No worries at all, I don’t mind the question. But it could be a mix! My writing process involves bouncing ideas off LLMs about wording and sentence structure whenever I feel like I’ve reached a checkpoint in the writing process.

For a long time, even though I consider myself fluent in English and primarily speak English every day, both at home and at work, I’ve still felt like I’m not quite where I’d like to be in terms of proficiency. That feeling actually kept me from writing until fairly recently, because I was always worried that whatever I put down wouldn’t come across as coherent (or maybe polished?) enough.

I used to write a lot in my native language back in the day, so I think part of that hesitation came from knowing how naturally writing used to come to me and feeling like I couldn’t quite express myself the same way in English. More recently, though, LLMs have helped me with that. I feel much more comfortable putting my thoughts into writing again.

I actually feel like this is such an interesting topic to explore. I’d be curious to somehow experiment on myself and see whether I’ve started sounding like an LLM recently, and if so, whether we might eventually see people converging toward speaking, or even thinking, in the same way. Scary thought honestly.

Appreciate the kind words!

In true HN fashion, a surprising amount of the discussion ended up being about the title.

Turkish is my native language, and its sentence structure is pretty different from English, so that occasionally sneaks into how I phrase things. I can see why “my server runs on a phone now” is less ambiguous.

Anyway, I’ve enjoyed the accidental linguistics thread :)

Love the idea, great work!

I meant it from the server’s perspective: VPS before, phone now. The article clears up any ambiguity pretty quickly.

The main difference is that Camoufox doesn't have an iOS 6 client. Surf is built around that client experience: omnibox, tabs, history, uploads/downloads, touch input, and audio/video streaming targeting 60fps. So Camoufox is great for running browser instances on a VPS, but it doesn't really replace what Surf is doing for an old iPad.

Some newer phones support bypass charging, which powers the phone directly instead of continuously cycling the battery. Mine doesn't support that, unfortunately, so I've limited charging to 80% to reduce battery stress.

Fair enough, that criticism resonates. I've decided to keep this behaviour only in the extension and have reverted it from the blog. Thanks!

I’ll accept that not everyone likes a portrait page on a landscape screen, that’s a matter of taste. But if you’re going to invoke Usage and Abusage, grammar, punctuation, and "basic decency", it would help to identify an actual error. And perhaps write "it’s" correctly while doing so. I’m also unclear what moral failing you think an A4 aspect ratio represents.

I’ve added GIFs showing the intended behavior. The brief movement doesn’t bother me, opening or closing a sidebar already resizes the webview and causes pages to reflow in the browsers I use. Ending in the wrong state after repeatedly toggling it is a bug. And yeah, if you prefer viewport centering, there’s no reason you’d want to use the extension.

Agreed, both outcomes are bugs and neither is intended. The idea is simply that, content the site author intended to be horizontally centered stays literally centered on my screen when browser UI changes the viewport.

The point of centering an element horizontally is to make sure that the content you’re viewing is directly in front of you. Browsers with a sidebar shift the content to the right, assuming the sidebar is on the left, which I’ve come to dislike! Others have expressed the same preference, hence this little snippet on my website.

Helix has been my main editor for a few years now. I went from Sublime Text to VS Code to Neovim, and eventually landed on Helix. I’ve shipped a lot of code with it, and my config is still under 50 lines, even with a few extra keybindings to emulate some Vim bindings I still find useful. I didn’t find the keybindings particularly hard to get used to, and switching back and forth between Vim and Helix has never been much of an issue when I’ve had to work on a system without `hx`.

If you have that many windows open within one work session, I pity you.

Joking aside, I actually solve this problem with my Tmux setup by using fuzzy search. I usually have 2-3 Tmux sessions where each one is a different project. The way I switch between them is by fuzzy finding.

I press a key, a pop-up appears, and after typing in three letters related to the project title, I'm already where I want to be.

I can imagine a similar solution where an application launcher can help you fuzzy find your way to a specific window based on the window's title. If the window doesn't include a project-specific title, then I'm out of ideas :)

Here you go :) https://wallhaven.cc/w/8g5qr2

I've solved this (on Arc) by simply binding Prev/Next tab shortcuts to CMD+Shift+j/k, and have been pretty happy with it.

Aerospace is what you need! The exact reason I decided on sticking with it.
