Wondering as well. Neither the website, nor the youtube video [0] make it clear. It does have 4 exhaust pipes, however.

Re:GridSnap – an open-source Divvy-style window snapper for macOS on Thursday October 15, 2026 @11:31AM (#50105145)
Had been a fan of Rectangle until I re-discovered for myself a regular mouse (the one with a scroll-wheel and real buttons) on mac. Now I'm using "Easy Move+Resize", which replicates the linux experience of cmd+left-click-drag and cmd+middle-click-drag for moving and resizing windows.

Re:OpenAI reaches agreement to buy Windsurf for around $3B on Tuesday May 06, 2025 @08:44AM (#43904459)
Windsurf has plugins for Jetbrains products, for vim, for emacs, for Visual Studio (not code), XCode, and even eclipse. They try to get as much of the market as possible, while Cursor focuses on the core functionality.

Whenever I tried Windsurf Editor, or their plugin for vim, and Intellij, it didn't feel polished at all. The basic function of autocomplete felt much much snappier on Cursor, and even on GitHub Copilot for vim/intellij.

Re:The first Spanish AI model earning up to €10k per month on Thursday November 23, 2023 @05:49PM (#38398564)
I think this is exactly what’s going to happen with “super smart unsafe AI”. If it’ll be abused and overused like this, people will just stop tuning in to those media sources where AI can easily dominate.

AI dominates instagram space? Why bother scrolling through it? It’s not interesting anymore. AI dominates online media? Why bother getting your information online?

Really cool! Why did you decide to start working on it? Because you wanted something simpler than what already exists, or just curiosity?

Show HN: Tool to manage on-demand cloud development environments

from the show-hn dept.

https://github.com/sausage-todd/dow

Hey HN,I started building this tool for myself for several reasons: 1. My 2020 M1 MBP with 16Gb of RAM started to become frustratingly slow when I had to run the local development stack 2. Sometimes I needed to switch between my Linux desktop and MBP, and continue the work from where I left it 3. At some point I was traveling and tried to work from a train, where the mobile internet was very...

Re:Ask HN: Dev productivity tools you would pay for on Saturday June 10, 2023 @03:01AM (#36268353)
Obsidian works well on all systems. It has folders, markdown notes, and cloud sync. Switched to it from Bear because of Linux and quite happy.
Re:What If Time Really Exists? (2008) on Saturday January 07, 2017 @05:34AM (#13343375)
Can you elaborate why the string theory could be considered dogma? I guess it's somehow related to the way it ways discovered/proposed, but I don't know much about it.
Re:Show HN: Windows 98 in browser on Tuesday February 23, 2016 @01:44PM (#11161204)
Where does one start with such thing? I mean, where do I read how to emulate CPU (or at least how CPU works, so I would be able to come up with how to emulate it by myself), how does PS/2 work, how to boot an image from BIOS?

Ask HN: Is it better to learn code by yourself or ask for help?

from the ask-hn dept.

Suppose you've been working on a huge messy codebase for a few months. You don't know yet everything about how that code works.You get a task to add/modify some functionality estimated for an hour. At first, you have no idea how to do it.What would you do:* Go through all of the code related to that functionality, learn by yourself what it does and how it works. In this case you spend a day...

Ask HN: Is it possible for a freelancer to work on challenging things? 

Posted by zero-g on Friday July 03, 2015 @06:49AM
from the self-post dept.

In the beginning of my career I tried to freelance a little bit and I realized that there was only simple things to work on. Like develop some site, or fix some bugs on existing site, or something routine and boring stuff, which full-time developers from that company wouldn't be happy to do.I was thinking recently that it would be great to work as a freelancer from anywhere on different things...

Re:Ask HN: How do you log application events? on Tuesday April 28, 2015 @06:38AM (#9451321)
Second that. I tried to use ELK stack for application logs but it felt too windows-ish. I had to use my mouse and a lot of mouse-clicking to find what I needed. I was happy at my previous job when we had a single log-server which we ssh-ed to and got access to logs from all machines via NFS. It wasn't the fastest way to examine logs but it was very comfortable using all these grep, awk, sed, cut and etc tools.
Re:My first experience at working from home on Thursday March 19, 2015 @10:25AM (#9232097)
How do you guys communicate while working remotely?

At my current job we have daily two daily meetings (in the morning and in the evening) where everyone tells what he's done or we discuss something with a whole team. These meetings lock us to particular schedule and make traveling hard. I'd like to suggest my boss to get rid of these daily meetings but I don't know with what to replace them.

I have started using it few months ago and I like it. Mostly because I can read hacker news as pragmatically as I have been reading google reader. I don't need to visit home of HN several times a day to find out if there is any new posts. I just open hckrnews.com and I see what have been posted since my last visit.
