And you can contact hn@ycombinator.com if you're serious. But I'm not sure they do actually accept contributions. And anyway a dark mode is something that has been talked about for years and there doesn't seem to be much interest in adding it to the site. You may try other -external- options to add a dark mode through a browser extension.

It's a site with live camera feeds from around the world to see the sunset.

But... now let's think for a moment about what you're doing there. Not the technical bits, but what the user sees.

You have decided that the average male lives to 71-72 and female to around 74. You have then decided that this average should be taken as a hard, fixed limit. And that people will die at that age no matter what.

These two assumptions are somewhat tricky. I mean, the first one is fairly random without a context. For, say, India, this is about right, but for other countries of the world -or as an average for the whole world- it can be quite different. And you don't mention any particular country.

But anyway, it's the second assumption that is more problematic. Because the number is just an average and using it as a hard limit is clearly wrong. First of all because death is not linear. Take a look at this sample table for the US [0]. Life expectancy increases with age. That means that initial life expectancy can be 80 years, but if you make it to 60, your total life expectancy goes up to 84. And if you make it to those 80 your life expectancy still gives you -on average- another 9.5 years to live.

Why is this relevant? Well, because such a calculator would assume the user, the person that goes there to see how much time they have left with their parents... well, still has their parents alive. It would be stupid otherwise if they know their parents are already dead. So this is 2026. The user states that their dad was born in, say, 1956. That's 70 years. Is the 71.5 average life expectancy right? Not at all. Even as an average, even as a hard limit, it is wrong. For a person at 70, that life expectancy would be something like 80+ and the remaining time should be calculated according to that. Sure, this means you need to write code that is a bit more complicated than what you've done here. Because you don't just have one average life expectancy, you need a whole table or function to calculate it. But, hey, this is learning! It's a coding exercise. So it is an opportunity to learn more and go beyond the simple tutorial into an exercise that is just a little bit more advanced.

But then again, let's ignore even this. Let's go back and keep the simple exercise. Let's assume just one fixed life expectancy. Then, as I mentioned above, we have a problem that's worse, more... stupid. Because as I said such a calculator has to assume the parents are still alive. Otherwise is simply makes no sense. And yet, you're giving the user the option to choose birth years as far back as 1940, while directly assuming that anyone born before 1952 for men or 1955 for women is already dead.

When you offer that option, you're saying it is a valid option. But when the user chooses it, you're saying they are stupid for doing so.

What you're doing is like this conversation:

  - Hi, I visit my dad every Friday afternoon.
  - That's nice. But from this other perspective that may not be a lot of time. How old is he?
  - Oh, my dad is 78.
  - Bad news: your dad's already dead.
  - What? No, he's fine, I saw him just yesterday.
  - Your dad's been dead for years.
  - You're an asshole.

So... again, congratulations on your coding exercise. You did it. The coding is solved [perhaps]. Well done.

But take this as an additional learning point: The problems you solve will sometimes involve writing code, but they will always require you to think about the details and nuances of the problem itself. It's all about the decisions and assumptions you make.

Discussing this seems useless.

I think there's a fair amount of submissions and discussions: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=Qubes

Others can only be spotted from a distance. Wagtails are quite timid but can be seen running around sometimes, and the blackbirds can be heard a lot even if you don't see them. I've also spotted a couple of woodpeckers. And once the park fell suddenly still and I looked up and there was a kite passing by (they have been spotted nesting in a much larger park a couple of miles away).

If the park is busy, then I'll watch the dogs, people going by. I ponder about the futility of life. Just sit there silently, doing nothing.

On the other hand, I don't see any asking for reviews or feedback. What I see is self-promotion, similarly to your previous post from a couple of months ago, which is against the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

You'd probably need to detail what exactly you have done to clean up, but it sounds like you didn't actually remove the commit?

You can remove a commit with an interactive rebase and then force push the new tree. Or depending on the current state of your tree, you can use other options. In any case, you have answers to this on Stack overflow. e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40245767/delete-commit-o...

But in any case, it's not very interesting. I mean, there's not much of an insight about board games. Even after saying that they "give you a false sense of socialising" (emphasis mine), the author immediately notes that "This is not representative of board gamers - many board gamers makes lots of close friends through board games - but for me, I was not building new friendships through board gaming."

Note that you need a browser with FileSystem Access API support. It would be nice to mention that in the readme.

But "Show HN" has seen its use restricted for new accounts because of the large influx of spam on the site lately. So you probably can't do much.
