Thank you for that, it’s encouraging to hear others can get statically-typed-like quality of life following sound practices

Currently working on a 7-8yr old Python monolith with 500k LOC and overall it’s been far less painful than it would be if it hadn’t been for the gradual adoption of typing and stri…

Personally I’ve been using a similar approach for over a decade where I have 9 desktops on my Mac most of which have fixed windows on them eg 1 for a file explorer, 2 for mail, 3 f…

Thanks for the reply! I think any canonical export format would be valuable and would give users some peace of mind :)

Really like it and kudos on launching. Copying GH permalinks to sections of code is something I do about 30 times a day to augment my Slack posts, GH issues, personal notes, Conflu…

Admittedly poor performance has been my primary gripe in the 7mos I’ve been using LogSeq on a near-daily basis. I dunno whether the issue stems from the usage of Electron or if tex…

I suppose if you never revisit your own notes then yes, there’s no value in these systems. Personally I find myself revisiting old notes rather often for a variety of reasons: - wr…

I used Alfred for years and never thought I’d find a viable replacement for it but Raycast has completely replaced it for me in the past year. The ‘Schedule’ integration with the s…

I’ve been mulling over this one for months now so I thought I’d try and tap into the HN hive-mind. I’m a senior backend SWE at Wolt (so not FAANG-size but sizeable, I think our pro…

I had this idea a couple years back for an app that allows eg a parent to write a short story and have some sort of GAN generate the illustrations for it (hopefully with the abilit…

I’ve been evaluating the Warp terminal emulator as an alternative to iTerm on macOS for a couple months now and they have included a very similar feature to turn an NLP input to a …

I honestly feel that whoever complains about MyGov never had to perform these bureaucratic operations in a country like Greece. The fact that one can interact with some of the bigg…

Excellent writeup indeed. At work we’ve heavily invested in the circuit-breaker pattern [0] following a cascading failure from last year and since then we’ve managed to avoid many …

It's a very nice selection but is there no RSS feed?

One more reason to use this is to use your screen or TV (via Chromecasting or Airplay) as a green screen. I've used this trick a couple times when I wanted to photograph an item or…

As others have mentioned the bottleneck is typically getting a good mobile plan especially if you intend to move around a larger region across borders. The EU has sort of gotten to…

I still think it’s rather interesting as an approach. In fact with that, the potential of creating a DIY ND filter out of welding-glass [1, 2] becomes a little more unnecessarily i…

I’m a big fan of the JetBrains ecosystem which I think has won the IDE wars (given its ubiquity). Once you get comfortable working in one of their tools and configure it to your ne…

Topaz’s GigaPixel AI seems to do a decent job of it if you’re happy to pay for it but iirc it doesn’t do batch

> The Conda package system packages both Python packages and C shared libraries and the Python interpreter into Conda packages. This doesn't sound correct. Conda packages don't act…

I’m ashamed to say that I’ve tried every diet under the sun, including the 16-8 IF and I was failing miserably at it. It’s by no means healthy but turns out I’ve always been an all…

Another tidbit that may be interesting to those that suffer from motion-sickness, especially on boats, that I was taught by sailors in northern norway (was stranded there during th…

For those considering the glasses I can find two versions of them [1] and [2] at 90€ and 80€ respectively (latter on sale). I've never tried them but they're too ugly-looking not t…

Huh haven’t jailbroken my iPhones since my iPhone 5 back in 2014. Back then I feel that iOS was severely limited in functionality and jailbreaking allowed for custom solutions to p…

Oh thanks for the tip on the app! Might come in handy!
