arittr··on Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music
this is one of my all time fave internet properties. it never gets old... and somehow it's still being updated?? new version looks nice, but i do miss that late 90s aesthetic from before...
arittr··on The Promised LAN
This is awesome - I've always fantasized about doing something like this, but Tailscale gets you pretty close without the interesting work.
arittr··on Can Speed Radar Measure Music? [video]
I love this, thank you. Makes total sense but would never, ever have thought of it.
arittr··on SpacetimeDB
am i the only one who hoped (and thought from the logo) that this was by the Spaceteam devs?
arittr··on Ross Ulbricht granted a full pardon
Now that I didn’t expect
arittr··on Stephen Fry – AI: A Means to an End or a Means to Our End?
love Fry, love even more having AI to summarize that plodding article for me
arittr··on Janet Jackson had the power to crash laptop computers (2022)
Shoutout to Raymond Chen, all of these posts are HN gold

I’ll just go quit my day job now

arittr··on Gentoo Linux Drops IA-64 (Itanium) Support – Gentoo Linux
Idk why but this makes me sad (and feel kind of old). Maybe now I can finally afford one
arittr··on 1991 WWW-NeXT Implementation
Thx simonw this rules
arittr··on Priscila, Queen of the Rideshare Mafia
Was just going to say this… what a bummer
arittr··on Student uses black soldier flies to grow pea plants in simulated Martian soil
Read this as “solder” and really walked away confused
arittr··on Debian is the greatest Linux distro of them all
Arch rules. The AUR is great, but honestly for me it’s more about how deeply I know the system because it’s made of my choices, both good and bad.

That being said, Ubuntu in prod.

arittr··on Donating forks to the dining hall
That was a great read
arittr··on Sudon't
Definitely my first time hearing about https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/chiark-really/really.8.e... - just a great command name right there
arittr··on A portable Common Lisp toolkit for building inspectors
Yup, me too. Actually I needed this comment for it to click, I was reading the src looking for code that might have something to do with beams and buildings.
arittr··on Three women contract HIV from dirty "vampire facials" at unlicensed spa
I don’t agree with that at all. While I do think HN discussion has become generally more negative I still almost always find interesting or useful stuff in comments. I think they’re a valuable way to check the pulse of the tech community.
arittr··on Krazam OS
still one of my all time faves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8OnoxKotPQ
arittr··on How well can LLMs write COBOL?
This looks great! Can’t wait to try it out today
arittr··on Adélie Linux
> Your needs are complex—and that's music to our ears because we're constantly looking for new ways to further refine Adélie. Please note that we do not support inherently broken designs.

Idk i probably wouldn’t use this simply because of this text, but that’s just me.

arittr··on Show HN: GIF Horse, a GPT to generate animated GIF from a prompt
i found it weirdly off-putting for a GPT to offer me a random constructed file for download. i'm sure it's fine, but would be nice to see the source of the Python script.

am i not supposed to look a GIF Horse in the mouth?

arittr··on Choose your own IP
"One thing you can rely on with IPv4: whatever the problem, Network Address Translation is part of the solution."

NAT... the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.

arittr··on Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music
one of the all time greatest, always happy to see this pop up. i hope it never goes down.
arittr··on 'Verified human': Worldcoin users queue up for iris scans
Honestly I think so, yes.
arittr··on In 2017, developers competed for who could create worst volume control interface
I hadn’t seen it, but I also as a rule don’t use Reddit. I rely on HN to surface the good stuff to me. Like this!
arittr··on Jack's Ass
this was my experience with surgery ~5 months ago 100%. the surgery helped, but certainly didn't "fix" it in any sense of that word.

the pain was super interesting. i have pretty bad OCD and it was strange to note that there are levels of pain where anxiety (or any other thought) is just a luxury you don't have time for.

i have a new appreciation and empathy for people who suffer with chronic pain.

arittr··on A cab ride I'll never forget (1999)
originally came for hacks and code tricks; stayed for the posts like this that make me actually feel and think. thanks hn.
arittr··on The Many Branches of the Fediverse
points on PC culture aside, it really bothers me to have slurs thrown out in HN comments to prove said points. i'm not usually offended by stuff, but i want this community to be held to a higher standard re: discourse
arittr··on Twenty years of my blog
Working with Simon was one of my fave parts of being at EB - the guy is just one of the smartest, most interesting, nicest people around. Strongest lunchtime banter in the industry too.
arittr··on MirageOS: A programming framework for building type-safe, modular systems
Was going to say something snarky about “most complex hello world seen recently” until I remembered I sometimes write react for a living.
