What do you mean by better lambda syntax? Is there something that you feel isn't adequate in the current syntax?

Ivoah··on ProseMirror 1.0
The color of the links on that blog is not very colorblind friendly. I couldn't tell what was a link and what wasn't without zooming in to make the text larger.

It would still have to regenerate the image every time you type something.
Ivoah··on Show HN: Generate minimaps of your code
There really isn't much use for a tool like this. I mostly made it just to have fun with python and mess around with pygments. One possible use case could be for generating images for a website perhaps? It might be neat to have a minimap of the code of a website as its background.

Ivoah··on Show HN: Dply – Free temporary Linux servers
Yeah, I didn't notice that you could change the OS when rebuilding a server. It should also let you edit the cloud-init script thing.
Ivoah··on Show HN: Dply – Free temporary Linux servers
Is it possible to destroy a server before it's time is up? What if I made a server, but now want to try out a different one without waiting 2 hours.
