yayoohooyahoo··on 22-year-old Mozart's handwritten notebook unearthed in 'major discovery'
That's exactly what the article says... so yes apparently that's what it is
yayoohooyahoo··on Show HN: Vet – A tool for safely running remote shell scripts
I guess you stopped reading there and missed that part:

> Yes, we see the irony! We encourage you to inspect our installer first. That's the whole point of vet. You can read the installer's source code install.sh

yayoohooyahoo··on Cottagecore Programmers
Interesting that one of the top comments is so negative. Do you guys not like your job at all? I've done that all my life, I love it, and I still have plenty of time to enjoy life and do other stuff.
yayoohooyahoo··on Hyperspace
Is it not the same as a hard link (which I believe are supported on Mac too)?
yayoohooyahoo··on Is ChatGPT autocomplete bad UX/UI?
> - there is no way to store preferences (such as: don't put comments in code)

There is by using custom instructions in settings.

yayoohooyahoo··on Ask HN: What is your default notes app?
Joplin for permanent retention of information and large notes, and handwritten notebook for daily to-dos.

If anything needs to be done another day I move it to a to-do in Joplin

yayoohooyahoo··on Dependency management fatigue, or why I ditched React for Go+HTMX+Templ
I wish backward compatibility was a thing in js library development but clearly there's nothing fun in keeping things working, so developers break API all the time for no reasons.

I don't how many time I was dealing with a breaking changes for trivial things like making an API prettier, renaming a few functions, a few parameters here and there because it suits the author's aesthetic sensibilities.

They're of course perfectly free to do this and being open source they don't owe anything to anybody, but I still wish that there was some degree of responsibility towards the end user. Or else why even release the code publicly? End users don't care *at all* how pretty the API is, we just want things to work.

yayoohooyahoo··on Electrobun: Cross-platform desktop applications written in TypeScript
Modern apps these days often end up needing to render complex layouts and rich text, so you end up needing QWebview anyway. At least that's been my experience creating desktop apps lately.
yayoohooyahoo··on How we made a Ruby method 200x faster
The title implies they fixed a method in Ruby itself which would have been a lot more interesting than this article.
yayoohooyahoo··on Show HN: HTML-to-Markdown – convert entire websites to Markdown with Golang/CLI
Turndown works quite well too: https://github.com/mixmark-io/turndown
yayoohooyahoo··on Wait Until 8th
The point is that this website is not applicable to anyone, anywhere, since the core message is strictly US-only.

If the authors were aware of this, they may have focused their message on, eg the children's age, which should be more universal.

yayoohooyahoo··on Lingo: A Go micro language framework for building Domain Specific Languages
You'd think they'd do a quick check on the name before committing to it. I remember using Lingo with Macromedia Director, it was a nice little language
yayoohooyahoo··on Sublime Text 4 Build 4180
I quit ST over poor typescript support - did it get any better in recent versions?
yayoohooyahoo··on Show HN: A source-available billing system I've spent 18 months building
I agree it would be great in this situation but currently it only supports Stripe, and they don't mention plans of supporting any other payment platform.
yayoohooyahoo··on Show HN: A source-available billing system I've spent 18 months building
Again maybe I'm missing something but since it's built on top of Stripe, I would expect that it does more than just Stripe. Otherwise I don't see why I would try to install this?
yayoohooyahoo··on Show HN: A source-available billing system I've spent 18 months building
Ok but it integrates with Stripe, right? If you still need Stripe anyway you may as well use their features directly rather than go through an indirection layer?
yayoohooyahoo··on Show HN: A source-available billing system I've spent 18 months building
I'm not sure I understand what this does compared to Stripe? It actually seems like all the features are what Stripe already does.
yayoohooyahoo··on Malloc broke Serenity's JPGLoader, or: how to win the lottery (2021)
Calling this regressing to a dark age might be why some people choose not to care about such things. Her picture is already everywhere anyway and there's nothing offensive or disrespectful about it.
