I'm currently optimizing my firefox tab manager (Grasshopper) to handle a user that has over 20k tabs.

Not a single line of the 66k lines were vibe coded except some specific focused fixes.

And don't tell me what to do nerd.

This is going to be an issue I see. I'm removing the Booster thing so that permission is not required at all now.

It's optional, you need to do something to enable the feature that uses it. I use it for a thing I called Booster which enables this permission so I can add some fixers for some sites like youtube, personal stuff, absolutely not required.

Show HN: Clipton, Clipboard Manager

madprops — Sun, 06 Mar 2022 08:28:44 +0000

Clipboard managers are an essential tool for me.

On windows I used Ditto.

On linux I used CopyQ.

But after a while I started encountering issues.

So I made my own manager based on rofi.

If you have linux and rofi this might work nicely for you.

It consists of a small c program and a python script.

What I find funny about this game is how exact the odds are

90% of the time you'll end up with 1 turn out of luck pretty much

I also made a flood implementation

Except it's not locked to one try per day

And clicking the items in the box triggers the action as well

Peertube would work nicely for high traffic videos, since the data transfer can be shared among viewers https://joinpeertube.org/

New comment by madprops in "Show HN: Minesweeper"

madprops — Tue, 23 Feb 2021 14:27:37 +0000

Thank you. I made some improvements including your suggestions. For the field-on-first click procedure I just reserved some space around the clicked item when placing the mines and that seems to work, though the size of the fields can be different. I'm thinking of maybe implementing some grid generation algorithm where guessing is not not necessary. The minesweeper here is supposed to do just that: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/ "The first square you open is guaranteed to be safe, and (by default) you are guaranteed to be able to solve the whole grid by deduction rather than guesswork. (Deductions may require you to think about the total number of mines.)"

I tried with a timeglass-like shape. It flew around the map, going in and out of view and eventually setting on/in the water https://i.imgur.com/kcT9elV.jpg

Somebody should make a GUI application that the ONLY thing it does is undoing a push to a repo, or several pushes. That's a common scenario.
