i recently finished hemingways "the old man and the sea". very highly recommend for anybody that wants something short and memorable. left me feeling something between inspired and nihilistic

replied to:

This strangely reminded me of golden days of Twitter. There was a point I absolutely love Twitter. This is also a reminder for me to pick up a book instead of reading a load of random stuff online. Thank you!

How do they get you e-mail address?

replied to:

From my HN profile, or the page I post has a contact, or my github. It’s not that hard.

replied to:

The e-mail is only public if you put it in the about box. Maybe the solution is to remove it from there. But maybe you want to be contacted. In that case, spam would be the price to pay for reachability.

Putting a slide deck together (outside of work), despite agreeing with Tufte on this matter. I’ll also create a handout that tells the story better than the slides and deliver that, too, but was asked to produce a slide deck, and I think that’s part of the “effort theater.” Using Beamer for the slides, but not a theme that looks like Beamer because humans have eyes.

I'm looking for a way to manage my bookmarks easily on desktop and Android. Anyone have any experience with software like that? It'd be nice to be able to tag or categorize pages, and maybe to keep local mirrors for certain ones. I'm open to self-hosting. Thanks for reading!

replied to:

I've stopped managing bookmarks after del.icio.us died - now i just hit the browser star but they seem to disappear and never visit them again, apart from the most recent. The situation sucks really. I'm also interested in a good solution.

Everyone is on bedrock? there are ways to play on the same server even with different versions.

replied to:

wait really?! me and my friends were always just talking while in our own worlds..

replied to:

you can try GeyserMC, you can get it on a custom server and as far as I know you can also use it on Aternos. I've used it a few times on private servers, works pretty well

OMGG thank you so much! me and my friends are gonna play tonight!!!

és így nem kell egy ilyen zöld modulba applikált, baszott nagy integrált chipet venni hozzá, pedig nem is néz ki rosszul, de jól sem

and that way you don't have to buy a fucking big integrated chip applied to a green module, even though it doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look good either

It didn’t work out, we found competition offering the same service for free so the fell apart. Need to find something else to do as a side project to textlog. 😕 Thinking of a code editor that’s focused on the new agentic workflows, so you have it on the side regardless of your agent tools and it monitors the git diff and offers a nice panorama view. I’ve done an extension for VSCode similar to this idea.

replied to:

Good outcome! Better to bail early and avoid toiling on a doomed idea. I'm always afraid of this 😅

A couple of afternoons of the jinn coding harness and glm-5.3 and my taxus static site generator is properly whipped into shape. get-taxus.org It now has a frickin' data model, that's documented, as well as installers for your platform of choice. Try it, break it, I'll be doing the same. Let me know where it broke for you.
