This is one of my favorite videos. After the first penguin jumps the crowd follows till then they confused. Regardless the sight of penguin jumping is breathtaking.
Hehe. Definitely not to avoid the company micro time tracking their employees.
To OP, Great work, for keeping the verbal poetry alive. PEACE
Kudos for living this lifestyle, those pants look really sick..
After the introduction of agentic code tools, the development speed has increased rapidly, but i have been struggling to keep up with the verification of these tools, since some of these things "just work"(reminds me of the old joke, "it compiles").So i wanted to know whether this is a me problem, or others are also going through it and what your workflow for this looks like. but mostly I'm...

Hi HN,I had to put some prototype together in python and I just find it hard to work with it now. Python is something I used to regularly write and then ship code asap, now all the various scenarios where it can fail just runs in my head and I end up implementing multiple strict checks in places and even then I'm just bothered about future changes breaking these things. I'm skeptical and I have...
> I have an idea of how to solve the font issue (https://git.sr.ht/~pkal/ecg/tree/master/item/ecg.lisp#L342), but on my systems this never gives me all the fonts.
if i read it correctly `document.fonts` reads like "get all the fonts used on this web page" rather than "get me all the fonts installed on this computer".
Here are some of the things i was confused about, or thought could be improved.
1. The label of checkbox don't seem to respond to clicks.
2. On Font Input, There's no description or selections on what inputs are acceptable.
3. There is no mention of Javascript in programming language support section. iirc typescript package can handle js mode apart from the default builtin support for js. A mention of js would have be nice.
P.S: don't take this to mean i hate on racket, i'm just complaining about the default state of racket/gui, there have been attempts to improve it by 3rd party libraries(https://docs.racket-lang.org/gui-easy/index.html).
What are the ideas in programming that once you saw you could never go back looking into other programs the same way. For e.g, one a recent HN thread about units[0] one user shared a F# snippet like this unit type Meters = m unit type Seconds = s val speed = 5.4 m/s I'm unfamiliar with F# but having units right next to value is something i'll be remembering everyday from now...
I have a hard time with this. Earlier i used stuff like imdb and goodreads to determine and then i realized i don't like more than half of what i consume. Later i started asking what my friends liked, and consumed as per their recommendations, had a similar experience but this time around whenever i didn't like something, i complained to my friend and we had long discussions about it sometimes spanning multiple days. i found this approach better even if it sometimes meant consuming the trend of the week. After doing that for an year or two i started doing to consume/save-for-later anything that remotely looked interesting. These days I'm still following that approach. i still come across a lot of cheap makes but i think these help me to judge what's good and what's not. I mostly bring up this argument as i strongly believe "best" is subjective And going by all time classics or other people's recommendations you may miss out a chance to discover for yourself what is truly best for you. This was a straw man argument. Ignore it if it doesn't apply to you. But i'm curious on how you determine what makes "highest kind" and "best" before consuming it.

I couldn't find this book.
Among lot of books i've read this was the one that pushed me towards questioning my beliefs. Although i can't say this book made me irreligious it certainly was a gateway to a whole new world.
* Calvin and Hobbes.
this is one of those things that completely changed my perspective on creativity, oh and not to mention all the things about life and philosophy in there, its in good spirit.
* Animal Farm
This is arguably the best piece of satire I've read that is also fun and easy on the brain. It flows like water.
* The Little Schemer.
I hold this book dear. I've tried reading SICP twice and given up. And thought LISP was not for me. The environment was horrible, all those parens it was just confusing. This book changed that, what it encouraged me to do is grab a pen and paper and try to work everything out myself[1]. It was such a fun read and i owe most of my understanding of functional programming to this book. Few days after finishing this book, i introduced this book to my friend and we spent all our days discussing life listening to sufjan stevens and working through this book, it was a sweet time.

[1] I wrote my actual scheme programs on computer long after i had worked through the book(i don't recall exactly but it was after 5th or 6th chapter). An online friend of mine recommended that i try DrRacket as i could execute scheme there. It was a much friendlier environment.
