I think it works great if you're good with VSCode and developing in Github Codespaces or something similar.

Using an iPad Pro with the keyboard works great, plus you can use a bluetooth mouse and even have a second monitor.

Even with all that, I still use my laptop a lot more.

Still can't build native platforms for the device you are using and others within that ecosystem properly. Also not everyone wants to use VSCode.

Weird. Usually dictionaries wait many years for words to be established before including them (it's a physical dictionary after all). Adding delulu reeks of capitalising on the zeitgeist for PR

I want to like Hyprland so bad, I'm using it right now. It has its problems, but it is fun to watch the animations and eye candy. I am concerned about the future of the project, seems like it has some scope creep and there is like a subscription model, or something? I don't know how well I understand that, doesn't sound like a good thing though. The website is an eyesore. People pretend it's totally bug-free, but it's just not. Even DistroTube has tried it.

The guy that writes it/maintains it is a piece of shit though. The last thing the Linux community needs is more bigotry and anime crap.

I believe the subscription model is solely for supporting the developers and in return you get some top tier grade dot files configurations to build your setup from.

qn9n commented on Getting good results from Claude Code dzombak.com/blog/2025/08/... · Posted by u/ingve

I'm playing with Claude Code to build an ASCII factorio-like. I first had it write code without much code supervision. It quickly added most of the core features you'd expect (save/load, options, debug, building, map generation, building, belts, crafting, smart belt placing, QoL). Then I started fixing minor bugs and each time it would break something eg. tweaking movement broke belts. So I prompted it to add Playwright automation. Then it wasn't able to write good quality tests and have them all pass, the test were full of sleep calls, etc...

So I looked at the code more closely and it was using the React frontend and useEffect instead of a proper game engine. It's also not great at following hook rules and understanding their timing in advance scenarios. So now I'm prompting it to use a proper tick based game engine and rebuilding the game up, doing code reviews. It's going 'slower' now, but it's going much better now.

My goal is to make a Show HN post when I have a good demo.

I'd probably play that, any information on the game yet?

This is the right time for the Europeans to wake up!

qn9n · 13 days ago

Imagine if the European Union adds a mandate to say something along the lines of a web app can't use x amount of resources as it's just too much and encourages spending more on RAM unnecessarily instead of learning to make more efficient software.

The 'no more tools to learn' promise is powerful, but here's my hang-up: isn't this... just another tool? A layer between my notes and the web, with its own app and pricing. Feels like we're just trading one set of complexities for another. Is this true simplicity, or just a different kind of abstraction? Maybe I'm just being cynical lol.

I think by tools they mean more complex tools such as static site generators. Rather than an application where you select a Notes Folder and it does the rest.

Would love an iOS (or even Windows, if possible) version.

You could utilise the Convert Rich Text to Markdown feature from in Apple Shortcuts

I think that it is kinda cool to convert your notes to a website, especially if you want to easily share them. I just created a Shortcut that sends my modified notes to an email address, and then I use Eleventy to build a website. Here is the result: https://albertoprado70.github.io/Mini/this-blog-uses-ios-not...

Whenever I export notes from Apple Notes it replaces the Markdown title marker `# Title goes here` with `*Title goes here *****` or something similar. Any notes on this?

I just use https://mise.jdx.dev/ for everything command-line nowadays, and keep brew for casks only.

qn9n · a month ago

I've been using this for a while now, much better versioning system. Great tooling support with multiple backends, fast and information rich CLI. Highly recommended over brew.
