Hm, the main headache I have with .env files is simply that I lose them (switching between machines etc...), or the trouble of sharing secrets with team mates, etc... The headache …

I feel like these days it's more like managing a team of seniors who are technically very competent, but may not always have the full domain context of the problem they're solving.…

What does "scanning" mean though? Does this mean every parent has to now make sure not to take pictures of their children playing in bath for instance, in order not to trip these s…

For ages I've been looking for a way to easily share & sync a simple knowledgebase (HTML/MD and other files in folders) with my team (= including non-technical people), using Git a…

I literally wrote how I measure this in the post you are replying to: #commits which is admittedly a worthless proxy for productivity, so, more importantly, number of finished prod…

> Seriously, what value are tokens providing other than justifying layoffs Like the OP said, it's incredible how polarizing this debate is. When I read comments like yours, I feel …

Isn't this just an artifact of their chain-of-thought reasoning? If they are verbose in their output, it's more likely the next word predicted is actually correct. Also, I see this…

You could also use plain markdown files, any free Markdown editor/IDE, and git, and sync with a remote Git repo using gcrypt for encryption (git-remote-gcrypt). It's just a bit of …

This question seems to be asked almost annually on here (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=successful%20one-person%20online%20businesses&sort=byPopula…

The 2% of cases when you need the commit log (or more importantly: someone else who inherits your code...) justifies writing good messages imho. If you make a change to your codeba…

Cool, but I wonder... is this really a feasible workflow? The way I use LLMs is, I enter a very specific query, and then I check the output, meticulously reviewing both the visual …

It definitely makes me lose interest and trust in software that is openly described as being "vibe-coded". I'm with the vibe of wanting to move on to the point where LLMs are just …

I'm sure that would work out fine. Just like the GDPR regulation made the web so much better & more private, and the promise of the AI act is boosting innovation in Europe...

Exactly. So many local first libs don't cover this that it makes me wonder if the applications I am typically working on are so fundamentally different from what the local-first de…

I'd highly recommend to add an "LLM Cheatsheet" page to your docs. Example: https://goatdb.dev/llm-cheatsheet/ No doubt this would help increase adoption these days, and make imple…

Radar-based device for measuring athlete sprint & agility tests. A lot of professional sports clubs, S&C coaches, etc.. use timing gates for measuring sprints, but those are a pain…

There's this on the Bitcoin blockchain: https://opentimestamps.org

Meh, pretty basic. Most SaaS businesses have something like this in place already. Closing inbound leads is relatively easy, since they've already shown active interest... The chal…

Probably yes, but his internal state doesn't matter, as long as the outcome is line with their original mission of open sourcing again :)

Why not? Someone changing their mind, showing repentance for past mistakes, and making corrective action ought to be a good thing.

Awesome! The name is just a bit funny if your native tongue is Dutch.

Honestly, it just highlights how little traction Bluesky has. We tried it within our company's niche, but it's like a desert. Feeds that rarely get updated. 0 engagement. What's th…

I'd happily pay a fixed fee for a self-hostable desktop app version of this, that just uses Ollama/ChatGPT/Claude for the LLM part. Ideally open source too. But yet another subscri…

You say you don't say anything about what we as a society should do about it, but it's definitely implied... or can be seen as such. Especially because it's quite a colored opinion…

I like monorepos as a developer, but as a founder, monorepos have one massive downside: if you want to hire outside help, you have to share everything . While in some cases, the co…
