frainfreeze··on Tell HN: Announcing tomhow as a public moderator
One more welcome from another Tom o/

Nice to hear someone else is looking at Arc now as well! Any chance we might see some issues on anarki resolved now? Perhaps https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/issues/89 would be a good starting point :grin:

Jokes aside, its good to see YC cares about community, and looking forward to seeing your nick in the comments. Good luck

frainfreeze··on Ask HN: How do I learn drawing?
Your hand-brain connection will need some debugging, but just like with engineering, exposure and practice makes you better:

  1. draw, the more the better. 
  2. practice fundamentals. 
  3. have fun.
Some resources worth checking out:

  - Lessons on drawabox.com for basics
  - Digital painting lessons on ctrlpaint.com
  - How to draw by S. Robertson and T. Bertling
  - Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter
  - Art & Fear: Observations On the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking
  - Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
  - Picture this by Molly Bang

frainfreeze··on PicoRio Linux RISC-V SBC is an open-source alternative to Raspberry Pi board
> Going into wild-ass speculation mode, if this board really is affordable, I wonder if it's being subsidized by the Chinese gov't to encourage RISC-V adoption.

You might find this[1] meeting with Steven Zhao interesting. Steven Zhao is the guy behind Orange Pi, raspberry pi alternative. Interesting part translated:

Steven announces that Orange Pi can buy a good quality WiFi component for $1, that his cards will have a good WiFi connection for that price.

- Uh, if the purchase of the component is $1, inevitably the exit price will be a little higher for the end customer, Mr. Zhao? - If you tell me the price, I will know your margin ... -

- No, because today all Orange Pi cards are sold at the BOM (Bills Of Material) price.

- Does that mean that the cost of engineers, premises, development hardware, design and all that ... isn't impacted in the price of a card?

- That's right.

- But how is that possible?

- We benefit from government grants.

And here's a statement that takes your breath away. Orange Pi is a private company in a state dumping system. This can be said from a Western point of view, of the international agreements and of all the conceptual set-up intended to protect the big established industrialists.

frainfreeze··on Show HN: Tundra.sh – Blog friendly static pages generator using pandoc
Hello HN community, I have been messing around with different static pages generators for years. I stitched tundra.sh up around tools I already had installed (shell, cat, awk, pandoc...) to generate myself a simple blog and static pages.

I hope it could be useful for you too. I would appreciate any feedback on it. Thank you!
