In the old days my team leader would review our PR and every time will remind us that he can “compile the code in his head”. This was 10 years ago, I still find it corny and disturbing.

I don’t want to go back to those corny bro programmers.

From what I’ve read online Ndrangheta are much more powerful than the mafia in Italy.

In my country, we also have a dormant nuclear plant because of Chernobyl and political reasons.

I purchased mine using Apple's in-app subscription. I just checked and it is still there.

Is this the same plugin found in Codex? @codex Security?

I live in the Southeast Asia, so this El Nino event is worrying. It also means drought and super typhoons.

I’m a parent of an autistic kid and signed up. Hope to get early access soon.

Re:Why I email complete strangers on Monday June 15, 2026 @08:43PM (#48549094)
I only have my email in my app, no social media or whatever. And received a lot of kind emails from users, issues they found, feature requests.

It is really something and I'm very grateful for their emails.

Well Apple just released a bunch of Agent Skills. I tried it on my macOS apps and I noticed some improvements codewise and updated some deprecations I didn’t know existed in Swift.

Damn, that is so hurtful. I'm sorry if English is my third language. But for my project documents I would love to read it like a proper documentation so I'm thankful for AI.

Re:Leaving Mozilla on Saturday June 13, 2026 @08:44AM (#48516746)
Thanks for the explanation, and thank you for your work at Mozilla. I guess what I'm saying is that I wish Mozilla could have just focused on the browser.
Re:Leaving Mozilla on Saturday June 13, 2026 @04:36AM (#48514942)
I think Mozilla started getting nuts the day they ventured with Firefox OS. To this day, I am still kind of confused with that move.
I’ve been > 20 years sober. For me it was just music. I’m obsessed with a band who preaches sobriety in their lyrics and lifestyle.
I'm in Northern Cebu, never felt it. I guess you are in the city.
It's now confirmed that the Cotabato Trench caused the earthquake. It's scary that this trench has been moving a lot lately during the past few years.
Re:The worst job interview I ever had on Wednesday May 27, 2026 @04:18AM (#48291260)
I also had a remote interview for an Australian agency company. I went to their website and it was all Australian folks, name, photos, etc. Their website also has a video of them working inside the office, having a meeting.

When I joined the call it was just a couple of Indian persons, with the video resolution of one fella so low, it was hard to make up his face. The other one was a female which did not turned on her camera for reasons she mentioned something she was sick and don't like turning it on.

I had lots of remote interview, but this one is just borderline creepy.

Re:Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2026) on Monday May 11, 2026 @08:28AM (#48094126)
I’m currently working on an API-first identity verification backend built with FastAPI. It is made for handling ID documents, selfies, OCR data, biometric signals, API keys, webhooks, and tenant billing data.

Hopefully I can find an investor in the future, still in the early stages.

Would love to take a crack on this on Android
I remembered one project I added over 20 items and then GitHub’s Kanban started freaking out. Never did I used it since. Trello was great but got heavier too with all those fancy stuffs and colors.

I’m still in the lookout for a great kanban software though.

I use Codex a lot, it does not talk that way like "wait, actually".
