    I'm on the latest version (2.1.154 as of this comment). Based on the timestamps on those Issues being reported I think it's happening on the latest version. I'm sure it will get fi…

    Unfortunately they seem to have straight up broken Claude Code either with this release in the backend or the new CC version. Errors about "can't modify thinking blocks" are bricki…

    Google really can’t help themselves but to have some internal re-org kill off a public thing people are actively using. It’s honestly impressive how consistent they are.

    There was a moment about a week ago where Claude went down for about an hour. And right after it came back up it was clear a lot of people had given up and were not using it. It wa…

    Seems like a big opportunity for Google to consider keeping Gemini ad-free as a differentiator. They can afford to burn cash on it for a long time to come if they choose to do so.

    Glad to hear the impact was so muted. Thank you for the response!

    Did the client side JS being infected produce any issues which would have affected end users? As in if a web owner were on an affected version and deployed during the window would …

    Recently used a lot of HaxeUI for a game and it felt similar to this. A lot of components included out of the box that “just work” with some basic styling. And you can use CSS styl…

    Anyone using one as your daily driver for coding? Or tried and it didn’t keep?

    Happy to support this, desperately needs to be changed.

    I made one of the original posts on HN about this years ago after hearing about it from my CPA. Both then and now these changes make zero sense to me as a matter of good policy. I …

    Somewhat related topic: anyone used something like the Luxedo to do a projection mapping? It seems like it’s more complicated and expensive but I love the idea of doing something c…

    I think that ideally, every project would be setup from scratch in the beginning to use t() tags or something similar to have translation keys so that setting up translations is as…

    At Roll20 we just released a beta version of our new VTT engine which is powered by Babylon. The devs on the team have really enjoyed getting to use the modern workflow compared to…

    GitHub GraphQL Service Down?

    We seem to be unable to access Github's GraphQL API service. All requests with a Bearer token are timing out. You can see this for yourself by trying to use their GraphQL Explorer …

    In the U.S. you have to actually file for a copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office if you actually want to bring a copyright suit against someone.

    I don’t actually know how it works for paying yourself. But if you were paying someone else, in 2024 they would get 10k carried over from 2023 and $5k from 2024. You only get 10% t…

    So you're saying that the advice you got was that if it's a launched product, you can treat software development as an operating expense and just ignore the fact that 174 says soft…

    I think the main difference is: 1) You can't just go get a loan for "a software" like you can "a widget maker." Most businesses with these large capital assets get loans on them an…

    I have also been surprised since I found out at the lack of discussion. Based on this post, it seems like many people didn't know. I assume a lot more are going to find out as we g…

    Yeah, the 162 treatment defense is the thing I've seen on here that seems like it may hold some water, and I'm planning to go back to my CPA and talk about it with them. To be clea…
