HungSu··on Surveys show Americans want more walkable cities
Which US cities do you consider walkable?
HungSu··on Show HN: Obsidian for Mobile – Plain-text knowledge base on the go
The comparison to the Pensieve is so so so good. I had previously used Tim Ferriss' metaphor for writing: that it was to freeze thoughts into a solid so that you could sculpt it into whatever shape you wanted. But as you've already noticed, there isn't really a final form a thought takes, and a lot of it's value is in bouncing amongst other thoughts.

I know this isn't a very hacker newsy comment, but wanted to highlight how amazing your comparison is :D

Could you share which destination city you chose and/or why?
HungSu··on Workspacer: A tiling window manager for Windows 10
Thank you for this! I hacked my own window manager in Autohotkey in a couple of days and this gives me some new ideas
HungSu··on Ask HN: Best Source for Desktop Backgrounds
I'm going to go in totally the opposite direction of things suggested here.

Personally, my backgrounds are things important to me, I easily forget about, and can't easily action.

For example, one background is of my family, including my grandma who doesn't have any kind of social media or digital communication device at all. I'm in another country, so actions available to contact her are small. Reminders of her are infrequent - chats with my family are usually not about her. But I don't want to forget her, so into my slideshow rotation it goes.

Another background is a theme park in Denmark featuring a 65m free fall tower into a huge safety net. International travel is hard now, and I know no one wants to do this theme park attraction with me. Odds are stacked against me to remember this thing, so into the slideshow.

All the above pictures are low res and crap. But they're important to me. I do love beautiful high res backgrounds, but I've now decided they bring me less joy than the above.

HungSu··on Japanese people may have gained longevity by balancing their diets
Also a tremendous amount of walking. Japanese urban planning is much more pedestrian friendly than say, almost anywhere in the US.
HungSu··on With Proton and Steam Play, many Windows games now work on Linux
Recent convert to Linux gaming here. A small tip to any other potential new linux gamers - if you encounter painful input lag, check that Vsync is turned off! For some odd reason, Vsync on Linux feels much much much worse to me than on Windows.

Ubuntu 18.04 with GTX1070. Used the drivers that came with the OS and I might go play some Hellblade in a moment

For those who enjoy experimenting with window managers, might I suggest PaperWM for your next experiment?

Instead of fitting all your windows within your monitor's boundaries, PaperWM sets all windows to take full height and gives you an infinite horizontal axis to arrange them on. I'm thoroughly enjoying it and vastly prefer it to tiling and floating windows

HungSu··on RIP Google Music
You've just reminded me the USA no longer has net neutrality. Bit sad
HungSu··on Build your own professional-grade audio amp on the sort-of cheap (2018)
At 84€ just for the plans I will give this a miss, but if you happen to have images and other opinions of the ones you made yourself I'd be very curious

HungSu··on Build your own professional-grade audio amp on the sort-of cheap (2018)
Can anyone recommend a DIY speaker in the same vein as this amp? (Aside from the panel speaker linked elsewhere in these comments)
HungSu··on Twitter has applied warning labels to 37% of Trump's tweets since polls closed
As POTUS his tweets are still matters of public record. More likely it will be locked in January.
HungSu··on I am seriously considering going back to desktop computers
Not OP, but I use Parsec to do things remotely on my desktop from my laptop. Latency and frame rate are far, far better than VNC or RDP
