steezeburger··on Show HN: Ferrite – Markdown editor in Rust with native Mermaid diagram rendering
You can render React all over the place now!
steezeburger··on An SVG is all you need
What's wrong with SVG? Notebooks have their issues but are kinda this conceptually. I guess FLAs and Flash too. But you say we never developed a "client-side multimedia file format". Is that not exactly what html + js are for?
steezeburger··on A years-long Turkish alphabet bug in the Kotlin compiler
I was just saying they didn't do that with ASCII in mind. I was not saying they didn't Latinize.
steezeburger··on A years-long Turkish alphabet bug in the Kotlin compiler
I don’t think that’s the right way to think about it. It’s not like they were Latinizing Turkish with ASCII in mind. They wanted a one-to-one mapping between letters and sounds. The dot versus no dot marks where in your mouth or throat the vowel is formed. They didn’t have this concept that capital I automatically pairs with lowercase i. The dot was always part of the letter itself. The reform wasn’t trying to fit existing Western conventions, it was trying to map the Turkish sounds to symbols.
steezeburger··on Ohno Type School: A (2020)
Ridiculous scroll jacking on mobile. Sure it's quirky but it's also so disorienting I gave up.
steezeburger··on Bat: Cat with syntax highlighting
What thing does MacOS do on first run?
steezeburger··on Slack has raised our charges by $195k per year
Why were you defacto ready to be unsympathetic? Sympathy is my default.
steezeburger··on Hosting a website on a disposable vape
Liberals generally want more regulation what are you talking about and why are you breaking the HN rules?
steezeburger··on We can’t circumvent the work needed to train our minds
There is no evidence that using phones makes teenagers stupid? I see several studies. I feel like you're the one just saying things.
steezeburger··on What Really Caused the Sriracha Shortage? (2024)
It seemed pretty clear to me that Tran started looking for cheaper peppers elsewhere first.
steezeburger··on The life-changing Sarah Paine framework
Conversations with Tyler is incredible
steezeburger··on 30 minutes with a stranger
It's demoralizing because people block you?! That's why you found it demoralizing?! Not for commodifying people's attention?
steezeburger··on Notes on Managing ADHD
Do you mean this because the stimulants can also cause anxiety?
steezeburger··on I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file
There is definitely something to be said for simple file formats augmented with tooling like LLMs and such. I am one of the people who also ended up writing my own todo list app. It really started as a journaling system, but it was super simple to add TODOs. I basically created my own clone of Logseq if anyone is familiar with that. I've basically got what the author has got, but I've automated the part where a fresh page is created each day, and a feature to quickly move undone TODOs to any day.
steezeburger··on The Fed says this is a cube of $1M. They're off by half a million
Those aren't stacks of one dollar bills though.
steezeburger··on The impossible predicament of the death newts
Well you were replying to a comment about why we foraged for them before salt broski. Doesn't really make sense to bring up the price of something that wasn't isolated then.
steezeburger··on The impossible predicament of the death newts
I don't think they had MSG before salt
steezeburger··on Show HN: A free tool to visualize & plan your life timeline
This is cool and I see the use case, but god help my anxiety haha
steezeburger··on Show HN: DoubleMemory – more efficient local-first read-it-later app
This is really cool. I self host a bookmark manager that has extensions and bookmarklets for mobile, but I really love your idea of cmd + c twice. How does it work on iOS? Or is the app just for viewing the bookmarks?

I use ClipMenu to save clipboard history and will often copy a bunch of things one right after the other, and can use other shortcuts to easily select whole lines or expressions in my editor, so time between copy could be as little as 750ms I'd bet. Is the timeout configurable?

steezeburger··on Snappaster – take picture with webcam and put path in clipboard
Just thought I'd share a little utility I wrote that I have found a lot of uses for. I have been using this the most with Claude Code because Claude Code takes the image file path to use the picture.

I have also found success setting `SNAPSHOT_DIR` to a directory in your repo and you can then use this along with ai tools in your editor!

But it doesn't even have to be used with ai. It's just a useful tool for taking a picture and having the file path immediately accessible.

Some of the most useful use cases:

- take image of whiteboard diagram and ask Claude Code to generate a chart in something like mermaid

- making todo lists from handwritten notes

- generating juice recipes from a picture of all the fruit on my counter

- take picture of notes to digitize

- language translation

- plant and insect lookup

- getting estimated macros from a picture of food

Would be useful to make this more cross platform. It only supports MacOS for now! And it's not extremely portable. Requires some deps to be installed. It's all in the README though.

steezeburger··on Spaced repetition memory system (2024)
I'm getting an internal server error on the preview step! But I really like this idea!
steezeburger··on Deno's Decline
How can you possibly realistically manage a 100+ engineer team? 100+ direct reports?

Also, the Python landscape is just as bad as frontend! And I enjoy writing both quite a bit. Pip, pipenv, pyenv, poetry, conda, virtualenv, uv, ruff, black, pep8, etc, etc. They both need massive improvements.

steezeburger··on The game designer playing through his own psyche
I'm going to go out on a limb and say they dislike the manufactured hype.
steezeburger··on The game designer playing through his own psyche
I think it hits harder when you're in high school or early 20s maybe.
steezeburger··on Revolt: Open-Source Alternative to Discord
I agree about the updates, but I'm in a shit ton of servers and performance is fine for me. Can you talk to the issues you've had a bit?
steezeburger··on A Letter to the American People
That's such a dumb thing to think is badass too haha
steezeburger··on Inheriting is becoming nearly as important as working
Same. I've been somewhat Georgist pilled lately.
steezeburger··on AI is killing some companies, yet others are thriving – let's look at the data
Are they just getting more ai bot visits because they're user generated content sites?
steezeburger··on TypeScript types can run DOOM [video]
Oh haha well now I feel dumb. Of course it is! The high pitched sounds are similar to the Batman Beyond intro. I can hear the djenty riffs better now though. Sick video!
steezeburger··on Spotify's Beta Used 'Pirate' MP3 Files, Some from Pirate Bay
Wow I did not know the Spotify dudes came from torrent tech
