hyperbolablabla··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2026)
Had no idea FUTO made Immich, kudos to your great work. Wish I could join the team but my Flutter xp is very much hobbyist only... Best of luck though!
hyperbolablabla··on The little holes in your bread are telling you something
Indeed, what an arduous read.
hyperbolablabla··on Stockfish 19
Wouldn't be that hard in my case
hyperbolablabla··on Anthropic Is Building a Predictive Surveillance System to Monitor Activists
Can't wait for the UK government to start convicting dissidents for precrime
hyperbolablabla··on Building my own network stack
Wanting to incorporate an http server into a C project of mine, the only battle-tested or feature-complete options either allocated dynamic memory UTH without an option to override the allocators, or are too opinionated with the core API, like mandating callbacks for everything. Suprisingly there's no decent (single header) C library that don't have these 2 issues, at least that I could find.
hyperbolablabla··on Omakase Computing
This kind of trite partisan comment does not belong on HN imo.
hyperbolablabla··on A Friendly Introduction to Racket
Naughty Dog uses Racket for all their scripting...
hyperbolablabla··on "Clean" Code, Horrible Performance (2023)
This is the author's gripe, though. You're sacrificing end user experience for developer ergonomics.
hyperbolablabla··on Government orders GitHub to remove Bluetooth-based chat app Bitchat: Jack Dorsey
Hmm, Osaka has plenty of trash cans... Did you mean Tokyo?
hyperbolablabla··on Scrcpy v4.0
Serious question, what are people using this for?
hyperbolablabla··on Cartoon Network Flash Games
I enjoyed the Dexter's one which was a point and click adventure where you had to solve puzzles.
hyperbolablabla··on Three constraints before I build anything
I actually love typos these days because it usually lets me know Im talking to a fellow human :)
hyperbolablabla··on Playdate’s handheld changed how Duke University teaches game design
Having made multiple (dare I say) fairly successful games on the Playdate, I can attest to how fantastic the developer experience has been and how easy it was for my non dev collaborators to get going. Pulp was a great in road for them to get started with game dev, and it's been a blast (despite how limiting Pulpscript is for a professional dev)

It's very low volume, sadly this was unavoidable I think, given the extremely custom nature of the input
hyperbolablabla··on The Physics of GPS
GPS (using TOA or absolute time of a arrival) is cool and everything, but I'm a much bigger fan of TDOA, when you trilaterate using time _difference_ of arrival, relative to each station. This involves finding the intersection of 3 hyperbolae... Which is where my user name comes from!
hyperbolablabla··on Londoners are sick of viral videos telling lies about their city
I'm a brit who was born in and lives in Watford. I was mugged at knifepoint on oxford street in 2019, and have personally witnessed multiple phone thefts. Non-fatal knife crime is very high, the statistics don't lie in that regard. I hope you don't have the right to vote, because your denial of reality is doing irreparable harm to my country.
hyperbolablabla··on Social media bans and digital curfews to be trialled on UK teenagers
Not to state the obvious but, isn't literacy an entry requirement for a college course?
hyperbolablabla··on Wayland set the Linux Desktop back by 10 years?
In my experience I have found the xdg-desktop-portal for whatever reason to be completely non functional on Arch/Hyprland. It must be an issue with my config but on x11 I never had to think about this
hyperbolablabla··on Moving from Python to Mojo
I want to love Mojo, but honestly, I think changing the semantics of the language is a massive footgun that will stunt adoption. Being a strict syntatic superset is not enough imo, and I'm not sure it can even make that claim?
hyperbolablabla··on Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command
At the most basic level, even just not letting Claude run terraform apply would've solved this issue. Review the god damn plan first! This is like engineering 101
hyperbolablabla··on New iPad Air, powered by M4
I don't understand how a trillion dollar company can't at this point say "you know what, I think we're good on the profit front, let's convert some of that into improving UX"
hyperbolablabla··on Jimi Hendrix was a systems engineer
I guess that makes Usain Bolt a physicist?
hyperbolablabla··on Jimi Hendrix was a systems engineer
A factoid is a fact commonly thought to be true, but is actually false.
hyperbolablabla··on The Holy Grail of Linux Binary Compatibility: Musl and Dlopen
My statement was a fact, and in my opinion not politically loaded, yet respectful to Justine. I chose my words carefully.
hyperbolablabla··on The Holy Grail of Linux Binary Compatibility: Musl and Dlopen
Justine identifies as a woman.
hyperbolablabla··on Ask HN: DDD was a great debugger – what would a modern equivalent look like?
AFAIK, RAD was acquired by Epic before Ryan began working on the Linux port
hyperbolablabla··on Building a Real-Time HN Display for $15
This is awesome. I've been meaning to check out WireGuard for some time, and this project has been inspiring for me. Thanks!
hyperbolablabla··on STFU
My friend does this and I feel the same way. I could never bring myself to do this, I cant even smile at people
hyperbolablabla··on Show HN: 22 GB of Hacker News in SQLite
My only gripe is that the tile metadata is stored as JSON, which I get is for compatibility reasons with existing software, but for e.g. a simple C program to implement the full spec you need to ship a JSON parser on top of the PMTiles parser itself.
hyperbolablabla··on Ask HN: Loneliness at 19, how to cope?
You need to learn to enjoy small talk, it's the bridge to "large" talk, which is how you connect with people. Meeting people you can connect with is a numbers game! So if you can learn to enjoy small talk (and get better at it), this would probably help a lot.
