Why are the rounded edges for eg.: on MacBook Neo defined as small distance specs instead of a radius?

Re:Show HN: Creating OCD versions of a yearly calendar on Friday April 10, 2026 @07:00AM (#47716221)
I'm really interested if there are more historical attempts that I'm not aware of!

I've added: - Soviet Revolutionary Calendar - Ancient Egyptian - French Republican - Intl Fixed Calendar

I'm a big fan of history's many attempts to square the circle: divide a hard to factorized number (days in a year) into even chunks, without sacrificing things like agricultural seasons.This little project explores different calendar versions. I have highlighted my favorite solution :)- 6 days / week - 5 weeks / month - 3 months / quarter - 4 quarters / yearAs a good European the remainder 5...

I'm also happy to talk through the process of how I built this.

Would it make sense to open source this?

Show HN: TinyCard – The TinyLetter of Greeting Cards

https://tinycard.app/

My brother turned 39, I shipped his gift from a shop directly to him (we live in different countries and couldn't travel home due to my son being born)... Shop wouldn't let me add a postcard. So I went looking for a quick e-card service and every single one was painful; Hallmark wants a subscription, Paperless Post has a coin system, Canva technically works but you're designing a greeting card...

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I've thought about making this more generic and not just about a gift :) I'll put it on my todo to update it.

Regarding the photo credit & expiration, I'll see how I can move it a bit more to the bottom.

Any bug report/improvement is welcome

My brother just had his 39th birthday and as we live in different cities I sent a present to him directly from the shop (it was a gym bag for those who are curious).The shop didn't let me add a postcard or anything personal to the package so I went looking for an easy/fast eCard service that I considered aesthetically pleasing.It was a very frustrating search. I thought of creating it with...

Show HN: Our calendar is political, not mathematical – explore alternatives

https://calendar-architect.pages.dev

365 is nearly prime (5×73), which is why our months are uneven and weeks don't fit into months. But 360 has 24 divisors — swap 5 days for year-end holidays and you unlock dozens of clean calendar systems where every month is identical.I built a tool to explore them all: pick a base, see every valid factorization, compare against Gregorian side-by-side.

Show HN: Create new calendar systems to fix uneven months

https://calendar-architect.pages.dev/

I was playing around with divisors of numbers near 365 and realized you can generate a ton of valid calendar systems by picking a highly composite base (like 360) and treating the leftover days as end-of-year extra holidays.365 is nearly prime (5×73), which is why our months are such a mess. But 360 has 24 divisors; enough to build clean hierarchies like 6-day weeks, 5-week months, 3-month...

When I select a destination at a bus stop or train station the listings only show the specifics but not the city itself. This kind of defeats the whole purpose as its essentially randomly clicking around

You can pass in @workspace before the prompt (in copilot chat) and it looks at the full context. It works OK, I could imaging Cursor being more powerful in this!

> With a “designator” time that doesn’t mean much

This might not 'mean much' to the computer, but it means a lot to the human. The computer uses it to communicate with the human and the humans between each other. When I arrange a meeting across timezones I will say CET 16.00 or ET3.00PM and they will understand it faster than saying how much offset we are from UCT.

This is great, similar to the Johnny Cash video! Although that had a bit better execution, users could submit however many they wanted and you could select multiple version of a frame.

Will the voices be dubbed by the community aswell? If not, how does this evade the copyright issue?
