It's not criticizing anything at all, just suggesting an alternative. We're all always using products that are other people's work, why not ALSO work on something where you author and build your own system?

The site is fashioned like a MUD being played in a terminal. At the very bottom is a prompt where you can enter commands to "look" around, get help, go to other pages, etc.

OP's tool looks good, I like the QRcode idea. Another useful tool in this neighborhood is Droopy: http://stackp.online.fr/?p=28 It's a Python script that runs a simple web server with some nice options. I used it

Runs well on Windows 10, looks decent. Single 7MB executable that can be copied around. A lot of handy tools for a self contained app. A few initial observations: the list of languages in the Scratch Pad is not correctly sorted. Also the Po

That center circle is actually the sun approaching the horizon, because they are "sunsetting" Visual Scripting.

Cool! I just learned about this editor randomly about a week ago [1], then mentioned it on the thread about Double Commander the other day, a file manager also written in Lazarus [2]. I'm just about to get it to compile. I'm writi

As I was reading this I felt that it overlapped and complemented the C4 approach in a lot of places. There's even a superficial connection: C4 is contained in the title!

Neat to see this here, I just started using this app a couple months ago and I like it. I've been a big fan of alternative file managers for years. I loved LIST back in the DOS days as an alternative to DIR =) where you could easily br

To expand on what tveyben mentioned, the first 10 items in your Windows task bar can be opened by pressing Win+1 through Win+0. If you pin items there, they will always have that keyboard shortcut. Even so, as much as I prefer using alterna

ShareX looks great, I will check it out. In Windows 10, you can also press Win+PrintScreen to save a numbered screen shot to your Pictures\Screenshots folder.

It is clearly an example from which you will build your own correctly formatted tool chest! Then convert it into a little library on a post, or mount a cooler in it for shop beers!

I bought it a couple years ago too and use it in most of my editors and consoles. It's very comforting!

Along with all the other good advice here, make sure to consider the idea of four types of documentation: Documentation System, https://documentation.divio.com/ tutorials, how-to guides, technical reference and explanation

Also really handy sometimes is Win+PrintScreen, which puts the screen image on the clipboard, and also saves it to a numbered file in your Pictures\Screenshots folder. If things are happening fast and you don't want to paste and manipu

Nice knot! I agree with the others, I use the taut line hitch frequently, but this is interesting and looks like it will get easier to tie after a few times. Then it has a pull tag for a quick release.

It takes a similar amount of time to prove that he is correct. If you copy the link into a new window instead of coming from HN, you get a different result.

I once wrote a bunch of Rexx scripts for the terminal program ZOC (aka Zap-O-Com). This was a Windows shareware terminal program that I used to connect to newsgroups and FTP sites, and telnet to CompuServe and Delphi Information Service! I

The little diamond icon in the upper right corner takes you an overview map, but it doesn't show you those things. When you're between scenes with descriptions you can pan around by dragging the mouse. I'm hoping they extend

I down-arrowed through the whole thing. About 5 down-arrows for each next part of a scene, and about 10 to 15 for the next scene. Sweet story! ^__^

This is similar to my own format too, but opposite meanings for some of them, and a few have somewhat mnemonic character names: ~ todo (tilde) * started (star) - done (dash) x didn't or won't do # comment

Actually a lot of the PDF format is plain text, but can contain binary streams. You can open a PDF in a text editor and see the header, and skip to the end and see the xref index and some other parts. The binary sections are enclosed in pla

Well, also, 33F converts to 0.55555(etc)C, so if one's device didn't show fractional degrees and didn't round normally, 33F would look like 0C. But yes, 32F is 0.0C.

I think the book chair thing in the last picture is going in the right direction. With a couple sheets of plywood, basic tools and supplies, and a trip to the sofa cushion store, someone could build a comfortable reading space that suits th

I would like to see what it's about and what it looks like without signing up. At least provide some screen shots. Also, the author would do well to have the front page text looked at by a native english speaking editor to smooth it ou
