I am building a luxury villa park from scratch in Kuta Lombok Indonesia:)

I wanted to try my hand at something else than software.

From the samsung S10 forward, this is a feature while recording video in zoom mode. I was always really curious how they did it.

Ask HN: What's Your Hostname?

chooma — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 02:22:49 +0000

Today I got annoyed by the bland hostname in my prompt, 'Choomas MacBookPro-M2', I decided to rename it to something cute: cowfish :)

What is your hostname when you open a terminal?

I am really struggling to get hotwire running to be honest. I now just postponed implementing it till after the launch. Any good ways of getting up to speed on hotwire and debugging it?

I wouldn't word it that strongly, however I would've like to see the first line of the documention on the homepage :)

I'll give it a spin later, looks interesting.

New comment by chooma in "Ask HN: What web development stack do you prefer in 2024?"

chooma — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 03:15:56 +0000

After test drive countless of frameworks...I've settled for a very boring stack

Ruby on rails is the only framework I use for SaaS applications.

Plain ES6 for a lot of things that are not as big as a SaaS. React when I need frontend stuff.

Python lives mostly in notebooks for all my thinkering.

chooma — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 05:47:23 +0000

Staying curious is so important for a realistic worldview.

While it was obvious to everybody Elon, would kill twitter with his actions. Elon's world view is that the advertisers will kill the company.

I've seen this behaviour over and over with leaders. They tend to turn the facts upside down and present it asif it's true without any doubt.

fyi. Paris syndrome is heavily disputed among scientist, because the causality was never proven and the original author has 'vanished' from the scene.

i.e. do mental people visit Paris or does Paris cause mental illness?

That's indeed what they tried to say, but they translated it very Dunglish.

Indeed, the Voys app is a white-label version of Vialer. See: https://github.com/open-voip-alliance/vialer/blob/9e81baffc3...
