This website almost crashed my m1 macbook pro (renders at 1 fps or something), so I guess point taken: rendering text is not simple!
My friend had a very similar episode with a psychosis, but turned out to be bipolar, not schizophrenic. Sounds very similar though!

He was smoking a lot of weed leading up to and during the psychosis.

Ended up in psychiatric ward for a month, which was followed by a couple of years of depression/introspection/therapy, but is now doing great with lithium.

Re:Ask HN: Where do I find good code to read? on Thursday August 24, 2023 @10:32AM (#37249168)
I do not think that book is a good suggestion for good or readable code, and also there is this (which in many situations will not matter, but still): https://www.computerenhance.com/p/clean-code-horrible-perfor...

Someone who does writes quite clean code is in my opinion Tsoding: https://www.youtube.com/@TsodingDaily Strongly recommend his YouTube channel!

Since there are no namespaces in C one kind of weird advantage of this is that raylib will stay out of your own (proper) namespace :)

Don't miss the opportunity to add in some of those fancy SIMD instructions as well somehow!
Hi, looks super cool!

Just some quick feedback from the first things I tried in the app (which did not work). It has to do with currency conversion: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/93975/191202587-9b...

A bit sad as the thing that made me decide to not even try their app (which looked cool!) was the abysmal performance (in FF).
When starting my freelance career back in 2012 I had a pretty simple idea on how to track time using only google calendar and this tiny web app I wrote. Used it literally every workday since then, and even got a colleague (another freelancer) to use it with the quote “the first time tracker to ever work for me, and I’ve tried a lot!”. He is still using it last time I checked.

So I guess it is actually used by one more person than me!

This happened to me as well, so sad! I fell your pain.

Yeah, it's a really awesome book and censoring the language as you go isn't that hard really!
Re:Pippi and the Moomins on Thursday November 12, 2020 @10:01AM (#25070576)
Yes mainly. Pippi, Tommy and Annika also goes to his little island where he is king, and the language in that chapter is not the greatest!
Re:Pippi and the Moomins on Thursday November 12, 2020 @08:42AM (#25069720)
It is also absolutley filled with the n-word (at least my Swedish edition from the 90's), which always makes for an interesting challenge having to censor and come up with alternative words as you go.

A friend of a friend had a break in in his house last week and could see the burglars in his kids room via his cameras on his phone.

He also had the hopeless feeling of there being nothing to do, but had some sort of Eureka-moment and started playing “Fuck the police” on max volume on the floor above (all via his phone), and that apparently sent the burglars running!

(When he later talked to the cops they did call him a genius but questioned the song choice.)

Re:Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project? on Thursday May 14, 2020 @08:01AM (#23178426)
Trail Router seems very good, expected it to not work in the small-ish Swedish town I live in (Malmö) but it actually did a great job!
I have been wondering about this as well, about what would happen to AMD/Intel Hackintoshes if Apple was to switch to their own processors. However, wouldn't the assumption that they would stop working also assume that all current Macs (which run Intel processors) would also stop working? Would there not have to be at least like 5 years of continued support of at least Intel processors which would also mean that Hackintoshes could keep working?

Disclaimer: I do not know very much about Hackinthoses, but I have been wanting one more and more the for the last couple of months when more and more successful AMD builds have been created!

Re:OK Soda on Tuesday April 07, 2020 @06:26AM (#22801962)
Yes, for some reason reading/looking at this made me super nostalgic as well! Just want to sit in a couch in the mid 90's and listen to CD's and watch Beavis and Butthead and read stuff in magazines instead of on the internet.

Very strong melancholic feeling.

Ultra running is actually one of few sports where men and women are quite close, so I would not agree at all that it's "extremely rare for women to have such good endurance".
