I appreciate this, but I'm not concerned with the capabilities of the terminal or the GUI. What would be unhelpful, to me, would be to build a TUI because then if I wanted to send the actual app state to - for instance, a web browser w

I guess I might be misunderstanding what Scintilla is? Everything I've seen with it has it coupled with native controls, like a winform control or a Qt control. Are you saying that the library can be used, on its own, without a graphic

Any chance people in this thread have some recommendations for text-editing libraries? I would love to build my own text editor, to do some things in my own way that no one else seems to have an interest in doing, but one of the big things

Big time +1, here. Would love to hear something - anything - from the bsky team that takes some accountability.

This looks really useful! I'm having a hard time understanding how it might be used by each specific user, using their own LLM instance, though. Is that because it does not support that type of bring-your-own-llm scheme, or am I just n

Yeah, I think there's a lot of juice left in the "newstand" model. We just have to figure out how to translate the efficiency of "drop in quarter, get news" with digital currency and content. Like you said: a micro-

honestly: good. all of them jumped up their own asses for the sake of SEO and minimum required regulation compliance, which stopped me from even going to the ones that aren't low-quality, content mills, which many of them are. cut th

It's developer fantasy because no one was putting any money into this kind of project. Presumably, because the data showed there wouldn't be enough return from it. Which then implies that the data has updated to show that there is

For anyone still using Windows' notepad app, I strongly recommend Notepad2[0]. It's a drop-in replacement for Notepad that does add a few extra features, but does not have even the minimal suite of features that something like

I'm sorry you're having a hard time understanding. "library" just means "package of code". A framework - of any kind - is a library. Not all libraries are frameworks, but a web component framework would absolut

Your visualizer looks great! I really like that it queues up tasks to run instead of only operating on the code during runtime attachment. I haven't seen that kind of thing before. I built my own node graph utility to do this for my co

Not to nag, but this seems like a design error? WC font settings should be inherited and relative, rather than any specific pixel size. Designs should be robust enough to support overflowing text, should the user increase scale/zoom&#x

No, I'm saying that if you use a non-wc framework, it will be more robust than any wc framework. Not because it's non-wc, but because it's more mature. Lit is mature, but it's not more mature than React, and it definit

I love web components and, for the past few years, I've been building a simple demo app that is, itself, a web component[0]. The main problem I've found with web components is the ecosystem. The reason 1000 different devs can make

You make great points! I appreciate the detail of the comment, and I don't particularly disagree with any of it. I think someone else mentioned gravestones that are etched and filled with black, so your suggestion of just doing that wi

Awesome! TIL. Thanks for the quick feedback! Makes sense, to me.

Hey all! Wild to see my silly question pop up on the front page, but very cool! I hope it was because of a spike in interest for some reason, but... Please forgive me, this is the first time I've ever been on the front page, but I&#x27

Asking the wrong question, friend. What should the penalty be for failing to process an immigrant through your system for ~7 years? Where does the fucking buck stop? The US immigration system is broken, and has been, so where are the pena

based on this users comments in a similar story from earlier, this seems like a bot.

Wow! Now that's some outside the box thinking. That even seems to suggest that "watermarking" a print (or a small, hard to notice part of a print) would be possible. I also think you could get denser storage that way? I guess

by catapart 8mo ago
I completely hadn't considered the idea that QR codes could be made 3D (in fact, now I'm curious how much denser they can get, if you can both read and write them in 3D), but now that people have said it, it seems so obvious! I re

Right on. The only problem with M-DISC is that it's industrial only and most certainly not free for public use. I know that isn't relevant to the question I asked, as stated, but the focus was on 3D printing because it is somethin

I think vinyl would, but as others have noted, it probably wouldn't satisfy the "3D printed" condition. I know this wasn't in the original ask, but my focus was on what I would be able to do, as far as archival storage,

Yeah. I kind of lumped in engraving with 3D printing because the difference is really just a toolhead (simplified; motors, tolerances, etc, but still). But that's part of what the 'specialized tool' part of the question was m

Oh, very cool! Thanks for chiming in! Lots of good responses, but few that seem to have literal experience with the production. I appreciate the hard numbers. I think that was near the capacity I was assuming. One or the more interesting th

Right on. Simple text/encoded strings weren't really on my mind while imagining the more complicated solution, but you're right that data is probably best preserved with just "printing" rather than 3d printing. I di

Ask HN: Are there examples of 3D printing data onto physical surfaces?

Same. I've been wanting to get into a Frigate setup, but I personally can't stand all of the "tech bullshit" of it all. I would love an actual product that I could plug in, connect to local wifi, and then connect camer
