cadooo··on Show HN: Scorecard.gg – minimalist scoring tool for your favorite board games
Mosaic will be useful. Can't believe the retail version didn't come with anything to track score.
cadooo··on Tell HN: Twitter is now rate limiting accounts
NHL Free Agency started today. Lots of people getting hit with the limits. The hockey analysts on TV have been complaining about it. Up until now it's been a big source of this type of information. Not a good look.

cadooo··on Svelte 4
I took the course when he did it live. There is lots of good stuff in there. The meat of the course was mostly going through learn.svelte.dev. One day was on Svelte and one day was on Sveltekit. The most interesting part was the end of day sessions where you actually build apps.

I don't think you learn anything that wouldn't apply to Svelte 4. It's intended as a smaller update to prep them for bigger changes coming in Svelte 5.

cadooo··on Show HN: A 15 min daily stretch routine for desk workers
Really like this.

For the timer you should use a mono font so it doesn't jump around so much as it's ticking down.

A sound between stretches would be helpful for the times I can't see the screen. Would be good to be able toggle off/on.

cadooo··on Mathematicians discover shape that can tile a wall and never repeat
My immediate thought was how soon do I see this in a board game. Hexs are often used to create the game board. This could add a lot of variability to board setup.
cadooo··on Ask HN: Laid off folks, are you getting hired?
Honestly it's not a bad option if you except the work will suck. I did it for a while after getting severance from a tech job. I did a first year carpentry program. We built a house from the ground up for Habitat for Humanity.

After the program I worked in the industry for a while. When you are starting in carpentry it's a lot of grunt work. People won't care if you have any training. After a full day of vacuuming drywall dust I had enough. Quit and landed a programming job.

I still think it was a valuable experience. It shows you value of hard work. If there is time to lean there is time to clean is a very real thing. I was in the best shape of my life. I now have the skills to do most of my own Renos.

cadooo··on Single Application Mode: My favorite hidden feature of OS X
This article looks like an edited down version of this http://tidbits.com/article/10624

With no mention or link to the original work.

cadooo··on Microsoft drops "Surface," its tablet product to go head-to-head with iPad
Drops can be used in place of release. For example "the new Justin Beiber album drops today." In the tech world it is usually associated with discontinue.
cadooo··on We don't support Internet Explorer, and we're calling that a feature
One thing I hate is websites that block me from trying to use a site based on my browser. Give me a stern warning and let me use at my own risk. I'm not defending IE this has happened just as much in firefox and chrome for me.

I applied for a job recently that wanted me to take a test that required IE and windows. I passed on the job because that test was a fail.

cadooo··on Your Mom is Not a Valid Test Market
Id test it

Any other research I can read?

cadooo··on Ask HN: What music do you like to listen to while you program?
I mostly like to listen to electronic music while I code. The BBC's essential mix has served me well over the last ten years. BBC Radio 1 and Radio 1Xtra have some decent shows with no commercials.

Like some have said sometimes I need silence. Mostly on complex sections of code or when I need to think a lot.
