I wouldn't mind a dark mode but otherwise agree. I do occasionally flashbang my baby by opening HN while he's asleep on me in the dark

What does it say?
Re:SOML – A Config Format for Humans on Monday November 02, 2026 @04:27PM (#50344027)
Love the Fincher quote. That escape hatch thing is such a Claudism.
I was surprised to find after using dictation heavily all year that I actually talk a load of rubbish when I'm speaking, using all kinds of cliches and fillers and saying way more than was needed.
Re:WTF Ubuntu? on Monday November 02, 2026 @10:48AM (#50338471)
All the people working at Canonical have gone through the Canonical hiring process, which is quite possibly the worst in the global industry and I can't imagine anyone competent getting through it.
Re:Japan's trains are great. Why is booking one so hard? on Sunday November 01, 2026 @05:52AM (#50324426)
I found that out before I went, so I took an iPhone specifically for the job. The ease is gives you makes it worth carrying. As for northeast of Tokyo, very few visitors do that, sadly.

Suica on an iPhone, job done? If it's shinkansen then use Smart Ex to load the ticket onto the card.

SmartTube for your TV, NewPipe for your phone
Re:GPT-5.6 Sol can beat Factorio on peaceful mode on Saturday October 31, 2026 @04:31PM (#50319866)
Your last sentence mirrors my model choices recently. Opus can do things very well but Sol can do them well for less than 1/4 the price.
Harrogate by any chance?

I've been using a Collie on Android to connect to my herdr server, it's very good
Re:Why are good developers so wary of agentic development? on Thursday October 29, 2026 @12:30PM (#50291739)
It won't be long before the best devs are working and the shit ones are not
Rude and cowardly. If you've got a problem, talk to me directly, not about me to other people.
Presumably this is only capacity connected to the grid, and doesn't include isolated data centre builds?
In a previous job, in whiteboard sessions, one of the team would always refer to something as the "final solution" and I could never tell whether he was doing it on purpose or not

I think it's bollocks too but I don't think a forecast can be truth or a lie
Re:OpenAI CLI on Thursday October 22, 2026 @05:02AM (#50192998)
claude -p has never actually been charged as extra usage. They announced a plan to do so then shelved it quietly.
I am the parent claim mate, and I said "I think" not "I provably know for sure". Either way, I see no cause for your little rant.
Re:Whatever Happened to Fire Escapes on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @07:48AM (#50179322)
In my 4th floor apartment in Tokyo there was a box containing what seemed to be basically an abseiling harness. Instructions in Japanese but seemed like if shit hits the fan you smash the window, clip it to the building and get yourself down to street level asap.
Re:The Other Epidemic: Trying to get off benzodiazepines on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @04:17AM (#50177549)
A pub in Britain? Yeah, pretty much everyone is on the bag
What an unnecessary rant. I know the legality of my own Plex collection, which is zero.
I don't think any more than 5% of Plex users are using it for legally-obtained content.
There is some base to it. Chicken breast and rabbit are both very lean therefore lacking the fat which gives it the distinctive flavor of the animal. All lean meat basically tastes the same.

Love it. This is almost exactly how I electrified my crank-driven standing desk
Re:How the Claude Code team does code review on Friday October 16, 2026 @04:52PM (#50124506)
Using a different lab's model to review the code to the one that wrote it. Claude model plans/codes, OpenAI model reviews, or vice versa, or DeepSeek or GLM or whatever.

You just reminded me that I even have flaresolverr running, I must have set it and forgot it

What about My Briefcase?
Most areas of London are ill-defined, I think it's fair to say.

Crystal Palace is a made up place but the club is authentic to that place, if that makes sense?

To be fair, the same guy also made a really great documentary about urbanism as part of that trilogy
Yes, the club name bears the shame of having moved across town for money. The MK Dons of the 20th century.

Port Vale is the only other one without a place name but they never moved, I don't know where the name comes from.
