rfeague··on Show HN: MrScraper – A visual web-scraping tool
I was hoping for something that would allow me to load a page to be scraped, mark the things I'm interested in, and have it help with the selection expressions.
rfeague··on Spf13 is leaving Google
This article made me _really_ curious what manner of awesomeness is going on at Two Sigma, but couldn't figure it out from the website. @spf13, any pointers on where to find a good article on why TS is cool?
rfeague··on Show HN: Lite – A small, fast text editor
Since there are a lot of text editors, I'd like to see more detail on the motivations for yet another one. How does this compare to the current top-five open source editors?
rfeague··on Show HN: A stream of AI-generated art
I think you have an opportunity here --- I found myself wondering how much it would cost to get a nice-quality print on canvas or metal. Something I could hang in my office. They look that good. Are they (or could they be) generated in sufficiently high resolution for a large format print?
rfeague··on How Not to Die (2007)
Seems they got acquired for $12MM about seven years after their last seed round, per CrunchBase. That's perhaps a "soft landing" --- not a "success". The founders probably got something, but maybe not much, since there may have been debt to pay.
rfeague··on Show HN: Instant, Self-Destructing Websites
What password is assigned if you inadvertently click "add password" with the password box still empty? If you click "add password" without first entering a password in the box, the site is locked behind an unknown password. You can't login with an empty password, nor with "password"...
rfeague··on Show HN: Nullboard – Simple, light, locally-stored to-do lists
Bravo! Nice work. I'd love to see a keyboard shortcut for adding a new note that would work from any state.
rfeague··on Everything – Locate files and folders by name instantly on Windows
Not sure what made this suddenly appear here after so many years, but I LOVE this tool, and now that I'm on MacOS, I REALLY wish there was an equivalent. It's mystifying to me why this isn't a built-in OS feature.
rfeague··on Ask HN: Is the new MacBook Pro worth its value for a developer?
Got one with high hopes, but can't stand the way the loud fan spins up seemingly at random. My 4+ year old MacBook is almost never audible.
rfeague··on A story about <input>
Damn, that's some great writing. :)
rfeague··on Matrix Computations on the GPU in Clojure
What are a few good practical examples of the kinds of problems I'd solve with this?
