Show HN: [Upgrade] Time Decimal Converter – A free tool for time calculations

Hacker News - Wed, 04/16/2025 - 4:46am

Hi! I built a free web-based time format converter (https://time-to-decimal.org/) to help developers and professionals with time calculations. After getting feedback from early users, I've just released v1.0.2 with five new conversion tools:

What's new: - Decimal hours to time (HH:MM:SS) converter - Decimal minutes to time converter - Decimal days to time converter - Time to decimal hours converter - Time to decimal minutes converter

Key features: - Clean, minimal UI focused on usability - Batch processing support - Excel export functionality - Detailed explanations and examples - Mobile-friendly design - No tracking, completely free

Tech stack: Vue 3, Nuxt 3, Tailwind CSS

I built this because I kept running into time format conversion needs in various projects, especially when dealing with timesheets and project management tools.

Would love to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvements!

Understanding Some Limits of DeepSeek

Hacker News - Wed, 04/16/2025 - 4:42am

Recently I asked deepseek about how to use javascript to extract and makes computations with moodle in education. I note that the program did not consider two crucial points: 1) It is of utmost importance that the answer and the grade of the answer should be in the same row. 2) Don't modify the answer of the student. In this case the answer are ten letters in response to a test with ten questions. Deepseek used html closest to look for matching elements what is highly insecure, also it did pack answers with less that 10 letters with "a" what is a ridicule measure. This trivial problem reveals that deepseek is not able to consider the importance of the two trivials facts and that you have to introduce those two crucials points to avoid code that can mix students answers and grades. I think this illustrates clearly the current limitations of deepseek and the kind of context you have to give the LLM to avoid it. It seems that deepseek while coding was not alert to the kind of errors that could happen and their consequences. So you, the user of deepseek must provide this LLM with that context, you must think about the most simple program the LLM is about to design and how you must alert it to have special care to avoid failing completely, that is in the most destructive way.

return res.padStart(10, "a");

Show HN: Trumpl.me – A daily game where you guess the real Trump quote

Hacker News - Wed, 04/16/2025 - 4:32am

Hey HN,

Sharing a simple daily web game I made called Trumpl.Me. Inspired by Wordle, it's a daily minigame which shows you 6 quotes, one real Trump quote and four fakes, and the goal is for you to pick the real one.

It's a (very silly) side project which started a maybe 2 months ago after playing around with LLMs and eventually generating fake "Trump-sounding" quotes. I was quite amused to see how well the LLM could capture his distinctive tone, which made telling reality from fiction pretty hard – and the game idea was born.

The game doesn’t require a signup or anything and doesn't collect any info (except for whatever Google Analytics collects).

It's mostly static, with a single API endpoint serving the quotes of the day from a JSON quotes "database" (pre-generated daily sets of quotes). I built everything in Plasmic, a first time for me using a no-code/low-code builder, which was an interesting experience.

It's all just for fun, and NOT meant as a political statement. I do hope that regardless off where you fall ont the political spectrum, you can have fun playing it.

I posted on a couple subreddits, but figured I'd post it here too as I would love to get a bit more feedback, especially anything related to design & UX where I had close to zero experience.

Happy to answer questions if you have any!
