Speaking of soon, tangentially related this just got announced: https://standardcode.ai/ They claim to support 24/7 agent coding with no VC subsidizations or money lost on a subscr…

Apple is free and low end given the context of what was being produced and sold to businesses decades ago.

I have a largish library at about 400gb. I synced it completely using the mobile app. It took a few months (it just finished in early June) but it’ll eventually do it. I know there…

Ollama Cloud has a $20 a month subscription. They say they retain 0 information. And rather than token based billing, it's GPU time billing.

I actually implemented this yesterday. The gist is this library runs the MCP server: https://csharp.sdk.modelcontextprotocol.io/concepts/identity... Then I build an authbroker appl…

Agreed. It still feels like Zed is only good for writing scripts.

Not OP but things like this: (BunnyCDN has been silently losing our production files for 15 months) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47710845

It's almost always a system design issue. Outside of a few specific use cases with big data, I struggle to imagine when I'd use NoSQL, especially in an application or data analytic…

I recently "vibe coded" a long term background job runner service... thing. It's rather specific to my job and a pre-existing solution didn't exist. I already knew what I wanted th…

I've heard a lot of people prefer OpenCode to Claude Code, myself included. Having tried both, I find myself having a much better time in OpenCode. Have you tried it? I'll admit it…

I think so. The last few months have shown us that it isn't necessarily the models themselves that provide good results, but the tooling / harness around it. Codex, Opus, GLM 5, Ki…

I wonder if there's something to be said about screenshots preventing context poisoning vs parsing. Or in other words, the "poison" would have to be visible and obvious on the page…

While I don't use Gemini, I'm betting they'll end up being the cheapest in the future because Google is developing the entire stack, instead of relying on GPUs. I think that puts t…

I use garage at home, single node setup. It's very easy and fast, I'm happy with it. You're missing out on a UI for it, but MountainDuck / CyberDuck solves that problem for me.

I used to be a big ruby/rails fan but I have to agree with you. I now write c-sharp and it's a lot less stressful than Ruby. If a Ruby/Rails codebases get to a large enough point i…

For Mac, yes and no. IIRC you don't need a developer's license to build and sign software for yourself. But you do need one to distribute pre-built software.

To be fair, there’s a massive banner on their front page warning users it’s in beta. Until they settle on a proper release it’ll continue to be a bit chaotic. All software developm…

I just built it on macos 15.3.1 without issues, if that helps.

Same, in a way. I've been using it for a couple months on my MacBook Pro M2 Max, zero issues. Recently I installed it on my work laptop, M4 Max, and I get frequent crashes. No idea…

They're saying that when someone uses a privacy token to search, they cannot track which account it's tied to. Therefor, they cannot track limits & billing.

I use it at work with asp.net MVC, no issues either. I did have to use Webpacker though...

I like Ruby a lot, but I find it large codebases get convoluted since it doesn't have a proper typing system. RBS doesn't count lol. Even RubyMine by JetBrains gets confused with c…

I've always been a fan of cloudflare or firebase for static sites.
