Re:Show HN: Version 2 of the Savitar macOS MUD client on Tuesday August 18, 2026 @07:19AM (#49344043)
Early last month, Savitar v2 entered public beta. One of the unexpected joys of reaching this point has been hearing from people I hadn't heard from in years from the time Savitar v1 was popular.
This is absolutely brilliant! Well done.

Yeah. Strikingly similar.

I ran into this problem too. I sold it by hitting the return key on the keyboard.
Finally, a news app for me, bravo! Minor nit: please place the date, time, and byline at the tip of articles — useful for sharing.
Now, if we could undo the use of “usage”

(Trying hard not to mention “functionality”, too. Ooops.) :-)

What if the universe was much older?

I’m interested in knowing more about your implementation.

I played this game on MECC in 1974.
Heh. I came here to say this.

He also repeatedly states the events of 1997 happened 35 years ago. Heh.
Re:Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate? on Saturday January 01, 2022 @03:50PM (#29762602)
That's a good idea. Of course, sharing your screen at all would be optional in the "Let's have some company while we're working on stuff" friendly circle of folks.
Re:Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate? on Saturday January 01, 2022 @11:14AM (#29759747)
Right. But instead of one presenter with viewers its many to many.

The timing of this post is amazing me. Just an hour ago I was doing an internet search for how to host or participate in screen sharing while working on pet hobby projects. My thinking was “coding a side project on your own can get lonesome and stall. Wouldn’t it be neat to hangout with devs while coding, even if not speaking that much. Can share screens, be supportive.”
Re:Feasibility of a Dune Ornithopter on Saturday October 23, 2021 @02:35AM (#28966263)
There’s mention of “stages” of navigators in one (or more?) of the books. Stage 3, as I recall are the advanced form in the tank.
Assigning the moniker “hero” to people responsible for developing nuclear annihilation?

Thank you for posting it. The story has brought to me a number of ideas for me to reflect on.

Re:Car Paint Colors Have Gotten More Boring over the Years on Monday October 12, 2020 @07:34AM (#24753365)
While we’re on the subject of boring color trends, I’d be curious to see a similar graph for US house paint colors. It seems to have become dominated by variations of gray

Even McDonald’s, a once vibrantly colored place has turned gray.

That’s exactly how I learned to code. Retyping code from Byte magazine, Dr. Dobbs, and Apple Incider.
I'll settle for becoming "non-interventionist" -- we need to stop being the world's police. Show me where in the Constitution that is. If you can, I'll happily go silent.
Images of Gomez Addams come to mind....
