News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Did they actually do anything good here ? Is this really marketing in the middle of this shitshow ?
I can see that this _could_ happen, but I've had the opposite experience; I spend an hour or 2 every day outside exercising, I knock off at a sensible hour to play with the kids, I have lunch with the wife & kids on days that they aren't at school/work.

I do miss the corporate banter a bit, but organise social events with colleagues in the nearest city periodically that helps.

Lastfm stopped me moving from Spotify to Apple Music; none of the iOS scrobblers seem to consistently catch all listens.

Heat pumps are so _ordinary_ here (Central Europe), im always a bit surprised how skeptical folks in the US and UK seem to be about them

Sounds like it wasn’t sized well?

Thanks! I didn’t realise it’s common for CPUs to rock dedicated hardware for this.
Re:ChatGPT Atlas on Wednesday October 22, 2025 @12:29AM (#45664890)
This’d be a great way to hedge against folks like cloudfront aggressively restricting your training scraping too! Endpoints everywhere
Re:Can We Know Whether a Profiler Is Accurate? on Wednesday October 15, 2025 @12:28AM (#45588079)
Do you have a source for “with very little observer effect”? I don’t know better, it just seems like a big assumption the CPU can emit all this extra stuff without behaving differently.
There’s quite some fresh gerrymandering going on, and because folks already “tolerate” this, it’s just incremental heat in the pot.
Re:Tangled, a Git collaboration platform, built on atproto on Saturday October 11, 2025 @03:58AM (#45547451)
I am obliged to use a public GitHub org for work. Is it “blessed path” to try do the CR part in tangled and sync back to GitHub? I would love to profit from my nice jj habits at the review stage!
Re:Zürich voters ban noisy leaf blowers on Monday October 06, 2025 @04:53AM (#45489218)
The showering thing is an urban legend; you can have landlords try and enforce it, but it infringes on your basic right to enjoy your property iirc and is unenforceable.

The glass thing is accurate tho!

Re:The Theatre of Pull Requests and Code Review on Thursday September 25, 2025 @01:44PM (#45376227)
As a jujutsu fan, I like to prepare a nice clean commit history for my reviewers to probably ignore. But I kind of assume - there’s _some tool_ we could use - perhaps on top of GitHub - to make stacked reviews not suck, either actually stacked PRs or just incrementally reviewing a nicely divided branch PR. I thought it might be graphite but it seems that needs some whole other tooling _stuff_ on top? Any recommendations ?

Re:The Case Against Social Media Is Stronger Than You Think on Sunday September 14, 2025 @02:30AM (#45237913)
Moreover it’s not even possible for us to engage in _honest debate_ about the impact of social media anymore.

Absolutist positions without nuance are the norm, and the folks who control these platforms control to a very large extent the narrative to push surrounding them, both directly through the platforms themselves and indirectly through lobbying and the obscene pool of capital they have siphoned off.

Not op but I also have a varia and feel safer for it. Living in Switzerland, cycle a lot on public curvy roads in the alps. Often I don’t hear someone coming if I’m focusing on something else important - like traffic in the other direction - or I don’t realise there’s actually more than one car about to overtake which the Varia also shows. Generally turning your head around to check is a bit dodgy!
Re:What Are Traces and Spans in OpenTelemetry? on Monday September 01, 2025 @10:02AM (#45092756)
There’s an OTel SIG to do something similar / based on orchestrion and some other prior art - so just a matter of time !
Re:What Are Traces and Spans in OpenTelemetry? on Monday September 01, 2025 @10:01AM (#45092745)
You could use span links for this. The idea is you have a bunch of discrete traces that indicate they are downstream or upstream of some other trace. You’d just have to bend it a bit to work in your probably single process batch executor !
Re:Claudia – Desktop companion for Claude code on Sunday August 17, 2025 @03:16PM (#44934097)
Didn’t know about roo! But I’m with you; I don’t see why folks are investing their efforts in building more of these shiny wrappers, and what their expected end game could be.
Re:Claudia – Desktop companion for Claude code on Sunday August 17, 2025 @02:56PM (#44933955)
I’m assuming/hoping this is gonna end up as regular plugins for existing IDEs

This is great! I wonder how much the presenters country - the Netherlands - has made this easier with the peering. It’s hard for me to imagine just asking big serious networks to patch you in down here in Switzerland is likely to fly.

WallabyJS does something along these lines, although I don’t think it is contextually understanding which tests to highlight

Re:Use Your Type System on Thursday July 24, 2025 @02:22PM (#44674208)
The generic magic for this is called “dependant types” I believe - generics that can take values as well as types as parameters. Idris supports these

Hey Matt this is comprehensive- thanks ! Excited to get stuck in

If you’re already competent with systems languages in keen to _go on a wild deep dive_ into this sort of perf engineering, where’s a good place or good resources to get started ?

Show HN: Cargo-pup – ArchUnit-style linting for rust

https://github.com/DataDog/cargo-pup

Hey HN!I’ve been working on cargo-pup, a Rust tool for defining and enforcing architectural rules in your codebase - like ArchUnit for Java, or Clippy, but for project-specific architecture constraints rather than linting.It lets you write architectural assertions in Rust using a builder-style API. For example:Enforce layering: "REST modules shouldn’t use SQL clients" Enforce consistency:...

Agreed - there’s a big difference between “I actively asked CF to terminate my TLS” and “I suspect my provider is scraping unencrypted data out of my running VM”
This is really interesting! I had no idea so much would be coming from Codex. Glad someone is tracking this over time too.

I enjoyed the writing here a lot - it’s a nice, clearly explained idea. I can recognize myself in this.

Well, fuck
