This makes no sense.

I think if you're doing HN for karma, you're doing it wrong.

Are you thinking of Tibia?

We had an optics lab at the Faculty of Engineering, Lund University about the idea behind the FlatFrog display system back in 2014 (I think) and I remember thinking it was genius.

It bothers me immensely that they redirect docs for services that work perfectly fine by themselves to amplify docs with a note that says something like "use amplify". Other than t…

One of the best tips I have gotten from the internet is to never copy and paste code you have not written yourself. Even rewriting it verbatim makes you think about what it is you …

You could use GitHub issues for posts and comments, fetched using the GitHub API. I did a proof of concept of this a long time ago [0]. Not sure if it still works. [0] https://gith…

Something like the Live Trace tool in Illustrator but for simple shapes? Would be really interesting to try to build that.

Ironically, your comment is a good example of ”creative” storytelling.
