Funnily enough, a few months ago, inspired by They Live (and by a Simpsons episode) I tried to do exactly that as a POC: block real life billboards

Ideally, one would use something like this on an AR headset/smart glasses and block unwanted stuff from their view

I once tried my own L-system generator on lisp! Take a look

Very cool. I must check this out.

I implemented some L-system features in my 3D Common Lisp system: https://github.com/kaveh808/kons-9

This is pretty tight

Hey dang, I was wondering. Do you have any kind of automatization for this type of comments? Or do you manually build the repost list on a selected few posts?

Scroll down to the bottom of HN pages, there's a search box; paste the URL in and it shows previous submissions: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.laputan.org%2Fmud...

At the top of the page you can click "past" which will do a search on the title, or click the hostname to see all other submissions of that site. But I don't think that's what BaraBatman was asking: rather whether dang has automation for performing those searches and constructing a comment from the results.

I build them manually but can do so pretty quickly using HN Search and a browser extension I wrote that does a lot with keyboard shortcuts.

I once did something like this! Forked from someone who did most of the heavy lifting

Love this. How do you do it? Any code online to take a look?

Their docs are actually pretty good! https://ocrmypdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/batch.html

After that, it’s a simple matter of doing Cmd-F in macOS - Finder searches over PDF text :)

Isn't LEET === 1337 pretty standard?

For some reason I used to think that 1337 was LEET upside down.

Bringing up the topic of "leet" actually serves in two capacities: not only is it a prime example of 7=T, but leetspeak's overall orthography [0] is conceptually similar to this "hexwords" site far beyond 7=T.

I love starting up my terminal with one of this every time. I ended up coding a simple python package for it, and adding a simple `obliquestrategies | lolcat` to my `~/.zshrc`

Do you have any internships program?

Yes, interns apply and we do hire them (despite not listing any intern-specific roles).

Hey! I recently started to learn LISP, and was looking for a way to try everything I've been learning, so I created this package (which can be installed with ql [0]) to draw fractals in a typical L-system form. You can see some of the cool fractals created in the examples of the project [1]

Nice job! The output looks really nice.

It was also clever to output to SVG: one of the trickiest for beginning CL can be to get a GL window to work... Is not that is super hard, I just find that it is an common failure vector (there's always something like a library that is missing or something like that).

Could be cool to include instructions to run something like live-server [1] (or some CL alternative) to get instant feedback on a browser window :-)

I did a little web [0] to keep track of the Doomsday Clock history, or at least visualize it better.
