Hey HN,

Hueflake makes it easy for anyone to build a personalized code editor or terminal theme in minutes using the power of color science.

The crux of the customization is in just 8 knobs (plus some other settings): hue (think “color” like red/green/blue), UI & background colorfulness, code colorfulness, color variety & style, contrast, brightness, and separating different parts of code by brightness/colorfulness.

I built Hueflake because themes and colors are deeply personal, and I can’t say I’ve found one that fits me perfectly. I like the GitHub VS Code theme, but there are still a few things I’d change and creating/modifying themes manually is too time-consuming. We all have different preferences: low/high contrast, light/dark mode, vivid/muted colors, or warm/cool hues. Hueflake makes it easy to craft a theme specifically for your preferences. It also comes with built-in correction for colorblindness, including deuteranomaly, protanomaly, and tritanomaly, with adjustable strength.

Every theme can be exported for 24 editors and terminals, including VS Code and all JetBrains IDEs based on IntelliJ: https://hueflake.dev/#apps. I’ll most likely work on Vim/Neovim support next. Vote for your preferred apps here: https://hueflake.dev/apps/request-new

The dynamic theme engine is the result of my in-depth evaluations of 18 different perceptually-uniform color spaces and color appearance models (two just published this year!) and some techniques that are novel as far I’m aware, combined with a lot of meticulous tweaking.

App support also has a focus on quality. For example, the Terminal.app template is color-managed; most existing themes I found weren’t, leading to distorted colors on modern MacBooks with wide-gamut P3 displays. For supported terminals (kitty and alacritty), some common xterm256 colors are themed so the “pure” shell prompt, diff-so-fancy, and delta-diff follow the theme. More details on the respective app support pages.

My goal is that unlike most universal theme frameworks, every app is a first-class target for Hueflake because it can dynamically generate colors that fit each and every UI element. That way, there’s never a missing color that has to be replaced with a “close enough” one. So when support for a given app is added, that’s one more target that all Hueflake themes are instantly available for, including the entire public theme collection: https://hueflake.dev/themes

Would be happy to get some feedback, positive or negative!
> Also, pensions are essentially socially-sanctioned pyramid schemes. They require ever greater numbers of young people in order to pay out the benefits for old people.

I'm not sure I understand the mechanics behind this point of view.

1. There are always more significantly more people between the ages of 20 and 65 than there are over 65 - the ratio is currently about 5 to 1 in the US. We'd have to see a catastrophic level of depopulation for this to become untrue. Even if everybody stopped having kids tomorrow, it would take 20-30 years before the ratio became unreasonably unbalanced.

2. Social Security is in trouble because the government sees/has seen it as their private slush fund to spend on other things, not because it's inherently unsustainable.

Huckleberry Finn? Anarchist's Cookbook? are we arguing over which books should be banned or that no books should be banned? 'cuz I'm on the "no bans" side, myself. Seems to be the less common position.

I have been having this problem for at least a few months, when obvious spams by human eyes can get into my inbox daily. For example, I have to use gmail filters to remove the car dealership spams.

CUDA was just plain better back in the day, more feature robust, and more features in general. Much simpler to pick up as well, especially at the time with what tools and libraries we were forced to use

NVIDIA also partnered up very quickly with many big players in the game, the sales people went to work, but they had the technological feats to back it up.

After that, it's the network effect.
I wonder when AI music videos get so easy to make that it becomes uncool.
I don’t know of any physicist or CScientist who makes use of parallel universes in their thinking or publications. They may invoke the mystique to impress outsiders though.
> The only way to make things "unbiased" would be to rank the matches randomly

Well, I would rather like to have visibility into the ranking algorithm, and to be able to control the resultset ordering.
I've had a few emails in the last year that were clearly shipping confirmations with tracking numbers etc. that got classified as promotions
Very well written for newcomers. But I also appreciated the clarification in the auth section. I’ve used Laravel for years and the auth had confused me. Bootcamp makes things clearer.
The fight is with the parents vs. educators. They can't stand that parents have ability to choose what books their kids should (or shouldn't) read.
I have a theory that all new rust programmers either become evangelists or haters based on whether they are able to cross the borrow checker barrier or not.
Definitely could do it at least 8-9 months out of the year. The rest of the time snow and ice would make it dangerous or impossible to ride a bike. Thankfully I can get to/from work and local shops without using a freeway, so that makes it easier.
This is revolutionary for a L1 blockchain. And it's green!
"portray same-sex marriage" is a pretty weird way to describe parents existing.
Isn't Die Antwoord in the middle of a scandal right now?

Their adopted child has claimed child abuse. And the lead singer has been accused by multiple women of abuse. Of course they are innocent of a crime until proven guilty of these charges. But it seems to be odd timing to release a new music video.
That's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If I was subjected to torture by a judicial institution for no reason what-so-ever, I would also be traumatized by the events and turn into a conspiracy theorist.
Have you considered ngrok? You can open up a private tunnel from your local environment (local machine, container, device, whatever) to the public internet in seconds. Then you can layer on IP restrictions and even webhook verification to block any traffic not from your provider of choice. It's as simple as:

ngrok http 80 --verify-webhook=slack --verify-webhook-secret=[secret]

with a ton of providers out of the box: https://ngrok.com/docs/cloud-edge#webhook-verification

Also, we recently launched https://webhooks.fyi/ to serve as a community resource to capture patterns & practices around webhook implementations. That's a github pages site so pull requests welcome!

Disclosure: I work at ngrok and helped create webhooks.fyi :)
Your article doesn't say that Alameda County banned Gone with the Wind. Alameda County has multiple school districts within it. Which one are you claiming banned the book, and where is the evidence?
There are a lot of of solutions from permaculture design in which one can “live with nature”. I think a lot of people would be surprised by what is possible. But it still requires a change in the world view and way of life.
> At what stage of the scientific method is inquiry no longer permitted?

Well, this is media reporting rather than scientific inquiry. There certainly are ethical limits to what can be published if it goes against fact or scientific consensus. For a more clearcut example, it's harmful if a publication reports that drinking urine cures cancer. I don't think you'd disagree that this would be hamrful (maybe you do?) but perhaps you differ on whether we have the same confidence about climate change and COVID. Which I suppose ties into your next question.

> Are the authorities 100% right about COVID and climate change?

Not sure what you mean by "authorities", but the current scientific consensus that the Earth is warming due to human activity is so strong, that it's practically comparable with statements like "the Earth goes round the sun". These are the people whose job it is to be objective and sceptical. Not everyone has the time and inclination to read the literature and understand the models ourselves, so we either trust in the science, or we think that the whole of science is caught up in some kind of mass hysteria or conspiracy.

> Have you considered that trying to shut down free inquiry into these things makes many people even more distrustful of what you have to say?

Sure, but I'm not sure I consider one company distancing itself from another to be the same as shutting down free inquiry. And anyway, the question I was considering was "is there an argument that the DailySceptic is harmful". I was simply proposing ways in which it may well be causing a social harm. Balancing that harm against the harm caused by restricting free speech is much trickier.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's against a "Twitch/Amazon code of conduct", but that fact at face value doesn't mean anything nefarious. These could call center employees, qa testers, developers, etc that have no connection to the internal politics of deciding what is allowed on the platform.

If they are in fact the decision makers or able to influence policy, yes that' doesn't seem right.
> Sounds like you're doing it wrong.

Then I have to conclude that a lot of dating advice that one finds is plainly wrong: "show off your best side" is for example an instance of "manipulate the other person to believe that you are of higher value than you actually are (and thus a relationship with you is a better deal than it actually is)".
Putty? You mean iAccess!
I'm not widening it, I'm reframing it within the two-pronged perspective you've yourself provided: The "right to die" and economic inequality. And I'm showing you it doesn't fit within that perspective if only because of cultural considerations. I don't believe any problem of this sort has a countable number of facets. As for it being a "problem", it's semantics and entirely unimportant, call it an issue if you prefer.

I believe the article goes into details about how Canada is euthanizing the poor. You are talking about this from an extremely individualist perspective, individual people forcing other people to die is not the issue we're discussing, we are talking about systemic influences.

Again, euthanasia laws are not about the "freedom to choose to die", it is about defining the boundary between a suicide we seek to prevent and one we seek to assist. Unless you believe all people who wish to die should be assisted.
Opensource has a specific definition and the definition includes:

> The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

So if businesses cannot use it for commerical purpose, that's not open source literally by definition. It is not about what your line of thinking is. Words have meaning and "opensource" has a specific meaning.

If you want to talk about software that must not be used for commercial purpose, there is a specific word for it too and the word is "noncommercial" which is not the same thing as "opensource".

I think everyone already know the way out of this conflict. Putin needs to pull out of Ukraine, or someone else in Russia needs to do it for him. This whole war is about his ego. Unable to win in the first few days as intended, now he's just continuing/escalating it in a futile attempt to save face

Decipad – Like Notion with problem-solving capabilities
I've been working on Decipad. It's a low-code notebook to tell stories with numbers and build interactive models. It's like Notion with spreadsheet-like capabilities. You can build and publish interactive notebooks for things like forecasting, burn rate, a mortgage calculator, or just something fun.

We're testing with early access users. Would be grateful for any feedback if you're interested! Decipad.com
I'm curious, do you mean pay cut as in literally they changed your total comp or pay cut as in the share price of AMZN dropped?
From the article: "PEN America defines a school book ban as any action taken against a book based on its content and as a result of parent or community challenges, administrative decisions, or in response to direct or threatened action by lawmakers or other governmental officials, that leads to a previously accessible book being either completely removed from availability to students, or where access to a book is restricted or diminished."

So I'd say it's more than "parent complaints". The books under discussion are not accessible anymore according to PEN's definition.
> But, FWIW, I actually like Brazil.

You mean the country, not the tool, right?
Explain the difference between Putin's regime and the Russian population.
If it's interpreted as accepting money for some implied services (future or past), then that could be an issue if the law prohibits people under US jurisdiction to provide any services to them.
> Twitch isn't a communication platform, it's an entertainment one

I feel like this is hard to argue in general. Twitch really isn't all that different than live streams on TikTok, YouTube, or Facebook which are general communication platforms where creators can get partner status and share ad revenue.

The thing that ties Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, Cloudflare, Wordpress, Facebook all together is that they're broadcasting corporations available to the public at large. The value prop to their users is the megaphone. How it's accomplished from a tech perspective shouldn't really matter.
I'm not getting as much as the OP, but I'm getting 1-3 obvious spam emails in my inbox a week, whereas it was once a month if ever before.
I feel like banned books act as a litmus test for the broader political and social landscape. If a group were successful in banning works on, say, critical race theory, it might both be a signifier that the broader cultural tolerances are shifting, or if unsuccessful, that there's an eager audience with a clear 'perspective' that can be targetted by politicians.

At the very least, it seems like a punching bag or soap-box for those pushing their own agendas.
Acoustics consultant here. Its too bad there's no mention of using a windscreen on the sound level meter, especially at 2 inch distance. It would make sense if the mesh performed best, while airflow was restricted nearly most if air rushing by the microphone element was contributing to the level measured, and not the noise of the fan itself.
I think the debate is not whether same-sex parents are depicted, but when they openly manifest their sexuality towards each other (like kissing) - some parents object to this.

Why is it that many of the same people complaining about having their speech suppressed online are also pushing to suppress speech in the library? If we must allow all views to be expressed online, regardless of how abhorrent they are, mustn't we also permit all views to be expressed at the library? Online content managers really have no control over how old the consumers of their content are, for all we know, it's kids consuming the racist content online.

At the end of the day, those who fight for "free speech" are really fighting to control which speech is free and which isn't.

Author John Green said it best in a reaction regarding his first novel, Looking for Alaska being targeted for a ban[0]:

> There's this surreality of the organization in question being called "Moms for Liberty" when what they're trying to do is restrict the liberty of other people's kids to read what librarians and teachers deem appropriate for those other people's kids to read

This comment seems uncalled for.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sure there might be some guy going "but, but, it depends on your team! I've never seen this" --but Amazon has a large variety of bitter ex-employees and horror stories.
He wanted the millitary to take over and execute all the Jewish people in the country, whom he blamed for all his problems. Many people are treated poorly by the police and don't start advocating genocide.
Just because they are updating GPUs every year doesnt mean you have to update your GPU every year. Same with cars, smartphones, clothes.. Just because someone else is in different spot of their update cycle doesnt mean everyones cycle should be the same and synchronized

I am still running Catalina 10.15, and haven't seen any ads for Apple services. There is stuff like Apple TV and Apple News pre-installed, but I never open them, and they never send notifications.
The latter. There's an entirely different category for sexual content. If you look at the bar chart, you'll see that these bans are predominantly targeting books that have LGBTQ characters. And books that have non-white characters.
My "don't kill me" money shoots 9mm.
If it's just parental complaint, surely every state would have "banned" books? I find it unlikely that no parent in all of California complained (to who?) about a book.
I've often found I could work around the "write only" mantra using perltidy. I pass other peoples code to perltidy with the flags that match my style, make changes, then pass it back through perltidy to match the author as close as I can. I try to encourage others to do the same.
I want to learn how to build emulators for CHIP-8 and Gameboy and am having the person tug-of-war over assembly, C, or Rust. With hindsight, do you recommend doing them in assembly? And what resources did you use to get started?
Probably fair proofs can be used regardless of the payment method, crypto or fiat.

Why should the community use official channels to rally for support? I am involved in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu there was recently an incident that happened where a notable BJJ figure was shot by another BJJ practitioner after an altercation in a bar. Several people felt that the gym of the shooter should provide a statement. I asked them why? What does it do to have an organization "make a statement".

I feel the same way in this instance, why should a FOSS project in an official capacity rally around maintainers, why can't the people who are part of the project do it individually? In fact the more I think about it the more I like this idea, if an organization can be used to help an individual (or to hurt an individual which is the necessary corollary to that) there will be those that seek to use the organization for personal ends, whereas if the organization is solely focused on it's mission and only that, there will be fewer people seeking to weaponize the organization for their own ends, and the organization will be better of.

For example if Mozilla focused on their freaking web browser I would be happy to donate to them but those at the helm felt that Mozilla need to go outside of their mission to support other causes that I may not be in alignment with, and so I don't donate.

This constant need for everyone to foist responsibility onto organizations needs to end, organizations exist for the purpose the organization exists for, if you want an organization that makes the world a better place in a specific way you think it should be better go and start a non-profit to do it, stop trying to co-opt other avenues to do so. At the end of the day if someone feels that organization X should do something about Y, all they are doing is trying to shirk their personal responsibility while still feeling morally superior.
Lots of comments in this thread talking about how books aren't being banned, just removed from school libraries, or we're just trying to control the sexual content taught to our kids. No, the books aren't banned. You can still find them in bookstores.

One political party is removing access to books. They're doing it in the easiest place they can. They will never come for you because you have money and are an adult.

But this is fascism and the people in the thread who are defending it are cool with fascism. They like it because it hurts people they don't like. They will defend fascism with their lives, and many of the people you work with are these people.
TBF, that was scrapped in 2017. Source: worked there.

There was a clear culture shock for some of the more seasoned Amazonians (and you could see a fall out effect with some "mails to your manager" every now and then if you crossed a Grand Poobah the wrong way), but to all of us "newer" hires, the times of adversarial review were just a story.
What do people think of DevX groups in general? I'm not sold, but in my (only n=1) experience, it'd be best to try to address the cultural problems that led to the perceived need for DevX.

For instance : if build times are really bad, maybe it's because developers don't feel empowered to fix this as part of their day-to-day work.
As someone that's spent a lot of time using AI tools....

I'm sorry but I just don't think you can say a (single) human was fully responsible for this.

I've made some things I consider beautiful, but when you consider the utterly immense breadth of human artistic output that's been subsumed into the model, and the huge amounts of intelligence, inspiration and effort that go into building the software in the first place, the person entering the prompt is just not the biggest part of that.

They enter some words, choose from some output and build from there, maybe with a 'vision', maybe not, DALL-E and other tools will conjure one up for you. You can't try to make out as if they are acting alone in realising it, to put that person on a level with someone who realises their strong vision through a camera or a paintbrush or even photoshop...

Nah.

I made the most beautiful art of my life in 30 second increments over the course of about half an hour while I had to wait for unit test runs to complete.

You can call it art if you like, I'm not gatekeeping that, that's a dead end of a philosophical argument that I'm not going to get into. But the game has changed here, and it's not the same, creation has become ... trivial with these tools. I should know, I get great joy from using them!

I'm going to watch the video here, I'm not sneering at it, but I will view it through the lens of just how simple it is to describe a scene and build it now.
Great work! If you could implement a payment flow where payouts could be made in Crypto, that would be awesome. It is very difficult getting paid for my software, and I’m just a little software developer in Canada.

I don’t understand how you manage to maintain merchant accounts with the credit card vendors. It seems likely that they’ll shut you down, as soon as someone tries to fund a peaceful protest that goes against the elite’s allowed belief matrix (like the Canadian Trucker’s Convoy)?
Man, if I went through all that I would be paranoid as well.
