It includes links with explanations, but the page does kind of "fly by" in many cases. At which point, would you still leave? I'm guessing folks have seen enough captcha and CloudFlare verification pages to get a sense that t

I never claimed confusion, but that there is more to "intent" here than what one page of documentation says. I think it's clear the author "desires" or "wants" folks to keep the images. However, I think th

Yeah I had no idea that some folks would get so passionate about making changes to a piece of FOSS based on a request on a certain footer-esque documentation page. I think its a great discussion though that gets to the heart of open source

I'm not aware of any ignorance (feigned or otherwise) on my part or in my comments about my ignoring the author's request. I'm aware that I am doing so and have made that clear and shared with others that also would choose to

I'm surprised to read this from you, somebody I and many others hold in high regard as accepting and knowledgeable, insulting someone's character because they didn't like some specific aspect of your work or opinions or chose

You are correct in that I ignored a specific request, but you are also ignoring the larger social contract of open source that is also at play. To release software with a certain license has a social component of its own that seems to be un

> You ignore the authors words and published intent, and go so far as to undo them I guess I took the MIT license as the author's word and intent. Are you saying their choice of license is not? It clearly outlines that I am free to

While I think you have a point buried in there worth discussing, I simply can't equate me wanting slightly different functionality from MIT-licensed software and making it happen equivalent to these kinds of breakdowns in society. The

If you believe using MIT licensed software is doing so, I suppose? I do not hold that viewpoint, however.

I did so, though I would hardly call using MIT FOSS for my personal projects a breach of the social contract of open source. This was easier than forking, building a docker image, etc. I'm guessing it will be much easier for others, to

My "workaround" for this MIT-licensed software that does not allow me a simple and common customization was to have my reverse proxy redirect requests to the images. https://git.lyte.dev/lytedev/nix/pulls

I'm probably on the wrong side of history and generally think LLMs are way overhyped, but Gemini 2.5 Pro is the first one to consistently impress me for pretty much everything.

I self-host Postgres at home and am probably screwing it up! I do at least have daily backups, but tuning is something I have given very little thought to. At home, traffic doesn't cause much load. I'm curious as to what issues yo

Indeed we have it tough out here. I like the excitement, though, I must say! Funny to find the sentiment here on HN, though!

Reading the article, it looks like they are writing go, so will probably be distributing go binaries.

The same reason you might care about the artist or producer of a song: its context generally implies certain characteristics you might associate and appreciate. For example, most Rust projects use clap which provides really nice command lin

It seems to be squaring up directly against the mac studio with its efficient APU and big memory bandwidth use cases with a cheaper price tag. At least that's the loose sense that I got based on their keynote.

I'm pretty clueless with regards to modern LLM coding tools. What tools make this possible; talking to the computer to change code and whatnot?

I work on tools for other developers!

Not sure but gonna guess power.

Nah the space savings can significantly cut down on bandwidth costs at scale. They'll get (and have been?) pushed by Google and friends for that reason.

I really like Axum. Like... a lot. However, it feels petty weird sometimes as the extractor thing results in somewhat unusual-looking function signatures. Not a real problem and something I'm sure I would appreciate more if I understoo

Obviously what keys to include, what they do, and maybe other choices to make when designing a keyboard is almost entirely subjective, but here's my opinion: Layering, chording, combos, and other methods of producing different keycodes

I ordered my AMD one late in 2023 and love it. It's not perfect as battery life compared to the Apple Silicon MacBooks is simply not a competition, but everywhere else it's close enough for me. Being able to upgrade the screen alr

I have never thought of this and it's brilliant. I should definitely be able to whip up a relatively simple script for tagging arbitrary files with arbitrary tags. I was wondering how to achieve something like this for backup purposes

Not an Apple TV, but I've had a similar experience with a cheap mini PC velcro'd to the back of my TV. A lot cheaper ($30), less plug'n'play, more software options. Pretty fantastic way to go!
