darktable is at least slowly actually getting better... I like what blender managed to do.


check URL list on its wikipedia page.


...whats "on topic" for HN?


On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Or, if you want to be less philosophical: anything that other people would upvote and not flag.


I feel like the cocktail recipes site posted falls closer to on-topic than off-topic then, having only Ingredients and Recipes pages, not even a blog...


Just because you might prefer coffee or soylent doesn't mean some other hackers don't like cocktails. Make yourself some https://entropia.de/Tschunk and relax!


You've missed the point. I enjoy cocktails, and I even think the linked page here is nice, both in cocktail selection and page design, but I don't think it particularly belongs on HN.

Here's an example recipe page that does feel appropriate to me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48408854

I'm not trying to win any wars here, I only provided a possible explanation to someone's question. Culture evolves and that's fine, or maybe the ratio of technical vs non-technical content is actually stable on HN? I really don't know, but to me it feels like the the volume of random content and low-grade comments is increasing. Personally, I don't think that represents the spirit of HN, but my comment was downvoted so either I'm wrong, the culture has shifted, or the mainstream is already the majority here.

I'm a fan of the Caipirinha however, so thanks for the Tschunk recipe.


I see what you mean, and agree that that kind of submission taking a place on front page would indeed be better, but this submission is still original, done-by-hand work, while pancakes guy served out LLM slop...


Python turtle with logo parser and 3D support https://github.com/tkfoss/pylogo3d/tree/main#pylogo3d


Are there physical turtles available? Good for kids to take home an actual plot from their classes.


Yes, either live using python/logo REPL, from a script or from generated svg. Thanks for motivation to wrap it up and publish that part as well


Didn't publish the backend yet but I experimented with DIY plotter based on Drawing Robot by henryarnold and it works fairly well. I m not sure what to do with the layer between plotter backend and different plotters though.

Sheesh, even for this?
