Yep. Exact same take here. I have a private harness I actually integrated GitHub Copilot Chat support with, but you lose an "entire months" credits with any nominal task. They knew what they were doing and wanted to kick people of

I'm a regular Joe, but finance screens seem like pure wank to me. If you work a desk in NYC, maybe it's a different story, and even then probably not, but if you're some bum nobody from LA with a little bit of money to throw

We must create new stories for good so that evil has something to steal! We're running out of unironic irony!

Previously $0 using local models, then $10/mo with GitHub Copilot, cancelled that when it became a bad deal, now $10/mo with OpenCode Go. I haven't seen a better deal than OpenCode Go yet. You get more in token spend than wit

Public education is clearly nonexistent. Just incredible. Did these people just sit and do nothing for their entire grade school education? An elementary school child learns what imperialism, war, and human nature is.

Ah right, you mean people’s banking data, medical records, and other sensitive information should be freely handled by offshored labor with no qualifications right, right. Let’s take a look at the industry’s track record for data breaches.

Maybe consider adding a live screenshot. "Beside the macOS Dock" is vague. What happens when your dock is the entire length of your desktop?

Yeah, we should let H1Bs take everyone's jobs, not just software engineers! Great idea, Bob!

I don't want this, but I do get what you're saying. What I really want is software engineers in our industry to stop behaving like such idiot losers who are begging to be jobless and give everything away for free. Doctors protect

All the weird stuff I have read about C or C++ doing over the years could be summed up with “Well… don’t do that.” Like almost without fail. I can’t even think of how you’d end up in a scenario like this because a compiler would complain be

Fellow readers, would anyone please mind sharing their current experiences? qwen3.6-35b-a3b for local inference, GitHub Copilot Chat was previously worth it, and no longer is, tried OpenRouter and still read through their rankings to see wh

I have an appreciation for people who keep going. Sometimes it doesn't really matter how long it takes you to learn something. I've found it's more valuable to see what you'd do with that knowledge.

DirectX 12 isn't just much more like Vulkan, it's so shockingly similar, it's basically Vulkan. It's jarring when you read it for the first time because you ask yourself why it even exists, but a second later, you realiz

In the event this helps a random developer with some fun experimentation: I had once accidentally independently reinvented drunken pathfinding by adding random additional weights to the node costs, which has the side effect of making an obj

Where else are people frequenting? The crowd here has changed, and I'm not what HN is now. Maybe I never was. I know a lot of people are saying much of social media has moved into private chats, Discord and such, but I'm just curi

I don't think power law distributions are the same thing. However, actually, in different fields, power law distributions are descriptive enough you can use them as targets for abstract criteria.

Better to have made imperfectly and learned than to not have made at all. :)

Thank you for your work on Ninja. It's just really good.

Skin is so interesting as a surface to think about how light passes through and bounces off of. There is at least one article published by a technical artist at Pixar who describes modeling a skull within a human scan so that subsurface lig

Seems like we could lead in AI development, and then immediately get trounced by economic factors. But yeah, autonomous cars, solar infrastructure, hell, general education. The most frustrating one is Xi Jinping saying 房子是用来住的，不是用来炒的, or &q

I think YC has an image problem. With its companies, and here, too.

I haven't personally seen it, but I think us operators need to take entire registered ranges and hook 'em up to fail2ban. Maybe maintain lists of offenders and document it and block these orgs. That is, I haven't personally s

People are building state-of-the-art harnesses in private right now that outperform the average developers' harnesses, people using Claude Code, OpenCode, etc.

They all use the same pill glowy status light header eyebrow to immediately tell you they have no actual design skills and follow the herd. Posers took over the industry.

I've repeatedly said this almost year after year, but Servo is not a "real" project. It's weird, but whatever the case is, after it left Mozilla, it has clearly oriented around being governance focused and not helping ac

I think the small community stuff is useful, even on the scale of HN, which is only small when you think about the regulars posting, which people recognize. Now that we have functional distributed social networks, I want a system that aboli

I always feel like stuff like this is more or less intentional. Projects make their priorities known based on the priorities of their work.

Reminds me of telling employees to not discuss their wages. If voting here is such a toxic experience, maybe HN needs to wake up and smell the garbage.
