CLI certainly is better than local MCP. But nowadays, most MCPs are remote and the comparison fall short, at the notable exception of `gh` in a coding environment. But having CLI a…

Hi HN! I'm Tim, solo founder of Spanly. Since MCP got traction in early 2025, I've been convinced that within a few years, agents may use your product more than humans do, and if s…

Hi HN, I'm Tim, solo founder of Spanly ( https://spanly.com ). I spent the last year working on MCP gateways, and debugging them with nothing better than HTTP-level APM was painful…

Explorable by design, can be served through HTTP, OAuth integration.

There is no wrong time for that. You did the right choice.

To bring some positive news, I bought this computer last month and up to now I'm quite happy with it. TouchPad feels very good but is a little buggy when the computer rest on some …

On the other hand in my current company we have people from all over the world: US, EU, Africa, Asia and Australia. Everything is asynchronous, flat hierarchy, only seniors hired a…

More likely that Google engineers are in a bubble because of all the available internal tools. Also the interview process nowadays select people that have time to train for the int…

Except some Nintendo games, like breath of the wild.

It all boils down to the fact that people need to feel useful. This is part of the society as a whole. During this meetings, look at who need attention, and praise their propositio…

In 2016 Google News was great because with a 5 minutes glance you coudl hved all the necessary news. However this strategy doesn't work anymore thanks to Google News trying to be s…

Well, you can still right click on an image preview in Google Image and then select "Show Image" to get the image in full resolution, like the good old "View Image" button.

There is of course a middle ground between 'writing for writing' and 'writing for payback'. For instance people might want to post how they did some stuff, with the hope that it he…

You may want to see a doctor ;)

I kinda agree with you, but I think it's expected: demos are just ads for technical people. So in a way you know that it's too good to be true. Plus they don't actually explain how…

I mean almost by definition a single app page is a mini browser inside a browser. So you can make it as fast and clever as you want, you still added another layer to render boxes, …

I would be more concerned by the fact that if i is 10, then you already are in trouble ;)

Musl is a pretty good replacement, I have been using it for years without any troubles.

It looks a better bet to colonize Mars with genetically modified humans to sustain radiation. If such technology is not available at the time, having DNA correcting machines to giv…

Very well written code indeed. Thanks for the links. They could make error management less bug prone by using goto, but it's definitely high quality C code nonetheless.

I think the key point is the amount of energy and resources necessary to make self driving cars a reality. With the ongoing climate change and projected energy crisis, humanity may…

Believe it or not, it's one way or another to formulate a critic, and I'm fine with it. However your strongly worded answer lacks arguments, so color me unconvinced.

As long as Linus is blaming the work done and not the people behind it, that's fine. Something truly aggressive would be "This benchmark is garbage and the people responsible for w…
