c_s_guy··on Plan mode is dead
> write down a markdown file with its plan, then review the plan using plannotator

How do I use plannotator to review an arbitrary markdown file? It always opens the Claude Code plan file for me.

c_s_guy··on Vitest Browser Mode Guide
> Fast execution... despite running in a real browser, which at first might seem like it would be slow - it is actually really fast.

What makes it fast?

c_s_guy··on DeepWiki – Which repo would you like to understand?
Hi Silas!

Are there any plans to allow running DeepWiki against private non-GitHub repos (e.g. GitLab, Azure DevOps, etc) and keep the output private?

c_s_guy··on Ask HN: My manager is bad. Should I care?
> someone who is good (in competence and/or in behavior) than someone who is nice

What if you're both? This makes me feel self-conscious about being "nice" and toning it down.

c_s_guy··on Facebook just updated its relationship status with Web Components
One of the biggest problems I run into with Web Components is how to share common CSS styles between them. I understand that goes against the idea that each web component should be encapsulated, but sometimes this is desirable.

Say you have a component library where each component depends on a base set of styles and you don't want to load duplicate styles for each component.

Is there a best practice around this yet?

c_s_guy··on Optimize CSS with SAT Solving
As a starting point, Tailwind used to use PurgeCSS [0] but I'm not sure what they use now.

c_s_guy··on FreeTaxUSA
Anyone know of a Canadian equivalent?
c_s_guy··on OpenAI's employees were given two explanations for why Sam Altman was fired
If Emmett will run this the same way he ran Twitch, I'm not expecting much action from him.
c_s_guy··on Archived YouTube Video Finder
Interestingly, my YouTube playlists now say "unavailable videos are hidden" so I can't get the link.
c_s_guy··on An interactive intro to CRDTs
I've seen it come up often in collaborative text editors.

c_s_guy··on TypeScript NPM Packages Done Right
To go from .ts -> .js -> execution more quickly. Am I misunderstanding something?
c_s_guy··on Mullvad Browser
There are plenty of use cases so I'm sure it varies.

For example, I often have my browser on the left side and my editor on the right. With only 50% of the width, I sometimes prefer to reclaim the horizontal space and switch back to horizontal tabs.

c_s_guy··on We reduced the size of our JavaScript bundles by 33%
I was actually looking into building a library today with Webpack and ran into similar problems. But could you help me understand what you meant here?

> but it won't output to a standard format, even with experimental ESM output feature enabled,

Are you saying ESM is not a standard format? Or that the ESM output doesn't actually follow standard ESM? Or maybe you meant something else entirely?

c_s_guy··on I'm 17 and wrote this guide on how CPUs run programs
Is there an equivalent article for "what happens when you load a website?"? If it's written anything like this one, it'd be super helpful and I'd love to read it!
c_s_guy··on Tailwind and the Beauty of Ugly Code
I've never understood why public opinion is so polarizing on Tailwind.

Could someone with experience in both camps help me understand the tradeoffs, and offer any guidance on whether Tailwind would (not) be a good fit?

c_s_guy··on Breaking Up with SVG-in-JS in 2023
Are there any negative impacts to accessibility with the `<use href="#icon-name" />` sprite approach?
c_s_guy··on LlamaAcademy: Teach GPTs to understand API documentation with LoRA
It looks like https://www.diagrams.net/
c_s_guy··on Launch HN: Moonrepo (YC W23) – Open-source build system
> However, it's not the taskrunner that I want.

Could you elaborate a bit on what you mean here? Is this saying Turborepo's task runner is flawed in some way?

c_s_guy··on Summer Afternoon – A WebGL Experiment
Secret hints:

1. Animal on roof

2. Animal on tree

3. Large object in trees

4. Beach goer

5. Small wooden fence room

c_s_guy··on It's always been you, Canvas2D
May I ask why `window.resize` is used over `matchMedia`[0] to detect DPR changes? Is one approach better than the other?

c_s_guy··on It's always been you, Canvas2D
> Though you don't need 4 arcTo in order to make a rounded rect, you can use bezier instead (we do)

I'm pretty new to this - do you have an example of using bezier? And why is it preferred over arcTo?

c_s_guy··on Where do your eyes go?
For fighting games, here's an example of what Sako looks at. He is playing as Elena on the 2P side.

c_s_guy··on Cleaning Up Git History
I'm not experienced enough to form a strong opinion on this. Could you provide some reasons why you strongly disagree?

At first glance, it seems like a beneficial goal. If I ever need to checkout different points of history to find a breaking change, it'd be nice if I can run the code after every `git checkout`.

c_s_guy··on Why I distrust Google Cloud more than than AWS or Azure
I had a similar problem. We wanted to get on a call to resolve it quickly, but was instead forced into an email chain where I received a reply every 3 weeks.
c_s_guy··on Does Amazon make more from ads than AWS?
I've never actually bought straight from a dealership so excuse my naivety here, but wouldn't they be better off trying to sell me the car that is best for me? Otherwise if it doesn't meet my needs, I won't be buying anything.
c_s_guy··on Just Wanted to Say Thanks
I imagine it might also cause adverse effects if someone happens to be missed.
c_s_guy··on Baremetrics required a phone call to cancel
I've had a very similar experience with Fido Solutions a few years ago.

When I eventually gave up and called, the representative tried to convince me not to cancel by describing the various scenarios in which emergencies could happen (including my family getting hurt) and I wouldn't be reachable without the phone plan.

c_s_guy··on New things in Android 11
Do you have examples of where Apple is ahead? I'm currently trying to decide if I should make the switch to iOS.
c_s_guy··on Chrome OS has stalled out
As in a temporary loss? It's been a while since I've used this, but I believe some of those services support an "Offline Mode". Not perfect, but it's something.
