Love this! Small bug but when changing files, it doesn't reset to position 0 in the file (at least on Firefox on Win11).

Re: Linux Kernel Explorer
#42This looks amazing. Took me some time to find the author (https://fabiomaia.eu). Will drop a message to ask if it'd be possible to have a similar tool for Python. I find it useful to teach new engineers how to find the source code in the cpython repository, check if the code is Python or C, and understand what the code does (some times the docs are a bit lacking/confusing for newcomers).

see also Pi, the movie, although it's more about numbers and the Kabbalah :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_(film)
Long-time HN lurker here! Was excited to see this discussion around my major interests of Talmud, Kabbalah, and tech. There are a lot of misconceptions and mystique surrounding the Talmud. I'd like to take the opportunity to clarify some fundamental aspects, as relates to the discussion here: The famous "Talmud page" (discussed in the links in the parent comment) was set by a Christian printer in the 16th century. It…
That's awesome!! Thank you very much! I would have next asked you, what do you think of those apps for studying the Talmud, https://www.sefaria.org/app et al, but in those links you already mention it. Looking forward to reading these, thanks!

#44Were the quiz questions generated by a human or AI?
The very first sentence of the guide is "It's not X—it's Y. It does Z". Safe to assume the entire thing is AI generated.

Why not create your own? This is as wild as open-source expectations of a speedy implementation, addressing issues quickly, etc. Folks always want more and more.
Re: Linux Kernel Explorer
#46How is this different from https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux
It's a better navigation and overall quicker way to read code
Re: Linux Kernel Explorer
#47This is very nice. It would be interesting to see the same for other code bases like emacs and vim.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. It would be wonderful if there was same site for all the big open source projects

Re: Linux Kernel Explorer
#49Very interesting! I was kind of expecting that this was going to use LLMs / coding agents to explain the kernel as you stepped through it. But this is a nice app.

> The analogy of the Talmud to a hypertext isn't especially apt, IMO.
Isn’t it? Every page of the Talmud includes marginal notes (Masoret HaShas, Ein Mishpat, Torah Or) giving cross-references to relevant parts of the Torah, Talmud and other legal codes. In a web-based version I think it would be natural to represent those with hypertext.
