News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

We vibe-coded a similar more pimative tool at work, the key difference is that it offers an endpoint were an agent can listen live to the comments and respond to them. So its way more interactive and comments can be discussed more specific. Did you ever consider that? Would you accept a PR that introduces that?
I'm in the same boat as the parent with helix. I like to think that its not about being able to type x chars more per second but rather doing some clever tricks sometimes with your IDE just because they safe you from boring work and is lots of fun. For example repeating the same action with macros across multiple files is so helpful and maybe only needed once a month or so, but oh boy, when you pull it off it is so fun and rewarding!
Is there any more info what open source actually means here? Is it only the 3D files to rebuild that thing on your own, or is actually also part of the software open source?

A small web Podcast player that simly does its core job properly. Meaning working autoplay, state syncing and good flaging of finished episodes. There are so many players who don't get that right, especially when listening to 'drama' Podcast, which have a kind of different usage pattern then tradition Podcasts. Once that is working I'm also keen on exploring automatic blocking of advetisment segments, but that is certainly a harder Problem.

Re:Rapier is a set of 2D and 3D physics engines written in Rust on Tuesday February 27, 2024 @02:08AM (#39521012)
I'm currently using xpbd to work on a physics driven 2d fighting game, and as of right now, I'm really enjoying it! Until now there was only one problem where some collisions would vanish for one frame. But stuff like that can be easily worked around and even better reported and fixed.
We recently implemented a kratos frontend in elixir and in general it was quite a plesant developer experience, despite some small rought edges in the documentation

Bitwarden. Very straight forward and open source
Re:Ask HN: What podcasts do you like? on Wednesday September 21, 2022 @08:29AM (#32924049)
I really enjoy the Open Source Security Podcast. There is quite a bit to learn while beeing entertaining and relaxing. The early episodes where more freestyle and grew more profesional over the time. Listening to older episodes is even a kind of history lession as it covers everything that happend in the last ~5 years.

I'm currently doing research on this topic and we internally settled on hawkBit and SWUpdate. Both are OpenSource and Feature rich, however ment for the more classic bare metal linux usecase, which means you will need a custom yocto OS.
Re:Ask HN: What should have been the term for RAII? on Tuesday June 07, 2022 @02:26PM (#31658258)
I also know it as 'janitor', but maybe thats not a known term or something different?
Re:Ask HN: Modern C++ Workflow? on Monday June 06, 2022 @02:53PM (#31644246)
I developed the entire C++ devops integration and workflow at my current job. While not having that much of background in it we ended up with an quite good setup.

2. CMake is the standard, works well and is very powerful, but also a bit of hasel and learning to set it up the first time. Personally I also liked meson, however its not as generic.

3. Conan is pretty cool, but still buggy at some cornors.

4. Clang and its tools a pretty nice.

5. We use VSCode, with the default C++ plugin from microsoft. The key for a good integration is the compile_commands.json file, so make sure to link it in the plugin and let it be generated by your build system.

6. Cache as much as possible, especially depedencies.

7. We use googletest, however personally i enjoyed catch2

Veloren, a multiplayer voxel RPG written in Rust. https://veloren.net While not finishes yet, already playable and lots of fun.
I'm now using a PineTime since a few months and quite like it. While it does not have that many features and is not the most stable one, it is very cheap and fully open source. The community is constantly working on the main OS and there are even a few alternative OS's to choose from. You can get an okeyisch Android integration with GadgedBridge.
