Yes, that’s my biggest gripe with Claude at the moment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48789551 It’s more inhibiting to me than bad code, missing tests, or an obvious or non-…

I’m (sorry for the lack of humbleness) a very fluent non-native speaker and writer, and this is by far my biggest challenge with Claude. It stitches together 2-4 advanced concepts …

This is crazy. I just got the CCX33 last week to migrate a Heroku db to it, that seems to have jumped over 100% now…? Need to reconsider Edit: just noticed this is not retroactive.…

Super interesting. I’ve been failing hard at gaining weight. Intrigued. I hope you don’t hesitate to make the app paid if you find the justification.

A bit O/T but: > I have never been a big fan of pull requests. I guess this partly explains why Zed (still) lacks a PR review flow, let alone a coherent one, despite some interest …

Maybe…I really didn’t want to have to install another app just because I’m sharing though. My line of thinking was/is: If tomorrow I decide not to share with anyone , I don’t want …

I need to finish off that blog post. With Tailscale, you can basically point a domain to the FQDN of a machine you’re sharing with people and the domain will simply work for them (…

Reminds of a neighbor I had back when I was renting in a big city. He didn’t seem to understand what’s wrong with keeping his TV on for very long periods broadcasting the sleaziest…

Astro is great. It checks all of my checkboxes. I hope this is not the beginning of the end.

A custom Python/Django based mini-app (mini — at least for now) that will allow me to import transactions sanely and safely to my local GnuCash install. I’ve been doing tedious man…

I happen to use Paddle. Happen because Stripe isn’t available in my country and Lemon Squeezy wasn’t around / was very new back then. It’s OK but it really irks me that they don’t …

Off topic: I’m halfway through the article and can’t help but notice the relatively high number of times a word is erroneously repeated twice; wondering if it was “edited” by AI.

Yeah, my first lines of Python (or code) were Selenium/BeautifulSoup. The problems with these are sensitivity for (DOM) changes, speed, and scale (not that I'm too concerned with t…

Yep, I don't have much experience with affiliate programs (I like to build more SaaS-like apps[1]) but from my research Amazon have gotten really stingy circa 2019. Happy to see an…

Yeah, I also wondered how quick would it be to ~~rip off~~ replicate “diskprices.com for X” and took a weekend (ok more) to build https://tvpricesindex.com (Also using HTMX). TVs a…

What’s the point of having [Spoiler Alert] in the opening paragraph if the spoiler is already in the title?

1) A friend in DevOps who supposedly has contacts there. 2) It's not like this push is a big secret: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/12/microsoft-github-relying-mor...

Rumor has it Microsoft is pushing them to move their infrastructure to Azure, which explains much of the frequent downtimes lately.

Hi. I’m the author. First off, happy to hear you find that refreshing - it’s a really nice compliment to hear! I, like you, hate blanket statements. Perhaps I should I’ve emphasize…

Author here. Small world! Would love to see your app if you don’t mind sharing. I’m @SHxKM on Twitter if you’d like to connect.

OP here: that’s a good idea that did come up to mind (specifically rotating the Redis queue credentials). I was just sure Heroku’s gonna take care of this shit by now. BTW, I’m not…

OP here: I agree my phrasing is kind of problematic. Will rephrase shortly. Thank you for bringing that up.
