Feels so strange to recognize what's out the window. I hope this cannot be used to find where they live!

Kids cured my nihilism. Since my first was born I feel more focused and find it easier to prioritize what's important. Could have never had this without the appropriate partner though.

The requirement to use Twitter is atrocious. Immediately a no-go for me.
Just bought a German copy. Spanish would be nice as well :)

How can you be sharing a link to twitter? And it has a screenshot of code! Does it need to be so hard to share some text?

Re:Show HN: I made an Animal Crossing style letter editor on Saturday August 30, 2025 @07:32AM (#45073776)
To be fair that's not the same at all. This one looks like the message boxes that appear during gameplay, while the submission is only about the letters you can send/receive in the game.

They complement each other nicely though.

Using. But also maybe abusing.
Re:Shared DNA in Music on Wednesday April 02, 2025 @01:01AM (#43553801)
Some sampling might be lazy, but there's plenty of impressive producers which take the art to the next level. Some suggestions you can sample: DJ Shadow, J Dilla, Madlib, The Avalanches, Statik Selektah. And as a bonus, an artist definitely not hip hop which makes beautiful use of sampling is Jens Lekman.

I will be charitable even though you called rap "lowest common denominator" poetry.

If you are genuinely interested, I suggest you look into the history of hip hop. IMO, the point of early hip hop was not to create sophisticated music, but to connect people by using sounds they were already familiar with. More important was the message and vocal delivery of the MC.

The editor behaves weirdly when I try to add comments.

It's hard to explain, but you can reproduce like this:

1. Write several lines, for example:

  select i.*, s.*
  from interviews i
  join suspects s
  on s.id = i.suspect_id

2. Try to comment each line on its own by typing -- in front of each line.

  -- select i.*, s.*
  from interviews i
  join suspects s
  on s.id = i.suspect_id



  -- select i.*, s.*
  -- from interviews i
  join suspects s
  on s.id = i.suspect_id

3. As soon as you do it for "from interviews i", that line will move itself to the previous line, and the syntax highlighting will be broken
I'd like to share mine as well. There's a bit of more interaction between particles but I don't remember the exact logic. Code should be easy to read: https://kaeruct.github.io/projects/short-experiments/dots/

Nah, I think a lot of people read comments.

Personally sometimes I don't even read the article, I only read the comments

ChatGPT says "While it's plausible that a human might write this content, the consistent tone, structure, and emphasis on fluency suggest it was either fully or partially generated by an LLM."

Definitely not as polished, but I make silly visual things from time to time and recently published my favorite ones here: https://kaeruct.github.io/gallery/
