   1998 was the year I made my first website in pure HTML and, IIRC, CSS. There were two versions, one for 800x600 monitors or less, and one for 1024x768 and higher.

   15/26 despite nearly 20 years of Python. Should I be ashamed? (Granted, I’ve used it a bit less since f-strings became widespread)

   Native French speaker here. Can't 'French villages " also refer to "some french villages " in English?

   Happy birthday! I've been using it for almost ten years. It was already mature at the time. Such a well-thought, perfectly documented framework.

    Yes, many scandals stay under the radar until a good book, film or series reaches millions at once. I hope the same happens with another subject close to my heart [1, 2]. A Netflix film on a related topic a few years ago already had a huge

    Read about this [1, 2]. This is not yet a well-known scandal, but I expect (and hope) it will surface in the coming years or decade. It is on an even bigger scale, not limited to a single country, and it has been going on not just for 10 ye

    I didn’t know the developer is 18. No snark intended. Great work. Slow or suboptimal code is common nowadays, and often it’s better to get it working before worrying about speed.

    Maybe Notion should provide this feature then. No more hallucination! Seriously, I think there was a recent HN submission about this precisely.

    6x sounds bad. Might be a sign of vibe coding?

    That comment might also have been a joke, ironically and intentionally missing the point that perhaps there aren’t that many sharks in the Seine.

    That was published 6 years ago. What's the state of the art of local-first software technology in 2025?

    I really like the immediate mode GUI (IMGUI) paradigm. The other day, I looked into whether any web-based IMGUI libraries existed. It seems that HTML and the DOM are designed so differently from IMGUI that such an approach doesn't real

    I made a website based on XML documents and XSLT transformations about 20 years ago. I really liked the concept. The infrastructure could have been made much simpler but I guess I wanted to have an excuse to play with these technologies. Af

    I think lines of code could be an interesting and valuable metric. If the lower (negative) score, the better (given a fixed set of features). “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to

    I'd love to see a minimal C program or similar, implemented as a single function `int64 run_2048(int64 state, int input)`, which takes the current state and an input (left, right, up, down), and returns the next state. Could be an inte
