Because of vibe coding everyone is a developer now so the number of accounts, PRs, repos, etc just 10x'd.
dreday··on What's my JND? – a colour guessing game
I thought I was good at this but I can’t get under 0.0050. I blame my screen!

Very addictive, kudos to the dev

dreday··on Show HN: What's my JND? – a colour guessing game
This takes something as nerdy as decimal places in CSS colors and turns it into a fun, practical read. It feels like you’re being walked through the rabbit hole by a friend who’s done way too much homework, then hands you a few simple rules you can actually remember and use.

Looks amazing
dreday··on DJI Virtual Flight (iOS) has been broken for five months
Please don't give Tony DJI a hard time. He's just a support person who's taking the brunt for a large corporation's priority's decisions.

Aka snafu

Same, same.
dreday··on COSMIC DE: Desktop environment created for Pop!_OS and other Linux distros
Same! Drives me crazy every time I have to set up a new Mac for myself (I'm a contractor and clients sometimes insist i use their hardware). I have to Google it every time.

Sure but you have to fight made up wars to keep the rich rich and risk your life in the process.
dreday··on Why I Hate Frameworks (2005)
No, i get it. But the author analogy is dumb (even if funny). There's literally no one stopping you from just downloading a "hammer" from the internet and just using that. The "stores" haven't stopped selling "hammers". Even if they're also selling "factory factory factory".

Go ahead and build your apps out of whatever you want, no one is forcing you to build it using frameworks.

But I promise you, if frameworks did not exist half the apps I use today wouldn't either. There's a right tool for every job and the article pretends there isn't.

dreday··on Why I Hate Frameworks (2005)
You know why this is so dumb? Because there's an analogy that's very similar that explains why we have frameworks.

A: I wanna buy a tree. B: Ok. We have trees. What do you need a tree for? A: i want trees so i can make lumber out of them. So i can cut them in two by eights. So i can build a deck deck for my patio B: Hmm we sell two de eights. You wanna buy that instead? A: Oh yes why! I would like that! I'll buy two by eights instead of trees so i can finish my job faster!

Yeah right. Back in those days we had a page view counter RIGHT ON THE PAGE

And get thrilled when someone who in your "guest book".

The only thing all generations have in common is their despise for the following generations. But we keep on doing the exact same things. We just forget how it really was in our days while remembering only the good stuff.

dreday··on Far Cry 1.34 source code (2006)
I think in the US they would be protected under section 230. Which is a reminder to is all (in the US) of why section 230 is so important.
dreday··on Far Cry 1.34 source code (2006)
I have never heard of Senuas Sacrifice, so I googled it. It's 85% off on steam summer sale ($4.49 in the US). Just an fyi for anyone else interested.

dreday··on Ask HN: Is GitHub down?
Something that I've found that helps me with impostor syndrome is to read and talk about it.

dreday··on Supreme Court strikes down affirmative action in college admissions
Ok. Did they propose a different way to combat systemic racism?
dreday··on The damaging results of mandated return to office
Exactly. Hybrid does not work for me. I want to live wherever I feel like, not wherever your company wants to have offices.
