   You are correct! I need a tshirt to keep it straight.

   Thank you for sharing this. I started as a youngling on a 300 baud modem. 1200 baud upgrade modems had a zeitgeist of being just for piracy — who else would need so much bandwidth said those who charged by the minute. Information wasn’t fl

   One of my favorite T shirts is a custom black one that says `f2k i18n` in a white typewriterish coding font. (Thanks Roman!) Most people are confused by it. When I start to explain it, I sound like a jerk who hates foreigners. The programm

   I have been looking for this for a while — thank you for making it! I’m gonna explore how I can deploy my BubbleTea TUI’s with it.

   I've been happy with Databento as a low-friction way to get market data. I liked it so much, I ported their structs and APIs to Golang. [1] Their EQUS Mini dataset is a great way to dip the toe if you want live data without licensing

   Wow, this isn’t far from me… I will visit soon and maybe snag a velociraptor! Thanks for the post!

    So the squares turn into smaller squares when you click them? If so, keep subdividing… if not it’s a bug?

    Fun comment section here! As a haptics developer and psychonaut, months back I joked with Claude month about adding touch to a light and sound machine via bilateral nipple stimulation. Like a good boy LLM it told me it was a fantastic, insi

    On my first couple days of writing MCP servers, I made ones that bind APIs (DataBento, Buttplug.io). I thought that was the point. These were my immediate takeaways: 1) I need an auto-binder (eg OpenAPI) or a better binding system like t

    You can explore with it here [1]. Still an experiment-in-progress, but it is OSS so anyone can play along. Some agentic loop scaffolding is in there. Another cool thing is that I was in two simultaneous dev loops, one working on this and

    I’ve been exploring modes of MCP development of a Screentime MCP server. In the loops, I ask it to look at my app and browsing behavior and summarize it. Obviously very sensitive, private information. Claude generated SQL and navigated the

    Quite the hot take on Golang LOL. These were logic and flow errors that could have emerged with any language. These bugs were teased out with deep introspection. The second paragraph seems more like design issues than a language issue. T

    From reading it and mostly from the introduction, it felt like they rolled up their sleeves and really dug into the code. This was refreshing versus the vibe-coding zeitgeist. I would be curious what AI tools assisted in this and also what

    I was just thinking about this topic this morning, so quite timely post! I received a PR with binary test data files that were copied from an upstream ecosystem. Similarly, I had copied files from that repo, but who should trust me? Submo

    I was amazed by this artistry and my immediate thought was “I need to honor that by 3D printing that!” Grab photo, convert to SVG, load into 3D modeling program, clean up curves to have good surfaces, extrude color-coded heights, map colors

    Thanks for replying and congrats on releasing your idea to the world. I just signed up to check it out and will use it in parallel with my project. I like your idea of session-based versus photo-based and also the approach of pre-printin

    Has anyone used this Candid9 service or QR code photo sharing workflow? Does it work well? I happen to be making a RPi Camera for Burning Man and was incorporating a QR code workflow into it. With a thermal printer for either a low-res p

    Porting the ElectricSheep AfterEffects Plugin from Windows to OSX was my true first open source contribution (1999?). And that only happened because my friend was friends with its author and it came up when he was showing off some fractals

    OP, great work on this. While I can't run it, I appreciate that it's pretty bite-sized and easy to inspect. Dealing with volumes is a big change, but interpolation of the affine transforms is not far off. Expose the matrix to t

    I have been very interested in fractal volumes using mesh shading to sample the isosurfaces. Some of the first mesh shader demos included Mandelbulbs, but AFAIK there's been no OSS tools/demos 7 years later? Please comment if you

    Maybe tacky to turn a comment thread into a Show HN, but the top dope is always in the comments anyways. This morning I kept pushing and started getting Claude into an human-agentic loop of suggesting MCP tool description and pre-flight SQL

    One could pretty easily wrap an MCP server around the ScreenTime activity SQLite database file on MacOS. You could use DuckDB like this server does. I’ve found good value in making purpose-build MCP servers like that with the general model
