torunar··on Ask HN: What's your terminal and shell setup?
xfce4-terminal + bash. The only tweak for the terminal is a custom light theme, the only tweak for the shell is a custom PS1 to show current git branch and time.
torunar··on Ask HN: What difftools and mergetools do you use on Mac?
vimdiff, same as on Linux and Windows.
torunar··on Night Vision App – Give Your iPhone Night Vision Capability
Based on the reviews, existing users didn’t really appreciate a switch to the subscription-based model.
torunar··on Ask HN: What macOS apps/programs do you not recommend? And why
Chess, Books and other preinstalled apps that you can’t remove for this exact reason.
torunar··on Ask HN: What is the best way to author blogs in 2024?
Whatever way you choose, don’t forget to include an RSS feed for your blog.
torunar··on Vinyl-on-demand service will press anything you want
The article says 50€, but the site says 99€. Am I missing something?
torunar··on Show HN: Submit Hacker News
What is the use case for it? What kind of activity implies automatic announcements on HN?
torunar··on Ask HN: Feedback on my life expectancy tracking startup
Short answer: no, I would never subscribe to something like this.

Long answer: I would never trust my health or lifestyle data to a non-government organisation, and I would never pay for unreliable information based on guestimations.

torunar··on Apple says no to PC emulators on iOS
Wonder what they have to say about iSH Shell [1], it’s a full fledged VM with Alpine Linux running on iOS/iPadOS.

torunar··on Ask HN: Any recipe sites that start with the recipe?
Posted here on HackerNews some time ago: https://based.cooking.
torunar··on Ask HN: Do we have an App for Hacker News?
We have, actually! It’s called “web browser” and there is a high chance you already have it on your device.
torunar··on Firefox and uBlock origin results in infinite YouTube ads
I tried both Firefox and Chrome/Edge under Windows 10 running on my MacBook Pro from 2019 — they have this issue. FreeTube doesn’t and I’m happy!

torunar··on Firefox and uBlock origin results in infinite YouTube ads
I’d also would like to add that in my case FreeTube has lower resource impact than YouTube in a browser. When I was watching YouTube videos in a browser, my CPU fan was running constantly which is not the case with FreeTube: the fan never starts when I use the app.
torunar··on PHP Built-in Server: How to stop URL rewrites to index.php?
1) If I understood your question correctly, you might want to use a router script for such cases: https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver... (see Example #3).

2) For the love of god, don’t use built-in server for production cases. It’s mentioned multiple times in the documentation for a reason.

torunar··on Ask HN: What software doesn't have a sidebar nowadays?
> Google is one

YouTube, GMail, Google Maps, Google Drive, Google Cloud Services: are we a joke to you?

torunar··on Jira Cloud bug prevents users from typing in text fields
When it comes to Jira, I’m not sure developers are in control at all. It’s a beast with its own will, and it devours itself.
torunar··on About iPads and Developers
Ah, the good ol’ Apple experience: “The way you want to use the device you own is wrong and should feel bad about it”. Never gets old!
torunar··on Ask HN: What software sparks joy when using?
WinAmp and MPC-HC are still my go-to zero-bullshit solutions for playing video and music. Inkscape and Dia manage to amaze me even after 15 years of working with them.

Ada (is programming language a software?) is my most recent discovery and I haven't experienced such pure joy of working with a programming language in, like, 10 years.

torunar··on Ask HN: What software sparks joy when using?
+1 for WinAmp (version 2.9 specifically). Runs without issues on every single Windows OS I've been using through my life (98, XP, 7, 8, 10), supports obscure file formats through plugins, has everything that's needed for music player and no blot whatsoever.
torunar··on Show HN: A Hacker News reader with good design
It takes 17 times longer to load, how in the world is it good?
torunar··on Ask HN: Why don't we use two mice at once?
It’s possible to use multiple mice simultaneously in Linux using xinput: https://github.com/torunar/double-mouse.sh/blob/main/double-...
torunar··on Why AI has a Python problem
AI does not have a Python problem. It has a YouTube problem, as apparently everyone does videos instead of text nowadays.
torunar··on An app that creates music notations from an audio recording
You can try Sonic Visualier [1] with Chordino plugin from the Vamp Plugin Pack [2]. It won't give you a full notation, but it can estimate chords from the audio recording.

torunar··on ISO 3103: international standard for brewing tea
Water temperature is completely wrong, but hey, at least it doesn’t include milk, extra points for that.
torunar··on Show HN: A quick tool I wrote to time commands
Is there any personal story behind this tool? I'm curious why one would write their own version of widely available `time` utility.
torunar··on Would you like to automate PR reviews using an AI assistant?
Sharing knowledge and helping other people grow (through code review as well) IS “more important, and creative work”. So no, I’d like to keep it as human as possible and wouldn’t want to touch AI with a ten-foot pole for this purpose.
torunar··on Show HN: React Spreadsheet 2
Oh yes, I’m one of those users (and who are “those”? Lizard people?). At least once a week I need to operate datasets that have hundreds of thousands of rows, and while accessing them is not a problem, batch computations can be tricky.
torunar··on Show HN: React Spreadsheet 2
Is it able to handle tables with 1,000,000+ rows?
torunar··on Roast my landing page (reader.place)
The page makes 50+ network requests when opened. It takes 10+ seconds to fully load on a regular 3G connection.
