Re:Bringing uv and ty together on Saturday October 24, 2026 @10:44PM (#50227782)
having a language be reliant on external typing for even the most popular libraries feels so passè and backwards even though it's clearly the way things are evolving with typescript and python
Re:The Brain Sandwich on Sunday October 18, 2026 @03:57PM (#50144818)
in the post, the brain sandwich gets explained as "brain, ai, brain" but sandwich experts note that a sandwich is usually named after its contents and not the bread

my cope: yaml being a superset of json means you can usually do ` | toJson` in your templates instead of ` | toYaml | nindent x`

the ai-generated graphic before any content is presented is kind of a turnoff

if you're not locked to javascript you could use python with pep-723[1] to declare inline dependencies

Re:Radicle: Disclosure of Vulnerability in the Network Protocol on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @01:07PM (#49819242)
you're right! i can't believe i only noticed that just now, thanks!
Re:Radicle: Disclosure of Vulnerability in the Network Protocol on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @12:30PM (#49818604)
thankfully (for me), this is about the git forge and not the oss calendar and contact synchronization software by the same name

Re:Ubuntu 26.10 completes transition to Rust-based coreutils on Tuesday September 15, 2026 @09:21AM (#49712122)
this works great but in my experience sometimes you should add

  && sync
not sure why it's necessary only sometimes!
Re:CSS-Tricks in Limbo on Tuesday September 15, 2026 @08:45AM (#49711697)
the title is really underselling it; as the post is very concise, i won't repeat it here but it's worth reading
Re:I resigned from Anthropic today on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @09:22PM (#49619536)
i have heard about ai companies being fuelled by effective altruist rhetoric ("we must control ai to prevent mass extinction") but was unsure whether to believe it; this seems to slot right into that framing.
Re:Stop Making TUIs on Saturday August 22, 2026 @07:53AM (#49398818)
this blog post is mostly shadowboxing and showing off their llm-made software; kind of disappointing
Re:Ask HN: GitHub employees what's going on? Why? on Thursday August 20, 2026 @07:10AM (#49373032)
offtopic but i find it concerning that github has effectively prevented people from learning how to use git without a forge
Re:Go 1.27 Interactive Tour on Sunday August 02, 2026 @11:25AM (#49145474)
fascinating how many people are displeased with the expansion of generics! i love go and this is some functionality i always missed.

it turns out "consumer agency" is ineffective and that people are actually very susceptible to having thoughts beamed into their heads
Re:How to build a circular LCD clock on Sunday July 12, 2026 @09:53PM (#48886921)
it's a fun hobby project and thanks for documenting it!

but it's a pre-bought circular screen, raspberry pi and a browser... i could use it to ask google the time, the clock is just a formality.

thinking about it a little harder, i guess the focus is not really the project and more so the watch faces.

Re:Resetting Xbox on Tuesday July 07, 2026 @10:12AM (#48818165)
crazy second sentence which makes the rest of the comment not make any sense
Re:Vite+ Beta on Thursday July 02, 2026 @09:41AM (#48761506)
it worked for uv so i can imagine a competent team can do the same thing for javascript!
Re:I ported Kubernetes to the browser on Tuesday June 30, 2026 @09:51PM (#48741501)
the author paid for a robot to write the software while they watched.

it's a bad faith dig at ai-driven development, not the part of the comment that was supposed to be taken seriously, sorry.

Re:I ported Kubernetes to the browser on Tuesday June 30, 2026 @09:28PM (#48741379)
giving yourself (or your llm) infinite future work in maintaining all that duplicated kubernetes source code is a bad idea, surely? the author notes they could have compiled the kubernetes to wasm, but doesn't due to... bundle size? i haven't tried, but surely it wouldn't work because all os-level functionality would cause panics.

also the title is false

we all know what they meant
went to today's puzzle, was assigned an easy symmetrical nonogram. even though that was a disappointing start i was open to doing more, so i opened a hard one and was faced with a nonogram symmetrical on more axes than the easy one.

since a human would know these are bad nonograms, i have to assume this is all llm-generated.

i see you have already addressed similar comments, just sharing my two cents since i usually love puzzles.

Re:The Rise and (Potential) Fall of Letterboxd on Thursday June 18, 2026 @08:14PM (#48593366)
great website but i had to sign out of at least three separate newsletters so far - if i wasn't already so disillusioned by modern technology, that would have made me delete my account.
Re:Want your images back? Sure... That'll be $5! on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @03:20PM (#48575437)
so you want a service that does everything, is around forever, extremely reliable, affordable, and easy to use, and not affiliated with big tech? and you don't want to do anything yourself?
Re:/e/OS 4.0 is here on Friday June 12, 2026 @07:37PM (#48510658)
i have used /e/OS every day for a couple years now but the only thing i ever see change are - third party apps updated - fixed bug in murena subscription only app

i guess nothing about it has to be updated but it feels uncanny that every update is either a dependency bump or financial interest

Re:Grit: Rewriting Git in Rust with Agents on Tuesday June 09, 2026 @07:56PM (#48469453)
pretty dystopian to ask a robot to recreate your favorite software just so you can relicense it for your business venture
i'm sympathetic to her health concerns (obviously) but the blog post is about type 1 and your girlfriend seems to have type 2. although they have similar names, their causes are unrelated.

from my perspective you are responding to a blog about the complications of a terrible, incurable illness with "you need more exercise" which has no impact on type 1.

for completeness: yes, diet and exercise does change the amount of insulin a type 1 diabetic needs, but it does not "get better" or "go away".

the type 1 diabetics i know actually live very healthy lives by necessity because they need to constantly keep track of their carb consumption so they can adjust the insulin amount.

type 1 diabetes is not influenced by diet, lifestyle or exercise which you could have known if you had read the first few paragraphs of the blog you're commenting about
i have multiple family members with t1d and having experienced their stories i expected this blog to be filled with anti-patient practises, planned obsolesence and the like. however, i was relieved to read that's not the case.

Re:I Put a Datacenter GPU in My Gaming PC for £200 on Sunday May 31, 2026 @11:08AM (#48346302)
despite gaming being used in the title, it is not mentioned in the article, but i'm curious how this performs.

i've ran some multi vendor frankenstein setups before and sometimes it even works, so i'm curious to hear your experience with it.
