Nano texture display option also got a price increase. Thankfully, AppleCare+ didn't.

I'm not attached to coding either. But if someone else is, and feels the way that is alien to me, I am not gonna be disregarding their feelings either.

Passion is a feeling, and feeling changes.

Honestly your poor assessment is in all ways poorer than his poorly written creation.

Did you even have 2-3 minutes to click around his website and gave a read to his other article "Something that I used to love"?

Your type of disparaging comments give the impression of HN to others what HN totally isn't. I don't know if you wrote your comment esp. for engagement baiting.

If I sub to SuperGrok, would I be able to use it in Pi agent or in Opencode? This is not clear to me if I can. Do I get an API Key in SuperGrok?

Re:Cursor Composer 2 is just Kimi K2.5 with RL on Thursday March 26, 2026 @12:39AM (#47526688)
Could you explain how much improvement RL+fine tuning has given to Composer 2.0 over Kimi K2.5? I don't fully grasp the work Cursor model has done here and why it is difficult to achieve these results with RL.

For the commenters here: do we have something like VimR [1] for OSes other than the Mac that provides a file explorer sidebar with smaller font size (probably sans)?

This assumption breaks if you use macOS. Windows uses (or used to use) Apply button in its settings. Macintosh OSes were reactive from the start. Which means that checkboxes have immediate-ness on Macs.
Re:Fly through your shell history on Friday January 12, 2024 @02:39PM (#38972887)
As a non-Mac user I really want to know why one would prefer Homebrew on Linux.

My assumption is OS package manager would always have more packages compared to Homebrew, and I don't know if Homebrew on Linux even supports GUI packages or not.

Seems like I cannot delete this non-"Show HN" post.

Here's the updated submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35373349

Show HN: Telltail – Universal Clipboard for Text

https://github.com/ajitid/telltail-center

Hi folks!Telltail [1] lets you copy text from one device onto another. If you've used or ever known about Apple's Universal Clipboard, it is quite like that. It uses Tailscale [2] to achieve this.I must tell you that setting it up requires you to have some familiarity with the terminal (which already comes installed on your computer).I've written a blog post on how I came about working on it...

( Read More... | no comments | on HN )
Ever tried gluing Go with either Python or JavaScript? I'm interested in learning what libraries are there to glue them and how complicated and slow they could be.

Re:Command line tools for productive programmers on Thursday July 29, 2021 @10:32AM (#27997014)
I made a slightly different thing:

If you are on

  /home/user/projects/app/src/handlers/
and you want to go to `app/`, you'll do:

  > up src
Or give name of any other child folder/file of `app/`. So if `.git` exists in `app/`,

  > up .git
would work too.

I made it for Fish shell: https://gist.github.com/ajitid/81a4993be410586c038f8b3fc140b...

Re:FZF for JavaScript (Preview) on Saturday July 17, 2021 @03:55PM (#27868313)
Hi, author of the library here. FZF does fuzzy matching and helps you find a string from a list of strings by typing as few characters as possible.

This is a preview release (0.x), so breaking changes and improvement in docs would be introduced. That being said, I would be happy to receive feedback on improving the docs, code or on other things.

Re:API pagination design on Sunday December 27, 2020 @01:13AM (#25549252)
I have question, lets say we have

page 1 elements: A B C D E

page 2 elements: F G H I J

so 5 elements in each page.

Suppose I'm on page 2. If I insert a new element Q and it gets pushed as first then page 1 will have Q A B C D. Now if I go back to page 1, I'll get A B C D E and also a token/pointer to go back one more time only to retrieve Q.

So while cursor solved the issues you mentioned, it still will have this case in which pagination gets broken. I'm interested how we can tackle this.

Re:API pagination design on Sunday December 27, 2020 @01:01AM (#25549210)
> use a more streamable format than JSON

Did you mean we should stream data over WebSocket or use HTTP/2 or do we need to do something different altogether?
