I've been using Taskfile. Are just / mise much better?

Same approach here. Sometimes it's hard to debug. "Why is this weird test failing for an unrelated change", but I have to remind myself that it's a real concurrency bug that would …

*west -> east? ;)

They just cancelled a train from Amsterdam to Munich for me and never replied to my form for a refund. I called them about. Had to spend 600 extra for a sleeper instead.

IMHO you can remove the "good" and "except when". DB is 30% of the time a frustrating experience, which I've noticed makes me want to avoid it, even though I love trains. Trains in…

Very cool, this is the first language I've seen that has effects/permissions annotated. When reasoning about a bit of code, types and effects are two things that help me grok it. H…

Super happy user here! It's an excellent piece of engineering. We're running a fork that supports a "sidecar" server for running multiple integration tests against. So if any tests…

Love your games Zach! Hope my kids will take to them at some point.

I'm showing this page to my team and investors every couple of weeks. Visual, animated explanations are MUCH better than textual content for deeply grokking something. This is what…

I've been thinking that there might not be new programming languages. The amount of code in the current popular ones will explode, so that's what all LLMs will be trained on. Good …

Yes and yes. Uber for 260 eur arrived within 5 minutes after booking.

I was at a conference in Frankfurt, traveling back to Amsterdam with my cofounder and got stuck in Oberhausen. We have an early flight tomorrow and there's no trains in NL due to a…

Nope, unfortunately not right now. Thank you!

we do a very comprehensive scan in multiple dimensions: git blame history, llm passes over every file and a tree-sitter analysis for cognitive complexity. We bring our opinionated …

bespoke canvas (based on pixijs) + sync engine. We want to be fully on-prem capable.

After getting the top spot in What Are You Working On in Feb 2025 ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43157056 ) I started a company on that idea at https://getcomper.ai . After…

I'm building a context engine for all the code and docs in your company, and expose it via a collaborative zoomable UI + CLI , where you can collaborate with your co-workers and ag…

Ugh same. I had a 49g and a 49g+ in high school. The 49g broke down and the other got robbed when my student room got burgled a couple years later. Learned a lot of RPN programming…

My dad's GP didn't know about this, and despite my dad saying "it's fine, I'm taking creatine", sent him for a kidney check-up. Then they found an unrelated tumor on the ultrasound…

It is _very_ different. In the case of outsourcing, where companies offer decent local wages in developing countries, it can not be compared to slavery which is the perpetual owner…

Ok this might be weird but I've moved everyone in my 4 person team to our team plan and costs seem to have sky rocketed compared to the individual plans. Where before most people s…

Just as a thought experiment, what would be worse for humanity. Global warming or global cooling by the same amount of degrees C? I'm in western Europe and really hope the AMOC wil…

From the title I was hoping for this being hacky on the server application side, like how it aborts and clears the memory for a running query. Still an interesting read. Just wonde…

Hmm, I've been sending receipts straight into Gemini 3 Flash and it handles them just fine. No need for this whole pipeline and definitely MUCH cheaper. Am I missing something?
