Great idea! Wish the speed was bit more. I think it would be cool if it takes exactly 1 second to bounce between the two paddles.

reminded me of this one that ends at some point

On similar note, I tested every grocery list app and ended up with papers and pencil

When you say “I’ll try to do something…” you are giving a heads up to the other person that you may give up on that thing at any time. There is no commitment.

Its almost like impulse buying so I call it impulse coding. I have done it before I am sure will do it again.

I’d call it impulse coding.

Currently learning Swift so I can rewrite my Flutter app (https://sccomps.com/) using purely Swift.

They underestimated the power of public backlash on social media.

Doesn’t Real ID solve this problem?

Ironically WhatsApp is also American.

> Lightly is incredibly slow

Its relative! Sitting on a couch and watching the pixel move from the sun to the earth for 8 minutes feels incredibly slow but if you are actually traveling in a light speed aircraft then it won’t feel that slow.

for me the out of sync happens during the transition between cycles. I think the problem is the visualization in this 4-7-8 app. you don't know when the exhale is going to end, you are almost at the end of exhale and inhale starts immediately. .There should be a small gap of 1 between the cycles 4-7-8-1-4-7-8-1 ... or the animation should indicate when the exhale is going to end.

Nice app! Wish there was a small interval between the cycles for catchup. After first cycle the next inhale starts immediately, and from the visualization you don't know exactly when the first cycle is going to end unless you keep the count yourself. I think after exhale there should be a gap of maybe 1 to catch up. INHALE-HOLD-EXHALE-CATCHTUP - inhaling for 4 counts, holding for 7, exhaling for 8, and catch up 1.

I ended up in the same situation with this 4-7-8 Breathing. Actually with this one the problem for me is that there is no interval between cycles. After first cycle the next inhale starts immediately, and from the visualization you don't know exactly when the first cycle is going to end unless you keep the count yourself. I think after exhale there should be a gap of maybe 1 to catch up. INHALE-HOLD-EXHALE-CATCHTUP - inhaling for 4 counts, holding for 7, exhaling for 8, and catch up 1.

I made a game not exactly on the same line but related to decimal and binary numbers https://www.squashbyte.com/

Hope you like it!

Nice game. I got the answer in 1 try in my first attempt!

Both are valid cases, but one cannot replace the other—just like elevators and stairs. The presence of an elevator doesn't eliminate the need for stairs.

Well, you wouldn’t be able to type this rant here without the web!

> that money could absolutely be spent better in other ways.

Your opinions are childish so don’t really bother me. That said, that money cant be spent better in other ways. You have no idea how extremely efficient ISRO is in making use of the budget they are allocated.

The context is friendship

this is so confusing. best is superlative of good, so best has to be good.

Nope

Recently I used chatGPT to “improve” the introduction of my game http://www.squashbyte.com. I wrote the initial introduction and asked chatgpt to make it better. I can speak good English but I am not a native English speaker so I was impressed by the outcome. Also I was mind blown to see how chatGPT answered some questions I asked after feeding the initial text to it. But now I think should I keep using chatgpt to do things like this? Will it deteriorate my writing or thinking ability if I keep outsourcing it to AI?

Thanks for Awesome backgrounds! Sorry for the shameless plugin, but I used couple of your backgrounds in my game

well, I am not sure how you can build a webapp by avoiding HTML, JS and CSS.

Have you tried Django? https://www.djangoproject.com/

Thanks! yeah initially it might seem a bit fast, but after some time you'll start memorizing patterns and won't need to do the mental math. Then it just depends on how fast you punch in the correct number.

Hi HN community, I built a tiny game about binary to decimal conversion. Hope you like it!
