Re:Are IDEs outdated in the age of autonomous AI? [video] on Wednesday February 25, 2026 @07:02AM (#47150414)
I got tired of watching agents scroll in a terminal.

So I built Gigi, a control plane for autonomous AI development.

Re:How to draw stars – Sidereal time on Wednesday February 11, 2026 @08:16AM (#46974567)
Hi, I am building a framework for interactive notebooks (like Jupyter Notebooks, but focused on modern web development tooling and Org mode - orgp.dev).

This enables me to share my creative thinking.

In this series of articles, I am migrating Starplot (a Python library for creating star maps) to JavaScript while exploring all the related concepts and knowledge around history, math, and astronomy.

I’ve added a bit of narrative-imagine a Tuareg sitting beneath a crystal-clear sky in the desert at night.

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions.

Not sure this is posted by the author.

Anyway, I find this tools fitting a very nice niece.

I’m currently working in a similar extension of markdown.

In case, the author pass by, would love to connect.

Re:Fair-Code and Sustainable Use License on Monday April 03, 2023 @09:04AM (#35422816)
Are you aware of the existence of Sustainable Use License?

What is your thought about? Limitations and Opportunities?

Additional Links:

- https://docs.n8n.io/choose-n8n/faircode-license/

I feel that should have been phrase as formatting style.

This enters in the category of taste, I’m surprise that someone has investigate the assumption that could be correlated is something meaningful.

Although when comes to programming there is still different styles, compositions over inherence, condition verbalization, etc…

I wonder if that makes the difference. I believe makes better code, but some times I struggle explaining the value.

This is the reason why Markdown isn't a good specification for this. But I do agree with the sentiment.
Re:A generically typed pipe function in TypeScript on Sunday August 07, 2022 @03:27PM (#32379081)
This is great, thanks for sharing.

I'm currently using @arrows/composition https://caderek.github.io/arrows/packages/composition/#pipe because of the light way library approach, which you seem to share.

I also try fp-ts https://github.com/gcanti/fp-ts but is a bit an academic style, so difficult to introduce in everyday work. Implementation of pipe: https://gcanti.github.io/fp-ts/modules/function.ts.html#pipe

I still need to wrap my head on your use of generics, but yours looks more flexible than the static type approach that other libraries (include RxJS) implements, does your pipe support types for any length of arguments? Does require a specific version of TypeScript?

Nice work.

Re:DRY is an over-rated programming principle? on Thursday July 07, 2022 @06:09AM (#32012013)
Thanks for this article, I was just talking with my colleagues about it. And didn't find something simple to share with them, so this was just what I needed.

I think DRY is a good thing in some cases, but you should careful consider when something is worth to DRY and when rather WET gives you the best tradeoff for isolation.

My metrics to decide is to stick in favour of the Single Responsibility Principle. If DRY means compromising it, most likely is not worth it.

This article just make me feel stupid, which probably I am.

The only pragmatic argument that I could understand is the hard-wiring “issue”; which IMO is not part of FP and neither OOP but just a consequence that explicit intents are simpler than implicit intents.

I understand that this is to introduce to a novelty approach that Multix offers with cats.

But to be fair, not as sofisticate as Multix, Dependency Injection tries to tackle the hard-wiring constraints of imperative.

What I take from FP is Composition rather than Chaining, which much more flexible than the OOP counterpart, inheritance.

I was expecting to learn something new but I just jump in a spooky vocabulary that rather teach me something just waste my time.

The point stand, Multix might be a fabulous approach in coding, but this article failed to give any practical introduction to it, while claiming his superiority in something that totally didn’t resonate with me.

If your mission is getting Multix adopters I will invite you to shift your focus from language/tone/academical complexity; to something more simple, what does it solve?

There is only one real answer to this: too many.

Re:PaperTerm Concept, An e-paper remote terminal device on Wednesday September 08, 2021 @07:47AM (#28455695)
The keyboard is a Dell K07M, but beside the cute form factor I will NOT recommend buying it. Maybe mine is damage, but I got a lot of ghosting in my key pressing. I’m looking to replace it, maybe with a K3.
Re:PaperTerm Concept, An e-paper remote terminal device on Wednesday September 08, 2021 @05:19AM (#28454846)
I leave a picture of my setup that I previously posted in Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/o16nfa/pretty_please...

This is a BOOX Note Air, with Termux + Mosh + TMUX and my editor of choice Emacs DOOM.

I'm pretty happy of this setup. I went in holiday and I manage to use my editor to do some coding.

The only side effect is that it requires internet for extra processing power, although you could still run all locally depending on your requirements.

I see a list of url that might be a endpoint of exploit, does anybody knows how to monitor connections to those url from your LAN? Is it efficient to setup such defense? And where can I download the list of Pegasus servers?
Re:Mental Poker [pdf] on Monday July 05, 2021 @03:58AM (#27735571)
I love solve this problem, is such an interesting point were trust and cryptography comes in place.

I even try to build a prototype my self for p2p poker. I don't have anymore the code to share.

Anyway I will also recommend this video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mthPiiCS24A

Some factors where merely psychological, such a mistrust due to misleading partners listed in the website that should use the lib.

For instance one logo is the one of SpaceX, which sadly is just a user group, nothing official. Another mention is Google which I didn’t find any relevant code that gives a hint that Casbin is used by Google in production.

Someone mentions shortcuts in codes; well didn’t got the time to find back all the notes.

But we find several bugs mainly in the implementations that lead us to look somewhere else.

We end-up with CASL.

That doesn’t mean that I don’t like to use Casbin, but already cost me to much time of debugging.

But let me leave with a disclaimer for a later me:

Code mutates like nature does, what it might be true today might be false tomorrow and viceversa, and if you got the time to improve it, just use it.

Don’t get bend by this merely opinion and just investigate and form your own, and always give a second chance, because times changes everything, and sometimes nothing changes.

Usually I’m not a detractor, but recently we evaluated Casbin and I would not recommend anybody to use it.
Re:Ask HN: Who's looking for a co-founder? on Tuesday January 05, 2021 @09:38AM (#25645926)
I’m Mauro ( http://linkedin.com/in/ideabile ), and I’m located in Amsterdam.

I’m looking for a Designer for a pet building a SaaS solutions to integrate design more into development, get in contact with me if you want to know more.

I’m also looking to someone to invest part time hours to build services that can create passive income together, a sort of business pattern of MVPs.

Also `recursion` is interesting.
