Couple of scratch-my-itch apps. 1. Plimsoll Line for dealing with anxieties from mountains of Reminder items, by surfacing the stress factors and taking small actions such as quick journalling and a breathing exercise. The new version with

Thank you so much for taking a look at Plimsoll Line and giving such a good feedback! The anxiety caused by procrastination is definitely real, my wife and I both feel the stress when we see our devices spew the same reminders that have bee

One thing I would like about this system is that I wouldn't get incessant notifications about things I haven't yet done lol. I do think that building a habit to check on a txt file periodically (like the author says) to stay on to

Thank you so much John for your encouragement and the awesome tool HN Simulator ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46036908 )! For those who haven't tried it yet, I did couple of test posts on the Simulator to get an

I've had a soft spot for defold, partly because they're unique in the gamedev space. For example, the GUI editor that is built-in is done in Clojure! https://github.com/defold/defold/tree/dev/ed

The ads angle is an interesting one since that's what motivates most things that Google and Meta do. Their LLMs' context window size has been growing, and while this might the natural general progression with LLMs, for those 2 ads

Thank you for putting into words your frustrations with trying to grok GT and Pharo, which matches mine. It's too bad because I can sense the fascinating technologies and the possibilities of a great developer experience that are there

Haven't tried with Pragtical (hard to say it out loud BTW, lol) but have had success with right-click-opening other apps that give this error. Sometimes I need to do it multiple times to open it as normal. No issues with the apps thems

Agreed, Decker has that right feel to it to be a good reimplementation of HyperCard. I’m happy it exists, especially as a desktop app.

I believe the references to “arc” here and elsewhere in the thread is referring to the new web browser and not the Lisp-family language. There’s a GitHub link to a Swift ui bindings for Windows elsewhere by another poster here.

I had to right-click open twice in a row, back-to-back. I've seen this with other apps downloaded from non-app-store, from time to time. Very non-intuitive but rewards (irrational) persistence. :)

The author of the article also has some thoughts on those topics: https://typicalprogrammer.com/how-to-start-freelancing-and-g... I’ve only skimmed it and have started reading but the parts about highlighting/phrasing

Good question, though what you have in mind might be real time metrics, not analytics. Even then you might not need real time metrics to know whether your rapid changes are breaking things. An already established dev culture built on CI&#x

Not reverse engineering, but I'd used free iOS/macOS apps that could inspect the traffic content. I also had access to the spec sheet from the manufacturer ("smart" BLE scale) that had where in the long payload digits we

One that I've kicked around with is TIC-80: https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80 A bit more generous with the system resources, but PICO-8 does have a bigger community and "carts" to download and poke around

My take on this is that React Native works fine for content-dominant (media, text) apps but maybe not for UI interaction-dominant (arcade games, heavy animations, gestures) ones. You share a very similar API (React) and possibly the busines

As an alternative to Jupyter UI and Emacs, Hydrogen ( https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen ) could be viable. It runs as an Atom extension and connects to a Jupyter server instance. I haven't used it for anything oth

I came across https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six recently and was impressed with what it could get done. The documentation can be challenging to parse, so I relied on a code sample from a StackOverflow answer. Ha

I want to know this too! When I poked around before, I got the impression that it would be good for writing apps that need sophisticated logic, as the language and the platform is very flexible. I think I came across several Pharo tools for

I also would like know this. I find the Pharo ecosystem challenging to understate as the documentations aren't as rich as other platforms with more volunteers. Or maybe it's because of the more exploratory programming/learnin

There was an older blog post about deploying Seaside (a SmallTalk web app framework) on AWS. It boiled down to stripping the image of unused parts (tree shaking), including the GUI and copying the images over to the server behind a load bal

To add to the good responses by the others, React Native development, on a good day, feels like the best of web dev and native dev (reload to see the change, `yarn add <package> && react-native link` to add a new NPM package,

I am ignorant of SLIME/CIDER (though I think I've used the latter with Clojure). Do they have access to the same memory space as the running application and the ability to interact with live application state? It seem that Nightli

Just wanted to repeat my sentiment in another thread, that I love this approach to problem solving. The outcome appears to be a tradeoff, but one that simplifies the hard part beautifully, leaving a simple(r) solution. I look forward to how

A very humble approach, and one that I try to subscribe to, as well. :) I think the embedding part is certainly a tradeoff. Once the development community settles on a best-practice for things like this, it becomes less of a danger of forge
