I was curious so I studied them briefly. Please take it with a grain of salt.
ShellGPT offers a lot of flexibility with outputs(comments, code snippets, and documentation besides shell commands), operating modes (chat mode or REPL), model choice (supports locally hosted models like LocalAI), and custom roles. Clipea, on the other hand, is a simple tool for generating shell commands and has zsh shell integration.
They essentially perform the same task, but the choice depends on your needs.

Not sure how impressive a draw is, but I did a 32-32 for my first play through. Thanks for teaching me a new game!

The Bring Your Own Role is a good option to try.

Thanks for sharing. Very helpful!
simondebbarma | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Figma just got bought by Adobe – is Sketch cool again?
As long as Figma and Figjam are priced as is, I'll be using it.
I also use Lunacy[0] and Penpot[1].
Lunacy is a cross-platform alternative and works natively with Sketch files. It's free and I love it!
Penpot is an open-source alternative and runs in the browser like Figma.

frontendmasters[0] is really good for guided video tutorials and classes. They don't only focus on frontend but teach everything so the title is a little misleading.

An exclamation at the end would fix this, but yeah, I'm of the opinion that censoring the 'How' didn't distract from the article until I saw this thread.
simondebbarma | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Good things about Windows 11
I've been using the new Terminal ever since it was first announced. It was fine before I upgraded to Windows 11 from 10.
simondebbarma | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Good things about Windows 11
I’ve had a not so great experience and could use some advice. I opted to install WSL using the command line but there was a problem, so I removed it and reinstalled the app titled simply ‘Ubuntu’ from the Microsoft Store but the problem still persists.
The problem is whenever I run any command in WSL, the progress bar/status stalls or never updates itself. Installing a new language, non package, Ubuntu stuff, whatever, doesn’t seem to work on first try. Once I ‘Ctrl+C’ and re-enter the command, it works flawlessly.

Besides that, I think Windows 11 has been great so far! I like it.
simondebbarma | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: How many computers you got?
Desktop - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 || GTX 1600 || Dual Boot Linux + Windows
Laptop - LG Gram 14
Phones - iPhone 13 Mini || Nokia 5.1
Tablets - iPad 10.2 || Kindle 7th Gen
VR - Oculus Quest 2
IoT - Raspberry Pi 4
Console - Nintendo Switch
3D Printer - Ender 3
These are computers I use regularly that are personal, so 10 in total. If you count devices that other family members own or those that are unusable, the total quickly doubles.

Yes, I don't think we should upvote this as I'm quite positive this is OP simply attempting to increase their karma.
simondebbarma | 3 years ago | on: What happened to Evernote? Where to go next?
I simply did `git init` inside my Obsidian vault(folder) and store it on my Github; which is a more familiar option for most HN users.
simondebbarma | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Best SaaS Boilerplate?
I've used Jumpstart Rails and I recommend it. It's made by Chris Oliver from GoRails. It has a ton of features built in like auth, payments, I18n, notifications, user impersonation, and more.
Disclaimer: It is a paid software, and I am not affiliated with Jumpstart or GoRails.
simondebbarma | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you meet other remote developers?
I found this server called - Multiprocess Community[0] posted on Hacker News in January(?). A lot of HN users joined that server so the vibe is similar to HN, compared to a random tech server.
simondebbarma | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: How to explain that ML approach is not 100% perfect?
This is a very good visual introduction to Machine Learning created by the team at R2D3 and helps even non-tech people understand how ML works and that training a model is balancing bias and variance error rates. Part 1[0] goes over what decision trees are, and Part 2[1] goes over Bias-Variance Tradeoff.
