bkmn··on Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
For the swedes: Jönssonligan.
bkmn··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (March 2022)
Thank you! That means a lot to me.
bkmn··on An enhancement request I submitted to Bugzilla 15 years ago was just closed
I opened bug #337051 in 2006 and it got closed in 2016. While I can't take any credit for the actual squashing of the bug it feels good having contributed to an important and very long-term project like Firefox.
bkmn··on Andrew Yang to launch a third party
Wouldn’t this be a fourth party? Edit: ah, “third party” is an expression in American politics. Learning something new every day.
bkmn··on Intel's disruption is now complete
Is it really that meaningful to talk about disruption if the product being disruptive isn’t available on a general market?
bkmn··on Emma Willard's Maps of Time
Note to self: build this in VR :O
bkmn··on Apple HomePod
”An Apple-designed A8 chip powers the most complex audio innovations in HomePod. Like real-time modeling of the woofer mechanics. Buffering that’s even faster than real time.”

Faster than real-time. That IS fast!

bkmn··on Ask HN: How do I MVP an e-book?
Thanks! Great tip!
bkmn··on Ask HN: Software for templated emails?
I hadn't thought of integrating with Google Sheets/Drive/Docs! Thanks!
bkmn··on Hard-won lessons: Five years with Node.js
Tror inte det blir brunch på stan på söndag
bkmn··on Sid Meier’s Civilization VI
The mechanics of Civ VI seems great, but I’m not to keen on the new, cartoony, style of graphics...

And why couldn’t they keep the fantastic Art Deco-style UI?

bkmn··on Shame on Y Combinator
> Racism is not just racism, sexism is not just sexism.

Yes, yes they are.

bkmn··on Show HN: Printed Books from WhatsApp with Python and LaTeX
Ah, ok. That should be doable.
bkmn··on Show HN: Printed Books from WhatsApp with Python and LaTeX
That’s reasonable. In our case ”the very personal” usually mean opinions on events and other people, stuff that is only sensitive if you know us. I wouldn’t print logs that included bank statements, and I probably wouldn’t print this kind of thing if I were a public figure.
bkmn··on Show HN: Printed Books from WhatsApp with Python and LaTeX
Yeah, Messenger is on my list.
bkmn··on Show HN: Printed Books from WhatsApp with Python and LaTeX
Haha, that’s a great idea!
bkmn··on Show HN: Printed Books from WhatsApp with Python and LaTeX
I try to keep them to 12 months each, ending at the last day of a specific month. I’ve printed three books so far; you’d think the thickness of individual books would vary a lot per year, but for our group it seems the amount of chatting is constant :)
bkmn··on Show HN: Printed Books from WhatsApp with Python and LaTeX
Agree! I’m working on it, books hopefully delivered within two or three weeks.
bkmn··on Show HN: Printed Books from WhatsApp with Python and LaTeX
Have you tried them? Good results?
bkmn··on Show HN: Printed Books from WhatsApp with Python and LaTeX
I’ll take a look! Thanks!
bkmn··on Show HN: Printed Books from WhatsApp with Python and LaTeX
Thanks, I hadn’t heard of Lulu!
bkmn··on Show HN: Printed Books from WhatsApp with Python and LaTeX
Haha, yeah that is a great christmas gift!
bkmn··on Show HN: Printed Books from WhatsApp with Python and LaTeX
Happy you liked it!
bkmn··on Progress in the making
Sorry to be negative, but these are all bad. GAP-bad.
bkmn··on A Pixel Artist Renounces Pixel Art (2015)
Related how pixel art on a CRT is different from anything else: Darren Walls Kickstarter-funded book 'The Bitmap Brothers' will use a special form of pixel art printing! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darrenwall/the-bitmap-b...
bkmn··on Microsoft to acquire LinkedIn for $26B
Infinite upvote!
bkmn··on Daydream Is Google’s Android-Powered VR Platform
Yes, but VR needs something that's better than Google Cardboard, but more open than GearVR. I expect Android VR to become the "lowest common denominator VR experience".
bkmn··on Ask HN: What's the best tool you used to use that doesn't exist anymore?
The BeBox
bkmn··on Withings acquired by Nokia
Here's to waiting for the "The Burning Smartwatch Memo"!

Jokes aside, I think Nokia has great potential in the wearables category.

bkmn··on The H6D-100c: Hasselblads 100MP medium format camera
That might sound expensive, but in fact it's only $330 per megapixel!
