a major factor is the lack of societal assimilation.

with separate schooling systems, many Malaysians grow up in ethnic silos, which fundamentally hinders national unity even beyond any legal framework

This is very inspiring. I quit using Flutter because the required size was too large, including cache and so on. I’m only using a 256GB Mac M1.

Anyway, the UI is beautiful, you must have some design skills already.

Re:Show HN: I made a drag and drop CSS grid generator on Saturday July 13, 2024 @05:25AM (#40952845)
Tools like this are actually very helpful especially if you are learning to understand them.

A few years ago, I found a site generator similar to this one, but it wasn't drag and drop. I can't remember the name of the site.

From there I learned about grid-template-columns, gap, and some basic things about CSS grid. It didn't cover everything, but it introduced me to how the grid works when I was just learning about it.

Keep up the good work. It will always make it easy for people to learn, or use it directly.

Recently, I've been looking for a suitable stack for another pet project. Personally my go-to stack is Remix.

But I want to use a server other than the default provided by Remix, i.e minimal Express. So, I found Hono. It looks interesting because it can run on many runtimes, and this time I want to try using Bun.

After researching Hono, it turns out it can render JSX directly from the server, which piqued my interest. Then I tried to make the JSX interactive, and finally, I used htmx. Lol.

And just yesterday, after spending hours I found a way to use PDFKit with Hono (Bun runtime), so I created a gist for reference:

Anyway I'm still cautious about putting this Hono + htmx stack into production use.

my eyes!
Yes, it was ffmpeg. Some operations, ie audio preview and video clipping to create segments from start-end, are performed as needed in the background.

I've tried using ffmpeg-wasm, but it has some limitations. I find that native ffmpeg is much more effective than the wasm version.

I'm a video editor, but not very professional. I mostly edit speech and podcast videos to highlight interesting parts and make short clips. I've found that the most time-consuming task is finding interesting segments in a full-length video.It usually takes me 2-3 hours of continuous listening just to find the 'timestamps' where the interesting points start and end. I'm referring to source...

Searching something like this for months. I ended up having an Asus Zenfone 8.
