Re:Outbid – A Million Dollar Homepage for 2026? on Thursday August 20, 2026 @05:46PM (#49380708)
Someone just paid $10k to get #1 spot on outbid.lol
Enjoyed watching this crazy simulations while I was eating my chees-cake.
Great stuff, but the license killed the "open source" vibe. I wanted to use in my project, and yes its commercial, video editing would be only small part of it.
I wanted to share esm.sh because it goes way beyond a basic CDN. It’s essentially 'esbuild-as-a-service.'

A few things that impressed me:

You can import .tsx or .vue files directly and it compiles them on the server. It has a ?worker query that turns any module into a Web Worker automatically. It’s fully compatible with Deno and JSR.

I am wondering will HN look in 22 years exactly the same. I am 38yo now.

One of the projects I am working on with my wife is https://vanila.io where we provide real quality, relevant backlinks for B2B SaaS.
Cool daddy. BTW, there is round corner cutter on Amazon for few dollars.
> The material expenditures on the towers were enormous; 192,000 tons of steel, 425,000 cubic yards of concrete, 43,600 windows with 572,000 square feet of glass, 1,143,000 square feet of aluminum sheet, 198 miles of ductwork, and 12,000 miles of electrical cable.

The towers also provided an extraordinary employment opportunity for the construction workers of the region. More than 3,500 people were employed continuously on-site during construction.

> A total of 10,000 people were involved in its construction. Tragically, 60 people were killed during construction.

During their lifetimes the towers were host to the birth of 17 babies and 19 murders.

Fifty thousand people called the towers their place of work and on many days tens of thousands visited.

This is one of the best demos of Game of Life. I guess its just looping, and not all the movements are calculated, since you can zoom out till infinity?

Correct me if I am wrong.

Re:What Can You Do with a Particle? [video] on Friday January 24, 2025 @10:40PM (#42819269)
Stumbled across this insanely underrated creator who made a super cool video about how particles work with WebGL. He explains it in such a chill, easy-to-get way and shows off some wild stuff he built.

Enjoyed reading your story. Hoe you find your purpose in life, but not searching it.

Like other commenters mentioned here, lifting people around you, not just your friends and family, but random ones, might give you some joy.

Re:I algorithmically donated $5000 to Open Source on Saturday December 07, 2024 @08:47PM (#42354356)
By the way, a lot of money goes to open-source projects via donations in exchange for an SEO backlink. A lot of stuff going down there.

I wanted to see if chatGPT will be able to understand the meaning of this comic, and i think it did.

*Gpt message:*

This comic humorously highlights a critical issue in the tech world: the dependency of massive modern digital infrastructure on small, often overlooked, and underfunded components maintained by individual contributors. The large stack in the illustration represents the complex and sprawling "modern digital infrastructure," while the tiny piece at the bottom, maintained by a "random person in Nebraska," symbolizes open-source software or obscure tools that are crucial for the functioning of this entire system.

The key message is that large systems often rely on foundational work done by unsung heroes who may not receive the recognition, support, or resources they deserve, despite the critical nature of their contributions. This comic resonates particularly with the tech community, where dependencies on small open-source projects are common.

Re:Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)? on Saturday October 12, 2024 @05:56AM (#41817918)
Yeah, it’s a bit late since it’s already October, but I’m working on a few areas. One is digging deep into AI and how to integrate it with web automation, especially with the tool I’ve been building for a couple of years, https://automatio.ai.

We’re focusing on improving multi-threading, releasing smaller packages, and working on documentation. A lot of effort also went into content creation and boosting the site’s domain authority and backlinks.
