I find it charming that to distinguish Fil-C from the K&R language they use the term 'Yolo-C'. I have never used inline asm before, I actually didn't realise how much behaviour it's specifying! (When I've needed

This is very cool! I've wanted to do something like this for Sydney but never got around to it. Are you scraping your data sources or building them yourself?

I think you might be right, that rings a bell. There's an item on the front page about this right now, and I'm guilty as charged - I don't understand CORS at all https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48614844

It's probably out of scope for you, but I've used the 'vtfunc' module [0] for a similar purpose actually. [0] https://github.com/coleifer/sqlite-vtfunc

Interesting idea, I know there's the fsdir [0] table-valued function / module that allows loading from disk, so it should be possible to modify that or hard-code base list of paths or something [0] https://sqlite.org&#x

DuckDb makes so much of my life easier, though I've never used it for large problems. The ability to run `select * from 'data.json'` is just lovely. The fact that it's also a powerhouse is so impressive, I'd usually

When I've needed something like this in the past I've spun up simple HTML pages and used the json endpoint that all datasette instances come with [0]. I like this new pattern much better, as it keeps your app and data in one place

How do you manage the situation socially? I had a very important document with a very expensive professional booked for about 10 minutes. No way I could actually read it in that time - what would you do?

Very cool idea! I'm no longer in firmware but my previous employers could have used this at the time - it was all speadsheets and phonecalls at the time

> for getting huge swathes of code on your screen at once This is my major gripe at most IDEs. Every window, or view, or sub-view insists on shaving off a little bit of vertical and horizontal space for... I don't know, tabs or thin

Same, except I have family that work in healthcare and so _very occasionally_ they'll call me from a private number, and it'll be important. I still don't answer them, but I get to enjoy a tiny bit of stress every time I see

As counter measure to text scams the Australian government (actually ACMA which I think is the Au version of the FCC) has introduced a national register of Sender Ids, which comes in to effect on the 1st of July. It requires providers to ma

It takes me ages to draw my diagrams (I use excalidraw) but I find it so enjoyable because it forces me to slow down and check what I think I know

That's a good point, I do like to be able to bookmark specific issues (like in Jira I bookmark 'all issues that are assigned to me and not done' )

I really enjoy making Python faster. I feel like the sweet spot for me is proving a concept with the dumbest possible implementation to show that something would work, and then using that as a comparison implementation to prove that later i

I feel like scapy is a bit of a special case though. It's unusually dynamic because it allows kind of arbitrarily crazy things. I feel like it's maily best for prototyping. I've had 1000x speedups (100s of milliseconds to doz

I wish I could cure my sea sickness. The only thing that's worked is being on a boat more often (which isn't possible for me at the moment), and getting more sleep. The anti-nausea tablets unfortunately put me to sleep and they do

I think calling these people 'hacks' is not quite the right word. They're very good at what they do, it's just a lot of people don't like or don't value what they do. I actually have a fair bit of respect for t

Followup - my addiction is apparently worse than I thought. I'm using old.reddit in the browser, but at least in a reduced capacity. My shame.

I think 'do not spark joy' is the perfect description. Does it significantly ruin my day? No. Do I just feel a little bit less content with the world when my clean diff has an extra noop deletion and insertion? Yes. Interesting to

I've effectively dropped reddit because they've made the mobile web version near-unusable (and I find old.reddit.com difficult on mobile). Honestly, it's an improvement in my life. I don't know how I found myself spendin
