Hi @tabbott I've been meaning to pass this feedback on for 5 months, and I hope it comes across in the spirit it's meant. I tried Zulip (cloud offering) with some techie/designery friends, so we should have been right at home

This reminds me of a SaaS that existed 15+ years ago for PCI-DSS compliance. It did exactly that: you had it tokenize and store the sensitive data, and then you proxied your requests via it, and it inserted them into the request. It was a v

I'm pleased they rename it because grid-lanes opens up more than masonry layouts. I've been waiting to be able to have a fully responsive layout (where interleave sidebar content in with the page content on small screens, but have

I think I've asked this before on HN but is there a language-independent test format? There are multiple libraries (think date/time manipulation for a good example) where the tests should be the same across all languages, but ever

I know, Everything is one of the few pieces of software I've missed when switching to macOS. Cardinal seems to be almost as responsive, except that the current search doesn't update when you delete a file that's in it - you h

I agree about the multi-line blocks Cursor proposes. Like it gets the first two lines right and then after that it's nonsense. I'd rather it stuck with a single line change at a time, and let me press enter before it predicts agai

This is well timed as my wife has lost her educator status, and we've canceled Adobe Creative Cloud this month as we can't stomach the jump from £400 to £800/yr.

Intellij's tab-complete is coming along; it's hit and miss if it will work but for similar edits I'm finding it picks up the pattern quickly and I can tab - tab - tab to make them happen. Still not up to Cursor standards thou

My advice is spin up a small VPS and give it a go :) If it goes wrong, recreate the VPS and try again. Their instructions were fairly good; securing the web interface was the hardest part. AI should solve that for you!

Do you have the ability to block ASNs? I help sysadmin a DIY building forum, and we cut 80% of the load from our server by blocking all Alibaba IPs in ASN 45102. Singapore was sending the most bot traffic.

I've never liked JSX, much prefering HTML like (Vue, Svelte), but I do like this template syntax. On reading it makes sense to me in a way that JSX never did, feeling squashed into the 'language'.
