Modern Vintage Gamer if you're into emulation history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqP3ZzWiul0

A curious movie trend with a 30 year interval also: 3D. 50’s, 80’s, 10’s. Though maybe the emergence of VR would render 3D movies obsolete by 2040..

It's an homage. It's easier to argue the "rip-off" case when the movie being stenciled is commercially successful, like when 2 Days in the Valley tried to ride the success of Pulp Fiction. Filmmakers are film nerds and they reference other works constantly, given the freedom (I'm watching Euphoria on HBO and suddenly there's a tracking shot lifted from the 1927 silent film Wings?). I like identifying these homages and connecting the linage of the art form. A few years ago I made an algo for it that doubles as a recommendation engine: https://cinetrii.com/

Thanks, it’s just good old LAMP. Search is AJAX with https://tarekraafat.github.io/autoComplete.js/

I’m no web dev and to understand modern web frameworks and their ecosystems just seems like a tremendous undertaking at this point.

My project 1) is a side project, meaning I can commit as much or as little time as I'd like 2) is something I use myself 3) doesn't cost too much to run.

I think these factors help the survival of a Show HN submission. Been running https://cinetrii.com for years.

Rian Johnson confirmed that in some commentary/interview about Knives Out

I discovered Columbo just a year or so back and I love it. Peter Falk is the big draw, but I also appreciate the relatively low intensity of the show. Scenes are allowed to unfold at a pace that would seem too slow or baggy for today's shows. It's a perfect evening watch to unwind after a long day.

Almost sounds like a giallo movie, like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_with_Laughing_Wind...

https://cinetrii.com (I don't know a thing about web design)

RPG Maker 2000, I made small games when I was 11 or so. It wasn’t programming in the purest sense but you could store variables, make if statements and for loops within a dialog based GUI rather than scripting by hand. Despite being designed for japanese style RPGs there was a considerable amount that could be done within those constraints, like shoot em’ ups and such.

Streamlit doesn't expose async / callback stuff in the API, instead the script is rerun from the start every time the user clicks a checkbox, manipulates a slider etc. This makes it really easy to make apps, but depending on the computations occurring on each render it can get pretty sluggish. There is support to cache to speed things up, e.g. data downloads.

Been using Streamlit at work for over a year. It's great for quickly building internal apps where latency or styling is not a concern (though it is a lot prettier than notebooks).

Same experience. Loved the G4, then it got caught in a boot loop.

I don’t know how representative this is of all dealerships, but This American Life ran an episode on a Long Island dealership struggling to fill the OEM quota of sales for the month. It’s greatly entertaining (and depressing): https://www.thisamericanlife.org/513/129-cars

In firefox you can float youtube videos, I use that frequently to casually watch something while working on something else.

And just to clarify, this was a hobby project alongside studies, not a full-time endeavor..

Thanks, but I doubt anyone would find it useful apart from the curiosity and novelty of it. It's neither optimized from a performance or development perspective and it lacks visual fidelity (my friends kept reminding me that it looked like Minecraft). I have some videos from way back demonstrating how making a scene could look like (everything was done in-engine):

I wanted to make a video game. Over the course of a few years I built my own 3d engine and SDK, using only Java and the OpenGL API. By the time I got to a state where an actual game could be made (sort of a point and click adventure) I fell out of love with games altogether.

If you want to actually make a game, use something like Godot, Unreal or Unity. If you want to do all the ”fun parts” of designing a rendering pipeline, implementing shaders, inventing a scripting language but not actually make anything, roll your own engine..

I would gladly pay a dollar for an article. Two if it's lengthy. I run across articles in I want to read in American and British newspapers that I wouldn't consider subscribing to. As a foreigner the majority of the content is of little interest, so that leaves me with no viable options. I don't think I'm the only one.

Thanks, I will. It’s been my side project for a long time, but I only find time to work on it every so often. This past year saw some major updates, though.

https://cinetrii.com analyses reviews to infer possible inspirations behind a film.

There are a bunch of things that could be improved with the text processing applied here. The wrong movie title is resolved occasionally, like failing to distinguish between an original and a remake, or a book. Sometimes the wrong part of an article is parsed, resulting in wrong connections.

But I think it works overall, for the right type of film with a rich discourse.

My favorite channel since about a year is Foresty Forest (https://www.youtube.com/user/forestyforest). Living vanlife vicariously through his videos, while I wouldn't want to commit to it in real life.

As a fan of mid-century furniture I also enjoy this restoration channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDVK2t-ttSjXHnGejDvVm1g, although I mostly have it on in the background while I do something else.

I listened to the podcast "Wind of Change", which explored the rumor that the CIA had written the hit Scorpions rock ballad as a psy-op to undermine the soviet union. As a non-American, it was quite fascinating to hear about proven past CIA ops like Project Azorian or the Mission: Impossible-inspired face masks. Moral objections aside, it seems like it could be an interesting place to work. You just might not be allowed to put it on your resumé.

+1 for understanding your audience. My side project, an inspiration-based film recommendation engine, has a niche audience but is of little interest to the general public (or HN) or those that only watch Netflix+Disney/Marvel. My traffic comes from arts magazines, twitter and things like apartmenttherapy.com. So you have to seek out communities that may be particularly interested, then maybe the traffic will follow.

Then it's also just luck in getting noticed. I got a significant amount of traffic this fall from the Recomendo newsletter which led to someone reposting it on Reddit with a couple of thousand upvotes.

Future earnings should only be discounted solely with a risk-free rate if the future earnings themselves are certain, i.e. risk-free. But they aren’t, so you have to account for that with a steeper discount. Your $100bn earnings are shrouded in uncertainty, so as an investor you demand compensation for taking that risk, hoping that the earnings will materialize.

1) Hybrid, we’re allowed at the office as much as 50% of days. I reckon having spent 10% of my days at the office.

2) 25 min commute by bike (supplanting 25min metro this year)

3) Very well. The first few weeks was a great relief, an opportunity to get work done without constant disturbances. As the months went on, I started craving a little more social interaction, one day at the office every now and then would do the trick.

4) Pros: gotten much more work done. Cons: poor ergonomics in my small apartment setup.

5) I could use a bigger apartment with room for a proper desk and multiple screen setup.

6) Absolutely

Go on more multi-day fell hikes, 2020 I only had time for two.

Get more involved in the restoration of a local cinema (some timing..)

I like the idea, but what's up with the name? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderline_personality_disorde...
