Yep, that's what it is.

Show HN: Cargo Dispatch – a programming puzzle game about warehouse automation

https://matthuggins.com/lab/cargo-dispatch

Hi HN! I built Cargo Dispatch, a programming puzzle game where you write code to automate warehouse robots that move packages between stations. It started as a small weekend project, and I used Claude Code to help iterate quickly on parts of the UI and simulation logic.Instead of manually controlling robots, you write a small TypeScript or JavaScript function that decides how robots behave....

Are we great yet?

Where can I find docs about Claude @ syntax?

    I wish to opt out of receiving exclusive promotional offers and updates about products I might be interested in.
I legitimately think the phrasing on this one is wrong if you're expecting unchecking it to be the way to avoid a dark pattern. The follow-up explanation is written as though there's a double negative, but there isn't one here.

Other than that, fun project!

No sound on Edge either.

We also used to use image maps for this kind of thing, at least once that tag became available. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ma...

I set this up for my daughter on her MacBook, and she quite enjoys the custom cursors. It definitely requires some technical expertise even after installing the app though, as it doesn't ship with extra cursors; you have to configure them yourself.

I never even accept the iTunes TOS on any MacBook I purchase. I just refuse to let it run.

Did you see his update below that paragraph? He admits that he had to update everything, and his pages are not currently a time capsule. It basically negates his entire message.
Good job selling yourself this time!
Here's an idea for OP:

- track what users are searching for in an area (e.g. toilet paper)

- use GPS to determine who is at a store nearby that hasn't had that item updated recently

- prompt the user via notification with something like "Does [grocery store you're in] have toilet paper in stock?"

Admittedly it's not motivating anyone to answer, but it might help to keep data fresh.

Google Drive does this within Google Chrome, fwiw. I don't disagree with the spirit of your comment though.
As a developer, the Touch Bar as a whole is trash. I want to type without looking at the keyboard, and now I suddenly always have to look at the keyboard.

Accidentally pressing the escape key is just one of many issues I have with that "feature".

What if you tried to sort an array of objects or functions?
Looks like a Geocities site. Would have been great 25 years ago. :)

They went back on that decision.
Sounds like the app I'm building now. :)
Funny, I use Facebook for the exact inverse of this. I actively avoid messenger, group, and event features. I use it to keep in touch with family and share family photos.
