mkranjec··on Ask HN: Got a Mac for running agents? what's your setup?
Mac M1, llama.cpp and pi harness.
mkranjec··on I built a tool to generate Cornell notes from YouTube videos
TIL about Cornell notes, thanks. For someone who is as clueless as I (was): https://www.goodnotes.com/blog/cornell-notes
mkranjec··on Ask HN: Should GitHub downtimes impact considering Golang for a new project?
Something like sonatype nexus could mitigate that
mkranjec··on Ask HN: Do you need Google ads help?
Would be interested in a similar thing, but for Meta ads.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: Is it just me or is Claude Code getting worse?
Can you provide any links to discussion?
mkranjec··on Ask HN: How do you get comfortable with shipping code you haven't reviewed?
Heads up, this is a paid course.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: Looking for headless CMS recommendation
IIRC Strapi is a great option for green field projects. C/p from their docs:

"Strapi applications are not meant to be connected to a pre-existing database, not created by a Strapi application, nor connected to a Strapi v3 database. The Strapi team will not support such attempts. Attempting to connect to an unsupported database may, and most likely will, result in lost data."

Unfortunately, most of the time I do not have such luxury. What are the CMS options for pre-existing databases?

mkranjec··on Interview with the Creator of Deluxe Ski Jump
So many fond memories of DSJ. Thank you Jussi. No other game kept me and my friends playing as much as DSJ.

Fun facts: Since Slovenia is being mentioned, recently Domen Prevc set the world record at 254,5m on the largest ski jump in the world in Planica, Slovenia. His sister Nika Prevc won the World Cup this season with a record difference in front of second place. They're both related to Peter Prevc, yet another ski jumper. The whole Prevc family is amazing. To crown everything Anze Lanisek got 5x20 (highest grade) for his jump also in Planica, Slovenia this season.

mkranjec··on Ask HN: What do you use to create diagrams?
excalidraw as already mentioned above
mkranjec··on Open Source Farming Robot
Yes it is. Water freezes and provides protection from freezing cold as funny as it might sound. Of course watering systems for huge gardens or orchards are expensive even if you have access to enough water.
mkranjec··on How to Preserve Physical Photos
Why would that qualify as 'memory'?
mkranjec··on Ask HN: What's the best way to expose random CSV/.xlsx files for future queries
You can query CSV with DuckDB
mkranjec··on The last Python Architecture you will ever need?
As far as I understand this is Python specific.

Most monorepos I work with do not use a single language but many. It's pointless to use multiple tools for the same thing instead of one that works with all languages, like nx for example.

mkranjec··on Normal Operating Sounds
Some ACs use exactly this method. Haven't found any other household appliances that use sound for diagnostics.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: Name a non-cryptocurrency blockchain project in use in the real world?
Blockchain document transfer
mkranjec··on Ask HN: What Tools for a Distributed Node Application in 2023
Nx for start
mkranjec··on From Python to Elixir Machine Learning
At first I thought what does Nx (nrwl/nx) has to do with machine learning, then I figured context is about Elixir lib named Nx.

Naming things is hard.

mkranjec··on Ask HN: How to generate PDFs from the back end?
ReactPDF (https://react-pdf.org/) if: a) React is an option b) you (can) use nodejs on backend c) PDF preview is required on frontend (optional) d) you need to generate same PDFs on backend (optional)
mkranjec··on Cachix 1.3: Uploads unleashed
Domen, love the work you're doing.

You're more than welcome to share your wisdom about nix and everything related to it at our meetup.

mkranjec··on Ask HN: How have you dealt with socializing in remote working?
Been working remotely (mostly) for the last 5 years. My favourite solution to this problem is joining a local coworking place. I work from my home office by default and when I need some socializing I go to the coworking place. Best of both worlds.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (November 2022)
Applied and we agreed for intro meeting, person on the other side seemed excited to work with me and I was as well. Interesting project, get paid to do open source stuff - what's not to like?

Got ghosted for two times, first time it was a holiday, agreed to reschedule. No harm done. Second time ghosted without any further explanation or apology. There might be a better suiting candidate or something else came in between, completely understandable but there are better ways to handle these kind of things.

TLDR: not meant as a complaint, just as a warning to others. Not everyone is in the same timezone as you are.

mkranjec··on Ask HN: A website that offers RSS feeds for software releases?
n8n or code your own
mkranjec··on Ask HN: Visual website automation options Axiom, Selenium, or other?
Second Playwright. Autogenerated code is a mess, still better than nothing though.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: What do you use as the “internal admin UI”?
In my experience and the projects I worked with too much time is spent for custom backoffice / CMS. Retool is seems like a super power, but it's almost impossible to get buy in for that if some custom solution is already in place. Regardless how much (over) time is spent maintaining that custom solution.
mkranjec··on Python and manually creating the requirements.txt vs. pip freeze
Is using Poetry or pdm, even pip tools linked above not a viable solution?
mkranjec··on Ask HN: Is your mother language any better than English?
Distinction between singular, dual and plural. Only few spoken languages nowadays share that same trait.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: How do you test ideas before building?
Care to explain how would observing that work in practice? There's no ISBN, so you can't track rentals. QR or URL would not give "real" results.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: How do you do Load Testing this 2022?
GoReplay seems worth trying out https://goreplay.org/

Unfortunately, haven't used it beyond demo. Yet.

mkranjec··on Things I’d want to see improved in WordPress core
Care to point out what bothers you in the latest versions of PHP?
mkranjec··on Ask HN: Alternatives to AWS Textract
Have you checked Tesseract or Apache Tika?
