I tried this when I first got a house. The leaves decompose and you end up shoveling a layer of mud off your waking surfaces. It also becomes incredibly slippery when wet. A dense layer of waxy oak leaves can be like walking on ice.
Learn D3 then (assuming you're doing something chart-like as most of us are) move to something like VisX or some non-React equivalent and never look back.

I view D3 and jQuery as being somewhat similar and both are very prone to spaghetti. Something like VisX adds a lot of structure over the D3 you're using to keep things sane.
Yet here you are, talking about their action 6 years later. Maybe it was more impactful than you're giving it credit for?
He didn't prove it doesn't make sense, he proved it's impossible to prove everything.
Even if you never end up using it professionally, I think it's worth it to learn D3. The core point that the library makes is that your projection of the data (say, a 1080p screen, 1920x1080) is always different from the dimensions of the data itself (say, grading from 0-100). At some point you need to decide how to scale the data (0-100) so that it draws correctly according to the projection (1920x1080). You can do the math yourself, or you can use a library like D3 to do the math for you.

Even if you don't draw data on the web, you'll probably eventually draw data somewhere, and you'll be glad to look for an equivalent in that ecosystem.

Show HN: I Made AI CSS Animations
I just released my first SaaS as a 22-year-old CS student. It’s a free AI CSS animation generation service with a paid editor. I built it with Sveltekit, Tailwind, Vercel, and Claude Opus 3.

I developed this tool to address the tedious process of wrestling with CSS animation syntax. I hate writing keyframe animations and I hate the current tools available to build them.

Having developed the UI and functionality over the last two weeks, I am seeking some feedback and testers to help refine it. Really appreciate any and all input here!
Your company isn’t using remote workers correctly. If there’s no way to measure work output besides physically seeing someone work, then there are fatal flaws in how you measure work output in the first place.

Actual quote from the abstract: “ No tryptamines were detected in the basidiospores, and only psilocin was present at 0.47 wt.% in the mycelium.”

It does not differentiate between psilocin and psilocybin, those are two different molecules.
Most programmers don't have enough previous experience proving things so this is unnatural for them. It is sadly impossible to require programmers to have been a math major to get them the mental facility to work with these languages.
Would you say the same for an anti-abortion protest or something similar?

Many people want their protests to be very disruptive but forget they’re not the only ones with grievances.

They’re a lot of people willing to grind society to a halt over any perceived slight, across all ideologies…let us just unleash the craze then.
The website looks very nice. But like you pointed out, what is the advantage of this compared to openAI's future desktop app? Seems like it will do the same thing.
Its a fantastic vim replacement for most people I think. My Vim -> Neovim migration was simply using the new binary with the same vimscript config, I was really impressed.
I've never understood the relationship between F# and F*. I had previously come to the conclusion that F* was merely inspired by F#'s syntax and base-level semantics but that was where the relationship ends. As far as I can tell, F* is not a .NET language and doesn't run on the CLR. Is that correct? In the description it says it compiles to OCaml, which confuses me even more about the F* naming. What is the relationship to or level of interoperability with F#, if there is any?
The chain reaction was still speculative. Also physics is math, but math is not physics.
> First, dont like it? Dont use it. No need to cry over it.

I have to use it. That's the point. The CLI is an important and great piece of technology; I just don't love the way things are, and would prefer to see them improved instead.

> Second, dont like it? Write something better, do show case and maybe people like it and start using it.

This is not how stuff like that works. Terminal interfaces are an ecosystem; there are a lot of different projects attempting new approaches, but there's no shared sense of the existing problems—as proved by your comment. I've written my original comment to make more people aware of those issues, increasing awareness.

> Third, not everyone needs to use 100s of MB of memory to render some idiotic emoji along the text using GPU accelerated routines. Those old legacy stuff is lightweight, it's everywhere so I can run stuff on platforms that problem existed before you were even born.

I didn't argue for that; in fact, I didn't even argue for removing the existing legacy stuff. Maybe try reading the original comment again?
Just because we have a working solution doesn't mean we should stop innovating. There are tons of UX improvements possible beyond rendering emojis, such as proper inter-process message passing via standardised interfaces- just imagine piping from `ls` to any other process, and have that process know that it just got a list of file references, instead of a bunch of characters (Powershell does something similar). Let terminals offer completions like IDEs do. Let them render proper progress bars, without abusing braille characters.
There's so many things people do just because they did them like this since forever, they stop questioning if there isn't a better way.
There are ineffective protests. Like protesting the Russian invasion in a Nato country. What for?

I’m sure there are reasons. But the ones I can think of (tele-support, tele-morale?), well I don’t buy them.

back in the early 1990's i worked for a commercial training company (The Instruction Set) and the first day of our "Programming In C" course normally went something like this:

me: we are using these beat-up terminals

me: we will be using unix (no linux easily available then)

trainees: but we use VMS!

me: and we will be using vi to edit our programs

trainees: wha???

You've already spent a lot of time to raise the fund, unpaid or paid out of proceeds from a previous fund first. Then you have to put in a massive effort to find, sort through and vet investments. Either there are quite a few of you, or you have a nightmare work pressure for several years unless you already have a massive rep (and it's still work).

And most LP's will expect the GP's to have significant skin in the game. E.g. at my previous employer, every staff member was expected to have at a minimum the equivalent of 1x gross yearly salary committed within a few years.

VC salaries are not that great outside the top tier funds or unless you're one of the GP's.

It could be "retirement money" for a handful of the GP's at the top tier funds, but they're only in that position in the first place because they have a lengthy track record, and so their past earnings from carry etc. will still dwarf any operating fee from their current fund.
I seem to have forgotten the part where the US is at war with Russia. Pray tell, what day was it declared? Should I be running for my crazy prepper bunker?

But I'm glad that you mentioned the proxy war that is being fought right now, that's one example of how you can respond to a country's bad behavior without actually starting a war with it. There are many others.
And the other underlying problem implied there is that electric leaf blowers are only viable for household use. They are just so completely impractical for commercial use that no one will ever use them.
I suspect Pulumi is easy to extend because most of the API is basically a state-preserving, idempotent wrapper around existing APIs. When I was messing with it on GCP, their API almost always used the exact same objects the GCP API accepted. I could actually use the GCP docs to create the objects (there are big upsides and downsides to this).
I really want to believe in this but I bet you the study has some major methodological flaws regarding all protests that end up in nothing.

This applies to diseases which are importantly but not always mortal. And very contagious. Like coronavirus

Very contagious diseases which are rarely mortal never go away. Like chicken pox

Not very contagious diseases which are always mortal don't spread far away. Like ebola and maybe the original pest. They require a reservoir lest they vanish forever.

Very contagious and always mortal diseases are self limited, they kill whole populations. One of the downsides of a global community is that almost the whole humanity is one population.

Self sufficient populations are found in the north pole. And in some island east of India called "Sentry island". I hope there are more
Why is that absurd? In most countries, including the US, protests are only allowed under certain conditions. You can’t do things like take over public infrastructure. Such protests are violent, not peaceful, and should be treated as such. I think it’s absurd that some people think that they’re owed an audience for their unpopular ideas. They can use normal discussions and the political system to convince others. But stealing from them (their time and therefore money) is not okay.

Curiously, John Coltrane may have been more of a lyrics person than people are aware of. Several of his instrumental compositions were written to poetry, e.g. his own words to the last part of "A Love Supreme": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kOu61AtFVk or "Alabama" incorporating the cadence of Martin Luther King's eulogy for the victims of the Birmingham, Alabama, church bombing.

MVNOs are definitely often deprioritized, as I experienced with Visible wireless where I'd often have no data access despite having 2-3 bars of service. Switched a year or two ago to US Mobile which is apparently one of the few that is not deprioritized on the Verizon network (bizarrely as long as your phone is 5G capable, even when only using 4G). So there's options out there without paying $70/mo for Verizon postpaid.
I assume this is parody, but just in case it's not: I am not someone who can do something about this, other than what I'm already doing. A schoolchild "going on strike" is not anything. Other than a less educated schoolchild.
Minor nit: A thunderbolt cable is not a USB cable. It's a thunderbolt cable with USB-C connectors on the ends.

This won't work with a USB cable.
Because "literally all the adult population" can't, as you seem to imply, do anything about it?

Protest is not always about immediately having your demands met. It's nearly always part of a longer game. And if you're a 16 year old who has no financial leverage, no job to strike from, no company to make different decisions with, and who won't be able to vote for another 2 years, raising an issue with the people that can doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

Besides, these protests got younger generations' voices into mainstream TV and newspapers. That's more than "appropriate" protest ever did.

> Legacy admissions as an obvious example

Majority of the T10 CS programs have deprecated legacy admissions. Most are public universities.

> These schools can be filtering for a great many things

The de facto bare minimum you need to get into a BSCS at UIUC, UCB, or CMU is a high (3.8+ out for 4) GPA and a high SAT/ACT (1500+ or 34+).

In reality, these are minimums, and most applicants have taken college level CS courses in high school either at your local flagship or community college, taken 6 or more AP classes, and have a fairly robust roster and background in Extracurriculars like sports, non profits, and even a couple founders. One of my peers at my undergrad literally sold his bootstrapped company for $1m while he was in high school and he was from Cincinnati.

The point is, because admissions are so rigorous, you end up with very prepared students who already know the ins and outs of the major and industry they are targeting, and as such are able to hit the road running (getting internships in their freshman summer, participating in research from freshman year, graduating early or accelerating MS admissions).

If I need to take a financial bet on someone (which is what VC and hiring is), I can justify my choice based on the data provided above.

This does NOT mean that life ends at college. I know a lot of T10 grads who did dick (no internships, minimal research) and probably would have been better off going to another school or another program. I also know and am friends with plenty of people who went to non-T10 programs who had an AMAZING career trajectory because of how driven and hard working they were.

That said, your credentials are very important - having a successful academic and professional career will open plenty of doors.

I don't think that's what's been happening. The protestors have been so annoying, blocking amubulances, etc, that they are definitely making their causes look bad. And on video.

Pretty skeptical of a floating "3.5%" figure without any additional context. NYT estimates that 15-26 million people participated in the protests following George Floyd's murder. That breaks the 3.5% threshold, and I don't think we have seen a whole lot of serious police reform in the US since then.

> Would you say the same for an anti-abortion protest or something similar?

Is your point that since I presumably am pro-choice (correct) since this is a more liberal forum I will disagree with this point? Well I don’t. The same principles apply. Those who want to illegalize abortion or whatever have to follow the same principles.
I have not tried the VSCode stuff, but I did try the Emacs thing. Looking at the repo you linked, it looks like the first commit was last year and I left Jet in 2018.

The Emacs mode was fine, I didn't think it was bad, but it was still a tough sell to my team; none of them wanted to install Emacs, they wanted a Visual Studio or JetBrains experience. I'm aware that's an uphill battle, and maybe it would be a different story if the VSCode extension existed in 2018.
They have been a bad idea from the start. Who thought an unbalanced, two-stroke internal combustion engine with a minuscule exhaust (and no muffler!) was a good idea for a tool operating in residential areas.
I think you're correct. The post is 5 years old and data users and mappers (people editing the map) still use it the same: assume WGS84, be aware that sometimes in some regions that might not be 100% accurate. Those needing centimeter accuracy will use government data, for Australia that would be GDA2020 (which replaced GDA94). Car navigation (assuming a human driver) hardly needs meter accuracy. https://www.icsm.gov.au/gda2020
> We’ve got this warped idea that a proper protest is when some people gather in some designated area that the authorities allow them to, and they don’t inconvenience anyone. That’s absurd when you consider what a protest is about.

OK, fine, but you also don't get to decide how other people interpret your actions. You can fuss and bother about how trivial it is to you that someone's commute got delayed by 10 minutes, but if you're pissing off the person you're trying to get your message to, you're still shooting yourself in the foot.

Persuasion is contextual; you don't get to dictate someone else's feelings and you don't get to force them to see things your way.

One of the first things I ever programmed in PHP, of my own creation was a binomial distribution graph png generator.

Pretty sure I had to scale the rectangles I was drawing for the graph according to the dimensions of the png I was making.

It was of course very trivial, and nothing like the amazing things D3 can do. But it was a neat experience, making something of my own for very first time that produced an image on the computer.
> meant universities

Nope. I meant departments. The T10 programs handle CS admissions at the College (Engineering) and Department level.

When you apply for a BS EECS at Cal or BSCS at CMU, it is the CS department (or School of Computer Science) that handles the entire application review process.

Only more traditional LACs (the kinds modeled after Harvard College or Dartmouth College) put all applicants in the same bucket.

I can't remember where I saw them demo this technology before but the impressive thing is the quality and latency of the uncompressed video stream, which is much better than you would get over ethernet.

Still with limitations like 1080p60 and licensed client apps being required, I don't see this as being all that exciting compared to the variety of existing software KVM software already available. It really feels to me like they have the bandwidth to do better than that?
While we're at it, can we get rid of staggered keyboards? We don't need to accommodate mechanical linkages from the bottom rows any longer, yet here we are.

As other commenters have pointed out, once conventions and standards have been adopted, there is almost no way of dislodging them. It's a coordination problem. New standards and approaches usually need to be at least a 10x improvement over the status quo in order to be adopted organically.

The same story applies to all areas of human endeavor.

> Google/Youtube

Just a reminder that Google purchased YouTube in October 2006, about 18 months after it launched. Google already owned YouTube when "Charlie Bit My Finger" went viral in 2007. Google owned YouTube before they launched Chrome, back when they were still the heroes of the internet.

There might be some people who are still nostalgic for a pre-Google YouTube, but for most people the better times that they're remembering were still part of the Google era. The acquisition didn't ruin YouTube, Google ruined YouTube about 10 years later when Google as a whole pivoted for the worse.
Love neovim, great to see more parts already in my config coming to core. Maybe one day most of us won't even bother with plug-ins :)
I switched away from Visible to US Mobile due to deprioritization. I believe they now offer a non-deprioritized plan for $40/mo though, but U.S. mobile is less expensive for a non-deprio plan.
IME it's not like McKinsey and friends are necessarily sending highly qualified people either. So it wouldn't take much to "beat" them on merit. It's frustrating to watch them get paid so much to recommend the thing we already recommended in house, except their version is missing all the hard parts because they never bothered to check whether the required infrastructure exists or can even be legally installed at the project site.
There's a reason most small VC funds have mostly useless infrastructure.

Show HN: Keyword monitoring and notification tool for B2B
Octolens is an AI-powered social listening tool, aimed at B2B software companies and solo builders.

We search the web and social platforms (e.g., Reddit, Linkedin, X, Hacker News...) for keyword mentions that are important to you and notify you via Slack or Email. We also use AI to score posts based on their relevance to your business.

We decided to make our homepage a free version of our tool so people can try it out before buying it if they like it.

For example, you can search for:
- Customer pain points
- Your competitor or your own brand or product
- Relevant industry terms

That way you can participate in the conversation around your brand or industry.

A previous product we worked on had a similar version of this as a feature. Turns out a lot of users just wanted this feature (but better) on its own. So we built Octolens

Let us know what you think and if you have any suggestions for more features! :)
