sunsetMurkon Show HN: BetterWispr – Free, open-source dictation for Mac

I actually like this about talking vs. typing. often I feel like I get better results since I think give it more context around spec and decisions.

sunsetMurkon Your job is to deliver code you have proven to work

Acceptance criteria are often buggy themselves, and require more context to interpret and develop a solution.

sunsetMurkon Show HN: Rift – A tiling window manager for macOS

Divvy has a pretty UI to choose the size and location of windows, and puts little buttons in the top corner of windows to change their size and location.

Rectangle provides hot keys and an icon in the menu bar to set window size and location.

I use rectangle now, but have used divvy in the past and I think is better for people who like to use their mouse vs hot keys.

sunsetMurkon Ask HN: What's the one feature you'd want in a GitHub productivity tool?

Have you used this? What’s your experience like?

I’m looking for ‘a tool’ like this to help manage code changes and communicating about those releases across a set of github repos.

conceptually, I get it.

sunsetMurkon Show HN: Private, text to entity-relationship diagram tool

ditto, GPT-4 is very impressive with all types of mermaid [0] diagrams! even helps w/ styling and formatting tweaks. It's helped me so much with better coverage and maintainability on diagrams for software & systems projects.

sunsetMurkon The most popular chess streamer on Twitch

I wish I could provide a useful summary, but I had it on while I was prepping for a meeting so I wasn't really paying attention. I was more surprised at my timing of seeing it on HN, searching for his twitch profile, and then right then he was going through the article I had open in another tab.

I think if you're a subscriber (I'm not) you can replay his stream from earlier.

I do remember he said somethings like...

> 'the chess stuff that they're talking about isn't 100% accurate, but close enough. No one will know/care about that who's reading the article'

> 'it seems the things they're quoting they've pulled from previous streams'

He's live right now[1] going through this New Yorker article line-by-line.

sunsetMurkon Ukraine calls on hacker underground to defend against Russia

Sometimes it's less about the size of the payload and more about # of requests. Especially when targeting the application layer.

sunsetMurkon Show HN: Snipd – AI podcast player to highlight and take notes with transcripts

neat! I'm going to try it. I wonder if I can import my subscriptions from Castro? And, I wonder if there is anything similar to the queue feature to always have a custom-curated list of fresh episodes to listen to.

My only feedback before downloading... the video demo[1] (ironically for a podcast app>) has an unpleasant voiceover, the woman needs a drink of water! Content-wise it's great but I was distracted by the almost ASMR-like experience of feeling like she was very close to my ear, and I didn't like it.

sunsetMurkon Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?

sunsetMurkon $8000 of SHIB coin is worth $5.7b (in 400 days)

it's a sad club we're in. Occasionally I even go to bitinfocharts.com and look at my wallet that I will never have access to. Wonderful!

sunsetMurkon Shadow Simulator – run real applications over a simulated Internet topology

sounds fun - any links handy on how to have fun w/ this sort of thing on a 'hello world' level?

sunsetMurkon One woman's struggle to remove all traces of videotaped sexual assault

Can you elaborate a bit more?

I’m very curious because I think the existence and availability of porn and the sex industry is very important for the well-being of lots of people. Definitely some problems.. but I’d parallel those to problems with prohibition and suppression.

Have you always held this opinion? Are you religious?

sunsetMurkon Reddit is banning any Aimee Challenor mention. UK public figure and Reddit admin

sunsetMurkon Google Analytics Opt Out

I would love to observe you browsing and consuming web content for a day. Sounds like this sort of thing would make it much more laborious. That being said.. could be a good thing for me to not spend so much time watching dumb YouTube videos, and reading "fun" articles.

sunsetMurkon CEO of Uber: Gig Workers Deserve Better

Do you have any links to articles/discussions about this proposed direction?

I'm pretty sure I agree... and would like to further develop my opinion about ~this stuff.

It's so dumb for an individual to go bankrupt from a random health issue and/or pay a ton of money each month for "insurance" that is basically useless; and also dumb for an employer to be responsible or in control of anything having to do with an individual's health care decisions.
