samuba··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
Buried at the end of the article the author linked a library of different art styles applied to the same poster content. Found some new cool art styles to try out in the future. https://john.hartnup.uk/poster-prompts/
samuba··on Facts about throwing good parties
shameless pluck: In my friend circle im the only one throwing real parties. The most annoying thing always was the logistics of keeping track how many people come and what they might bring (cuz usually it's a, bring your favorite food/booze party). group chats are super messy and get taken away by chit chat, so I build a simple, clean product that helps me with all that. it's basically a virtual invitation card with extra features, like comments when people rsvp, image upload for after the party etc. never shared it outside my circles but it's pretty polished. hope this could be of some use for you: https://create.party
samuba··on Can reading make you happier? (2015)
There has actually been studies on that. "Does Reading Literature Make People Happy?" https://www.researchgate.net/publication/334901338_Does_Read...

This study suggests that the reading induced flow state is the main reason for increased happiness.

samuba··on A world to win: WebAssembly for the rest of us
Quoting from Stackoverflow:

- WebAssembly was designed with delivery-over-HTTP and browser-based in mind. For that reason, it supports streaming compilation - i.e. you can start compiling the code while downloading.

- WebAssembly was designed to have rapid compilation times (resulting in web pages that load quickly), this is supported by having very simple validation rules compared to Java / JVM languages.

- WebAssembly was designed with the concept of a 'host' environment, i.e. the browser.

- WebAssembly was designed to be secure and simple, minimising the overall attack surface.

- WebAssembly was designed to support a great many languages (C, C++, Rust, ...), whereas the JVM was initially design for a single language, Java.

samuba··on Show HN: A tool to help you remember shit you are interested in
Nice! Any plans for a feature like sharing a particular tag/list?
samuba··on Show HN: A tool to help you remember shit you are interested in
This looks super useful to me. Trying it out right now. Is there a way to have my own tags/collections I can mark notes with? For example I have books that I want to bookmark because I plan of reading them. And there are books I love and want them in another list. I would also like to share the latter with friends when they ask me if I can recommend a good book on a specific topic. For movies I already use public imdb lists for that.
samuba··on Almond.css: Collection of CSS styles to make simple websites look nicer
I really like working with those class less css frameworks. Very nice for prototyping. Adding tailwind in later works too. A favorite of mine is https://picocss.com/ Here is also an extensive list for more: https://github.com/dbohdan/classless-css
