New comment by nicoloren in "Tell HN: I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has re-ignited a passion"

nicoloren — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 08:43:52 +0000

Same here! I'm working on a simple game and I use Claude Code to make it with Phaser, and I am not a game dev. I used Claude to plan it (with a chat for 3 hours), it made a document to describe everything I wanted in the game (the spec). Next I use Claude Code to implement every aspect of the game step by step. I didn't know the framework Phaser, but after each step I review the code and learn a lot. I don't think I would have it working so fast without Claude Code. I can focus on the spec and learn the framework. I code maybe 5% of it, everything is made by Claude Code.

New comment by nicoloren in "Ask HN: Cheap laptop for Linux without GUI (for writing)"

nicoloren — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 08:30:51 +0000

I am using CudaText [0] with the Distraction Free mode [1] to have a full screen editor "always on" the weekend when I write (on Windows 11, but it should work on Linux).

There is also a full screen mode plugin on GVim [2] but I haven't tested it.

Well it worked for me 2 years, until it didn't...

Great to see Pascal news. This programming language needs more love. Also check Lazarus IDE if you haven't.

Same thing happened to me last year: some files on OneDrive where deleted. It was random txt files that I use to log ma progress on projects. I moved everything out of OneDrive and I backup on hard drives. That is a shame because OneDrive was a very good product.

New comment by nicoloren in "Python audio processing with pedalboard"

nicoloren — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 10:13:46 +0000

The name "pedalboard" might not be the most fitting if latency is too high. That said, it could still be very useful in a studio setting for post-production work.

What would be really exciting is a hardware device with all the standard plug-and-play inputs, capable of running Python... essentially a true open-source pedalboard for guitar enthusiasts.

nicoloren — Fri, 16 May 2025 12:01:09 +0000

I really like Lua and I work with it almost daily. But, I hate luarocks. It just don't work well on Windows. And I don't know why. The management of external libraries makes Lua still too difficult to use, which is a real shame considering the qualities of this programming language.

Me too! I have a software in production for a client made with Lazarus 3 (in Pascal of course) and everybody loves the "Windows feel" of the Gui. On Linux there is Gambas [1] wich is like Lazarus but for Basic.

Some years ago I used Privoxy on my computer to filter unecessary request. It worked great and is an alternative to consider if you don't want a computer plugin 24/24 on your network.
