Anchors are so, so useful. Buildkite (which has its own CI pipelines syntax) is a good example. Let’s say I want every pipeline step to run on my custom agents (on my self-hosted infra). I could either copy/paste an identical “agents”

I’ve seen this in a ton of video players. This is an especially bad example. But it’s so common for the entire top third of the screen to be blurred or darkened just to display a single small UI element in a corner. Stupid design. The reaso

I mean, JavaScript doesn’t even have APIs for reading a file from disk, let alone executing an arbitrary binary. (Anything similar comes from a runtime like NodeJS.) You can’t access memory in different JS processes… so what would make it i

The time has come. The nx supply chain attack a couple weeks ago literally exfiltrated admin tokens from your local dev machine because the VS code extension for nx always downloaded the latest version of nx from npm. And since nx is a mono

Disagree. AUR isn’t any trickier than using pacman most of the time. Install a package manager like Yay or Paru and you basically use it the same way as the default package manager. It’s still the same problem, relying on the community and

JavaScript is a very secure language. The browser is a massive success at running secure JavaScript on a global scale. Every website you use is running JavaScript and not able to read other site data. Electron is the same, running v8 to san

It does have functions for that, “fetch” and “JSON.parse,” available in most JS runtimes.

Lodash is a good counterpoint, but it’s falling out of style since the JS runtimes support more basic things now. JS apps, despite the HN narrative, have a much stronger incentive to reduce bundle/“executable” size compared to most oth

(This about iOS, not Mac, but obviously a lot is similar.) I might be in the minority on hn, but I’m using iOS 26 for the first time today and am pretty happy with the new design. For one, it’s a lot snappier and faster. I’m glad they final

iOS, and probably plenty of other operating systems, converts that into dash automatically by default. 2x “-“ > “—“ So that’s just a bad signal

But this is the problem, if you type double “-“ on iOS, it just turns it into an emdash. (“—“)

The nx supply chain attack via npm was the bullet many companies did not doge. I mean, all you needed was to have the VS Code nx plugin installed — which always checked for the latest published nx version on npm. And if you had a local sess

I think it’s a bit of both. It’s very important to struggle with a problem yourself. You need your brain to be thinking about it, turning it over, at least for a bit. But when you’re new on a topic, it can take hours to nail the solution

That’s exactly what this is though, it’s giving you the precise “incantation” you need based on what you’re trying to do. Like “list 20 biggest files in current directory”

There’s no proof the Tesla robot will ever amount to anything. As one example, the boring company & the Tesla loops in Vegas are pathetic.

Exactly. Before I was diagnosed with ADHD, I was experiencing severe executive function. Just nearly no ability whatsoever to do things I wanted to do, even if they were fun. But had big impacts in terms of friendships (not actively trying

Passkeys is not security theatre, and also not a UX pain if you use a password manager. Turns out it’s nice to have a standardized API for submitting a credential to a website rather than relying on browser extensions to hopefully guess the

Agreed, my wife even says 1Password is one of the best tech things I’ve set up just because it completely solves sharing passwords and stuff with each other.

That basically does exist, and it’s called SSO. SSO providers (eg Okta) have a unified dashboard where you can control who can access what, and at what level, and can revoke access any time. It’d be nice if there was a version of that for f

You hit the nail on the head too. Coding itself is very easy for anyone halfway decent in this career — and yet there were a ton of people in CS101 and even in later courses who struggled with things like for loops. It was very hard for the

I remember using the internet 15 years aho, and things were definitely slower. I also wasn’t using the internet to run full-blown spreadsheets and design tools back then. My M series Macs are the snappiest computers I’ve used (minus my desk
