Thank you! I don't use Mataroa but I can see the similarities. My current blog setup is a Python script that parses content written in markdown and emits HTML. The CSS is inspired by the other minimal blogs I see here.

Thanks a lot for checking out my blog/project. Have a great day!

It's interesting but I don't think it belongs as a comment under this post. I can use LLMs to create something tangential for each project posted on HN, and so can everyone else. If we all started doing this then the comment section will quickly become useless and not on point.

> OpenAI releases a new model to distract from their board drama

This one shows the "age" of the LLM, or the data cut off time

Amazing! Though I can't get the theme to stop changing while the music is playing. Is there a setting I'm missing?

The difference is restricting removal of the app. It takes away the user's choice. As far as I know all preloaded apps, at least on Android, can be disabled if not uninstalled.

> The November 28 order, seen by Reuters, gives major smartphone companies 90 days to ensure that the government's Sanchar Saathi app is pre-installed on new mobile phones, with a provision that users cannot disable it.

I heard that the ML version was a translation of the C version, and is thus not easy to follow along. Or it may have been the other way around!

I used to be very against closed source products but changed my mind recently. One of the founders of Obsidian makes some great points here: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/open-sourcing-of-obsidian/1515/1...

I created a RescueTime alternative for KDE Plasma. It runs in the background as a daemon and records time spent on each window in a SQLite database. Next step here would be to add a Firefox extension, since a lot of my time is spent browsing the web.

Tracking windows on Wayland is hard because the protocol doesn't support it. I hacked together a script using Claude Code that somehow works, but I barely understand how.

Nice! I have another idea: DerangedOS. An operating system that allows you to scroll social media and view short form video content. It immediately shuts down if you attempt to do anything productive.

> if you read physical books, you can attach an NFC tag to your book

I'm hearing this for the first time. Having a video demonstrating this would be nice.

I currently get a very productivity/measure all things vibe from the marketing site. Given how many readers read for pleasure, I would alter the site to position this as something that helps users become aware of their reading habits, not necessarily something to measure, and optimise their reading habits.

Congrats, looks great!

This is written by an LLM. Can we have less of these on HN?

> What kind of code snippets could you suggest?

Anything really! Some websites that do this currently: https://ziglang.org, https://crystal-lang.org and https://www.ruby-lang.org/en

> I have a comparison table mentioning features

Yes - I did see this in the README. Maybe worth adding it, or something similar to the website.

Very nice! Some feedback about the home page and presentation:

- A snippet on the home page to give the reader a quick feel of the language.

- A line or two on how to pronounce Ü.

- Using a list or sections to highlight important features prominently and make the home page more information dense.

- Date of publication on the blog posts.

I have had the exact same experience. Always worth it to get a second opinion before any dental work.

Posted this because I love how concise the implementations are. Might be a combination of using OCaml plus lexical and parser generators.

Surprised to see no one's mentioned HTTPie yet. I reach out for their web app anytime I have to make a one off network request: https://httpie.io/app

Love the idea. From the FAQ section on the website:

> Organizers can keep a portion of sign-up or event fees

Isn't this a given? Don't event organisers expect to keep the entire sign-up fee for themselves when they host an event? The website banner reads:

> Build an IRL community. Get paid for it.

I was under the impression that onthe.town will pay the organisers from their own pocket for organising the event, but that does not seem to be true.

Very interesting idea. Good luck!

First time hearing about libGDX. Do you have any resources on why it's your favorite framework? It might be useful for your website as well. To sort of "sell" the framework to game developers who have not used it before.

This might be useful: https://docs.racket-lang.org/sicp-manual/index.html

Beautiful. I got my joy back

Sharing a link is also a sign up feature now. Didn't tldraw come up after Excalidraw was already quite popular? Seems like a missed opportunity for the latter since tldraw came up after and was able to figure out a business angle for a similar (same?) software.

I said "somewhat okay" in my original comment to mean developing/developed classification is better than the Global North/South. Not that it's good or should be widely used. I wanted to communicate that even that bad classification is "better" than Global North/South which I'm hearing about today for the first time.

I haven't read the link you posted because I want to expand on my initial reaction.

A layman who is not familiar with the reasons behind Global North/South would not think about imperialist relations. I'm somewhat okay with "developing" because the term is easier to understand: some countries are less developed than others. Plus the terms are fluid. If a country becomes developed enough then they switch labels.

Global North/South makes no sense at all, again from a layman's perspective. From the original story:

> Psychologically, we tend to view things nearer the top as ‘good’ and those lower as ‘bad.’

When I see Australia in the southern hemisphere being characterised as "North", I think that the creator of this term is discriminating against countries they consider inferior. There is no room for growth here. A country being characterised as "South" will always be as such, because intuitively we know we can't switch geographies.

First time seeing this and it feels so offensive. I'm somewhat okay with the term developed and developing countries, though not too much [1]. But this just feels discriminatory.

Love KDE. Can others share their experience of using the same desktop environment across distributions? Is there a difference? I have only used KDE on Fedora and it's great but getting the itch to try out something new. Void Linux maybe.

Validation errors were bit of an issue. Especially because Binaryen constructs an internal IR that remains opaque until we emit the Wasm text. I did consider Wizard for my project but settled on Wasmtime because I needed WASI support.

My major pain point was the documentation. The binaryen.js API reference¹ is a list of function signatures. Maybe this makes sense to someone more experienced but I found it hard to understand initially. There are no explanation of what the parameters mean. For example, the following is the only information the reference provides for compiling an `if` statement:

  Module#if(condition: Expression, ifTrue: Expression, ifFalse?: Expression): Expression

In contrast, the Wasm instruction reference on MDN² is amazing. WASI again suffers from the same documentation issues. I didn't find any official resource on how to use `fd_write` for example. Thankfully I found this blog post³.

Wasm feels more inaccessible that other projects. The everyday programmer shouldn't be expected to understand PL research topics when they are trying to do something with it. I understand that's not the intention but this is what it feels like.

Isn't wasm-tools for working with Wasm modules? Maybe I'm missing something. I was using Binaryen to compile an AST to WebAssembly text. Also worth mentioning that Binaryen is the official compiler/toolchain for this purpose which is why I expected more from it.
