Pretty cool, I would suggest removing the z axis grids. Finding them very distracting

I still fondly remember fsgforums, where I was banned for impersonating the typical forum noob.

I observe the same thing but it doesn't cause me difficulty. I think I more or less aim for the edge, vs the inside or outside.

Its not a great update and hopefully with Dye out they will make some changes, but personally I don't have this issue.

Highly recommend checking out Andreas' other work on https://ertdfgcvb.xyz/. Probably one of my favorite websites of all time, his body of work is what complete commitment to an idea looks like. Couple cool hardware projects in there too.

It's amazing to be able to try a bunch of ideas with very minimal cost. That being said, AI code assistants don't have eyeballs and they often make things that don't look very good. Craft, polish and judgement still matter.

Show HN: An SVG Inspection Tool

Hello, I'm Gavin. I built this in my spare time to help debug/inspect/optimize SVGs in my design and frontend workflow. It has a few rough edges, but ready enough to share. Let me know what you think!

Very cool. May i suggest making the keys pizza-slice-shaped so they are slightly easier to press?

One of my favorites as well. A folk space exploration sim. I did find a few of the puzzles a bit too difficult though.

I am making the point that this asset class is not very big.

The entire crypto market cap is about $2.8T, which makes it about 75% as big as Apple. Would the same argument make sense if the author were to say Apple employees alone "push up prices for houses, resort hotels, and all sorts of other things they do with their money". Kind of a stretch if you ask me.

in the sense that if I have to change the shape of a complex static object or do anything tedious, it can just do it. What exactly would you say I have to learn from tasks like that?
