jurakovic··on Lunar Terminator Paradox
Of course not, because the sun is much further away than the moon.
jurakovic··on Project Hail Mary – Stellar Navigation Chart
There is also one in Zagreb, Croatia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Views
jurakovic··on High Performance Git
What if that's only you? Git isn't made only for those who "just want to install something"
jurakovic··on Learn Claude Code by doing, not reading
Is that quiz correct? I have answered mostly C or D and maybe a few of B, but still got "Beginner". How?!
jurakovic··on 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips
There is this app https://github.com/Smerity/bitflipped _Your computer is a cosmic ray detector. Literally._
jurakovic··on The View from RSS
I love RSS but I didn't find good enough online reader that can be customized to my liking, so I built my own: https://jurakovic.github.io/dev-links/news/

I have many more ideas, but I don't have that much free time to implement all of it (even with Claude Code). But it serves me very well for now

jurakovic··on Flame Graphs vs Tree Maps vs Sunburst (2017)
For Windows there is SpaceSniffer. I highly recommend

jurakovic··on Ask HN: What are the best engineering blogs with real-world depth?
I maintain list of blogs together with "RSS reader" for personal purposes, but it's publicly available here:

jurakovic··on Thunderbird adds native Microsoft Exchange email support
Yeah, me too
jurakovic··on I almost got hacked by a 'job interview'
How is that jungle if someone aks you to give them your wallet and you just give it away? What was he thinking?
jurakovic··on The RSS feed reader landscape
I see, but yes and no. He is maybe the most active among them, but for that precise reason (I have it from the beginning, not after I stared reading his blog :)) I show only last 5 posts of each blog, to not pollute that list. This way everyone has a chance to stay longer on that list.
jurakovic··on The RSS feed reader landscape
Here is my "rss reader" https://jurakovic.github.io/dev-links/news/

I wanted to have a list of latest posts of blogs I follow and that I can access it quickly from both PC and mobile phone without any signing in. Then I decided to do it myself like that. There is a github workflow that runs automatically every 6 hours and updates that page.

jurakovic··on Blog Feeds
Here is my feed: https://jurakovic.github.io/dev-links/#blogs

And here is my "rss reader": https://jurakovic.github.io/dev-links/news/ :)

Although I myself don't have a blog, for past few months I think about starting a new one. We'll see.

jurakovic··on Show HN: FFmpeg Pages – because I was tired of fighting FFmpeg
Why build "pages" with so much overhead though? Let alone with so many mistakes (as other pointed them out). It could be simple github readme or even just gist
jurakovic··on Keeping a Changelog at Work (2020)
I have myself started practising this at the beginning of this year when I changed job. I have all my notes in git repo as well as a changelog file. But changelog is more like a timetrack file.

In repo I have also commit.sh script [1] (for which I have also desktop shortcut) and at the end of work day I simply run it and (after a few more confirmations) turn of laptop and go home.

jurakovic··on Show HN: Visual DB – Web front end for your database
I'm not sure if I understand it correctly. Database needs to be exposed over the internet so that this app could connect to it?
jurakovic··on Blitzortung – real time lightning strikes around the world
In fact RANDOM.ORG uses "atmospheric noise, originating from lightning strikes in the planet's atmosphere" as (one of?) seed for generating data

jurakovic··on Back dating Git commits based on file modification dates
I did something similar from backup files for one of my projects. Although I did it mostly manually. It's on GitHub now at https://github.com/jurakovic/Comets-Archive
