Also think about it this way: Redis will eventually become obsolete. It may take 10 or 50 years, but it will happen. But kilo taught many developers about C, editors, terminals, and how simple it is to do syntax highlighting. This epiphan

Amazing example and show-case, great job. Reminded me of my pinstripes: https://os.90s.dev/#sys/apps/paint.app.js https://github.com/sdegutis/os.90s.dev/blob/31bf4ec46e02367b... But

Many people do things like this out of a genuine guilt over having it better than many others financially and not knowing how to resolve that. I really liked the solution in the movie Our God's Brother adapted from a play written by Ka

Near the top: > to set complex custom backgrounds on an element Basically the same reasons you might need draw() in traditional GUIs. Do this in CSS: https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b6c45f60f6e450574c4087589... (image

I'll just make it with JS. Can't be that hard.

We came full circle. We started out overriding draw(), then HTML + CSS took over, and now we're back to overriding draw(). This was a huge inspiration for 90s.dev

You win the "someone on HN made me laugh out loud" award. The last person to win it was like a month ago so good job.

That is the most hacky solution I may have ever seen in a CSS demo. I love it.

I've noticed that too, LAMP stack vs MEAN stack etc. Part of it seems to be that software languages have "flavors" like natural spoken language does, so that one seems natural to one person and foreign to another, much like h

I've literally never even used Redis, let alone know what it is or does. I dunno how I was able to make money in software since 2008 without figuring that out... or learning SQL, or C++. There's far more that I don't know tha

This comment is why I go to the comments first. Oh hey you're the guy who made kilo. Good job. [edit] lol he edited it... they always edit it

You're the outlier and for good reason.

I'm pretty much decided on making the Show HN clone even if nobody uses it. Because I know it's a good idea and I believe in it: * For every N=round(10) years software experience, you can click submit N 10 times. * You must* prov

My comment definitely has more points than the two above it, but it's lower, even though that pattern isn't true with my other comments. Probably because Daniel manually demoted it as part of his manual/automatic hybrid moder

The $.50 version is barely food. The $1.69 is not much better, and still very unhealthy for you. Have ground beef and a fiber rich low calorie food like brocoli or whole wheat whole grain noodles or something. Anyway you're not really

First of all it's an infinitely difficult problem to justly gauge value for value approximations, so a roughly free market will always have price fluctuations where people experiment. And there's nothing inherently wrong with adve

Similarly I made the best bubble emulation app on iOS maybe 8 or 10 years ago. I was so happy with it, to some extent I wish I didn't delete the source code. But it only took me one inspired Saturday to make. Unfortunately it sold no

I've noticed that a strong thread of the hacker community, including HN and the guys who wrote GNU and linux, are extremely cheap . Like, you'd rather write a product clone yourself than pay $15/month for the official produc

You're both saying the same thing: fewer features = higher quality. Swiss army knives are not as good at being screwdrivers as screwdrivers are.

The nice thing about MD is that it's a spec, separate from impls. If I were to use this, I'd want to install a node.js lib that renders it to HTML and has a plugin API for features you didn't think of but that I need and know

Also, markdown-it (and probably other MD engines) has number-list-normalization. I think it's practically standard atp.

Oh, I see. It's an alternative to Markdown itself. Interesting. Ambitious, but interesting. MD does have some serious warts. It would be nice if you could provide a shorter summary of the differences, mainly the pain points it solves a
