bbmario··on Httpx: A next-generation HTTP client for Python
I know this is unrelated, but probably a lot of Pythonistas here and I've been wondering: what is the async web framework of choice for you guys today? As for DBs, still SQLAlchemy? What about a prettier (js) alternative?
bbmario··on VVVVVV’s source code is now public, 10 year anniversary jam happening now
Flash left a huge void in the indie community that has yet to be filled by something. Remember Newgrounds.
bbmario··on Home in Nix – dotfile management
Same here. New machine? Add a remote, checkout master.
bbmario··on The Oldschool PC Font Pack
Given that our monitors have outrageous resolutions today, I miss pixel-perfect fonts with good size. I'm getting older and the eyes are not getting any better.
bbmario··on Translating Quake 3 into Rust
Is the final code readable/maintainable?
bbmario··on Impossible Pork
Certainly safer for the animals.
bbmario··on Show HN: Terrastruct – A Diagramming Tool for Systems
How is this different from draw.io?
bbmario··on Show HN: I combined Milligram, Skeleton, and Normalize into a single CSS project
Do you even need stuff like this when we have CSS Grid now?
bbmario··on The Polygons of Another World
Fabien's blog is a pot of gold. I love this "archeological" approach to programming. He also makes the articles feel like documentaries. It's just unique.
bbmario··on Hacking Your Keyboard
I wonder how much latency that adds up.
bbmario··on I love coding in C
How do you generate the test cases? Check the types being fed in and fed out, then generate random input/output scenarios?
bbmario··on Story of Odoo: Open-Sourced Competitor to Oracle, SAP
You guys should definitely dial down on the marketing hyperbole. A good technical getting started documentation would be much better than forcing potential users to dig through GitHub and stumble their way in.
bbmario··on Lilith: x86-64 OS written in Crystal
This is one of the most fun things I've seen in a while. Congrats.

bbmario··on Typing inside of the default WSL terminal feels amazing (2018)
RXVT sucks, but typing on it feels so good that it is what I use.
bbmario··on Pay Mothers and Tie Increases to Child's Math Skills
Vaguely? That's polite.
bbmario··on State of JavaScript 2019
Sad to see that CoffeeScript is not even listed.
bbmario··on PinePhone Review
PLEASE. This is such an amazing topic for a presentation.

Can you make calls with Twilio? Like, from my Headset to a Phone?
bbmario··on Reject Google Nest or Amazon Ring Corp Surveillance and a Dystopic Future
Never heard of that before. I love it. Thanks!
bbmario··on Reject Google Nest or Amazon Ring Corp Surveillance and a Dystopic Future
I agree. How is this any different from previous offerings from ADT and others? Cheaper to own, easier to setup.
bbmario··on Reject Google Nest or Amazon Ring Corp Surveillance and a Dystopic Future
I own a couple of Arlo cameras that I bought 3 years ago. They still offer free cloud storage because I'm an old customer, so it's kind of a good deal. I only turn them on when I'm out of town. They have a separate router, so it's a little bit harder to hack than Ring.

I wish, however, there was an affordable DIY solution to home cameras. And yet, I still couldn't find a setup that is completely open-source and/or provides me enough freedom. Has anyone started digging into this?

bbmario··on VirtualBox 6.1
This.
bbmario··on Show HN: Flash replacement
This. And this is also the reason why gaming on HTML5 hasn't picked up yet: there's no widely supported container format. I can't easily share/distribute/version HTML5 games like it was possible with SWF containers.

On top of that, it's also not easy to "watermark" HTML5 games. With SWF, you could create custom loaders and force ads and logos, both core revenue models for gaming websites.

bbmario··on Elementary OS 5.1 Hera
One thing that makes me love Elementary: they're sticking to skeuomorphic design.
bbmario··on React Table is a “headless” UI library
jQuery DataTables is unrivaled.
bbmario··on Black Tide in Brazil
What is it with HN and the hate towards americans?
bbmario··on Unofficial Windows XP SP4
How can I make a VirtualBox VM out of this?
bbmario··on Show HN: Tailwind Builder – online editor for the Tailwind CSS framework
One thing I don't understand is the lack of "subtemplates" for sale. I'm not sure if that would be a good name, but I would love to be able to buy a template pack that uses vanilla Bootstrap, Bulma or anything else, and with the building blocks, creates template pages for various use cases: pricing tables, admin dashboards, my account sections, cart, search results, etc.
bbmario··on Show HN: Tailwind Builder – online editor for the Tailwind CSS framework
From all the tools I've seen, yours is really nice. It respects both the framework and the developer by not adding crappy custom CSS, using the framework as the official documentation mandates and prioritizes a sane workflow. Congrats!

Do you have any roadmap when it comes to more content? I think that's what is king with those tools. I use them because I don't want to hand-design markup for yet another pricing table or any other generic startup design component I need. I like being able to drag and drop them around, and then just go back to my backend code and make that shit work.

I would love to have a more extensive gallery, specially when it comes to items: search results, filtering, sorting, grid view, list view, swipers, etc.
