The amount of useless griping and sniping on HN has made it a less interesting and resourceful community. Moreso than the flood of AI news. Tagging may not help though. Even the latest Apple product announcement threads were just.. bad. Eve

I cross code and review between Deepseek v4 Flash and Claude Opus/Fable. I will do a full code review of my project with DS 4.1 F later today, but Claude makes a lot of mistakes that DS finds. Claude is slightly more ambitious about wh

Google pushes "password" down 2 layers of their interface. If you really want to use a password to authenticate, it's not always a first class citizen. Both Google and Microsoft call their apps Authenticator, so two identical

I really thought this would be a 12 layer MFA demo showing the absurdity of our current painful & unsustainable MFA trends.

Go research the green house gas emission projections for the end of Biden's term and the projections for Trump's administration. Hand-waving dismissiveness doesn't serve when there were, in fact, significant (and yet not suff

> That's the "stuff they have to deal with"? No. It's the offensive fraud vector coming from unsecured devices that account for a significant portion of the noise. Requiring device profiling aggravates this vector.

They're expecting to IPO bigger than SpaceX later this year. HN's take that they "kill their own company" seems wildly out of touch. Truth is, Sam and Dario and Elon are all terrible and so are their orgs. Leaving any on

Loving openchamber.dev. I have a server set up on a spare, I can run it locally or against the server from my Mac, and I can access the server from my iPhone using the mobile app. Which also lets me drop into terminal.

I wonder how Bending Spoons categorizes their approaches internally. Komoot is much better than the competition and only slightly premium in terms of cost. It seems that some of their platforms they intend to evolve, and others are there fo

You misread the literary conceit of that section. Read the last paragraph. He didn't actually mean that assertion, but he's borrowing a lead-in from Borges. Hence, the balance of his self-admonition of speaking only one language a
