In case you're curious, here's a Nix derivation to make Balatro for any other system playable on Linux: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/by-name/ba... I wrote half a

Since moving to NYC, I'm surprisingly close to cashflow neutral. The cost of living is crazy expensive here. I'm for sure timing my exit based on the vesting schedule.

Have you seen those YouTube videos of people punking scammers? Scammers will convince people to drive to Target, buy gift cards, and read the credentials out over the phone. Those same people can surely talk you through tapping out a dialo

Evan Martin (evmar) started Ninja when he was working on Chrome at Google: https://neugierig.org/software/chromium/notes/2011/02/ninja.... Hence, it's used in a lot of Google projects.

Real question though: who's gonna run a CI farm of old hardware? That sounds not-cheap and commercially untenable.

TIL Linux does eventually drop support for old hardware.

The shotgun approach (suing FB, TikTok, Snapchat, and Google simultaneously) makes this sound as ridiculous as the punchline "woman sues McDonalds for coffee being too hot" (distinct from that actual case, which was less ridiculou

Valve nudges developers to ship/support their "one best version" of a game, and trust compatibility layers to make it work for everyone else. For x86, that's Windows. For mobile/VR, it's Android.

It's well-known that most of the work on SteamOS is done by vendors on behalf of Valve (both individual kernel authors and agencies like Igalia).

I suspect the way you get to that size is having a team of 5 people doing X for Fortnite going "man, we could do our specific job a bit better if we has 7 people." Scale that to a whole corp. Each job is justified in isolation to

Having to debug NixOS offline (that is - without the aid of Gemini CLI) sounds like a special kind of pain.

It feels petty to show up with a naming not, but the name is unfortunately/confusingly similar to the already well-known RxJS. Why is it called RX?

This sounds like you're chastising me for something totally distinct from what I was supporting the request for clarity on. I'm not asking or advocating for using AI as a copy editor. The post I replied to asked about using Gemini

This is how I would use/expect AI to be used in HN. I would also like this clarified.

Nice to see you here! Was really impressed by your work on Pundle. (It was an amazingly fast HMR dev environment - much like Vite today.) Felt like I was the only one using it, but it was hard to walk away from instant updates.

I started out using Karabiner, but then when Apple added support to natively rebind Escape, it made that an easy choice. Works great in Sublime. Have this request open for Ghostty: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostt

I was born in the Mac era, but when they still printed the Apple glyph on the Command key. Therefore, I still call it the "Apple key." I also took inspiration from ChromeOS's replacement of Caps with Search (and a popular ar

In the Classic Mac days, control really was just used for custom shortcuts. It may have just been lack of user education, but I don't think the ctrl-a/e/etc commands to move the cursor came until they rebased onto UNIX/N

If you read through the comments on the thread, that's actually why this works. AMD sold binned PS5 chips to crytomining endeavors. They resold the boards on eBay for cheap. So there's a history of people tinkering with rejected

There's much love given here to Flash as a creative tool and as an on-ramp for UX engineering. Both well-deserved, and both reason-enough to support Bill's project. One aspect that Flash got uniquely right was the ability to push

The first time I saw Bret Victor speak was at a FlashCamp at that office! Went to some really cool talks there. Also shipped my only Android game as an AIR app. I will forever be one of Flash's defenders. Was the best digital creativ
