Re:Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use? on Wednesday December 13, 2023 @04:48AM (#38624934)

Using https://wwebjs.dev/ to read my whatsapp messages, redis for storage/interop, and a script written for https://github.com/matryer/xbar for a "GUI", instead of running WhatsApp Desktop / WhatsApp Web on my machine (very bad for my attention), I have a status bar icon saying when did I last get a message from my wife, and the text of the last few messages.

Re:Interactive GCC (igcc) is a read-eval-print loop (REPL) for C/C++ on Thursday September 28, 2023 @02:29AM (#37686040)

Compiling diffs - but if the user experience is REPL-ish and it can help some people learn the _basics_ of the language, what's wrong with that?

(Wrong as in "murdering puppies" wrong, not as in "here are the downsides of X" which I believe exist for every X.)

Re:Ask HN: Do you work nights/weekends? on Monday April 17, 2023 @12:26PM (#35603026)

Yes. Arriving ~8:30, leaving ~15:30, working nights/weekends to make ends meet. As far as I'm the one putting my kids into their schools and taking them out at the end of the day, I am happy. I wanted to do this since I was a kid and my dad would leave to work at 06:00 and return home 18:00. Yay, psychology!

Thank you! Sorry, but no. Something open source that immediately opened to an example tutorial of theirs.

Ask HN: Tool for iterating through a codebase in a tutorial-like manner?

from the ask-hn dept.

Apologies (=please delete this) if this is inappropriate.A few weeks ago a tool was featured here on HN.In a web UI, multi-pane user interface, you could show documentation while at the same time iterating through specific parts of the code in another pane.Does this sound familiar to anyone? I remember it having either `story`, `notebook` or `code` in its name, which makes it a pretty hard...

Re:Ask HN: What weird technical scene are you fond/part of? on Monday November 21, 2022 @03:01PM (#33697162)

Databending. Which is applying random noise to a file in order to generate something that still decodes well, but has some weird/cool glitch. I went to a workshop about this in some underground club that no longer operates; still thinking about it and toying around from time to time. This was waaaay before Dall-E et al. were cool ways to generate quasi-crappy images.

It's definitely an overkill in terms of recreating a social network, but maybe they'll get there eventually. The @pomochat user in the chatroom seems to be the devs listening to ideas (and people are making proposals).
