Is this the "vibe coding" I keep hearing about?

  Slow down, you crazy child
  You're so ambitious for a juvenile
  But then if you're so smart
  Tell me why are you still so afraid? Mm
  Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
  You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
  You've got so much to do
  And only so many hours in a day, hey

  But you know that when the truth is told
  That you can get what you want or you can just get old
  You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
  When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

  Slow down, you're doing fine
  You can't be everything you wanna be before your time
  Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight, tonight
  Too bad, but it's the life you lead
  You're so ahead of yourself, that you forgot what you need
  Though you can see when you're wrong
  You know you can't always see when you're right
  You're right

  You've got your passion, you've got your pride
  But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
  Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true, ooh
  When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

  Slow down, you crazy child
  And take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
  It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two, ooh
  When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

  And you know that when the truth is told
  That you can get what you want or you could just get old
  You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
  Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you?
  When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

I really enjoy this! I wish it would also support cities, it would help me get a better sense of the size of a city to compare it to one I'm familiar with already. But I guess city limits are less well defined that country limits. Anyway, great project!

same here, I was looking for a tool that does exactly that a few weeks ago. Ended up just comparing 2 google maps with same zoom level, but it's not practical at all. Open to any suggestion you may have!
edelans commented on How I Use Home Assistant in 2025   vpetersson.com/2025/01/22... · Posted by u/ingve

Even better, get smart switches that don't use wifi or IP addresses. I'm personally of opinion my homes core features should not rely on needing IP addresses, working DHCP or DNS etc just to turn a light bulb on and off.

Home assistant works amazingly well with zigbee devices, and these are plentiful and cheap etc, and don't rely on working wifi/IP infrastructure. When I sell up, my zigbee switches will work just fine as plain-ole light switches even with all my Home Assistant infra ripped out, leaving no issues for next buyer.

You can add zigbee support to pretty much any Home Assistant setup with a 20 buck USB adapter, Home Assistant even make an official one:

https://www.home-assistant.io/connectzbt1/

The also sell Home Assistant servers with zigbee radios built in:

The light switches are often cheaper than wifi equivalents too. Wifi bulbs should really only be considered by renters IMO - people who can't easily replace wall switches or similar.

What zigbee switch do you recommend ? I was considering Sonoff zbmini.

cschiller · 10 months ago
Thank you! Sonnet 3.5 is indeed a powerful model, and we're actually using it. However, even with the latest version, there are still some limitations affecting our specific use case. For instance, the model struggles to accurately recognize semi-overlaid areas, such as popups that block interactions, and it has trouble consistently detecting when UI elements are in a disabled state.

To address these issues, we enhance the models with our own custom logic and specialized models, which helps us achieve more reliable results.

Looking forward, we expect our QA Studio to become even more powerful as we integrate tools like test management, reporting, and infrastructure, especially as models improve. We're excited about the possibilities ahead!

Hi cschiller, I think we can help you with those issues at Waldo. I guess you are using Appium under the hood to get the UI hierarchy. At Waldo we developed a competing (proprietary) engine that solves a lot of Appium problems.

We provide the most accurate view hierarchy for mobile apps (including React Native and Flutter apps), and we do it under 500ms for each view.

I would love to get in touch: at e.de-lansalut [at] tricentis.com

Here is an example of what we are able to do: https://share.waldo.com/7a45b5bd364edbf17c578070ce8bde220240...

To be fair, this is NOT the case with native mobile apps. There are some projects like detox that are trying to make e2e tests easier, but the tests themselves can be painful, run fairly slow on emulators, etc.

Maybe someday the tooling for mobile will be as good as headless chrome is for web :)

Agreed though that the followup debugging of a failed test could be hard to automate in some cases.

edelans · 10 months ago
I think we can claim that at Waldo.

Check for yourself: I've just recorded this [1] scripted test on the wikipedia mobile app, and it yields this [2] Replay. In less than a minute we spin up a fresh virtual device, install your app on it, execute the 8 steps of the script.

As a result, you get the Replay of the session : video synchronized with interaction timeline, device & network logs, so you can debug in full context.

woodworking :)

I just finished (yesterday) a custom shelf for my daughter -> https://imgur.com/a/7zGHOOG

It took me 6w VS the 2w initially planned, but the result is worth it!

With so many hours spent on my screen doing virtual stuff, touching the materials and seeing my progress materialized is very satisfying.

edelans commented on Show HN: A keyboard-centric clipboard history app for macOS   clipbook.app/... · Posted by u/Ikryanov
jerieljan · a year ago
> I tried many third-party clipboard managers like Alfred [...] While great, they didn't fully meet my needs.

> As a developer, my requirements are:

> 1. Keyboard-centric operation to avoid using the mouse. I don’t want to waste my time moving my hands from the keyboard.

> 2. Display many clipboard history items at once. I don’t like the idea with big tiles, so I can see only 5-7 history items on my 32” monitor.

> 3. Full content preview for each clipboard item.

> 4. Quick search functionality.

But... Alfred literally does all of these? It's part of the paid features though and thankfully yours is free. But still, the functionality is mostly there and I'm actually curious about comparing what you've built versus theirs. https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/clipboard/

edelans · a year ago
I was wondering the same. I'm very happy with Alfred and I use the clipboard history a lot. There is just no way back to having only 1 item kept in memory!

I learned to lace my shoes correctly at 40+ thanks to a post on HN. I will search for the post tonight.
edelans · a year ago
hahaha me too ! IIRC it was from some kind of "Show HN: What can I learn in 5min" And for the knot, it was maybe https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ianknot.htm but not sure.
