debone··on The Sloppification of Peptides
It was a quote from Claude.
debone··on Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI?
Thanks for the push10k app, I didn't know I was looking for something like this
debone··on AI is making junior devs useless
My experience is that 100% of AI devs are reinventing the wheel, most of the time for no better reason than "I can do it" or "not invented here"
debone··on Doing Rails Wrong
Had similar experience with Rust. It's a constant stream of invalidation of your problems "you're holding it wrong".
debone··on Valley of Despair
Thanks for this. It reminded myself I am on this exact place with my current game. I thought it'd would go away with more projects done, but I feel like it's getting worse at every iteration.
debone··on The Second Half
Not really true.

You can have a book where in the last chapter you have a phrase "She was not his kid."

Knowing nothing else, you can only infer the self-contained details. But in the book context this could be the phrase which turns everything upside down, and it could refer to a lot of context.

debone··on Simulating water over terrain
No, seriously, do check https://nickmcd.me Incredible!
debone··on An End, and a Beginning
It sounds like the Gumroad story.

On the other hand, despite amazed by their UX thinking, I tried to use Muse and the lack of structured content (tasks, lists, connections) was a deal-breaker.

debone··on Ask HN: Is TypeScript worth it?
I'm wondering what do you mean by obvious things, do you have any example? TypeScript can infer types[0] even through context, and it's even a good practice to let TypeScript do that for you.

debone··on NASA’s Webb takes star-filled portrait of Pillars of Creation
If you look the picture in the Webb's original rotation, there are 4 shining stars (?) on the middle-right of the picture. Now, if you follow down with your eyes, there's a structure that's eerily similar to the Pillars :)

Even more interesting when you think about the plethora of events that must be happening there in this interval of time at human scale. The Sun alone, 8 light minutes away, in seconds is consuming hydrogen and generating energy at amounts that we as humanity could use for thousands and thousands of years.
debone··on NASA’s Webb takes star-filled portrait of Pillars of Creation
No, I was thinking in terms that the pillars are glowing and illuminating themselves, which would be really coincidence to have this luminescence only on areas that would look like a shadow or not.

It turns out that for my original question, there is actually something illuminating it from the top-right. As massive as the pillars are, they are part of a yet bigger structure [0] and the brightness generated is allowing us to see it with better depth. It's really incomprehensible to grasp how large things can get.

debone··on NASA’s Webb takes star-filled portrait of Pillars of Creation
Ah, so radiation is being emitted and blocked in a way that coincides to the way we interpret 3d objects, is that right? Because if it would be uniform, the bright orange colors would be uniformly distributed?
debone··on NASA’s Webb takes star-filled portrait of Pillars of Creation
Why does it look like there's some really bright object shining from the top-right of the pillars, giving the impression that there's actually a shadow on it?

edit: right, not left.

edit 2: well, there's no impression here. There IS something larger shining it, the rest of the structure the pillars are part of.

debone··on Show HN: A Little Tool to Visualize Guitar Chords
@4lejandrito Thanks for that, I was playing with it and the chord naming feels a bit off from what I expected. Chords like D and C got unconventional namings: https://react-guitar.com?strings=0%7C1%7C0%7C2%7C3%7C0
