What it does

Looking for a Dock locker for Mac? DockLockr is a native macOS menu-bar app that freezes your Dock so it can't be resized, rearranged, or moved between displays by accident. One-time purchase, free 3-day trial.

DockLockr is a tiny menu-bar app that freezes your macOS Dock exactly how you like it — no accidental drags, resizes, or rogue icons. Flip a switch to unlock whenever you want. Each lock is an independent toggle. Use one, use all three — your Dock, your rules. No setup, no menus to dig through. Three steps and you're locked in. Grab the signed, notarized .dmg and drag DockLockr to Applications. It lives quietly in your menu bar as a small lock icon. Open the menu and toggle Lock Items, Lock Size, and Pin to Screen — individually, in any combination you want. Launch at login keeps your locks in place day to day. Quit anytime and DockLockr unlocks the Dock cleanly behindfrom docklockr.com

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes&#x2F;sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
