johanvts··on Ask HN: Will programmers write more efficient code during the memory shortage?
Only if people start buying computers with less memory, if they just buy fewer computers it doesn’t seem worhwhile.
johanvts··on Emacs 31 is around the corner: The changes I'm daily driving
Excellent news! But what are the odds that “treesit-auto-install-grammar” is going to work on Windows? Finding precompiled grammars is so annoying. Windows support would be fantastic, and im hoping these improvements come to eglot next.
johanvts··on An Ohio Valley 100k-watt FM signal is severed in broad daylight
I dont see how insurance solves it. The station had insurance and the crime still happened. Insurance doesn’t seem to take the thieves motives in to consideration at all, works the same for theft and earthquakes.
johanvts··on An Ohio Valley 100k-watt FM signal is severed in broad daylight
Im Danish, and I approve of the welfare state system, but we still have people cutting down EV charger cables etc here.

Why hasn’t the economist of the world figured out a solution to this problem. There has to be a better way when both sides would be better off by just paying the theif double. Some kind of proof of work system to show that you really are crazy enough to do the crime maybe.
johanvts··on SpaceX, Other Mega IPOs Denied Fast Index Entry by S&P
Many companies are listed in multiple exchanges. Unilever, Shell, AstraZeneca, BP, and many more.

johanvts··on The Emacsification of Software
Nope, straight edge windows user.
johanvts··on EU fines Temu €200M for allowing sale of illegal products
If you start the company in China and ship to EU. If you start it in a EU country I think local laws will stop you much faster than the EU commission. Still there are plenty of grifters that start fraudulent companies in the EU and roll assets into a new one as they bankrupt, and they can operate for decades before they eventually get stopped.
johanvts··on Commission fines Temu €200M for breaching the Digital Services Act
The TEMU shoppers I know are all older and plenty rich and just basically don’t realize/comprehend that there is a cost to shopping low quality toxic garbage beyond what the see on their receipt. I don’t think cost of living crisis is fueling TEMU, its the desire for unbounded consumption + gamification of shopping.
johanvts··on ArcBrush – Node-based 2D image editor
How does it compare to graphite.rs ?
johanvts··on The Emacsification of Software
Music apps especially went downhill, spotify and tidal etc need to offer apis so we can integrate several sources in one app. They used to offer much more. I was able to import my library into spotify once (thoigh it could only hold 10k item back then). I want all my music in one place, not 4 apps
johanvts··on The Emacsification of Software
The problem is the dependencies, getting hunspell installed and finding the dictionary files for example. I normally only get a new computer every few years and each time stuff like that is a new pain. And dont even start with treesitter, i cant compile anything on windows and always end up using prebuild dlls.
johanvts··on A construction of the Hat tilings by a Markov partition
Is there a paper or any explanation of what’s shown? Is it better than the construction given in the original paper somehow?
johanvts··on Flipdiscs
Can someone explain the “Fontainebleau art deco style”? I have been to Fountainbleau and I remember it as much older renaissance style architecture and geometric/baroque gardens.
johanvts··on 3.4M Solar Panels
It’s no less valuable because he got it cheap.
johanvts··on 10 years ago, someone wrote a test for Servo that included an expiry in 2026
That introduces dependency of a clock which might be undesirable, just had a similar problem where i also went for hardcoding for that reason.
johanvts··on Qwen3.6-35B-A3B: Agentic coding power, now open to all
Interesting thought, I looked it up out of curiosity and fund 155w max (but realistically more like 80w sustained) for the mac under load, and just around 20watts for the brain, surprisingly almost constant whether “under load” or not.
johanvts··on Qwen3.6-35B-A3B: Agentic coding power, now open to all
I think it’s difficult to draw a bike exactly because you remember how it works rather than how it looks, so you worry about placing all the functional parts and get the overall composition wrong. Similar to drawing faces, without training, people will consistently dedicate too much area to the lower part of the face and draw some kind of neanderthal with no forehead.
johanvts··on Backpacks got worse on purpose
I think Google has turned to garbage and especially for product reviews there is a flood of affiliate marketing grifters in every category. It takes effort and sometimes payment to find good reviews these days.
johanvts··on The AI School Bus Camera Company Blanketing America in Tickets
And with SUVs, great combination.

AI just means software at this point.
johanvts··on Simplest Hash Functions
This is a excellent article for anyone looking for some more in-depth analysis of tabulation based hashing methods: https://arxiv.org/abs/1505.01523
johanvts··on A complete GPT language model in ~600 lines of C#, zero dependencies
I think the app.cs approach is mainly for single file apps/scripts. While this is small there are two projects and several files so a solution + project files seems totally standard.

johanvts··on Why the US Navy won't blast the Iranians and 'open' Strait of Hormuz
I think both missiles and drones can launch from trucks.
johanvts··on Show HN: I turned a sketch into a 3D-print pegboard for my kid with an AI agent
Thank you so much, hope I can find a way to get this done!
johanvts··on Show HN: I turned a sketch into a 3D-print pegboard for my kid with an AI agent
They are great sets. I would worry there would be lots of small splinters coming from the holes with plywood, at least with pine it looks like it would be an issue. Do you use pine or poplar or birch or bamboo or something else? Thanks.
johanvts··on Show HN: I turned a sketch into a 3D-print pegboard for my kid with an AI agent
This looks like a great project for laser cutting, but I'm actually more interested in the peg-board itself. I would love to have a big one for the kids room that was compatible with the BRIO construction sets.
johanvts··on Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at kernel with massive speed gains
I don’t care if my shooter game “community” is toxic. I don’t have any interaction with the “community” other than to try and virtually kill its members. I wish my chess app had anti-cheat, there are just some people who will cheat and any game is more fun if they can be prevented from playing.
