As an aside, I really like the Zed website. Easy to read and pleasant to look at.

Nice stuff, had a quick test on linux and it works (built directly, I didn't check out the brew). I ran into a small issue with moonshine and opened an issue on github.

Great work on this! excited to keep an eye on things.

Also had a quick play too. The TUI is garbled thanks to some stderr messages which can just be dev/null'd. I don't seem to be able to interact with the transcripts with the arrow or jk keys.

Overall though, it's fast and really impressive. Can't wait for it to progress.

These look like decimal numbers because they use a period-delimiter, but they are not, in the same way that €50.000 is not €50...

That's not true at all.

I put an early GenAI side project up, someone convinced me to monetize, and boom - $700k ARR in almost no time.

I'm not sure it's possible now with so little effort given how full the space is, but if you're in the right time and place with the right solution, there are tons of people that will pay you.

Same story as always: create value, solve a problem, make something people want.

Willing to name the service?

I feel like I'm being mocked for having a widescreen monitor.

What if we charged a small toll for comments. We create a web standard where you can precharge an amount to your browser account, then you get charged $0.02 for making a comment. The price could be progressively raised until the spammers stop. The profit could pay for website hosting. This would be affordable for users but prohibitively expensive for spammers.

I seem to remember MS having this idea for email many years ago.
philjackson commented on Show HN: Lnk – Git-native dotfiles manager   github.com/yarlson/lnk... · Posted by u/yar-kravtsov

My main gripe with dotfile managers (including lnk) is that they assume a uniform environment. I haven't found one that doesn't make this fundamendal assumption.

Some scenarios where dot fils may differ between computers:

- My .gitconfig is different on my work laptop than my desktop.

- I don't have neovim installed on my pi zero running DNS for my home network.

- My zsh functions for making animated gifs won't work if specific tools are not installed.

- An alias to open an image with the default image viewer is different between macos and linux.

- I only have rust toolchain installed on my home desktop, so I shouldn't see it in my PATH on my work laptop.

Is there any solution out there that can handle similar cases? Or are these requirements unique to me? (I don't quite believe they are.)

Check out YADM which allows you to link files based on criteria such as hostname.

Blender is an amazing piece of software.

A few years ago I asked myself "Why spend hundreds of hours sucking at video games when I could spend the same time sucking at Blender?"

Since then I have spent many an enjoyable evening making terrible 3d models, some of which actually made it into a game. Apart from my lack of skill, there is no reason why somebody like me can't do world-class renders in a piece of software they downloaded for free. It isn't even that hard to use any more.

philjackson · 8 months ago
I agree - one of those bits of software you can't believe is free. I've also done some pretty terrible modelling, even my doughnuts suck.
