These two things can be true at the same time.

Hey HN folks! My music visualizer side-project just got a huge update, which extends it with a VJ toolkit. I heard some people here were already familiar with Ferromagnetic and your kind words are super motivating! Hope you like this update too, and looking forward to hear your feedback.

Also on macOS (and iPadOS) it's super easy to get started with Metal shaders in Playgrounds.

New comment by endanke in "Don’t look down on print debugging"

endanke — Sat, 23 Nov 2024 13:40:58 +0000

Even printing can have some side effects on the code, by introducing some extra latency that might implicitly fix a race condition, if that’s the bug in question. Not saying that it’s wrong, just funny to think about that race conditions are hard to debug with any kind of tool, either with debugger or printing.

Show HN: Open-sourced my minimalistic home dashboard

endanke — Thu, 20 Jul 2023 20:54:28 +0000

Hi HN!

I've just published my small home dashboard project on Github. Hope you like it too and perhaps find it useful as a reference for similar ideas.

Overall I'm very happy with the LilyGo e-ink device and I'll probably add a bunch of other features in the future.

endanke — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 11:51:13 +0000

I don't know why but I just can't keep myself from laughing at the name of McPlant. (I do think plant based meat is a great thing though, it's just a hilarious name.)

New comment by endanke in "Withings ScanWatch Horizon"

endanke — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 06:41:49 +0000

Looks great and I love my basic ScanWatch. But I find it frustrating that there's so many unexplored opportunities on the software side that Withings seems to ignore. I'd love an SDK for their watches, or just a very basic API to display some custom data on the watch from my phone. (One use-case would be to create a weather widget there.)

New comment by endanke in "Mayor suggests Helsinki declare itself an English-language city"

endanke — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 20:23:47 +0000

I've been living in Helsinki for 3 years and while I like the idea of supporting foreigners, I also find this a bit disappointing. I only know a handful of expacts who even attempted to learn Finnish, but I know a bunch of people who live here for 10-15 years and still not integrated because they only communicate in English. The simplest alternative would be to replace Swedish with English as the secondary official language, but support people more who wants to learn Finnish, especially because the local language courses were always full when I checked.

Happy to hear you like it! This year I'm also planning some updates for the rest of my apps. So far I don't have any technical issues with the input sources, just need to find some time to work on them. (These applications are developed as weekend projects, so it generally takes a while to add new features.)

New comment by endanke in "Cyberpunk 2077 saves will become corrupted if they reach 8mb in size"

endanke — Sun, 20 Dec 2020 05:50:10 +0000

It's not only modern games, I remember a similar issue with the first Deus Ex game which is ironically also a cyberpunk game and it was released 20 years ago. I guess they saved the whole state of the map and items which made the save files several megabytes large. My hard drive was only around 100 GB back then, so it was a real concern to accidentally fill it when I saved too often.

Fun fact: it only exists in Hungarian and it's even called as "hungarumlaut" in typography. (It's kind of pronounced as longer ö.) Usually it's missing from custom fonts unfortunately, which can make some Hungarian websites ugly.

It does, just need to remember that they require a specific way of talking. I'm always by default talking more loudly and articulately with simple expressions, then it gets it for the first try. (At least Google Assistant, Siri has way way more issues understanding me.)

I use them almost on a daily basis to control the lights in my apartment, it's surprisingly convenient and helps with multitasking when I'm in a hurry. The same thing goes for weather and reminders. The best use case when you're in the middle of something, eg. cooking and just want to make a simple note or set a timer.
