Yeah this one looks very boted. Not typical HN comments at all

so so dumb. Pure greed. This is going to cause so many issues
We are almost full circle with going back to taxis. They want to cap the number of drivers. Maybe there’s some way to cap it with this thing called a license. Well played everyone!
Re:Ask HN: GitHub employees what's going on? Why? on Tuesday August 18, 2026 @10:53PM (#49356067)
I think Microsoft will add in a daily or monthly commit limit. Gonna have to pay for commits that exceed it. Will stop the commit spam
thats why we have https and certs. VPN is redundant
wow, never thought of root certs being a point of failure
Yeah nearly had a heart attack this morning. Thought keys were leaked for a sec.
Technically no. Work and School dictate when we get up and go to bed. It's all relative. We could create a timezone where 12:00PM is in the morning. We are just used to this idea that morning, afternoon, evening, and night need to correspond to specific time values. For example, China uses just one timezone. So local regions just adapt to what logically makes sense. In a perfect world, local regions would adapt to the amount of daylight we have for each season, like it was before timekeeping and timezones. So school and work would shift when they start based off the rising of the sun. This isn't practical though for multiple reasons. It would cause chaos and confusion for work shifts, scheduling etc.

Would love to see a write yo on nginx!
Not sure why this is got on the front page here. This is a just rant / vent more than anything else.

> I've been pretty honest over the years that I value having an insulin pump, but that I also hate the manufacturers and designers of every pump I've ever used. If you introduced me to any person who has ever designed an insulin pump I've used, I would probably punch them in the face and cuss them out in front of their children.

Hahaha hilarious joke.

> I've lived with diabetes for 27 years and I've been on pumps for 25. I have spent a quarter of a century relying on machines to keep me alive. It has never failed on me before.

Really feel this hatred is uncalled for if this is the first true failure the author has had.

> It's incredible that I've been able to do this, and it's incredible that it never occurred to me to plan for a situation where the entire pump would fucking break.

Lesson learned!

> If I don't write what I've learned here, one of those hideously irritating diabetics who goes on Reddit and argues about everything from the perspective of Perfect, Unerring Care will send me an email criticizing me. Fuck you, if that's you. If you were even thinking of emailing me to criticize me about what I did, I hope you die. Of diabetes.

Gonna send an email after posting this!

> It's very difficult to have a normal attitude about a tech company that keeps you alive, but it's even harder to be normal about it when the tech fucking breaks. Even if we lived in a utopia, with universal healthcare, universal pharmacy medication searches, and helpful customer service reps who send backup pumps directly to my location on the backs of swift eagles... even then, I don't think it's possible to live without resentment for the technology keeping you alive.

I do not understand this attitude at all. So you go like 25 years without your pump failing and this one failure gives you a complete 180 stance on medical tech? Lucky for you there is always the option to go back on pens! 1000 times less points of failure.

I look forward to the future posts on the Dexcom G7. Now that thing is a piece of shit. Especially frustrating when I never had problems with the G6. Dexcom managed to make their product worse and is forcing us all to "upgrade". There's already a class action lawsuit against it. Can't wait to receive my $20 from it in 5 years!

And once again, another prime example that we do not live in a serious country
Re:GitHub Is Down on Monday May 04, 2026 @12:23PM (#48010808)
I'm moving everything to self hosted GitLab CE now. Will just use GitHub as a backup. This is so ridiculous at this point.
definitely the nerdiest one hahaha
Age of Empires is also continuing to receive new DLC. The 2000s will never die

This is a goldmine for the AI scrapers. Not like they haven’t scraped all our sites already, but still…

Re:Jeffgeerling.com has been Migrated to Hugo on Sunday January 04, 2026 @11:13AM (#46489332)
I've been using Hugo for the past 3 years. Biggest lesson I learned is to just fork the theme you're using and don't use submodules. There's no rush in keeping your theme up to date. Also you have complete control over the theme when its forked. I've only had stuff break on occasion when updating to a newer version of Hugo, had to change a couple things with the theme which did not take too long to fix. Curious to see how comments will be implemented though. Does not sound straightforward to add to a SSG.
Yes, I am thinking this is mostly just a coincidence.
I'm thinking we probably need to get more organized and start picking up the pace with this. There are rumors, which of course I am not sure how credible, but word is that the Dash will be discontinued soon. Maybe we can add another channel to the Zulip to try to get things moving.
Can’t help but laugh a bit. Not a great day for Ubisoft. Hopefully this didn’t ruin the holidays for too many employees. That would absolutely suck to get a call in for this.
Anyway to follow the progress? I attended the Nightscout conference and asked around regarding this but no one really knew of any group to follow. Or really knew of the latest developments on this effort.
No it's true. Companies like Insulet and Dexcom could send out lawsuits to all the open source projects out there that involved REing. Dexcom's glucose share API was REed years ago, and Dexcom hasn't even tried updating or stopping the use of unofficial APIs. All I'm saying is that the companies really don't care at all.
Oh well. The whole thing has already been reverse engineered. Look up Loop or Trio or OpenAPS. Diabetic companies like Insulet have been very lax when it’s come to the hacking of their devices. This isn’t really that big a deal. What we need right now is help REing the Omnipod 5
