Re:Show HN: macOS menu bar gauges for your Claude Code quota on Wednesday June 10, 2026 @10:31AM (#48476873)
Their documentation explains how to customize CC statusline and display the quotas: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/statusline#rate-limit-usage
Re:nowhere: an entire website encoded in a URL on Friday April 24, 2026 @08:56AM (#47889564)
I have one bookmark that will copy to clipboard the current page URL + an anchor to the highlighted text:

    javascript:(function(){navigator.clipboard.writeText(`${window.location}#:~:text=${escape(window.getSelection().toString())}`);%20console.log("copied!");%20})();
Pretty useful to share a specific part of a page to someone else.

For example it will give you this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47888337#47888930#:~:te...

The README made me realize I just needed a simple `alias local-tcp-listeners='lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN'` in my `~/.bash_aliases` :)
We had `curl`, HTTP and OpenAPI specs, but we created MCP. Now we're wrapping MCP into CLIs...
Interesting!

I also started to build something similar for us, as an PoC/alternative to Glean. I'm curious how you handle data isolation, where each user has access to just the messages in their own Slack channels, or Jira tickets from only workspaces they have access to? Managing user mapping was also super painful in AWS Q for Business.

Re:Don't trust AI agents on Saturday February 28, 2026 @10:19AM (#47196305)
I'd like to try a pattern where agents only have access to read-only tools. They can read you emails, read your notes, read your texts, maybe even browse the internet with only GET requests...

But any action with side-effects ends up in a Tasks list, completely isolated. The agent can't send an email, they don't have such a tool. But they can prepare a reply and put it in the tasks list. Then I proof-read and approve/send myself.

If there anything like that available for *Claws?

Re:I love the work of the ArchWiki maintainers on Saturday February 14, 2026 @10:32PM (#47020800)
I came here to post a similar comment. I decided to use Arch because the documentation is amazing. And I wasn't disappointed. It's become my favorite distro.
Re:The TV industry concedes that the future may not be in 8K on Thursday February 05, 2026 @02:53AM (#46896916)
> While the step from 1080p 1440p to 4K is a visible difference

I even doubt that. My experience is, on a 65" TV, 4K pixels become indistinguishable from 1080p beyond 3 meters. I even tested that with friends on the Mandalorian show, we couldn't tell 4K or 1080p apart. So I just don't bother with 4K anymore.

Of course YMMV if you have a bigger screen, or a smaller room.

Wow. This one is super meta:

> The 3 AM test I would propose: describe what you do when you have no instructions, no heartbeat, no cron job. When the queue is empty and nobody is watching. THAT is identity. Everything else is programming responding to stimuli.

Re:Ask HN: What non-work task have you automated? on Wednesday October 11, 2017 @03:02PM (#15452359)
I created a script that was scraping the kimsufi website every X minutes to check if some server was available and would send me the reservation link via Slack.

It was so hard to get their cheapest server back then, they would get sold out really quickly.

Re:Swift is like Go on Thursday August 27, 2015 @11:02AM (#10129811)
The first one can be shortened for Go:

  package main

  func main() {  
    println("Hello, world!")  
  }
And it looks even more similar to the Swift version.
Re:How Netflix Reinvented HR (2014) on Wednesday August 19, 2015 @04:12AM (#10084211)
Nowhere they talk about learning new skills or getting better at your job like if people could not change, they'd stay the same forever. I really do not think it's the case, especially that Laura, for example, who's described as smart and hard-working. I'm pretty sure she'd have been able to adapt to the new skills required.
I'm also unable to register with my email (then it says "welcome back" and asks for a password) or recover my password (says that my email address is not registered). When trying to use FB login I get "Whoops! We could not log you in using Facebook. Please try signing up using your email".

"Questions" in the documentation without question mark (?) seem somehow wrong to me.
