My partner and I rescued Ramón, our first cat ever, from outside a convenience store near our house. He was already an adult by the time we met him. We would always see him outside running from stray dogs (I'm from Mexico, specifically from an area with a lot of stray dogs and cat) and, generally, on alert.

Now, even if we leave our doors open he prefers to stay inside the house with his little brother Vicente, another cat we adopted. We regularly make new toys and play with them.

Vicente has been with us since he was around 1 month old (now 6 months old) so he's way more curious about the outside. We are preparing to start walking them out though I have a feeling we will have to drag Ramón out of the house.

I wouldn't feel bad for confining your cats to your house! They are probably very happy :)

I tried Rive Editor and I could not export my animation unless I upgraded to a paid plan, not even to a proprietary format. The free plan is is just a demo with no real world usage, not even for hobby.

A bit mad because I spent more time playing with it than I would like to admit

The test:

> The car wash is 100m away from my house. Should I walk or drive?

I didn't find a way to share the conversation, so here it is the full response in `medium` settings:

---

Walking 100 m is a very short distance—roughly a minute or two at a normal pace. In most situations, walking will be quicker overall because you avoid the time needed to get into the car, start it, and find parking. It also saves fuel and is better for the environment.

*Consider these factors before deciding:*

| Factor | Walking | Driving | |--------|---------|---------| | *Time* | ~1–2 min (plus a few seconds to step out) | ~1 min driving, plus ~1–2 min to get in/out and park | | *Energy/Fuel* | None | Uses a small amount of fuel | | *Weather* | Comfortable if dry & mild | Better if it’s raining, very hot, or icy | | *Physical ability* | Easy for most people | Not needed for such a short trip | | *Car availability* | Not required | Must have a car nearby and be willing to use it | | *Environmental impact* | Zero emissions | Small emissions |

*Recommendation:* If the weather is pleasant and you don’t need the car for anything else right away, walking is the simplest, fastest, and most eco‑friendly choice. Drive only if you’re dealing with inclement weather, have heavy items to carry, or need the car immediately after the wash.

Do you have any specific constraints (e.g., rain, heavy bags, time pressure) that might affect the decision?

I spent this weekend writing a terminal emulator to run `claude` on it and generate an API around the TUI.

This is the equivalent of not being able to use X's API and using a browser to scrape it instead.

It's pretty cool what you can do once you emulate the terminal.

I only made it work with Claude Code but this approach can easily be adapted to Gemini CLI

I've been developing SubJS, a JS Runtime tool for agents, for the past couple days. I believe that something like this is the way to give more capabilities to AI agents instead of MCP servers or shelling out.

Let me know your thoughts :)

Maybe this is about doing GET requests to render images in documents or something similar? Not just arbitrarily requesting every link in a file

This is cool! I made a similar project to this one when we switched from GraphQl to regular REST at $work but decided to drop it since I didn't have the bandwidth to work on it.

I see editor support for VSCode, but is it backed by an LSP or is it VSCode only?

I believe they are father and son. The `Books` section on the Toledo family website links to books written by Oscar Toledo G.
I don't see it either on a desktop pc.

I see an `iframe` with this url [1] but the `<body>` of the document is empty. It's very likely you have to change the protocol to `https` (instead of `http`), otherwise the browser refuses to load the url automatically.

It's also the behavior on Linux with X11 (haven't tried Wayland)

I think they most likely will introduce `@layout`s and then your components can be in a different layout than your app code

Re:A small Rust binary indeed (2022) on Sunday February 18, 2024 @09:09PM (#39425541)
Could it be that the gnu toolchain embeds the debug symbols in the binary and the msvc toolchain puts them on a separate pdb file?

You can search for "no_zap" under the `denoland` org if you want to have a bit more context.

I believe it's a form of type checking where, simplifying, things like function bodies are removed and type checking is only done across top-level items.

Re:Starship.rs: minimal, fast prompt for any shell on Friday January 26, 2024 @01:21AM (#39139464)
"it's just..." is kinda demeaning.

People want something easy to use with good defaults. If that wasn't the case, shells wouldn't have a hundreds of plugins dedicated to customizing the prompt.

> The jsx stuff looks fancy, but it completely breaks Rust Analyzer

That's not inherent of macros, but how the parser of the macro body is written. Ideally, the jsx code would be transformed to correct Rust code even on broken input, then Rust Analyzer would map the tokens from the expansion to the tokens from the source code to have context for IDE features (rename, autocompletion, go to definition, etc).

I wrote some stuff [1]. It's a bit all over the place since I'm very bad at writing. Here's also a thread with Rust Analyzer's developers [2]

That's interesting. I think I read about this website redirecting HN users before.

I can't trigger that redirect on Firefox or Chromium browsers, though. It seems HN puts a `noreferrer` on the link.

Have you tried DNS over HTTPS?

If you haven't and you're on Firefox, go to `about:preferences#privacy`, then scroll to the bottom and you should be able to activate it there.
