woile··on DigiKey's Tariff Resources
Trump is going the peronism route Argentina took. Where protectionism was implemented for the sake of... Making the people in power richer.

You cannot just tariff if your industry is not there, people end up paying higher prices.

Next thing you'll hear is that America is producing but actually they will be assembling (for this you'll need to get along well with China). Crazy that Milei and Trump get along well mainly because of their social policies, but economic policies are so different. The US needs only two allies, Mexico and Canada, the only countries it has borders with, and instead Trump is just creating hate there.

woile··on Ask HN: What is the best method for turning a scanned book as a PDF into text?
What about preserving the style like titles and subtitles?
woile··on Nix – Death by a Thousand Cuts
I've been using nix in a Mac for a year now. Recently I got a new Lenovo machine and first thing I did was install nixos, it's actually much better than I was expecting. You do notice that nix is designed around nixos
woile··on What every systems programmer should know about concurrency (2020) [pdf]
Thanks, yes, I ended up doing the same!
woile··on What every systems programmer should know about concurrency (2020) [pdf]
Yes you can, but it's not the best format to read on, and a PDF with 2 columns is kind of even harder to read.

Is there a maybe ebook friendly version? I'd love to read this in the kindle

woile··on I Stopped Using Kubernetes. Our DevOps Team Is Happier Than Ever
I have traefik as part of the docker-compose file. Installing nginx on the host seems less reproducible, though it could fix my problem. I guess I would choose something as caddy (I'm not that happy with traefik)
woile··on I Stopped Using Kubernetes. Our DevOps Team Is Happier Than Ever
What else is out there? I'm running docker swarm and it's extremely hard to make it work with ipv6. I'm running my software on a 1GB RAM cloud instance and I pay 4EUR/month, and k8s requires at least 1GB of RAM.

As of now, it seems like my only alternative is to run k8s on a 2GB of RAM system, so I'm considering moving to Hetzner just to run k3s or k0s.

woile··on Thinking about recipe formats more than anyone should
awesome! let me know if you build something, I'd love to see more tooling around recipe-lang
woile··on Thinking about recipe formats more than anyone should
The way ingredients and other things are described. I felt that explaining that a single word ingredient, requires @ only, but if you use multiple words, you have to use @ingredient with space{}, with the empty `{}` at the end can be too complicated to explain.

I felt that for someone who is not familiar with these things, it can be confusing. In recipe-lang the explanation is IMO simpler: wrap the ingredient with `{}`, there are no ambiguities. {salt} or {ingredient with space}, it's quite clear where the ingredient starts and end.

Once they learn that, everything else is a prefix of the curly braces, timer? t{}, link to another recipe? @{}, material? &{}. I'm considering for images something like i{} but I haven't had time to experiment with it.

woile··on Thinking about recipe formats more than anyone should
Nice, I have also created a language for recipe based on cook-lang (I didn't use cook-lang because I was not convinced by the syntax). The language is called recipe-lang[0] and it powers https://www.reciperium.com

Check it out, I've open sourced as well a syntax highlight for vscode, a cli for the terminal, a tutorial and a playground, and the wasm modules.

I use the language for more than food recipes, see: https://www.reciperium.com/woile/garlic-tea-for-plants

woile··on U.S. Sets Targets to Triple Nuclear Energy Capacity by 2050
Who said snap your fingers? we are talking about investment. The US already has enough oil to last until all cars are replaced if that's your worry. The real problem is allowing oil companies to grow even further, putting the public's health and climate at even more risk. The logical (even liberal if you think on $$ terms) choice is to invest in renewable.
woile··on U.S. Sets Targets to Triple Nuclear Energy Capacity by 2050
what do you mean by near term solution? aren't solar and wind the cheapest form of electricity? It doesn't make sense to focus on gas anymore, unless they are trying to extract as much money as possible before it's over.
woile··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (October 2024)
Thanks!! Hopefully it can live beyond reciperium!
woile··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (October 2024)
Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciated.

Regarding the comments, I'd really like to implement activitypub on reciperium. To add the ability to follow users and comment on recipes. And to be able to comment and follow from the fediverse. It's a good opportunity for me to explore the protocol.

What do you mean by combining ingredients? You can currently link to other recipes. So if you make a sauce, that can be a recipe on its own, and it can be linked from another recipe. See this for example: https://www.reciperium.com/rodriguezflors/roti

> My gut feeling, for attracting users, would be to just optimize the recipes to be found by people via search engines

That's a good idea, I'm optimizing a bit the search engine now. I've been also thinking of writing a blog

woile··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (October 2024)
I'm still working on https://reciperium.com where people can write recipes with a custom language and create forks of other recipes and modify them.

I'm currently working on supporting images on the recipes.

I'm proud of having launched on producthunt and now trying to figure out how to attract more users

woile··on Ceres: An ocean world in the asteroid belt
Reading the article pulls me back to the expanse. What a great show. I recall the authors wrote an article expressing how wrong they were to predict that Ceres had no water [0].

woile··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
haha I've thought about it. You are making me reconsider it, I thought the current icon would reflect the idea better.
woile··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
I do have a recipe language already, see the spec:

https://github.com/reciperium/recipe-lang/blob/main/spec.md

The main problem is how I allocate my personal time to add this feature. Is quite some work, and prioritizing people leaving, instead of some other features, doesn't seem good use of my time. I barely have users, and they are all my friends haha

woile··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
Thanks for the feedback! Those features are in my roadmap, but I go at a slow rate next to my work. You'll probably see the timer before the unit conversion, as it's actually a hard problem. Did you know there's a US cup and a british cup (actually a few more)?? The problem may involve tracking the origin of the recipe if no lang is provided, or setting some defaults.

On the backup side, the easiest thing I'm introducing soon, is a "raw" button, where you can see the recipe raw, and you can download the `.recp` file. In the future, I'd like to have:

- Export all recipes and favorites

- And in case I give up with the platform: an obsidian integration, or a some kind of desktop app.

So just to be clear, I do want to have an escape hatch, even if the website doesn't succeed, I will still use the language. But, it's not my main priority at the moment.

Regarding the pricing model, I just don't see myself charging for a subscription. I've been thinking how to create a sustainable product. So far, what I have is a potential affiliate program. I want to use the recipe's materials to link to products. I think this is relative nonintrusive, and it's actually useful, because I've found myself reading a recipe and not knowing what something was, like a proofing basket, for example.

Let me know your thoughts.

woile··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
Thanks! Github has been a source of inspiration, I want to keep the UI as noiseless as possible, unlike most recipes websites
woile··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
I'm working on https://reciperium.com I've added a tutorial on https://learn.reciperium.com and a playground https://play.reciperium.com and I have around 4 active users (including myself, the most active and the target for this platform haha).

In a nutshell, reciperium is the center of all my recipes, I was tired of finding recipes on different channels (youtube, reddit, instagram, google, friends, etc), and not having a place to put them. On top of that, I can fork my friend's recipes to adjust them to my taste.

woile··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
I'm working on https://reciperium.com which is a website to host recipes, with the twist that uses a specialised language for recipes, and you can fork recipes from other users and adapt them to your liking.
woile··on Making your own hot sauce
I've also started preparing my own fermented hot sauce, you can find it here:

It's delicious, I just recently started experimenting with fermentation
