Love the idea, I've been looking for similar tool for a while. Will try.

There is a tool called qrazy box https://merri.cx/qrazybox/ It allows you to essentially remake a damaged or partially hidden QR code pixel by pixel, but has some limitations.
In Jet Brains family IDEs (not sure how they call the go one) you can use Inject language or reference option to get most of editor support (inspections,highlighting,intellisense etc.) for snippets of one language embedd in files of another language. I've been using it with JS scripts inside custom xml for a while and it works pretty well.

Ask HN: How are small and medium IT companies doing?

After reading about stripe and twitter layoffs, and other large tech companies stopping recruitment, i started wondering about small and medium companies, software houses etc. How are they doing? Do they also stop recruiting and are preparing to lay off some people? Can you share your insight?

The way gr:w was built helicopters do make a lot of sense, planes too. The parachuting part does not make a lot of sense, but some sort of mechanic for fast traveling was necessary, and there were not many places to land. Terrible controls didn't help in that regard.

Sounds good, I'd play it as long as it was first person, and had much better controls for planes and helicopters.

There is a game called radio commander on steam, which seems very close to your description. https://store.steampowered.com/app/871530/Radio_Commander/

Sounds like titanfall 2, other than the battle royale part.

A full on space war sim. Think foxhole or planetside, but with additional features, like strategic aspect (stellaris, with simpler resource management and way smaller map - 10-20 star systems would be plenty) for strategy players who take role of government and fleet strategists, tactical aspects for fleet commanders (something like battlefleet gothic armada would be close enough), individual ships controlled by players or ai, from carriers and battleships to individual fighters (star citizen, x4, elite dangerous). All that with system rewarding players for following orders, option to court martial those who notoriously ignore them, and star system capture mechanics. Another layer of boarding ships, stations and planetary assaults would be great too.
Re:Ask HN: Please Dark Mode for HN on Thursday April 29, 2021 @05:37AM (#26979069)
Vivaldi mobile browser can force dark mode on websites, it looks similar to what Dark Reader extension does on desktop. Works well for HN, but breaks some websites and you can only enable it globally.
