cpachon Ask HN: What are you reading to your kids?

The Narnia books by CS Lewis are very good IMHO. But you might want to wait a year or two.

Who are they targeting with this product?

What’s the appeal? Can someone enlighten me? :)

cpachon Google will buy half the electricity from one of Finland's nuclear power plants

I’m starting to think that perhaps the government here in .se should support new reactors. It won’t be cheap though…

cpachon GPT-6 Astra

So what’s the tldr? :)

cpachon The largest electric aircraft just flew [video]

There are probably multiple reasons for doing so. I imagine some reasons are business risk, freedom to innovate, freedom to take a holistic perspective and improving the possibilites for raising capital.

If you build only the propulsion system you would be 100% dependent of existing aircraft companies, which are heavily invested in jet engines. It would probably be much harder to innovate and make good design choices in such a setting.

cpachon .name Termination

And maybe she was born like five minutes before midnight, so he couldn’t just wait an hour or two (:

cpachon .name Termination

Huh? I don’t follow.

IMHO, this whole TLD seems kind of messed up from the start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.name

cpachon Emacs 31: An unofficial guide to Markdown-ts-mode

That sounds like an improvement. Thank you for explaining!

cpachon Emacs 31: An unofficial guide to Markdown-ts-mode

“You probably heard of this new markdown-ts-mode and decided to check it out.”

Uhm, no, I haven’t.

Why should I care if the Markdown mode uses Treesitter or not…? Does it affect the performance or UX somehow?

cpachon When str.lower() is a security vulnerability in Python

Seems kinda logical, since that’s how the Germans did it for a long time? ẞ wasn’t introduced until 2017 or so, AFAICT.

cpachon Stop Making TUIs

IMHO those screenshots look far from enticing.

I guess it’s a matter of taste ¯\＿(ツ)＿/¯

cpachon Stop Making TUIs

This makes me curious. What are your favourite TUI applications?

The only one I use is Copilot (inside of a VM). ALl other applications I use are GUI/CLI/webapps.

Emacs is primarily keyboard driven.

cpachon Ask HN: What's Up with Archive.today?

Works fine for me. (Sweden, tried on my smartphone using LTE connection.)

cpachon Lobste.rs is now running on SQLite

FWIW, you might want to consider publishing your e-mail address in your HN profile or on your website. Otherwise it’s hard for people to get in touch with you.

Why does it matter?
