New comment by sentientmachin3 in "Is My Blue Your Blue?"

I'm green red colorblind my result is "Your boundary is at hue 197, bluer than 99% of the population. For you, turquoise is green". I suppose that's because my cones don't detect green fully (without getting into the anatomic details of colorblindness). You should consider colorblind people aswell, this will make the results more interesting.

Looks pretty sick, expecially for lazy ass guitarists (like me) that do not want to build the scales using the intervals.

Problem is most of the people don't care because they "have nothing to hide". Moreover, do they really think this is going to solve the issue of child pornography?

New comment by sentientmachin3 in "How I use Git worktrees"

sentientmachin3 — Wed, 06 Mar 2024 10:29:53 +0000

I've been using worktrees for almost a year now, can't see a reason to go back. No more stash-checkout-pop is definitely a win. My setup is almost identical to this one

I would say it was already going on before the advent of tik tok, but I can't find a specific moment.

I don't know if you are right or not, but this is surely one of those. 0 content, 0 discussion stimulus.

We use it without many issues, but you need to implement native modules if you have to use device peripherals for some scenarios, e.g. IoT pairing via wifi or some bluetooth stuff.

Sure sometimes it can be frustrating, but to me is ok if your company is small and can't hire too many people in order to maintain two fully native projects.

The Lex Friedman podcast with J. Carmack goes over all the major innovations in every game, really interesting episode, strongly advised if you have time (roughly 5 hours long)

New comment by sentientmachin3 in "Ask HN: What would happen if China, Russia, Africa and Asia formed an alliance?"

sentientmachin3 — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 10:58:21 +0000

EU and NA would probably starve to death or kill themselves in the process.

I confirm, at least where I am (EU)

New comment by sentientmachin3 in "See what the internet looked like ten years ago today"

sentientmachin3 — Thu, 20 Jul 2023 16:00:12 +0000

The internet was much cooler back then. Simple websites, few ads, no cookie banners.

Not related to metals: how cool is this website? Back in the day when the internet had no bs and it was just pure HTML

I would like a more strict version of this article, "Stop trying to make social networks".
