sacredSatan··on Americans still opt for print books over digital or audio versions
I like the convenience of ebooks but the physical feel of paperback is unmatched.

I can still remember where I was when I read a certain book or even a chapter in case of a physical book. With my kindle it's a blur to me.

I also like to see my bookmark gradually make its way down the book over time.

sacredSatan··on Is Claude Code 5x Cheaper Than Cursor?
I think that may be comparing cc against opus with cursor. This post compares against Auto+Composer pool. It does mention that if you used a frontier model then the gap would be even wider.
sacredSatan··on Show HN: Claude Code skills that build complete Godot games
Thanks for not cherry picking the output. The demos look great for a single prompt output. I can see myself playtesting a mechanic that I just thought of but would probably take longer to implement in my own WIP game etc.

I think this has great value just now, can't wait for it to get better. Keep at it.

Amazing achievement! I just wanted to point out that the linked blog page has an incorrect publish date. It says "Published: 12/15/2024"
sacredSatan··on Cormac McCarthy's tips on how to write a science paper (2019) [pdf]
I agree about clarity, so this is just an aside but that's what makes it a fun experience for me. It's unlike reading anyone else (although I haven't read many authors). I'd say no country for old men was still pretty straightforward, but I had to re-read sentences and whole paragraphs with blood meridian.

The work makes it worth it, makes it that much more rewarding to me personally. It's like choosing to play a difficult videogame, because you know once you overcome it, it'll be great.

sacredSatan··on Figma will IPO on July 31
That makes a lot of sense, my bad. I didn't pick up on the presentation part, even after I included the term in my comment. "Present" directly took me to sharing your screen.

About collaborative presentation, can't you click on the user icon (usually top right) for whoever's leading and figma will follow the screen to their cursor?

I distinctly remember that it's possible in Miro, and I'm pretty sure figma too. I think the problem you bring up has been pretty much solved.

sacredSatan··on Scrollbars are becoming a problem
I hate that MacOS hides scrollbars by default. First thing I do when I setup a MacBook is to set it to always show scrollbars.

It is not exactly what you're looking for but this might be a middle ground. It does let you delete things, but after a certain length, you can't do it anymore.

sacredSatan··on Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
You might have a typo on the Ensō homepage.

>Ensō works perfectly fine even without internet connecton.

hah, editing to say that I really liked it. I'm stress a lot about how I phrase things and am very conscious about how concise am I when when I'm writing for an audience.

For me that site has been Lorem pixel. I thought of it as soon as I read the title. Haven't used it in a while so not sure if it is any good now.

Nevermind, it is down. I just thought that the name was pretty cool and always remembered it.
