Based and Vanilla JS pilled. I know posts like this get a lot of whinging, but you are 100% right. The browser is in itself a platform; frameworks are not like some kind of hyper abstracted Web Scrinting Language for people too important to

Democracy is government of the uninformed, by the uninformed, for the uninformed. Populism is inherent in the whole set up and always has been.

And by democracy they mean... people agreeing with each other and voting for the correct parties: broadband reduced civic participation, eroded social trust, and boosted voting for extreme-right and populist parties in Italy and Germany.

He called a mentally ill man who died a tragic death "a circus freak". It's unreasonable to post an article like that then ask us to speak politely about him.

Because we have spent a lot of time and money using AI to generate code and have been unimpressed with the results. As for why they got accepted so quickly 1) the industry's long running desperation to deskill computer programming 2) t

Questiom for TUI writers - in 2026 is there any terminal emulator that doesn't understand ecma 48 control codes?

I managed to get myself to the point where I could do two slow, deep, controlled pushups in one session. Hence I have genuinely never even noticed, cared, or paid attention to how much a laptop weighs.

by LAC-Tech 4mo ago
The differenxe between a "heavy" and "light" laptop is about 250 grams, or the weight of a single apple. If you can hike all day there is no way you are weak enough for this to even register.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but is the loudness of your keyboard really a big deal in office environments? Like I get if where you work is as quiet as a library, but in most places people are on voice calls, talking to each other ov

I'm a bit of a clicky switch enthusiast. I use gateron melodics, which have a click leaf, meaning the click sound directly corresponds to actuation, unlike most modern clickies. So I am very curious about beam springs. I doubt I would

They are compromised by Israel enough to not come out strongly against it, but not enough that I think they would have gone ahead with it - you need Epstein level blackmail for that.

I put this down to incompetence too. I know this is HN which mostly stakes it's claim on one side of the "culture war", but that is not where I am coming from - incompetence is incompetence, and we see that through the 2024 a

The standard take, including my own from last year, is that these tools amplify senior developers because senior developers have judgment. My take is much less charitable. I think a lot of senior devs are lonely and enjoy talking to chatb

A few comments here suggest rsync is undergoing some "churn" which tbh is highly undesirable for a command line utility. Might switch over. As an aside I really love the stuff openBSD puts out. If they ever succeed in making a mod

People are still letting LLMs generatr code for them? Clankers are for reading code, not for writing it.

At the risk of making a fool of myself in-front of the rest of the class, I will come out and admit I don't know what the article is talking about. > Last summer I spent a lot of time with Typst (at that point v0.11) and Pandoc, wor

Everyone hating on it probably needs to reconsider. Why? IDGAF if Dubai Housewives like it. My world doesn't revolve around what they think.

by LAC-Tech 4mo ago
Yes, but it censors different political things. Which is why I do exactly what you describe.

I review every diff the clanker makes. After a few hours of this I still look at the codebase and think "wtf is this?". I think writing the code is a very important part of understanding it. LLM driven development is like doing ma

I've wanted to do this for general productivty; if I could find a good LLM to give me links I could forgo even a TUI web browser. perfect dev machine. The default linux TTY is pretty barebones though. No unicode, and lots of TUI apps e

As someone who is very left curious/sympathetic recently (though no doubt that only goes one way)... is there not a massive contradiction in how you describe your beliefs? I believe in a better future where we abolish wage-labor and t

Based. I always thought there must have been red-blooded leftists who enjoyed the photos of the politicians cowering on the floor as much as I did. Even if the "wrong people" made them do it.
