Copilot Coding Agent
Thanks. I wonder what model they're using under the hood? I have such a good experience working with Cline and Claude Sonnet 3.7 and a comparatively much worse time with anything Github offers. These PRs are pretty consistent with the experience I've had in the IDE too. Incidentally, what has MSFT done to Claude Sonnet 3.7 in VSCode? It's like they lobotomized it compared to using it through Cline or the API directly. Trying to save on tokens or something?
replwoacause··on Have I Been Pwned 2.0
I felt the exact same way. Especially because I saw my email had been registered and leaked by some seedy looking conservative news site full of Trump propaganda. I always knew people could sign others up for junk "malicious subscriptions" and suspected that is what happened when I would get this trash in my inbox, but now seeing that other people can also see it very publicly is disturbing. How are they to know I didn't sign up for this myself? I'd hate to think people were thinking that about me.

EDIT: Seems like https://haveibeenpwned.com/OptOut does the trick.

The site is beautiful... and fast too.
replwoacause··on Show HN: Basecoat – shadcn/UI components, no React required
Looks nice! Can you add a CDN option? Would be nice for a quick start to play around.

Also, reminds me of https://franken-ui.dev

replwoacause··on A flat pricing subscription for Claude Code
Anthropic's pricing is crazy IMO. Still haven't tried the Code product because of it.

Looks impressive
