The way I imagine it is like the calendars are both rulers that are slightly off from each other. We were using one ruler, and at a certain point we went from using one to the othe…

It's interesting that we're so used to the GUI buttons having that specific behavior of only triggering when releasing, even if you exit and enter the button area while holding the…

That's not true, there's a lot to be done on the exterior as well, the main entrance is not even finished yet. The big achievement that happened recently is they completed the towe…

Going from 32 bits to 64 bits doesn't double the range (that would be adding 1 bit), it squares the range.

What's the experience with Font Forge for creating pixel fonts? I have never used it but I always assumed that a font creation tool made for arbitrary style "vector" fonts is proba…

I made PixelForge [0] a while ago just for creating pixel fonts and being able to export to TTF. I had it semi-abandoned for a few years, but I'm about to release a new version in …

I think you're reading way too much into that comment. Sometimes questions are just questions out of curiosity, not accusations of the opposite.

Having lived with a cat that had been in the streets for months before being adopted, and a different cat that had always lived indoors, I think that's the main difference in behav…

The quick way I'd solve that is to open any program window (like calculator or whatever), mark it as being on top of other windows, and resize it and place it on top of that area. …

It reminds me a bit of this post from the Facebook engineering blog (2015) [1] where they discuss embedding a very tiny preview of images into the html itself so they show immediat…

Any interesting insights about using Godot with C#? I love C# and I'm happy using it in Godot even though it's not as seamless as in Unity: in Godot 4 we still can't export to Web …

I'm assuming this is the same (or evolved) Lazy Tetris that you posted some weeks ago, with the name changed because of their trademark, right? I was wondering why it had disappear…

In Unity3D Game Engine, "Yellow" as a named color is not #ffff00 but #ffeb04, the documentation says "RGBA is (1, 0.92, 0.016, 1), but the color is nice to look at!". I bet this bi…

Somebody liked Saturn enough to put a ring on it.

It's not about the time it takes to say "hello" back. It's about synchronization steps. What if I don't see the first message right away (i might not see the notification, or I was…

Given that you just care about 4 digit codes (so you don't actually care about a generic algorithm that's not super slow in asymptotic time), can't you just solve it with an easy t…

Jake Seliger was an active HN user [1], and there were a bunch of highly voted and commented posts about his situation here, among others: Jul 22, 2023: I am dying of squamous cell…

I suspect it's because they don't want you to focus on the past, only the present. Or maybe it's because it would either highlight how irrelevant the change is, or how annoying the…

In the real world you almost never hear something on one ear but not the other. Even if something is on your left, your right ear still hears it (differences in timing and volume i…

I have an extra suggestion: Maybe some keyboard key mapping, like up/down for switching the channel. I'm imagining having this perma-running in a small PC connected to a TV and the…

I'd echo the sentiment that this is amazing, and that a TV guide would be awesome. I'd also suggest maybe adding the channel names (like the comment you posted here) to the app its…

He was an active HN user and a writer, he had a very active blog for many years, and he and his wife had been documenting their struggles during his disease; some of those articles…

I've been reading your writings for a few months and I can assure you that you're on a lot of strangers' minds, passively making positive change in other people. I wish all the bes…

That's so cool! I can imagine it kind of feels like when you have a wheel that you can turn with your fingers and it kind of "snaps" into place at regular intervals, like your body…
