Re:Apple/macOS silently removed from official Unix registry on Saturday October 10, 2026 @08:26AM (#50032240)
I've been a software engineer for 25 years, doing Linux stuff at startups and big companies (the biggest even). In all my time as a software engineer, I've seen maybe 3 people who didn't use a MacBook Pro for work. Apple makes the bulk of its money from tech companies and schools and they cater very well to both. If it stops being Unix-like, they lose the thing they make the most money from. They are smarter than that.

You don't need to use the LLM integration at all if you choose not to and even without it, it's a lovely service.

I've used the LLM only a few times to make a few sysadmin tasks easier that I could have easily done myself.

exe.dev has quickly become my platform of choice for hosting, testing, playing and tinkering. I haven't had this much fun playing with a providers offerings since VMs were a new thing. You have no idea what you're talking about here and should do a little research on them first. What you are saying they are, is not that.

Having to sign up to browse available MCPs stopped me dead in my tracks and made me close the tab. I won't be the only one. Perhaps consider allowing people to browse more of the site before you try to force a signup on them?

i read this post while AI was busy managing jira tickets for me. Otherwise I wouldn't have had the time to be browsing HN right now

I am just hearing of Masonite through this post, unfortunately (RIP Joe.) Now I am interested in it for a personal project I've been thinking of. Will development continue for this and are all the pieces in place to keep this project alive or will it fade to dust now?
Any planned import options? I would love to import my plantoeat csv into it

No I won't, Android is not a good user experience. I'd rather buy an Apple Watch.
Re:Material Theme has been pulled from VS Code's marketplace on Wednesday February 26, 2025 @12:13PM (#43185702)
I am wondering this too!

EDIT: Did some research and looks like it is different code by different developers, so we should be good.

did you even read the post?
Re:Did too many games release in Q3 of 2024? on Friday October 25, 2024 @04:54PM (#41949653)
Couldn't tell ya. I'm still playing games from 2019. With so many game releases nowadays, I have the patience to wait for a good sale to pick up anything new. The only game I've bought on release in the past few years is Baldurs Gate III
I don't see any channels worth watching though
Re:Ask HN: I want to create IMDB for Open source projects on Monday April 15, 2024 @02:36PM (#40044107)
This was my first thought. With projects like the "awesome lists of..." stuff too, I feel those do a pretty good job of distilling the more popular or in demand projects to browse through. Then you've got places popping up around those, like https://selfh.st/apps/ (which I just discovered via HN a week or two ago)
so who wants to join the wow server I setup this weekend? ;)
