Use pi. Can't trust OAI or Anthropic to make good tools.
Swing layout was bad then (gridbaglayout!) and is bad now. The framework's approach is bad. Components provide min, pref, max sizes that are very often just ignored. Components need a layout mystery object in order to…
True those platforms have security controls, better than what we've ever seen on desktop. Desktop also needs controls like that: to use the system tray, filesystem, hardware, etc. There's at least a work multiplier of 3…
Hard disagree. Lots exist but none are great. Usually layout isn't sane. Another blunder is components are too complex with too many layers. Customization and creating your own components becomes difficult. Often the…
Ah. One difference is a normal desktop can access a lot more or even all of your system. Otherwise cross platform UI toolkits exist: GTK, Qt, Swing, SWT, etc. They could be great but they aren't, not because it can't be…
No, tables are the right solution: nonoverlapping elements arranged in a sane way that is easy to reason about. The arguments about semantics so everything can be a div are hilarious -- it really doesn't matter.
Yes, a terrible one. That's what the article is about.
Windows Firewall Control is good, binisoft iirc.
Close! It was 1 dev and 1 artist for a long time. Eventually the runtime and support load became too high and it's slowly grown to 9 people. Running lean was satisfying but exhausting.
Ha, it works great! I like it, thank you!
I didn't really expect anyone who played HaVoC to see my post. It's cool you guys are out there! Like you I was just tinkering, though I stuck with it for a long time. At that point I was 19 and literally living in my…
This is GREAT! The usability is through the roof, and supporting HN in the same way is super cool. It's similar to Sync but simpler and even better in some ways. To bring your own subreddit subscriptions into this, use…

Many brain affecting substances don't depend on body weight.
I've used an Imak Smartglove w/ Thumb for more than a dozen years. It helps a lot. Also a Kensington Expert Mouse, a keyboard tray, and a Steelcase Leap v2.
Aye, though it mentions fixed temps and my CD-1BQF is variable 90-450C. Don't know if it's induction but it heats up so fast it's at temp by the time the tip moves from the holder to work.
My JBC has a lesser temp (like 150C) that it holds for a little while when returned to the stand. This is supposed to extend tip life. The heating element is in the tip, so the tips are spendy.
A JBC iron is spendy but great. The heating element is in the tip, similar to what you described though I don't know if it uses RF. Soldering with it is super easy, requires very little skill, mostly just remembering to…

Sorry I'm late, didn't have hnreplies set up. Sure! For the past 10 years I've been making a 2D skeletal animation tool. It's a desktop app built with Java, so I get all the nice Java tooling, hotswap, etc. There's no…
Ragel is interesting for some parsing problems.
In my experience commit rights also decrease the quality of the code. Nearly everyone sucks. I've had to rewrite FOSS to get rid of the ugly. Ideally I could have kept a better eye on the commits but time doesn't always…
Exactly, this is what it feels like to me. Sometimes it feels like I get more of it's attention (processing power) and the answers are good and correct. Other times it makes many mistakes easily. I would pay more to get…
It doesn't have the brakes for it's speed to be safe. I had a Model X and the fit and finish was poor. That, their yoke gimmick, and Elon's nonsense means I won't but another Tesla.
I switched to Bing recently. It looks exactly like Google with a few extra features and is slightly better at providing relevant results. What Google does is no longer good or unique. As for non-search, Google has…
