Re:Ask HN: Do you still write code by yourself?
on Sunday August 30, 2026 @05:12AM (#49497010)
I used to write code with an LLM, but now I'm actively trying to switch to writing it by hand. Why?
The answer is simple: I've noticed that I'm getting dumber at programming.
Re:AI is changing how we code. Is this positive?

But how do you think it does that?
At first glance, it seems like it's just reproducing code that was previously written by people.

Ask HN: How to make a tool like cURL that works with an EDGE connection?
I would really like to hear your thoughts on whether this is even possible, at least in theory. Even if it’s not possible, I’m curious to learn more and find out why. If it is possible, what do I need to take into account? I’m looking forward to links to articles, guides, or documents that will help me understand how to implement this, or an explanation in simple terms.I’d love to hear your...

Is there anything that can be done about this? Please tell me if there’s a way to search and/or browse websites when the internet connection is terrible. Maybe there’s something like lazy loading, or using terminal utilities in Termux for searching—it seems to me that terminal utilities are less demanding when it comes to a “perfect connection” compared to Google Chrome?
Ask HN:Why do websites today refuse to work on EDGE/2G?
I remember that back then (2017–2020), most websites loaded just fine, whether on 3G or EDGE — the only difference was the speed. As of today, even the search engine lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/ (in Google Chrome) barely works when searching on H and 3G mobile networks — not to mention EDGE. When I try to open a website on EDGE, the browser displays the message: DNS_PROBE_STARTED.

I liked your project; I think it has potential. If I have the time, I might try rewriting some parts in C, but since I don't have the testing hardware, I'll submit the changes to you via a fork.

Thank you for your article; I enjoyed the way you explained everything, especially your ability to connect philosophy with neurobiology.

I agree about the freedom aspect. But the "4% Rule" in the form it’s usually presented—that’s just a form of masochism. It’s like starving yourself for three days just to gorge yourself on the fourth. Sure, you might be able to retire early, but you spent your youth grinding away those years.

This is of course great, and very creative, but why not use an HTTP proxy if this TLS is still unprotected?

It’s funny how we all complain about the noise and at the same time we’re all part of generating it.
Maybe that’s just the nature of fast-moving ecosystems.

This is seriously impressive — 6 BIPS by a single developer is insane.
The correctness-first approach and clean architecture really show.
But honestly, at this point, to make it truly useful, you probably just need to write your own OS next
Thanks for sharing this it’s inspiring to see what focused systems work can achieve.

Re:Show HN: LibTTAK- Explicit lifetime-as-data for C systems
on Friday February 06, 2026 @06:32AM (#46911627)
Honestly, in many systems projects it is often simpler and safer to minimize or even avoid malloc entirely: rely more on stack, static buffers, or simple arenas. This usually leads to fewer bugs and more predictable behavior than building complex lifetime systems on top of the heap.
