Show HN: Spoonfy – Intuitive foreign-language listening practice using AIhttps://github.com/athairus/SpoonfyDemoHey HN! Loooong time lurker, first time poster here. I made this project and I'd love to hear what you think about it. There's tons of info in the repo's README, but here's the short version:Spoonfy, an FOSS project, is essentially the so-called Telenovela method (learning languages through subtitled video) on steroids. It presents translated subtitles in a clever way that turns them into something akin to X-Ray vision, helping you make sense of & learn from the foreign-language audio you hear.This video (also linked in the README) demonstrates the effect (Note: It's Despacito so it's slightly NSFW): https://drive.google.com/file/d/12qYKv_yaqGr9GWvHPtE9ng2foJV...I'm looking for help with the project (the demo isn't exactly user-friendly right now) but I'll also gladly accept any feedback. I feel this project has incredible potential: Due to its similarity to how we all learned our first language it could be the first step towards becoming a native --not native-like, but native-- speakeApr 18, 2022 1:51 AM

How Do I get my Co-Founder to Leave?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31061164Hi there,I developed my business myself & spent ~$3k of my own funds. When my website was 95% complete, I got one of my friends, Zake* to create my logos about a month before we went live. We agreed that I’d pay Zake $300 for the logos. Zake changed their mind & said I should rather give them 5% of my business, co-founder title & a “seat at the table”. This was 1.5 years ago & it was their initial offer, I didn’t negotiate with them.We didn’t sign any type of contract at all (bad idea, I know). We verbally agreed that Zake would a) post on social media 5 days a week b) do our SEO c) update the website images once a month, minor things like changing the website banner d) make any misc documents look good (no content just aesthetics) ie our pitch deck e) attend our weekly team meetings. I pay for everything, which I think is fair.On our website Zake is listed as a co-founder, but we have no signed contract/ paperwork whatsoever, their shares are sweat shares & they haven’t invested any mApr 17, 2022 2:41 PM

He started off working for $15 an hour but he charges $60 an hour now and will likely raise his rates again to stop being so busy.Are there any similar technical skills that one could learn quickly and use as a base to enter the technology industry, to make money while looking for a junior job or to gain experience?[1] https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/certifications/financial-modeling-valuation-analyst-fmva-program/Apr 16, 2022 6:39 AM

Ask HN: I'm looking for a specific blog post about game programming, any help?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31036500It's one of my all time favorite posts, but somehow I can't find it. My memory is hazy but if I had to paraphrase I'm pretty sure it started off something like this:Every time I see a game with a changelog like this, I cringe: Peasants who become queens no longer continue to beg for bread Horses no longer stay frozen after entering and exiting the pause menu NPCs no longer attempt to open doors that have been removed Fixed bug where NPCs were unable to see in dark rooms even after lighting a candle. What's happening here is that the game has a huge state, and different parts of the state are being modified all over the place. This means that when extending the state in part A, you need to understand the entire codebase to know every state update that now needs to be changed. What you need to do is centralize all the code that modifies the state into one giant function, and this function should takes an enum describing the thing that triggered the change and modify the state accordinglyApr 15, 2022 3:56 AM
