levi0214··on Show HN: Building a 42-inch E-Ink frame for generative art
This is cool!
levi0214··on It's okay to make something nobody wants
extremely cool, especially the moon clock, never thought GPS could be put into a clock
levi0214··on It's okay to make something nobody wants
yeah it's intentional

At first the title was "make something you want", it's true and correct. but I felt it can not express what I truly felt at all. Current version is more close, though it's technically not correct.

Like when I build things, I'll tell myself: It's okay to make something nobody wants.

I'm a developer, not a designer, but I also find your work very interesting!

Every time a new design tool came out I need to learn that shit, and my drawing was always uglier than real designers. If I could do this by describing, I'd love to do it.

Usually they are mediocre chefs. Actually I don't believe that a chef who doesn't like what he's cooking can make it right, and almost every awesome chef I know demand more from the quality of their dishes than their customers.

Hi, I'm the author.

Originally I didn't want to post it here because I hardly ever post anything on HN and guess no one would read it.

But the feelings were strong and I really wanted to tell people what I was feeling.

After I posted it on HN that day, it sunk quickly, and sure enough no one read it, so I didn't go back to HN to check on it.

Until this evening, when I got a text from a stranger saying thank you for the post. I was surprised and opened HN to find it was at the top.

Thank you all for reading it.

In a way I put this article into practice, I put my emotions in my product (article) and you extracted from it.

levi0214··on Pornhub Now Accepting Crypto Only
In brief

* Mastercard and Visa cut off Pornhub, declining payments from customers who wanted to subscribe to its premium adult entertainment.

* The move came in response to a searing New York Times story that showed instances of children engaged in sex and women being assaulted in videos on the site.

* Pornhub changed its policies to clamp down on abuse, and today said it was accepting crypto only as its default payment.

levi0214··on Ruby 3.0 Preview 1
Completely unnecessary syntax.

It does nothing but add complexity.

levi0214··on Ruby 3.0 Preview 1
Totally agree.Different approaches to the same thing won't add points to the language.

P.S. the 'endless method definition' is meaningless, too.

> def square(x) = x * x

The original reason of this proposal was:

> Ruby syntax is full of “end”s. I’m paranoid that the ends end Ruby. I hope Ruby is endless. --mame (Yusuke Endoh)

It sounds like "let's add a new syntax for lisp because it has too many brackets"

levi0214··on Teach Yourself Computer Science
I finished two courses on the list. All I feel is: I wish I had watch/read this earlier.

I thinks I had much more fun from these courses after I have done many real projects in these years.

Maybe you get bored because it's little bit easy and basic for you.

levi0214··on Verizon to Sell Tumblr to Automattic
Yeah, I was thinking exactly the same question.

This also raises other questions:

What is the difference between Pornhub and a pornographic Tumblr? What is the essential demand behind the demand for a pornographic Tubmlr?

A very interesting phenomenon is that since Tumblr announced the ban on adult content, many bloggers have turned to Twitter instead of Pornhub.

Why didn't Pornhub acquire Tumblr?

Could you give us more information about this, since Pornhub once said they wanted to acquire Tumblr.
