Re:iPhone Cameras Are Good on Tuesday July 29, 2025 @10:39AM (#44724007)
iPhones have wide angle lenses but they are NOT fish eye lenses as stated a couple times in the article. They definitely distort things but a fish eye lens distorts things in a very different curved way rather than keeping lines straight like a regular wide angle lens.

Show HN: Running a Django app in the browser with WebAssembly

Posted by deneb150 on Sunday October 09, 2022 @10:39AM
from the show-hn dept.

https://github.com/m-butterfield/django_webassembly

Inspired by the recent post about running Wordpress entirely in the browser, I decided to try getting Django running in the browser. It was trickier than expected but I learned a lot about service workers. It feels like we're on the cusp of some interesting alternative ways to deploy things now.

I just finished rewriting this custom reddit email newsletter service from a few years ago. Fully functional but don't feel like trying to market it: https://orangered.email/

Looks nice, here's the final working JS file from this blog post's example, no classes: https://github.com/m-butterfield/mattbutterfield.com/blob/88...

A bit dense, and could use some error handling...but it actually seems to work fine!

Debugging this is indeed quite hard. I have only used it for 1 on 1 p2p calls.

Sounds like you are in the perfect place to learn how to write better code right now. Use the feedback you're getting to improve and get to the level you feel you should be at. You probably aren't as far away as you think.

Thanks for the feedback, definitely need to make the subreddit selection easier. I like the idea of making the whole sign up section visible right away too. I will work on it.

Creator here. I made this over the course of a few weekends, starting with the simple idea of an automated, curated Reddit newsletter. Decided to take it all the way to a fully deployed and working service. The backend is written in Python and deployed in Google Cloud. Let me know if you have any questions.
Re:Ask HN: Recommend one book I need to read this summer? on Tuesday July 02, 2019 @08:53AM (#20334506)
I read it earlier this year and also can't understand why it's so highly recommended. If I were living in the Soviet Union during the time it was written it would probably be the greatest book I had ever read, but as someone just looking for something to read nowadays, I mean, so, so many other better choices.
