Go on Grindr, have hookups, wait till one gets attached.
Re:Flipbook – Animated QR Codes on Tuesday September 10, 2024 @11:45AM (#41501978)
If you're serious about making this a standard, you should think about making it a proposal to be an ISO standard, much like how QR codes are.
Re:Flipbook – Animated QR Codes on Monday September 09, 2024 @09:44PM (#41496385)
This would be cool – the problem, 99.999% (source: I made it up) of people just know to open the camera app to scan a QR code. So if this is displayed publicly, nobody would know how to scan it without going to another website anyway, which I feel defeats the purpose. Very interesting implementation though!
Re:Cosmic Alpha Released on Wednesday August 28, 2024 @07:39AM (#41378412)
M1 with Asahi is a very bad idea, unless you want to be wrestling your computer to barely work. Either get a Framework laptop, or one of the new Asus Zenbook S 16 laptops (I just got one, and it's really nice. Works on Arch Linux with some kernel patches, which can be gotten pretty easily via the linux-mainline-um5606 AUR package).

They got DOOM running on a diffusion engine before GTA 6
Re:Ask HN: Fastest Async Front-End? on Tuesday August 27, 2024 @09:43PM (#41375193)
Just use whatever stack you like tbh. I personally like Vue for very reactive web apps.
Tried with a couple of my repos, seems like nothing more than a LinkedIn slop generator with the most generic rephrased descriptions imaginable.
Touch screen support depends on your desktop environment, I'd recommend giving a modern GNOME + Wayland setup a try. As for battery life...yeah, that's hit or miss. There's some management tools that can help sometimes.
That's really weird, I also have a Gullikit controller (the one with the hall effect sticks) and it works perfect OOTB on my desktop & laptop, both running Linux. Maybe try switching the mode on the controller to Windows/Android instead of Nintendo Switch?
Yeah, definitely for multiplayer. Love what Valve is doing though, hopefully more companies will follow suit.
Idk, I think most beginner distros are fine. If my dad (who primarily uses Apple products, browses the web, checks email, that's it) can figure out Fedora + GNOME, I think anyone can.
And why aren't more people switching to an OS that respects them (like Linux)?
Re:Ask HN: No one is buying our SaaS. Are we doomed? on Wednesday August 14, 2024 @05:25PM (#41250673)
There's so much saturation in the SaaS/"indie hacker" space, basically anything that could be done is already done. The nicher you get, the easier it is to either implement yourself or build an actual consumer app around.
Re:Ask HN: No one is buying our SaaS. Are we doomed? on Monday August 05, 2024 @06:27PM (#41166194)
SaaS is dying, time to build consumer-facing experiences lol
Re:Show HN: Horizon – Private alternative to Imgur on Monday July 15, 2024 @11:04PM (#40973373)
So... it's an S3 bucket with a CDN?
As someone in Gen Z, I seriously hope this trend doesn't continue...
Re:Player.js 2.0 Is Released on Thursday July 04, 2024 @02:47PM (#40877118)
I don't see any release notes or even a tag. What new features are there?
Re:A Rant about Front-end Development on Friday June 21, 2024 @12:51AM (#40746248)
This screams "old man yells at cloud". Boo hoo, someone used an unordered list for numbered content? Who cares.
Re:Any programmers here also play instruments? on Wednesday June 19, 2024 @06:45PM (#40733195)
Piano, also used to play violin
Re:iPadian Brings Apple Intelligence to Windows on Friday June 14, 2024 @03:52PM (#40684391)
I love how they claim 14 million downloads, 9 million "happy users" and 1 million DAU, yet they have no download page and this is the first I've ever heard of them. Lmao.
I don't see a good reason not to run most apps locally.

Rare Twitch W?
Re:Ask HN: How to use LLM to update app UI/UX dynamically? on Thursday June 06, 2024 @01:48AM (#40593933)
It's a bad idea in general. Users would be annoyed, AI generated code is unreliable, just hire human engineers and listen to customer feedback.
Tbh, not seeing the utility since that's the case, and I'd imagine a majority of Arch users looking for something like this already have reflector.
Re:We need to finish building the Fediverse on Wednesday June 05, 2024 @08:58PM (#40592319)
As someone who built on ActivityPub (the Fediverse) with mild success for a while (Firefish, 30K ATU/peak 10K MAU), I think ActivityPub has too many deep rooted flaws and years of tech debt from poort design choices to ever be viable long-term.
Re:Ask HN: How to use LLM to update app UI/UX dynamically? on Wednesday June 05, 2024 @08:52PM (#40592293)
This is a bad idea. Sorry to be blunt.
Re:Google acquires Cameyo to bring Windows apps to ChromeOS on Wednesday June 05, 2024 @08:25PM (#40592140)
So, it's "AI" powered "cloud" enabled Wine for ChromeOS? Why can't Google just sponsor Wine?
Is this not just a more basic version of reflector?
Re:Tell HN: Gmail enabled 2FA with the YouTube app on Monday June 03, 2024 @10:22PM (#40570084)
I'm genuinely curious how, do you not store your 2FA keys somewhere safe?
