rmuratovon Microsoft fixes a Windows 11 annoyance as PC revenue declines

I feel like, in the spirit of gaming’s return to its roots (WoW Classic, League of Legends Classic), Microsoft should give Windows a soft relaunch, call it something like Windows Classic, and bring together the best of Windows XP, 7, and 10, with a consistent UI, familiar interaction patterns built up over decades, and so on.

rmuratovon Sites in ChatGPT

rmuratovon The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe

This won't happen until Microsoft Word is available on Linux.

It's like the console wars — different camps say "our console is better, it has more teraflops." In reality, nobody cares about that — buyers will get the console that has the games.

rmuratovon Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?

https://sourcemap.tools/

It helps decipher JS error stack traces by applying source maps to them. In my previous company, we struggled to configure Sentry to work with source maps, and every error message was cryptic due to minification. First, I created a little command line utility and later made it a web app.

Just some charts to summarize my monthly finance activity based on hldger journal.

https://sourcemap.tools/

A tool to unminify JavaScript stack traces. You paste your stack trace and provide source maps, and it deciphers your stack trace and allows you to find the origin of an error.

rmuratovon Show HN: Paisa – Open-Source Personal Finance Manager

> only works on previously seen words

Yes, that's just it. I do not use anything like a language server.

rmuratovon Show HN: Paisa – Open-Source Personal Finance Manager

I did nothing. It just works out of the box for me.

But. I keep my journal files in a folder and open it using the VS Code project file.

File's name is ledger.code-workspace

{ "folders": [{ "path": "/path/to/journal/directory" }] }

rmuratovon Show HN: Paisa – Open-Source Personal Finance Manager

I use hledger and I enter everything by hand.

I used to dread it too. But actually, in normal life, the volume of daily transactions is not that large. Besides, filling out a journal disciplines you. And VS Code does autocomplete for accounts and payees.

I believe it's the opposite - more publishers will consider porting to Mac.

Previously, you could only play on desktop Macs with a discrete graphics card. But now there is a M1 Macbook with powerful graphics out of the box. And the install base is pretty big.

But it only will happen with the help from Apple. We already see the first attempts - Death Stranding will be available natively on M1 Macs.

rmuratovon Fighting for the open web [image]

When something doesn't work, I think, "Let me guess, this only works on Chrome, right?". And too many times recently, I am right.

As a tech-savvy person, I can handle it, but my old parents can't. I do not now the right thing to do here.

rmuratovon It doesn’t take much public creativity to stand out as a job candidate

I thought the same. But now I'm looking for a job, and I regret that I don't have a polished project on GitHub that I could show. You don't have to code for another three hours after work, but doing one or two projects on GitHub doesn't hurt. It's relatively easy and adds many points when looking for a job.
