Agreed. After an implementation session, I often use: "did you notice any inconsistencies or opportunities to clarify/consolidate parameters or functionality while you were working…

I’d love to give NixOS a try on an old ThinkPad. I’m pretty comfortable with Claude; is it as simple as ask and go, or do you have any suggestions for getting started?

Strongly agreed. He played BlizzCon a few years back and it was my favorite part of the weekend.

Is this HN user runako’s comment[1] from 2 days ago turned into an article? I guess it’s very possible multiple people are coming up with the same idea at the same time but given t…

At least some, but let me give an example. Request: “manual step X should not be part of the automated build script” Fulfilled as: build script is now split in two. X is still done…

You have said this in a few places throughout the thread. At this point, citation is needed. I work for a real business and switched from API billing to max+overflow. It saves mone…

Not the op, but it’s fairly easy to hit if you automate a kanban and have some stuff you want to get done. All those little “wouldn’t it be great if” tasks that show up after doing…

This is exactly why my preferred method at the moment is simple markdown files with instructions. At worst, a human could do it.

Yes, but at this point I'd almost rather have my CC info exposed than my personal info. There is law and consequence for fraudulent charges that protects me from loss (if not incon…

There was a time when I built games entirely using Visual Studio 6 Edit and Continue. These were the days when debuggers were reliable. Nowadays, I treat the debugger’s output like…

Thanks for this -- have been using Cody a lot and just tried Windsurf on my hobby project. So far it seems immediately like a step up. Has anyone paid for it? The free version is d…

If a company provides a service for free to enable selling something else, and that something else becomes illegal to sell, then it’s up to the company whether they want to keep of…

Congratulations! Happy to hear you describe making an indie mmo as fun and not that hard these days :) Is there a way to interact or chat on mobile?

Any recommendations?

Check out the Winternitz One-Time Signature Sphere10.com/articles/cryptography/pqc/wots Signing many things with one identity is possible by precomputing a Merkle tree, but this ta…

Google Apps Script can do all of this. Take the email body and put it into a Google doc, then export the doc as a pdf to drive and attach it from there to send.

Wow, the exact opposite of what I might have guessed from the title. Does this mean percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] is over-applied, or something else?

Another implementation: https://github.com/karlgluck/ThresholdJS This is a very straightforward encoding of a single 256-bit number.

This is a more interesting take to me than others since it seems you’ve actually learned it? I see the response later that you’d rather use whatever the team already uses, but coul…

Yeah—as a TCL fan, I agree. Comparing implementations of common coding tasks with other languages doesn’t highlight TCL’s strengths or, really, its purpose. Personally, TCL fits a …

Same. I started building an automated solution for building gamedev environments in VM’s[1] but I can’t help but think there should be a better way. [1] https://github.com/karlgluc…

I was driving friends home from an event a couple days ago, and was navigating with Google Maps on an iPhone 7. We were discussing a future trip to a local attraction with a unique…
