shaunkoh··on Yes, you should still learn to code
Yes exactly. I had a specific project in mind, and ChatGPT was able to give me step by step instructions how to build it. It’s like having a private tutor. That’s transformative for folks like me that struggle to get through generic 12 week courses, but want their learning experience scaffolded around a project they’re already motivated to work on.

Not familiar with what happened in Seattle. Are you referring to this?

shaunkoh··on Sweet Home 3D is a free interior design application
I love the app! The interior designer and property agent who saw me using it were pretty blown away.

One thing I struggle with though is making sure that the capture is robust enough before I move on. I usually only really know that something is off when the capture is done already. Can I “touch up” an existing capture by doing another local scan of a problematic area?

shaunkoh··on No, you can’t manufacture that like Apple does (2014)
How much do you think they should be paid instead?
shaunkoh··on For some with ADHD, the low rumble of brown noise quiets the brain
I too love having AirPods in!

Do you clean your earplugs daily? I discovered I had to after a minor ear infection. Wet wipes alone didn’t cut it. Needs wet wipes + hand sanitizer. Don’t forget the case too.

I also made the mistake of putting the AirPods on too quickly after a shower. I was like 90% dry but inpatient. That too can trigger ear infections.

Oh that sounds even more fun. How did you do it? Would love to play around with it!
shaunkoh··on Ask HN: Was Outline.com Taken Offline?
Same here. Is it possible to replicate just the “readability CSS” styles with a JavaScript bookmarklet?
shaunkoh··on Lasting immunity found after recovery from Covid-19
SINGAPORE - The Republic has seen 26 cases of Covid-19 reinfection as Monday (May 10), Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said in a ministerial statement in Parliament on Tuesday.

Such reinfections are known to be possible in both overseas and local cases, he noted, but it is still unclear why they occur.

The minister said investigations are ongoing to determine if reinfections are due to a general waning of immunity levels over time, or a lack of cross-protection, despite a previous infection, against specific variants of the coronavirus that a person is exposed to for the first time.

shaunkoh··on Show HN: A bookmarking tool designed to help synthesize your web research
Looks super nifty! Is there a way to import pinboard bookmarks or Evernote notes?

Why Castle.so over Cloud.app?

Tell me more. Do you think that everyone that does is delusional?
shaunkoh··on The Speaker (Or: why the iPhone's speaker is on the bottom of the phone)
Notice how dcurtis didn't start with "This is how the iPhone is", "This is Android", and "This is why the Android way is wrong".

Instead, he shared a problem that he had with his Android – not that it wasn't like the iPhone, but that it didn't wake him up properly.

The rest of his piece put across a hypothesis that builds upon the problem.

shaunkoh··on Thoughts and Observations Regarding This Week’s iPhone 4S Event
That's because OS X apps don't run full screen by default.

The bigger screen doesn't meant that the app looks bigger – it just means that you can accommodate more things on screen at once.

shaunkoh··on How I Deal with Sexual Discrimination in a Positive Way?
Don't you guys see that she's writing for other women – and anyone else that's encountered some form of ugly discrimination?

She spends most of her post describing what's it like to be on the receiving end, and more importantly, what she's done to deal with it.

Why not play a recording that actually said, "CPU fan failing, call tech support".
