HackerTube ... HackerBooks ... Wikihack ...

I close my eyes and set out on a journey to explore an imaginary island. It almost always begins on a sun-drenched beach. Usually, I’ve already fallen asleep after just a few meters...

Good article, but I would rephrase the core principle slightly:

Never let Claude write code until you’ve reviewed, *fully understood* and approved a written plan.

In my experience, the beginning of chaos is the point at which you trust that Claude has understood everything correctly and claims to present the very best solution. At that point, you leave the driver's seat.

Since the article is from June, does anyone know what happened to the gosling?

I would sign up for the course immediately!

What I would be particularly interested in: What is the creative process of turning an animation idea into code? Suppose I have an idea of what the animation should look like: What is the best way to approach the task of expressing the animation in code?

The truth is: We will never know for sure.

Have a look at the German aviation pioneer "Gustav Weißkopf" aka "Gustave Whitehead":

regardless of all the corrections, questions and additions here: it was a lot of fun to go on a world tour on my old globe and find out when the map was from: 1975. :-)

Why is the "Approximate Energy Deposition" (!= visibility?) on the side facing the sun much lower than on the side facing away from the sun? Shouldn't it be about the same?

Hacker News is refreshingly constructive compared to other discussion forums. Seriously!

For example, the very popular German computer magazine c't has a news ticker where public contributions are allowed. Reading the comments there is extremely frustrating and depressing. Most posts almost always follow the same pattern: something in the news article is wrong or not clear enough, which is then complained about in a smug way. Next comes the wiseacre comments. If that's not enough, people express their own displeasure or negative view of something in connection with the article, in other words: rant. Keyboard warriors often have a rendezvous there. Information or constructive criticism is by now extremely rare there, at least compared to Hacker News. I've stopped reading the comments there!

...and that's exactly why I like being here and why I also enjoy reading your comments, because they often usefully complement the actual topic. :-)

If you own a Synology NAS I recommend to have a look at synOCR:

I've been using this for several years and it works great.

I'd love to know what really went on between Jeff Minter and Atari back in 2015 over Tempest 4k. It was an unbelievable mud fight:
