amne··on Show HN: Repaint – a WebGL based website builder
So anyone discovering repaint organically has no chance to find it? Essentially gatekeeping it to HN insiders? interesting approach
amne··on State of S3 – Your Laptop is no Laptop anymore – a personal Rant
LTT had a rant about this [modern sleep] and I really hoped it would draw some attention given his size and reach. It is truly mind-blowing that not even Apple got it right.

what playground? the linked website has only a "Get started" button which leads to a signup form.

Well said except, biologically, giving birth is the highest calling and only women can give natural birth. Yet!

amne··on Show HN: Repaint – a WebGL based website builder
I just wish it would let me get the feel without any data collection first and as soon as I look like I'm interested .. I want to share, save, do something more advanced .. only then go fish.
amne··on The Yubikey Is the Digital Seatbelt We Need
I can unlock and drive my car with my phone and the house has smart locks. What is this keychain you keep mentioning? I know the app but I don't think that's what you mean.
amne··on Ask HN: Developer PC setup automations for company owned devices
I usually live in WSL2 on Windows running on company provided laptop. Each time the laptop has to be replaced (failure or age) I struggled to get my "home" back up so a couple of years ago I took a full day to setup my so-called "dot files repo".

My goal was to be able to install any debian-based distro and run a single script, non-interactive, that would get me up and running. All that I needed to do was to clone code I wanted to work on.

After I created the dot files repo the process was:

- install distro

- checkout dot files

- run script

- do I have everything I need? (minikube, k9s, jq, yq, asdf, terraform, git config, nvim config, etc.)

- if no, then:

   - fix, commit, push

   - remove distro
amne··on Show HN: Kardinal – Building light-weight Kubernetes dev ephemeral environments
unfortunately, this tool assumes full coverage with k8. but let's say you have an external pub/sub solution and your services are decoupled. that's a pretty low bar.

sidenote: I noticed Istio (envoy actually) has some weird non-deterministic behavior when you hit pod resource limits (504 bad gateway, 0DC)

amne··on Calling All Hackers
should've been a post. you're right. who knows? maybe it could've topped HN .. or should I say RN (runnersnews?)
amne··on Ask HN: How to Price a Product
In 2024? you anchor!

You make the tool convert to brainfuck for 9.99 and for 39.99 you can also have C. For everything else it's a 9.99 extra/month, except JS. You make JS (replace JS with the main language you're targeting) available only as part of a bundle at 29.99 extra/month but only if they've already got the 39.99 option.

There, priced.

also to clarify, I just called it "e-ink" because I didn't know what it was, it just looked like e-ink based on how it seems to change (flicker and then transition to new image). I have no idea what it is :D

amne··on A Swiss town banned billboards. Zurich, Bern may soon follow
You should checkout F1. they now have e-ink on the side of the cars and the ads are dynamic and catch your eye. I would be curious to find out if it's some exotic type of e-ink tech they use to keep it lightweight (as in .. as light as a decal or paint)
amne··on What's the point of std:monostate? You can't do anything with it
so "std::nothing" was taken? or "std::none" ? or anything else that would make it obvious this type is a fancy way to say void?

amne··on GitHub Copilot is not infringing your copyright (2021)
My take is that artists are hypocrites.

" If you had so many dollars you would change your motto/ to say your account is 7 digits like you won the lotto/ buy vanilla ice and lick it like there's no tomorrow "

In hip-hop culture these lyrics could jog someone's memory of some Nas lyrics, some 8 mile battle songs maybe.

Could an AI come up with those awful lyrics? It sure could if it knew the specific Nas lyrics, 8 mile battle lyrics, knew about the lotto and twist the rules, what a motto is and so on.

Would it infringe any copyright by knowing the lyrics to Nas songs, 8 mile battle songs? According to you, yes. But I disagree.

Why hypocrites? Because I think artists (and coders) are always inspired by someone else's work and add their own experience, context, personality on top to create new work. Yes, generative AI is doing it a massive scale and democratizing most of the creative process, but to me it's the same thing even if, technically, it may be very crude and basic.

amne··on Getting Your DBA Teams Scripts into Git
going off of "devops are sysadmin that push their scripts to git" I think we can now call DBAs DbOps. I pronounce it like "deebops".
amne··on Ladybird Web Browser becomes a non-profit with $1M from GitHub Founder
"built on web standards" - I believe it needs critical mass of both websites and installs for this to be a feature when the mainstream browser has hardcoded quirks.

Also, I am very curious why is someone like Shopify sponsoring this.
