Indeed, what an arduous read.

Wouldn't be that hard in my case

Can't wait for the UK government to start convicting dissidents for precrime

Wanting to incorporate an http server into a C project of mine, the only battle-tested or feature-complete options either allocated dynamic memory UTH without an option to override the allocators, or are too opinionated with the core API, like mandating callbacks for everything. Suprisingly there's no decent (single header) C library that don't have these 2 issues, at least that I could find.

This kind of trite partisan comment does not belong on HN imo.

Naughty Dog uses Racket for all their scripting...

This is the author's gripe, though. You're sacrificing end user experience for developer ergonomics.

Hmm, Osaka has plenty of trash cans... Did you mean Tokyo?

Serious question, what are people using this for?

I enjoyed the Dexter's one which was a point and click adventure where you had to solve puzzles.

I actually love typos these days because it usually lets me know Im talking to a fellow human :)

Having made multiple (dare I say) fairly successful games on the Playdate, I can attest to how fantastic the developer experience has been and how easy it was for my non dev collaborators to get going. Pulp was a great in road for them to get started with game dev, and it's been a blast (despite how limiting Pulpscript is for a professional dev)

It's very low volume, sadly this was unavoidable I think, given the extremely custom nature of the input

hyperbolablabla — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 06:02:41 +0000

GPS (using TOA or absolute time of a arrival) is cool and everything, but I'm a much bigger fan of TDOA, when you trilaterate using time _difference_ of arrival, relative to each station. This involves finding the intersection of 3 hyperbolae... Which is where my user name comes from!

I'm a brit who was born in and lives in Watford. I was mugged at knifepoint on oxford street in 2019, and have personally witnessed multiple phone thefts. Non-fatal knife crime is very high, the statistics don't lie in that regard. I hope you don't have the right to vote, because your denial of reality is doing irreparable harm to my country.

Not to state the obvious but, isn't literacy an entry requirement for a college course?

hyperbolablabla — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 07:15:46 +0000

In my experience I have found the xdg-desktop-portal for whatever reason to be completely non functional on Arch/Hyprland. It must be an issue with my config but on x11 I never had to think about this

New comment by hyperbolablabla in "Moving from Python to Mojo"

hyperbolablabla — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 12:20:43 +0000

I want to love Mojo, but honestly, I think changing the semantics of the language is a massive footgun that will stunt adoption. Being a strict syntatic superset is not enough imo, and I'm not sure it can even make that claim?

hyperbolablabla — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 19:35:10 +0000

At the most basic level, even just not letting Claude run terraform apply would've solved this issue. Review the god damn plan first! This is like engineering 101

I don't understand how a trillion dollar company can't at this point say "you know what, I think we're good on the profit front, let's convert some of that into improving UX"
