This reminds me of a quote, "hunger is the best condiment".

Yep, started with PR changes not being visible, but now can't load entire repos. I see the pink unicorn.

I like this idea.

As bdsa said, 99 percent are from that Wikipedia page as is, but there's a few dozen I've added in that I've stumbled across and favourited over the years.

Could you share more information on this custom python procedural engine?

I intend to! I didn't post this here but all these comments have inspired me to flesh this out a bit more.

Thanks for pointing it out. Need to visit again and explore more. I'll fix it in a bit.

Not the poster, but it's my blog, funny seeing it posted here. This was actually from June this year, which is supposed to be the sunniest month. I got to see just five islands, so there's still plenty more to explore. The cliffs and the rough sea are a mesmerising sight, I remember sitting for an hour just watching the waves crash along the base.

Thank you, kind of you to say. Enough people have said nice things that I've convinced myself that more might be interested in my travel shenanigans.

Thank you, I've been trying to post more.

Thank you, I don't think I'm doing anything particularly special with my process. I like blacks, and keep photos slightly underexposed, something that most phone cameras will avoid like the plague, brightening everything up. Cropping and composition is also more important than it seems IMO.

You just described wonderfully why I'm drawn to remote places. It started with a trip to the interior of Iceland, then Tromsø, and more recently Svalbard and the Faroes.

I tried to capture the beautiful sense of isolation in Svalbard here, maybe it inspires others to make a trip to somewhere remote. https://photoblog.nk412.com/Svalbard2024/n-ssC8fP/Svalminiph...

Ask HN: Stack for beautiful CLI tools like Claude code

grilledchickenw — Sat, 23 Aug 2025 03:39:08 +0000

LLM and AI aside, I think Claude code is a beautiful and very well designed CLI tool. If I were limited to Go and or python, what are the libraries that would let one build such tools and interactivity?

Status page is, as expected, all green, but anyone noticing anything unusual? Services on cloud run timing out for me.

OP, what is that grid of geo-located countries called? It's beautiful, and I want to play with such a map. Is there a name for this?
