Re:Self-hosted HTTP tunnels with SSH and Nginx on Monday October 05, 2026 @12:26AM (#49960671)
Instead of tunneling, why aren't there easier ways to develop and deploy to publicly accessible servers (for mere mortals)?

sish does get a mention: "Some only require a plain SSH client but rely on a specific SSH server, like sish.:
Have we heard of any of those nonprofits? Have any of them made a dent in anything? Why are people so mesmerized by nonprofits?
This take is ill-informed. He's just saying you can't get hung up on your previous investments, decisions, etc. Keep moving forward. A16Z folks are very human, terrific at what they do and good people.

It always seemed so strange to me that "native" http clients were so lousy or many cases even non-existent considering that that's half of development these days.

No reason given?
The incremental improvements seem like they are going to be pretty modest from this point.

Copying others better and faster. I would say this is right up their alley.

The other thing is, aren't the models mostly indistinguishable at this point?
Shouldn't this all be easily doable via (auto-)prompting? Surely I don't need to "install" anything?

Re:PostgreSQL for Everything on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @01:20PM (#49364417)
I dunno. I think the main takeaway here is that you can do 80-95% of your stuff in Postgres and eschew all the unnecessary, unproven stores.
Agree. Couldn't care less. There are some neat aspects to "rare books" but overall quite insignificant.
Re:Firefox 153.0 Beta on Monday July 20, 2026 @11:58AM (#48980667)
Has Firefox not had containers until now????
That's ridiculous. All he espouses is that all of this stuff is going to happen and so you might was well do it right (with Palantir).
This seems ridiculously short-sighted and backwards.
I try to avoid hating but that's pretty rough.
How much structural and geotechnical detail does an ADU need?
Since it's entirely possible (extremely likely?) the "problem" would never materialize, this is quite reasonable.
Storing money as an integer is OK but I've never liked APIs that required financial amounts to be integers. Amounts always eventually need to be displayed to a human as a decimal.

Re:Heat pump sales rise across Europe on Monday May 04, 2026 @06:49PM (#48015983)
“ A total of around 575,000 residential heat pump units were sold across 11 European countries from January to March 2026, up from 494,000 in the same period in 2025”

Not a big increase on a relatively small base. What is the takeaway here?

I don't go to the gym much but that is one place where I would be VERY careful trying to strike up a confirmation and heaven forbid tapping someone on the shoulder.
All my co-workers say Claude blows away Gemini. Is it really that good? How can I do Kimi?
Re:Meta to cut 10% of jobs, or 8k employees on Thursday April 23, 2026 @05:44PM (#47882510)
"half the employees of Google or Apple; only a third of Microsoft"

That sounds like 2-10x too many. Think about what Google, Apple & Microsoft do compared to Meta.

If no one hears them, do they really exist?
