It looks like it solves a problem I have, but how does it do that? Just disable sleep? Or does it actually detect activity (and if yes, how and which apps are supported)?

Interesting. I tried it with two real-life tasks that I usually would use Claude Code for (I prefer using it with the VSCode extension, not CLI). 1. First thing I noticed was the l…

I agree that it makes sense on that page. But only because the rendering of the page is completely under the control of the author, and the page shows only that one page. It's diff…

> We accept that sentences can have formatting, and headings can have formatting, so why shouldn’t titles? 1. Because there are things you can obviously not put in a headline. Like…

I guess it's like you can't transform XML with JSON-T :) Seriously, yes, the really old XSLT does not support JSON. But these days it is much easier to find tools that read or writ…

I agree that Atom is easier to use and better defined in some ways. But why on earth would you want to put unrestricted HTML in the title in the first place? How is a reader suppos…

As far as I know, only Downread (disclaimer: my beta app) has that: https://feeds.downread.com/signup?i=hn-c-32513232 You can select a max number of posts per feed, max age and ena…

This looks great. Installed it because I may need something like this soon. And at that price, I wouldn't think twice about buying it if it does what I need (record iPhone apps and…

I have also thought about things like that. I'm currently working on a mainstream-focused RSS reader that comes with a large feed catalog and a feed-spider mechanism: when a site l…

I keep hearing that "the web is broken". But how exactly? What parts are broken in a way that makes it worse than it used to be at some point? I think people who write this just gl…

I have recently begun starting emails with "human here"...

You can use a more nuanced approach. What I did in the last systems I created: 1. The JWT expiration depends on the user. Admins get only 1 minute or so, but regular users 1 hour. …

I wouldn't be here if I hadn't somehow obtained and read Accidental Empires as a kid. Still no empire of my own though :(

I wonder whether there is any tool that can prevent npm from downloading any package that has been published in the last month. While I miss out on possible fixes, this would preve…

They probably didn't even think about that. Admittedly, 4GB is quite big, but if I were in their shoes, I would have expected that people are thrilled about using a local LLM inste…

Why? The AI assistance in Chrome dev tools is really useful. And I also use Google AI mode all the time.

> You want to grab all you can during excess production/very low prices periods and then use that for the rest of the day. Batteries help, but even that is limited in northern coun…

As soon as everybody is paying spot prices, balcony power stations are not economically viable anymore. Even today, on a sunny day, spot prices for electricity are either very low …

Over the last 12 months, AI agents have become dramatically better. And in the last 3 months, they have reached a point where, with some light guidance, they can write 100% of the …

The ST had some awesome productivity programs. Tempus Word, Papyrus, Calamus... All running on a 8 Mhz computer with 1 or 2 MB, but with feature sets that do not need to hide from …

That's more in the range of dozens or even hundreds of conventional man-years.
