Would be better if it had some technical explanation rather than just yet another public transport map. This: https://vgcgroup.co.uk/news/signalbox-for-train-locations/ suggests th…

Repeatedly following a fixed algorithm by hand can be relaxing - simple Sudoku problems, Solitaire, simple Rubiks cube solutions, simple crosswords and math problems, word searches…

Similar but a bit different https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWm0Yasp9qA

France, Germany, Sweden, Estonia and India already have government id. However, this being hackernews there will never be a link to a well researched article on the pros and cons o…

The original author submitted it, then when it didn't get traction it looks like two fans of his blog both submitted it around 12 hours later. Whether for internet upvote points or…

Same here, my numbers come from "how much progress do I make with a single day spent working on a given project". Previously: make a little bit of progress, realize I'd need a year…

It's hardly original, but my take is that vibe coding works brilliantly for personal projects (or potentially for tiny startups that need to rapidly churn out CRUD boilerplate, API…

ah cool great idea, I've now done the same www.linkedin.com##[aria-label="Main Feed"]

Yup entirely this. The biggest sign of this is Tommy Robinson, who has blatantly committed outrageous cases of stalking, harassment, and contempt of court, for which he has been co…

Black Mirror is the new 1984. Right wing people think "this is a parable of what left-of-centre politics gets you, look how clever I am". Left-of-centre people know that the author…

Agreed, how in 2025 is an OCR model reading this as "Bobbins"? https://www.alltext.nyc/panorama/z0SOvmU-5_yuspnsFvjVuA?o=16...

I like the animations and general appearance, and how snappy it feels. Would prefer if mistakes required a backspace though, and also more than one word at a time. Also unclear if …

The Scala community soap-opera was a total shit show. Both of the women involved later ended up in relationships with Travis Brown, another prominent and extremely controversial Sc…

I presume lots of people are flagging it but no action is being taken. It really damages the wholesome vibes. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/31/from-the-river...

I don't get why he is so determined to stick with Scala. It's just a programming language. The Scala community is forever going to hold extremely negative associations for him. For…

I just bought my first synth, not very originally a Minilogue XD. A much cheaper mid-life toy then a sports car or pilot's licence! I'm interested in any recommendations for learni…

What security features are in place to ensure nothing is capturing or logging user API keys?

Interesting, I'll take a look when the rate limit issue is sorted. There are loads of projects springing up around using LLMs for text adventures. My prediction is that at some poi…

Fair enough, substitute "unlimited" for "extremely high limits that most people very rarely hit"

The huge positive publicity boost that Claude Code gained during its unlimited phase was surely easily worth the slight negative publicity it is getting now. This post is just mark…

If you scroll down it also says 60% of the code is automated. Both percentages are essentially meaningless. If you require customers to type all their requirements into a static we…

My inside information is both outdated and minimal, I was there for a short time a few years ago. As far as I know all the development work on client projects was done by developer…

I am a former employee from a few years ago. I didn't stay very long at all though. In 2019 its former Chief Business Officer sued them for fraud, claiming that apps were built by …

I hate lying to such an extent that the moment an interviewer starts digging into why I left past roles I just accept I'm not going to get the job. If the interviewer is trying to …

Pretty cool, though like others I had some slight technical issues. On Firefox mobile I got a black screen (that was yesterday, maybe it's been updated since then). Firefox desktop…
