This is an odd comment on "Hacker" news. There's a joy to be had in making things like this, even though there are better alternatives and it's often a weird thing to do in the first place. I often do not post the things I create here and elsewhere because I dread this kind of feedback. What do you hope OP takes away from your post?

I have noticed something similar. I feel like I have done that so many times for XML files. Perhaps it is re-establishing the settings when any kind of update gets installed.

There were a number of Motorola-inspired ideas that made their way to Dilbert while I was working there in the late 90s.


Hah I love things like this, where the compiler leaks out.


This is true, also for people immersed in this world. Sometimes the dark mode of a site is ass, and it's better to set a preference for that site to use light mode to make it more usable.


No, but the whole article felt definitively AI-generated.


the entire site feels ai-generated


Always good to have a weed puller in your toolshed. A stand-up puller, specifically, that operates as a lever, allowing it to first grab deeply and then through a rotation of the handle it pulls out quite a bit of the root system. A lifesaver if you have a rain garden which is really just a synonym for weed garden.


the link is to a dandelion root system that goes 450 centimeters into the ground, or 4.5 meters / 5 yards.

we'd like to know how much of that weed would your weed puller pull if your weed puller pulled a full pull?


I would not actually like to know that, since such a device seems impossible


Any recommendations for a particular weed puller?


I've never used a bad one, although I wouldn't class any of them as anything stellar. All of them have looked like a snake's twisted tongue.

Using them depends on the delicate combination and application of brute force and technique. If your technique and brute force is up to spec, a crowbar works as a makeshift weed puller.



This CobraHead weeder has worked well for me

It's kinda gimmicky but I found this thing on clearance at a local hardware store and it works fairly well (gets most weeds out without me having to bend over, which is nice): https://grampasweeder.com/collections/grampas-gardenware/pro...

It doesn't get everything but I can do more work on the tough ones when so many come right out.


My Fiskars Xact makes me look like a pensioner but it works really well: https://www.fiskars.com/en-gb/gardening/products/weeding-too...

Not that it gets to the bottom of my dandelions ofc, but it sure feels like it does!!


Yeah, this. Each project I work on has it's own markdown file named for the ticket or the project. Committed on the branch, and I have claude rewrite it with the "current understanding" periodically. After compacting, I have it re-read the MD file and we get started again. Quite nice.


Claude Code is the superior interface in my opinion. Definitely start there.


There's a ton of reasons why that may happen. One of which being that someone may not have known about it and wanted to share.


Yes, this is exactly why I posted it. I'm learning Kotlin but thought others would find it useful.


Thank you. I wondered if there was something new. Enjoy your Kotlin journey!


Thank you, I appreciate it. :)
