This is really some low quality slop and the irony is that this horrible UI should hypothetically represent a website about good UI

What a wonderful article, and what a wonderful way of enganging with students and adapting to the new tech. I wish all professors were like you

This is amazing and a security flaw waiting to be exploited
Re:I have tinnitus. I don't recommend it on Thursday May 22, 2025 @03:44AM (#44059687)
I've had tinnitus since birth, or at least for as long as I can remember. I learned to live with it, and now it's nothing more than a conversational topic for me.
A follow-up analysis 10 years later would be really interesting

Yeah Reentry it's nothing like KSP. It's like comparing Mario Kart (KSP) to Project Cars (Reentry) :D
This is amazing
Re:Ask HN: I don't use AI. What exactly am I missing out on? on Wednesday February 28, 2024 @07:46AM (#39537143)
Lots of great insights here. Personally, I use ChatGPT as a "sparring partner": I present an idea and talk with it to elaborate it further. Wether it's about programming, science, writing prompts or game design, among other examples. Another great use case is to use ChatGPT to speed up chores, like hard to remember syntax or functions that are easy but boring to think and write, like parsers. Or even thinking about how to build the architecture of a certain application.
Re:Ask HN: How many of you Apple developers still use Objective C? on Wednesday February 21, 2024 @02:20AM (#39451004)
We're still using a lot of Objective-C, given than more than half of the codebase of our app is 10+ years old. We're trying to transition to Swift, but it's been slow thus far.

This is an amazing resource! Thanks for sharing
I've had it since I can remember. One of my earliest memories, I was 1 or 2 years old, was "playing" with it while falling asleep at night: I'd focus on it and made the ringing grow louder and louder till it was the only sound in my ears, then it steadily grew quiter till I fell asleep. Nowadays, I'm 27 years old, my brain filters it out, but I can still hear it when it's quite. Perhaps it's one of the reasons I always have some background lofi music playing.

Show HN: Android port of 3D Space Cadet Pinball

https://github.com/fexed/Pinball-on-Android

Hi HN! Starting from a work made by k4zmu2a and Iscle, and thanks to feedback from a bunch of users to which I am very grateful, I recently updated this Android port of the famous Pinball game that each of us played on Windows XP as kids. We also put together an online leaderboard (which has been kind of broken but now shoudl work as expected). Hope you'll like it!
