So true. beads[0] is such a mess. Keeps breaking often with each release. Can't understand how people can rely on it for their day-to-day work.

API only user or Max x20 along with extra usage? If it's the latter, how are the limits treating you?

Re:Gemini 3 Flash: frontier intelligence built for speed on Thursday December 18, 2025 @08:18AM (#46312274)
Been thinking of having Opus generate plans and then having Gemini 3 Flash execute. Might be better than using Haiku for the same.

Anyone tried something similar already?

From their response headers, it seems like the request is coming from NGINX directly. How do they defend themselves against DOS attacks?

I haven’t used Cursor since I use Neovim and it’s hard to move out.

The auto-complete suggestions from FIM models (either open source or even something Gemini Flash) punch far above their weight. That combined with CC/Codex has been a good setup for me.

Re:CachyOS: Fast and Customizable Linux Distribution on Sunday November 30, 2025 @10:45AM (#46097548)
That used to be the case a few years ago as well, when Wayland/sway was still considered experimental.

I had tried Manjaro i3, and XFCE’s i3 variant but at the end it was actually more convenient to install the KDE version and then install i3 on top.

Re:GPT-5-Codex on Tuesday September 16, 2025 @07:11AM (#45260667)
True. In my experience, it has been good to use for second opinions and code reviews. Usually in CC/Codex via an MCP like zen.

Ah then is there any material on the new hybrid system that you mentioned? TIA.

> another factor to consider is that if you have a typical Prometheus `/metrics` endpoint that gets scraped every N seconds, there's a period in between the "final" scrape and the actual process exit where any recorded metrics won't get propagated. this may give you a false impression about whether there are any errors occurring during the shutdown sequence.

Have you come across any convenient solution for this? If my scrape interval is 15 seconds, I don't exactly have 30 seconds to record two scrapes.

This behavior has sort of been the reason why our services still use statsd since the push-based model doesn't see this problem.

Is "v2" based on their paper around Monarch?
The whole subreddit is moderated poorly. I’ve seen plenty of users post on r/LocalLlama about how something negative or constructive they said on the Cursor sub was just removed.

It also seems like all integrations that use Slack webhooks are working. But the ones which are like a dedicated app are failing with the same `fatal_error` message.
Re:Ladybird browser spreads its wings on Friday June 21, 2024 @07:07AM (#40748266)
As in Mozilla stopped developing officially? Because I have seen active development on GitHub and monthly updates on their blog.

Ikr. They're up to some questionable decisions since long.

- Acquire companies like Pocket, Anonym in multi-million dollar deals and also the millions in bonuses that the CEO likes to enjoy.

- At the same time, no significant expenditure towards developing its core software. Firefox is still ridden with bugs. They even went as far as firing the people that used to work on Servo, Rust, WASM, etc.

I think it's clear to them that there's not enough money to be made with small tricks like Pocket, VPN, Relay, etc. Firefox is still the only profitable product and contributes ~90% to Mozilla's revenue. Much of it coming from Google which is the one thing that people have been asking them to be less dependent on.

And we shouldn't be surprised if they double down on making more money off of Google and also introduce ads. Acquiring Anonym, an ads company, implies that it might have already started.

When is the Firefox version going live? Would love to try it out.

Re:Why I Program in Erlang on Tuesday November 01, 2022 @09:38PM (#33430441)
> After programming in elixir/erlang for ~8 years

Are Elixir and Erlang very similar? Do they belong to the same family?

Hyperweb[1] does something similar and I prefer their UX.

The new Arc Browser[2] also has something similar implemented as a boost[3] (boost are short snippet-like extensions).

Just goes to show how less reliable Google Search is becoming because of ads and bot results. Platforms like reddit (I append 50% of my searches with "reddit") bring a more human touch. Totally agree with Paul's thoughts on reddit[4].

Re:Clement Lefebvre: The Man Behind Linux Mint (2013) on Saturday May 28, 2022 @06:21AM (#31539104)
Distros do not exist because people want different Linux images to run their containers on top of.

> Also 90% of the pain in (traditional) distros seem to be the UI stuff (Window Manager, drivers, audio, etc).

For a second I thought you're completely missing the point but then you say this lol.

Re:Show HN: Warp, a Rust-based terminal on Wednesday April 06, 2022 @11:54AM (#30933633)
Is it just me or this seems to be an overengineered product? I mean hear me out,

- Workflows - Ever heard of scripts?

- Block editing - That is just vi mode inside bash/zsh.

- Terminal sharing has existed since so long.

- Forming commands - We got tldr for that.

- Fast and GPU accelerated - Open source terminal emulators have cracked that already. See alacritty and kitty for instance.

And on top of all this, when you factor in VC money, I don't see how this product can truly beat its alternatives.
