That's a very good idea. I might use that for my script. Thanks!

hachibuon The Al Jaffee / Mad Magazine Fold-In Effect in CSS

As a kid, this was my favorite part of Mad Magazine.

hachibuon If I could bring one thing back to the internet it would be blogs

Thanks for the wonderfully insightful comment. I need to save this so I can periodically look at it for motivation!

hachibuon The Many-Worlds Interpretation of JavaScript

That's pretty cool actually. That speaks to your consistency as a programmer.

hachibuon The Many-Worlds Interpretation of JavaScript

This is a great comment. I updated my post based on your suggestion.

hachibuon The Many-Worlds Interpretation of JavaScript

Author here. Thanks for educating me on the subtleties. It seems like I was mixing up a Level 3 multiverse with a Level 2. I made a small edit to remove the sentence about constants changing. And I also added a note that I edited the post.

hachibuon The Many-Worlds Interpretation of JavaScript

This is great. I'm learning so much from this thread.

hachibuon The Many-Worlds Interpretation of JavaScript

Ah, I think I'm beginning to understand. Perhaps I should just remove the sentence about constants changing.

hachibuon The Many-Worlds Interpretation of JavaScript

That's hilarious. I should have done that.

This is the video that inspired this project, but I don't think that I'm knowledgeable enough to answer your question with 100% certainty.

hachibuon The Many-Worlds Interpretation of JavaScript

Whoa, I'm so out of my depth. This is really cool. Thanks for sharing. I didn't know about the multiverse levels!

hachibuon The Many-Worlds Interpretation of JavaScript

Author here. Sorry, I guess I misunderstood that part of the hypothesis. Do you have a source, so I can edit my post and correct it?

hachibuon Why it's great to write blog posts

I like the table of contents at the beginning with the links. I'm going to steal that for my next blog post. The author is a really clear writer, and I love the table of contents because you can jump around and things are bite-sized.

hachibuon Jukebox

Oh wow, well at least Skynet has decent taste.

hachibuon Ask HN: Where do you write?

I use Hugo and I host my blog out of an AWS S3 bucket.

Pros:

  - Cheap.

  - Static and small. Hugo lets me really make everything tiny.

  - Learned more about AWS.

Cons:

  - A lot of work because I had to setup Route 53, CloudFront, Certificate Manager and S3.

  - Learning about the permission model and setting up an IAM user with right permissions.

  - Figuring out how Route 53, Certificate Manager and CloudFront work together so I could have SSL.

Reading this back, my pros and cons list sounds ridiculous.

hachibuon Good writing is a business advantage

>(An advertisement for myself.)

I love the author's sense of humor.

hachibuon Taming Callback Pyramids in AnuglarJS App Using Async/Await

Author here. Yes, there is a trade-off. The resulting code is much bigger than the original code because of this transformation. But, I think the trade-off is worth it because it makes the code simpler to read, write and maintain. As far as speed, I don't have any benchmarks but I don't think there is speed penalty. It's mainly an issue of code size.

hachibuon Sweden to shut bars and restaurants that ignore coronavirus restrictions

The news cycle is so chaotic and contradictory these days that I can't make heads or tails of anything.

ymmv but I went to Recurse Center and it sparked the joy again for me...twice!

hachibuon Crafting “Crafting Interpreters”

Thank you so much for writing this book and making this topic accessible to novices like myself.

hachibuon Ask HN: What is your blog and why should I read it?

https://hachibu.net/

I mostly write about front-end programming and JavaScript. I try to write short, catchy, educational posts. I also draw an illustration for each post, since I used to be a cartoonist a long time ago.

hachibuon 95th percentile isn't that hard to reach

> An example of something my editor helped us with was giving us a vocabulary we could use to discuss structural problems.

Does anyone know what he's referring to when he mentions the vocabulary for structural problems? Is there a book/blog to learn about this?

I have the same problem. I feel like something is off with my writing but I can't describe it.

Oh wow, thanks for the great reply. I didn't think anyone would respond. I'm going to dig into the links.

Do you have any other suggested reading?

hachibuon An ant colony has memories its individual members don’t have (2019)

I wonder if this could be used as an argument for Panpsychism?

That's a cool concept. I'd love to try it.
