I see redblobgames, I click
Unrelated but I have a similar problem with speech to text apps on windows, where due to the funkiness of claude codes (necessary) implementation, it doesn't send the keybindings correctly.

I sure wish it didn't have to be a console app

If I'm using cursor then sonnet is better, but in claude code Opus 4 is at least 3x better than Sonnet. As with most things these days, I think a lot of it comes down to prompting.

Other side, I put out a job req for a remote react dev position a month ago and got 1k applications in a week. 95% were automated spam.

Wo, this is strangely useful. I don't have this problem often, but when I do, it's super annoying.

Ask HN: B2B SaaS, good numbers, good PMF, need help

So I fell ass first into a modicum of success and I'm not sure how to take it to the next level.First off, I'm an engineering founder, which means I only truly know how to solve problems with technology. Unfortunately I am now past that point in my journey and I need help from someone with the right skillset.I am running a dead simple ai powered b2b tool to help founders validate their...

Re:Ask HN: What book have you re-read 3x or more? on Sunday September 04, 2022 @10:34AM (#32713493)
Masters of doom, dozen times.
Hey HN! This post details the ridiculous journey of building a deterministic lockstep multiplayer game engine for the web, with all the painful decisions involved. Building the quickga.me web based editor was a monster with a ton of novel problems that needed to be solved and im trying to go through and document as many as possible so others can learn from them.

Let me know if there's any more detail you would like me to provide!

I can't tell you how many times I find myself back on this page while working on multiplayer games. From the bottom of my heart I really can't thank you enough for this tutorial.
Re:Stack Overflow sold to Prosus for $1.8B on Wednesday June 02, 2021 @12:05PM (#27370311)
I always thought Microsoft would be a natural buyer given the tech stack and Microsoft's support for developers.

Unrelated story, I have a day one Stack Overflow account. I don't remember how I found it but I'm sure it was posted on digg or slashdot or something at the time. I had a lot of posts in the first few years about some generally broad concepts, and completely inactive since.

In spite of this, I am in the top 7% of accounts on the site, which is a nice reminder on the power of compound interest!

This is absolutely brilliant.
Re:Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses? on Monday April 13, 2020 @02:15PM (#22858378)
This is easily one of my favorite monthly services I subscribe to. I will say that a good reason why I believe it has been so successful, 1 best its a good idea, but 2 because your brother has responded to all of my questions and issues immediately and gracefully. That is the sign of a business that cares.
Re:Pattern Matching Custom Data Types in TypeScript on Saturday February 02, 2019 @10:21PM (#19067615)
I understand the sentiment, but really you should be disappointed in the ECMA standard, typescript only implements stage 3 and hire.
