If you accelerate the Car, then switch the configuration from Car to Brick, the brick won't slow down. Not sure whether is it intended but it feels wrong.
Re:Claude, change the "Add to Cart" button to blue on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @09:20AM (#49626101)
I lost it when it finally did the right thing, but then it added a never-requested gradient to the button. Very good!

What a ride of a read. I was 100% it was phishing and I got really surprised to find out it wasn't.
What's up with this title? At the time of writing this, it's worded as:

"Medieval Icelanders were likely hunting blue whales long industrial technology"

Seems they were trying to hunt industrial tech from whales. I guess a "before" went missing before "industrial"?

>Just like there are small farming collectives out there, I'd love for there to be micro-magazines and short stories on paper, made cheaply and distributed to small mailing lists with a single stamp (not an email newsletter!). PDF versions available for long-distance readers.

You seem to be describing what I've known (since forever) by "Zine"[¹]

Same-day settlement is cool but how about instant transfer between different banks? Brazilian Pix has it for almost a year.

Seems like a simpler version of TiddlyWiki¹, which is free.

It might worth a try for those who prefer less features

Anyone else puzzled by the shaking migration animation? The original file has a 1920x1080 resolution. I wonder if it is related to the shaking. Good article nevertheless.

Not saying assassination by revenge was correct but one could argue that an even greater start would be the avoidance of transatlantic slave trade.
Re:Ask HN: What did you make during lockdown? on Sunday June 21, 2020 @12:20PM (#23592921)
I'm making a politically charged game based on Brazil's scenario. It's been fun and rewarding. https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/750869
You must pick something that is really meaningful for you in a way that will make you feel good seeing the progress of the project you are working on. What would a Roguelike have to be to take your full attention? How a strategy game you really love has to look like?

What you like beyond games? If you like gardening, make a game about it. Are you a sports fan? Make a sport game. You get the idea.

I'm saying this because it's working for me. Like you, I want to make games on my own. I am also into politics, so I chose a language and a framework[¹] and started from the tutorial with the goal of making a politically-charged infinite-runner[²].

After getting the basics I told my idea to a couple of friends that kindly drew sprites for me to use in the game. It's been a really cool experience. I'm doing it everyday and learning a lot in the way. I strongly believe that the subject choice for the project is what is getting me hooked to it.

Re:Gambas: Visual Basic on Linux on Saturday March 14, 2020 @09:36PM (#22580376)
There is solid debugging support for most Haxe targets on VSCode[1].

Re:Gambas: Visual Basic on Linux on Saturday March 14, 2020 @02:00PM (#22577193)
Yes. It basically outputs the executable binary for the target you choose when compiling your Haxe code. It means you write Haxe source and the 'compiler' (transpiler, actually) generates code for the choosen target. It will then compile the generated code using the target compiler installed in your system, if necessary (when you target C++, for example).
Re:Gambas: Visual Basic on Linux on Saturday March 14, 2020 @12:11PM (#22576358)
Just to add 2 cents: HaxeUI[1] does this job, is stable and it's being actively developed.

I've been exclusively using Firefox for browsing and developing for a few years now and I've never thought of looking back. The customization and privacy features plus the possibility of having multiple profiles / accounts side by side in the same window are now a must-have for me.
I agree the title can mislead someone to think it's easy but after watching the video I think it's fair to say the title is accurate. Micro meteorites are in fact everywhere and they indeed describe a way to find them. The fact they didn't succeed in finding one is shadowed by the quality of the overall content.
All those fruits you mentioned are sorta common here in Brazil under the names jaca, goiaba and graviola. You can find them int he supermarket but they're present in many backyards too. They're even used to make flavored beverages like licors and beers and that's before any vegan food trend I can think of.
Re:RunJS on Saturday January 12, 2019 @04:57PM (#18893499)
Is it a good number for Electron apps? Is it ok nowadays? 150MB seems too much for me. I also thought that by using Electron an app would be readily portable but I could only find Mac binaries.

Re:Ask HN: How do you keep track of the articles you want to read? on Wednesday November 07, 2018 @02:56PM (#18401850)
I keep the most important ones opened in a Chrome tab until a read and save it to Pocket. The less important ones I save to Pocket until it comes the day I get to read them on spare time or by necessity. The ones I know I'll repeatedly query for info (like tutorials/technical articles/documentation) I save in a categorized folder on Chrome's bookmark bar
It may not be him but it's the same tragedy as Douglas Schifter's.

This reminds me of that story about the bikeshed[1] colour: "This is a metaphor indicating that you need not argue about every little feature just because you know enough to do so. Some people have commented that the amount of noise generated by a change is inversely proportional to the complexity of the change."

Re:A case against syntax highlighting (2007) on Tuesday June 07, 2016 @05:26PM (#11858016)
I'm honestly considering whether this article is not purposely trying to argue over a bogus premise only to later warn us to take what we read online with a grain of salt. I mean, to pose the question "why on earth would people want to highlighting verbs" as an attempt to prove that syntax highlighting is unnecessary is not even close to be a good try.
