That makes sense when one is used to the Visual Studio organization of solutions and projects, with some main method somewhere being the entry point, unless it's a WCF service or somesuch that gets run via a service manager.

I only used F# at its command line, fsi.exe, to give me commandline access to .NET for exploration, testing, and munging data. Over time, I built up quite a library of usable functions that I'd have the fsi.exe program pre-load when I kicked it off, leaving me at the prompt with all .NET namespaces and my code ready and accessible.

Once you get access to your database's data, it's easy to write queries against it and then play with the data. I could then port the F# processing bits that worked into my C# projects as necessary, but it was far easier to do it that way than to write the logic deep within complex multi-project solution files, where the various classes are spread throughout the projects' files.

I also just really enjoyed using F#.

I've used unattend.xml to put C:\Users on a hard drive, leaving the rest on a SSD, so I don't need to think about what files go where. Documentation specifically warns against doing it that way, but I ran Windows 7 and 10 that way for over 12 years with precisely 0 issues with it.

Now I run Linux with / on a hard drive and /usr on SSD.

The shortcut strip came in the box! And it was all based on F1-F12 and modifier keys alt/ctrl/shift. It was a complete pain to learn, but once you knew a few key ones (F10 was save?), it was very fast to work with. I wasn't very old, but I remember having the same kind of muscle memory then with WP5.0/5.1 that I do now with vim. Autosave wasn't a thing, so hitting F10 often was just done out of habit.

But, by far the best part was that you could reveal all of the formatting codes, so you could see exactly how something was styled. It was much like editing HTML by hand, and easier to figure out how something was styled than with almost any WYSIWYG.

Since the posted article doesn’t say, I wanted to know the climate where Glubux lives and the loads he has on the system. I guess I can find more about Glubux from the secondlifestorage.com site.

Losing Reveal Codes was the worst part of Microsoft forcing Word down everyone's throat. Word positively sucks in comparison to this day. No, the little "paragraph" icon isn't enough. Reveal Codes showed you in granular form what was going on so you could fix what was borked, instead of ping-ponging back and forth in AutoComplete hell.

And it wasn't just on the DOS version. WordPerfect for Windows has/had it too along with the modern WYSIWYG UI.

你说得对，你首先需要学中文。Otherwise you'll have a tough time out here.

But once you've got the language to a decent place, it's pretty nice. I'm hesitant to express how much I like it here, though… I look at what's happening with all the foreigners causing trouble in Japan, and really hope that the "scary" reputation of China helps keep those types of people from descending like locusts here too. Some secrets are better left kept…

I think this is an excellent question and one people should be asking themselves frequently. I often get the impression that commenters have not considered this.

For example, whenever someone on the internet makes a claim about "most x", e.g. most people this, most developers that. What does anyone actually know about "most" anything? I think the answer "pretty much nothing".
Show HN: Rezon8AI – AI-Powered Reputation Management for Service Businesses
by dgcrawley | 2025-04-01 21:48:03+00:00
Hi HN,

I’ve just launched Rezon8AI, an AI-powered reputation management platform built specifically for small and medium-sized service businesses—like local trades, clinics, agencies, gyms, and growing franchises.

In a world where one bad review can scare off potential customers, service businesses struggle to keep up. Juggling Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, Trustpilot, Facebook, and more—with no dedicated marketing team—is overwhelming.

Rezon8AI helps take that weight off.

What it does:

- AI-Powered Feedback Funnel: Trained on your business and your specific service offerings, our system intelligently routes happy customers to public review sites and captures unhappy feedback privately—before it goes public.

- Customer Sentiment Insights: Quickly spot trends in customer satisfaction and areas for improvement, without reading every comment.

- Automated Review Requests: Send via email, SMS, or display a QR code at point-of-service—simple, unobtrusive, and effective.

- Easy Setup: Designed for non-tech users. No coding. Runs from any web-capable device.

Why I built it: Most tools passively monitor reviews. That’s too late. I built Rezon8AI to help businesses proactively shape their reputation—while keeping control over how feedback is handled and showcased.

I've launched it with a free trial and would love feedback from the HN community—especially around UX, messaging, integrations, and roadmap ideas.

Thanks, Grant - "the Rezon8AI team" (30+ years solving SME challenges through tech and automation)

There's plenty of AI tools that spit out React Native (or random cross-platform stuff) when I actually want real SwiftUI.

So I’m building iSwift.dev, an AI tool that generates proper SwiftUI code for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and macOS.

It neatly organizes your .swift files, and lets you export the whole project to Xcode. Just open it and it's ready.

More features planned, I’d love to hear any thoughts or feature ideas you have that would be actually helpful for your workflow. Thanks!

I had this conversation before. I point out how your interpretation is insane and doesn't follow logical reasoning, and you accuse me of gaslighting. I don't want to waste anyone else's time. We could just paste to an AI our both initial statements and ask who is more correct, but I'm sure you would either say AIs (all of them or 99% of them) are wrong, or you would interpret them saying I'm more correct, as you being right.

I have no problems being wrong on the Internet. Unfortunately, for some magical reason, in the overwhelming majority of my conversations, I either recognize it within a minute (or one reply when in writing), or never.

The function keys were no more difficult to use than any other key shortcut. However since keyboards had that space they put the chart there and so could find the less commonly used commands. Everyone quickly learned which key was save, but there were many many others that they didn't use and so they didn't know - but if they wanted it they could look at the chart and find it.

GUIs are more discoverable (when done well), but DOS didn't really have a GUI option, so this was a second best. VI and emacs users sometimes print shortcut charts as well.

Accounting politicians for crimes is not a problem as long as the judicial system is sufficiently independent from the executive. It is my impression that the French justice system is more independent and better protected against the executive branch than the US justice system, but I admit that I'm not an expert on comparing the two systems and could be wrong. It's really just a hunch aggregated from what I've heard over the years.

What you shoot up is much more important than how you shoot it up.

We shot up the most powerful space telescope, capturing a third of the entire sky in never seen before detail [0].

We're also currently busy deploying our starlink alternative that works via regular 5G instead of specialized terminals. [1]

Being the cheapest Space Truckers isn't of much interest to us. We're more interested in making sure the stuff we put up there is cool.

> not overwhelming folks with too much theory out of the gate.

Thing is, it's not even "too much theory". It really is just a simple tone-semitone pattern and a few bare facts about how the usual guitar tuning works, that you'd know anyway if you've ever had to tune your guitar by hand. That's all it takes to make the guitar explainable from first principles. Then sure, you can practice the "patterns" all you want for convenience's sake, but you don't have to commit anything to memory that you could not figure out again from scratch if needed.

WordPerfect shipped with printed templates/overlays and a wonderful printed manual.

There weren’t any standard key combinations yet…except maybe Wordstar?… because word processors still had very very low adoption and many many users spent all day in WordPerfect so there was a lot of muscle memory.

Back then software was optimized for expertise not casual use…and priced accordingly. WordPerfect was about four hundred 1980’s dollars a seat, not 99p in an app store.

The best April Fools jokes are the ones that are fairly easy to see through by intelligent people; but that gullible people tend to fall for.

Unfortunately, there is so much crazy stuff on social media and even on major media outlets' sites, that you are sure must be a joke or a conspiracy theory; but turn out to be true.

It has taken the novelty out of having just one day a year where the gloves can come off.

>The annual salary of a US Senator is $174,000... you think that is poverty?

You are proving my point. This cherry pick data point always comes up. One of the highest most powerful government jobs which there are a small fixed number of in existence, pays what is barely average for a mid career professional.

The overwhelming majority (state,city,county,federal) of elected positions pays closer to under <$45k a year (it might be less but thats close enough for discussion).Also remember there are far more non federal elected jobs out there. At these rates why would anyone with a logical brain go into politics unless they fully intend to manipulate the system to their own ends? Climbing the ladder till they reach something like senator where they can really stuff their pockets?

It is not that they didn't know the calculus. You seem to suggest that writing altogether is economically unviable, so the author should not have chosen to do that at all.

The issue is that certain talents are not recognized at all, and if you like reading, then buy the books outright, pre-order it, ask your library to get it. Basically, an effort to reward those who show up and contribute to a profession as noble as writing.

The next benchmark would be to create a full AI student, that without any background in a topic could learn from a combination of textbook and lectures, and then pass the assessments.

Of course there's an issue with how hard it would be to find a topic that AIs trained on the internet aren't already familiar with. So we'd need AIs to do research and create course materials for newly discovered science.

To get this working well, we'd need significant scale and would need to implement AIs acting as the university admins, AIs making decisions on grant allocation and AIs running peer-reviewed journals.

Eventually, applying similar approaches to other fields, we might entirely automate away humanity.

Try suggesting that and watch the reaction. Its actually shocking how aggressively against decent pay people are for government officials. It makes no sense to me.

I'm even more shocked by how often people will state that people should do government work as a service to their community. Of course they themselves won't do it because they don't have time with their job and all, someone else should do it....
by bgnn | 2025-04-01 21:52:49+00:00
Hmm that is interesting. Can you elaborate what is exactly different between them?

I'm asking because I think a firmware has to directly talk to hardware through lower HAL (hardware abstraction layer), while customer facing parts should be fairly isolated in the upper HAL. Some companies like to add direct HW acces to customer interface via more complex functions (often a recipe made out of lower HAL functions), which I always disliked. I prefer to isolate lower level functions and memory space from the user.

In any case, both Nvidia and AMD should have very similar FW capabilities. I don't know what I'm missing here.

I replied to the other poster about this, but I absolutely do not think kids inherently understand the risks inherent in social media. As one stupid example, earlier this school year we had to talk with the parents of another XC team member who posted a team photo to the team instagram with thumbs downs covering the faces of our son and another athlete. If that sort of thing was private, fine. I don't particularly care about the vapid beefs between teens (although we did get the details and, knowing the other kid, I side firmly with my son), but the other athlete posted it publicly, with no context, and on an account that looks like it's run by the school.

That's just a silly example that doesn't even get into the posting of risky behaviors, using inappropriate language, bullying or whatever else. I do not believe kids grok all this innately and it's important for parents (and teachers and coaches and other adult influences in their lives) to educate them.

We also spot check our kids' phones periodically. Not because we don't trust them, but because it's important to know sometimes whether there are issues afoot that we aren't privy to and could help with. (Disappearing messages is another parental challenge with Snap.). This might sound overbearing and intrusive, but I don't believe it is. Our 16yo has mostly graduated from us feeling a need to check his comms, but we still monitor our 14yo a couple times a week because she's less forthcoming about goings on in her friend group.

Fwiw, it's not like we don't trust our kids to make good decisions themselves. We have added both as authorized users to one of our credit cards, which they have access to via Google Wallet. In all things like this, clear communications and expectation setting between parents & children is the most important, no matter what you decide -- or whether your decisions change over time (or are dependent on the child's own behavior/decisions).

Democrats can't win on immigration. Even if they presented a plan to uncharacteristically reduce legal immigration, and somehow deport every single illegal immigrant and secure every border, they would still pledge humanity (due process, humane treatment, etc). The conservative version will always appear more effective because they pledge brutal tenacity with a sneer. People are desperate for the improvement they believe would occur (regardless of whether that's true), and not enough of them would have faith in a careful, measured version of the solution.

Eisenhower defeated Rommel, my friend, with Patton's brilliant help, dragging a limping Monty along by the hair. He was nearly sacked for insubordination.

The Germans only feared one Allied General, and it wasn't Monty (it was Patton).

If fact, Patton being relieved of command for slapping his soldier allowed him to serve as the uber-decoy in Great Britain to distract the Germans from being ready for a Normandy landing. God works in mysterious ways, indeed.

The Germans thought Patton's sacking for slapping a soldier was a ruse; that's how much esteem they had for him.

Sure. If you just want the shadcn button by itself, it will generate this html: <button class="{tailwindcss classes}" />.

And it has a dependency on some common tailwindcss classes that will get injected into your bundle.

Most shadcn components depend on tailwindcss classes, and how the whole shtick works is that tailwindcss only includes in your bundle the classes that your components use across your app. Which is kind of a clever integration for a ui component 'package manager' for reducing bundle size.

But most importantly, consider that OP's demo has very minimal CSS because they aren't using a CSS framework, and that has nothing to do with their Nue framework. It's not like their Nue framework comes with an optimized answer to tailwindcss/shadcn; you have to bring your own solution.

So if you use tailwindcss/shadcn with React, you'd certainly use it with Nue.

What Nue should do instead is add libraries to either side necessary to reach parity with the other side. Nue has built-in routing, so it would be fair to add react-router-dom to the React side. And they wouldn't have 100 people calling them out for the dumb benchmark.

The problem is the hardware not the software, and specifically not CUDA. Triton for example writes PTX directly (a level below CUDA). Trying to copy Nvidia hardware exactly means you will always be a generation behind, so they are forced to try and guess what different direction to take that will be useful.

So far those guesses haven't worked out (not surprising as they have no specific ML expertise and are not partnered with any frontier lab), and no amount of papering over with software will help.

That said I'm hopeful the rise of reasoning models can help, no one wants to bet the farm on their untested clusters but buying some chips for inference is much safer.

It’s unfortunate they have deprecated it. We how have DXVK which implements D3D11, including compute shaders, for any platform which supports Vulkan. Making that (or a conceptually similar) thing work across platforms is no longer prohibitively expensive.

I believe that approach, i.e. the compute shaders, is the correct thing to do because modern videogames use them a lot, the runtime support is stable and performant now. No need for special HPC-only drivers or runtime components.

> I mean was it really unauthorized access (they called it “hacking” of course) if his user account literally had permission to map network drives?

It may not pass as hacking, but it certainly was unauthorized. Network policy in software should reflect reality, but the source of authority comes from humans. Your friend literally was not authorized to access teachers' files, regardless of poor software configuration permitting the capability.

First responders have awesome tools. But in tough situations, even common folks need to help.

After what happened in Myanmar, we need something like this that works properly.

It has only been tested in controlled environments. It can also be improved; I know BLE is not _that_ effective under rubble.

AI agents are more likely to replace associates at these firms than software devs lol.

AI agents can't do sql queries a lot of the time, but they sure can autofill the remainder of most excel sheets (and AI agents can't really autocomplete sql queries yet for some reason lol).

Yes, I use claude to code sometimes, but I use claude much more as an assistant to brainstorm tasks and mindmap than actually doing software engineering because vibe coding builds brittle projects. Whereas one-off decks are a perfect use case

Now replacing people that require a license or some other sort of credentials like lawyers, doctors or accountants... That is much harder.
