I loved the GPU puzzles, after completing all of them, I wished there were more. Learnt a bunch in process.


I was trying out an MCP tool and hit few issues, even though there is MCP inspector which sets up a webserver etc. I wanted much simpler tool I can use in SSH environment, so I built (with Claude Code) a terminal tool to proxy any stdio MCP server and then use the monitor TUI to see all the flow of calls between MCP client and server. Its been helpful to learn thing about MCP as you see the flow of calls happening and inspect them.

I love Kobo for that. I hooked UART with a Variometer (measure rate of climb in aircraft) and use it in glider soaring as a flight computer (good contrast on sunny day)

I think Aider (https://aider.chat/) is what you are looking for.


Thanks, that's definitely directionally correct. (And if it turns out to not be quite what I'm looking for, it's probably enough to find alternatives.)


Yes, definitely faster now but crappier.


If I wanted to change it, add something after I generate does it mean I have to pay another $20 or does it allow multiple generations after buying? I tried finding the answer in FAQ but couldn't.

BTW, the PDF do look sleek.


There's currently no way to edit your pdf after purchasing. However if you want any adjustments, just reply to the email with your planner attached, and I'm happy to make modifications and re-send. I've gotten a lot of great customer feedback and ideas this way!


Got the same issue


Canada,ditto.


Restarted my phone thinking something wrong with it. Then changed to Cloudflare DNS instead of PiHole thinking it maybe pihole issue. Because when does HN ever go down :D


I feel you: I recently migrated my network setup to a VM based solution and it has been a bit volatile the first week; especially while I tweaked it or learned some details. But it worked well for the last week, and all of a sudden HN doesn't work... Pihole? Ipv6 or ipv4? Random libvirt iptables? Opnsense unhappy? Thank God for isitdownorjustme!


Shameless plug.

I have been building a blog using Next.js (for static content) with Pluto (for interactive and richer content, inspired from MIT Intro to Computation Thinking).

I think it's a great combination of richness and expressive content which brings the user along with the interactiveness.

Example post: https://zabirauf.dev/blog/notebooks/understanding_std

Source code: https://github.com/zabirauf/blog

P.S: Still dealing with some bugs in deploying PlutoSliderServer so interactivity is broken.


Great idea. I was honestly pretty disappointed by how hard it was to put a blog post I wrote in Pluto onto my static website. I still really think Pluto needs a way to generate static markdown similar to jupyter and maybe create a button to "edit or run this notebook" as an image with a link to some javascript magic with the actual notebook embedded. I ended up having to use iframes which felt far from ideal[1] since the html output is a jumbled mess[2].

Thats great! How did you start with finding consulting projects and building street cred? Has writing blogs bring you more business yet?


The million-dollar question: how do you find clients?

Honestly, the first one approached me via HackerNews. The rest have been from my network.

Blogging has yet to bring me more business, because my name and brand have not reached the mind-share yet to rely solely on that. But I'm working on it!

I also realize that this is a long-term play, it will likely take me 3+ years before my name is reputable enough to be the reason someone hires me from all the places they've seen my name.
