Looks like some copy is missing here

No, but it's incredibly convenient? Same way I don't carry a camera because my phone has one

I was a bit confused too initially, but it looks like Chang was asking for the data to be copied _off his iCloud_ by the existing employee on his final day of employment. And then everything after that is just the existing employee asking for help on things Chang had prior knowledge of
Re:GrapheneOS has been ported to Android 17 on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @07:54AM (#48569093)
Does this mean I could install Google wallet? I feel like this would be the only thing really stopping me.
Re:Poll: How often do you check "newest"? on Friday May 29, 2026 @02:39PM (#48327499)
Mine is usually when I fat-finger the logo on mobile and accidentally press it. Then I read 2-3 entries before realising what's happened
Re:Proton Meet on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @03:55PM (#48040905)
I wish Proton would focus on all of the missing features within their existing product suite before creating even more offerings to maintain
Re:Phone is about to stop being yours on Wednesday April 29, 2026 @02:32AM (#47944838)
I agree. I don't like the idea of Android being locked down, but the conversations around this topic are tipping into disingenuous.

Your phone is still yours, you can still install third party apps, and you can still develop apps without a verification. But now there's a one-off hurdle to install them.

Not ideal, but when we think of the people that it's trying to protect, this feels like a reasonable middle ground.

Re:Figma's woes compound with Claude Design on Monday April 20, 2026 @11:24AM (#47835674)
Yeah it's not a great experience on mobile. On desktop it works really well.
Re:Figma's woes compound with Claude Design on Monday April 20, 2026 @08:37AM (#47833400)
It's funny to see all of these dramatic articles coming out about Claude Design, when Google's Stitch[0] has been around for at least 6 months and no one has batted an eye. https://stitch.withgoogle.com/

I'm not sure how much of that is overhyping Claude, or Google's poor marketing of their own products.

Very interesting! It would be great to see some pictures of the IDE in action (maybe some demo videos?) in a prominent place so I can see what I am paying for!

This is really cool! Is the underlying tech tied heavily to Spotify? I'm a YouTube Music user and would love to use a service like this

So simple, but brilliant! Il check this out today.

Do you plan on submitting it to the store?

I find that Antigravity is really good for this. You can comment on the plan documents in-line.

There's a BigQuery public dataset

And it's only getting worse with the waves of vibe-coders.

I actually wrote about this recently after poking around a popular extension that Antigravity users were installing. It's wild what people are doing with your credentials, and you'd have no idea! https://opista.com/posts/blind-trust-in-vs-code-extensions

Show HN: Electron IPC Bridge- Auto-generated type-safety without the boilerplate

https://metacurb.github.io/electron-ipc-bridge/

Hey HN,In 2024 my son was born, and during the long nights of frequent wake-ups, I started (and never finished...) building an Electron app. I very quickly found that the boilerplate required to wire up the main and renderer processes to be very cumbersome, and I'm sure like many others, started to build abstractions around it to make life easier.Having been heavily indoctrinated in the NestJS...

Re:Trunk Based Development on Saturday February 21, 2026 @02:56PM (#47104066)
Our strategy is to squash on merge and ensure the JIRA ticket reference is in the MR title. You have the granularity of the feature which is going to help guide you on the intention. It's also much easier to enforce. People like to write and commit code in their own way.
Re:Trunk Based Development on Saturday February 21, 2026 @02:51PM (#47104017)
Deleting the trunk every two weeks physically hurts to read.

I'm always surprised by how popular SVN still is though. I ported my old Sublime SVN plugin to VS Code years ago for fun, and I still get issues raised today (usually in Chinese, so it seems popular there). If you look at the VS Code marketplace, the top SVN extension has ~1.3m installs.

Bit of a tangent, but it probably wasn't a good idea to release an extension for something I had stopped using long before, particularly when you have to maintain it!

Re:uBlock filter list to hide all YouTube Shorts on Saturday February 14, 2026 @02:23PM (#47017447)
Mine are usually pretty bad. If I ever do see one that I like I catch myself flicking through way too many of them afterwards and I hate that. So I prefer to hide them entirely.

I use YouTube Tweaks which has a lot of different customisation options. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/youtube-tweak...

Not who you replied to, but I would personally prefer them to be opt in. The most recent message was sweet, but it also felt a little intrusive or ad-like. Love the launcher!
Re:Ask HN: Anyone Using a Mac Studio for Local AI/LLM? on Friday February 06, 2026 @02:47AM (#46910192)
What models are you running?
Re: on Wednesday February 04, 2026 @05:32PM (#46892820)
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but why does the introduction of AI mean that you now allow 2000 line PRs?
Re:Proton Spam and the AI Consent Problem on Friday January 23, 2026 @03:42AM (#46730058)
I'm in the same boat. I think part of that is Proton is spread across a huge suite of products and features, whereas Fastmail is specialised in one.

Re:Ask HN: Do you have any evidence that agentic coding works? on Wednesday January 21, 2026 @03:47AM (#46702825)
I think it depends on what you consider structurally sound. I built https://skipthestamp.co.uk/ this weekend. Not only did I not write any code, I did it all from my phone! I'm in the middle of writing a blog post about the process.

This is obviously a _very_ simple website, but in my opinion there's no argument that agentic coding works.

You're in control of the sandbox. If you don't set any rules or guidelines to follow, the LLM will produce code you're not happy with.

As with anything, it's process. If you're building a feature and it has lots of bugs, there's been a misstep. More testing required before moving onto feature 2.

What makes you say "unreviewed code"? Isn't that your job now you're no longer writing it?
