Show HN: A pure-Ruby X11 terminalI use this as my regular xterm replacement... Why? Because I can.It's pure-Ruby down to the font-renderer, and the X11-bindings.(I also run a Ruby WM, a Ruby editor, file manager, and more, so this is just par for the course of my descent into madness)It supports double-width and double-height text, unicode (but double-width characters may currently be rescaled down), layering fonts, special rendering of box-drawing characters (to ensure they seamlessly scale and connect, and has reasonably complete vt-100/vt-102 emulation. The whole thing is available as a Rubygem and comes with an ANSI text backend, so you can run your terminal in your terminal. The bulk was written manually, but the last few days I had Claude write a test harness to shake out a bunch of bugs, and start refactoring and cleaning up the code base (it's still full of warts).
Is there a name for the type of comments agents add where they leak the prompt?This is a stupid example to illustrate what I mean. Say you have this code: def create_background(width: int, height: int) -> Image: ... You tell the agent to use default values for create_background, the same as in create_screen. It changes the code to: # Now create_background params have default values, the same as create_screen in screen.py def create_background(width: int = DEFAULT_WIDTH, height: int = DEFAULT_HEIGHT) -> Image: ... The unnecessary comment is a staple of vibed code, but the tone also annoys me because it leaves behind the prompt. It words comments based on what it was asked to do, not in a timeless manner.I keep telling people in code reviews to remove unnecessary comments, and I feel I lack the vocabulary to express why this is bad.
Show HN: A macOS game with zero asset files – terrain, sound, art all generatedStrataris is a first-person colony-defence shoot-'em-up for macOS — Defender by way of Rescue on Fractalus. But the reason I'm posting it here is the build constraint: there are no asset files at all. No textures, no audio files, no 3-D models, no fonts.Everything is generated in code:- Terrain is fractal-noise (fbm) heightmaps rendered as a GPU triangle mesh, height-banded and slope-shaded, that composites with a hand-built 2-D HUD and gets blit-upscaled nearest-neighbour for the pixelated look. - Ships & buildings are flat-shaded low-poly hulls, a handful of triangles each. - Music & SFX come from a from-scratch synth (square/saw/triangle/noise/rumble voices plus a Karplus-Strong plucked string, with envelopes, overdrive and a limiter). The title theme is an original generative build. - Radio comms are speech rendered offline and band-pass-filtered into a crackly cockpit-radio timbre, with squelch and roger bleeps. - Fonts are a 5×7 bitmap for the HUD plus a Core Text rasteriser.The

Show HN: I made a tactical map-based WWII submarine simulator (public beta)I've seen quite a few simming discussions on HN, so thought some of you might like this - I've created a map-centered, tactical submarine simulator and it's been a blast to make.I grew up playing Silent Service II on Atari ST with my dad, then got into Silent Hunter IV in the 2000s, and most recently have been loving the more recent UBoat. In each case, the part I always enjoy the most is the plotting and charting aspect - essentially beating uncertain estimates with geometry.So I decided to see how far I could get making my own sim that focused nearly entirely on that aspect. You listen on the hydrophone, estimate course and speed, identify ships through the periscope to get the mast height, use a working stadimeter for range estimates, and then try to build a good enough firing solution before getting discovered and hunted by any escorts.Things I'm particularly proud of are the working stadimeter, the dynamic music (Holst Mars stings when your torpedo is nearing a ship), and pretty i

Show HN: CSS primitives for product videos, no render pipelineMost product demo videos are made in screen recorders or tools like Remotion that render frames to MP4. I wanted something different: drop a CSS class on any HTML element and get cinematic motion that's ready for a product video, entirely in the browser. AliveUI Video Blocks is a set of CSS utility classes for common video UI primitives: animated metric cards, toast notifications, typewriter text, kinetic typography, lower thirds, scene backgrounds (aurora, starfield, bokeh), device frames, 3D effects, and particle FX. The interesting technical bit: there's no render pipeline. Animations run as native CSS keyframes. A small runtime (~2KB) handles declarative scene sequencing via data attributes, restarts animations on scene activation via an offsetHeight reflow trick, and drives CSS transition classes between scenes. The tradeoff vs Remotion: you can't do frame-perfect programmatic video or export a standalone MP4 without a headless browser. What you get instead is instant playback, ze

Ask HN: Do You Have a Homelab?I'm Ricard Bejarano, and together with O'Reilly, I'm writing The Homelab Handbook, the definitive guide to homelabbing and self-hosting.To inspire readers, we want the last chapter to be a series of real world homelab examples, to show there's not one prescription for what a homelab is—a homelab is what you make it. As such, we're looking for homelabbers that would like to have their homelabs featured in the book. We're looking for variety, in hardware, software, and scale—from a single Raspberry Pi, to full-height racks in the basement—so don't be shy to share yours.If you'd like to submit yours to be featured in the book, please complete the following form:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScLc16kBFDY3liuEz_a40CF1sYz7yeqPmy1CKVhufHNSzjhIA/viewformForm submission deadline is Apr 12th, 2026. We will reach out to all submitters shortly after that with a response on whether your homelab was selected or not. If we accept yours, you will be asked to share more details so I can write
