In the same way you can for any digital information?
wizzzzzy··on Affinity Studio now free
To add to this, Davinci Resolve is also great freemium software IMO
wizzzzzy··on Two new PebbleOS watches
Why?
wizzzzzy··on Acorn – Use Laravel Inside WordPress
Having used acorn (via roots sage) on a project recently I'd say on balance it does improve working with Wordpress. I wouldn't describe it as a nice experience though.
wizzzzzy··on Grav is a modern open-source flat-file CMS
I've incidently just completed a headless statamic project that used Astro for the frontend. I'd recommend you check out Astro if you haven't already as dev experiece was great and generally feels a better fit for this usecase over next.

There's plenty of vans that don't have any rear windows
wizzzzzy··on Build full “product skills” and you'll probably be fine
I've found that at some point, the most efficient way to express what you want is to write the code yourself. Anything where you can express what you want fairly easily seems to be where it excels.
wizzzzzy··on Show HN: Timeretain – Track, visualize, and export your hours
Oh wow... it was reading this comment that made me realise it's not called 'TimeTrain'.
wizzzzzy··on Ask HN: Hourly billers, do you bill for only focused work?
Personally I bill by the day and occasionally by half days. I consider 4 hours of focused work to be a full day.
wizzzzzy··on Map, magnetic, and grid north all align in southwest England
This happens to be just down the road from where I live!
wizzzzzy··on Aquila: A unified, low-latency fabric for datacenter networks
Same! Weirdly remember this programme more than most. The episode where it stops working until the dad cleans it specifically!
wizzzzzy··on Kitchen Renovation ideas animation using Stable Diffusion [video]
One thing I'd say as a UI/Web designer is that often you are responding to a unique set of requirements to a specific brand / use case / functionality. I can 100% see how tools like this will influence and redefine the idea phase of a project but at the moment I can't see how it will make the leap from something that looks like a fuzzy representation of an end product to something that IS the end product.
wizzzzzy··on Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
Short games. I'm sure there's plenty I don't know but I would love to play games designed for 1-4 hours play. I just get bored of longer games as they inverably they just get repetative. Games that boast hours and hours of gameplay are generally very boring IMO.

For reference, 'Limbo' is the kind of game that fits the length of game I'm describing.

wizzzzzy··on Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
Also 'the borrowers', as OP makes referrence to
wizzzzzy··on Ask HN: Using Web Components in 2022?
Yeah you're right, I just meant that Lit was the framework I'd been looking at specifically as a means of building Web Components
wizzzzzy··on The problem with Bitcoin miners
Yes but once there's no longer the financial insentive of bitcoin rewarded for mining, fees need to have the same insentive relative to bitcoin market cap? Otherwise double spending becomes the most profitable for miners surely.
wizzzzzy··on The problem with Bitcoin miners
What I don't understand though is once all bitcoins have been mined, doesn't that mean that transaction fees are then also required to be proportional to the bitcoin market cap and electricity usage value?
wizzzzzy··on Ceephax Acid Crew
Same! I'm actually going this year... last time was 2010!
wizzzzzy··on Comparative Illusion
'More people' needs to be compared to a differenet group but the use of 'they' means the 'more people' are being compared to themselves.
wizzzzzy··on The old internet shows signs of quietly coming back
Which Hotline client are you using out of interest? I have nostalgic memories of using Hotline as a teenager and just assumed all clients are now dead in the water.
wizzzzzy··on Ask HN: Staying fit whilst working from home?
I’m using an online yoga studio service ( https://supply.yoga ) which definitely goes someway to filling the void of a physical yoga studio.
wizzzzzy··on Ask HN: Which CMS do you recommend for starting up a blog?
I've been looking at bolt cms recently which looks quite nice. Definately would have a look if simple blog functionality is all you need.
wizzzzzy··on Faker.js guy wants unban from GitHub, claims it was a programming mistake
Mistake of judgement sure, programming mistake not so much.
wizzzzzy··on Show HN: I made a movie recommendation app based on your mood
I was kind of being silly but I do think there's a certain type of film that is particularly enjoyable when hungover. Usually a fairly basic action film that's not too taxing on the brain with plenty of visual stimulus!
wizzzzzy··on Show HN: I made a movie recommendation app based on your mood
Please add a hungover category
wizzzzzy··on Smart sunglasses with lenses displaying real-time data for cyclers
I guess it means you can look where you're going at all times + have the data visible constantly rather than in intermittent glances.
wizzzzzy··on Show HN: Flowbite – Tailwind CSS Components Library
I also was using component tempalte files although the issue was apparent when returning to any component with any degree of complexity. Regular CSS class names tend to give you a bit of an insight into the role of each div whereas atomic css requires you to parse each line to understand it's role which gets a bit tiring after a while. I tried extracting the strings of atomic class names to variables as a sort of hybrid approach but in the end it felt more or less like emulating 'normal' CSS. I'm sure different projects would fair better though with an atomic approach though.
wizzzzzy··on Show HN: Flowbite – Tailwind CSS Components Library
I got interested in atomic CSS a few years ago and used it on numerous projects for over a year. In the end I actually found the real world application of it a step backwards. What you gain in getting up and running quickly you loose in maintainability in my experience.

Ah Thanks, thats interesting.
wizzzzzy··on Show HN: Side project passed $2.5k/mo revenue after 2 years (Phoenix and Vue)
This looks great. Just wondering if you can share any details on what hosting / architecture you're running this on? Is each user's space running in it's own container or everything in the same DB for example?
