Beat me to it, I was just about to post this. It's a really cool breakdown of what goes into supporting and modernising such old open source software.

I use Firefox, but Mozilla is increasingly eroding user trust and being primarily funded by Google to avoid a monopoly does not give me confidence either. When Google implement an anti-user feature, Mozilla have to begrudgingly implement it

There's never been a better time to switch to Firefox. Hopefully soon we'll have another player in this space with Ladybird but for now, Firefox is almost necessary to use the internet unimpeded. There are also some good Firefox f

(Not a Rails developer, just an outside observer) Isn't Rails highly opinionated with a focus on being batteries-included? I'm not defending the choice to include Zoom but a batteries-included (for better or for worse) distro is e

My current standing desk is a custom desk built from some wholesale parts from Linak and a custom MDF board. When we went to build a similar one for my partner we no longer had access to the same MDF supplier (i.e. my dad's startup), s

Next.js is a poor choice for a client-side application. It is first and foremost a server-side framework, and trying to force it to be client-side is to work against it. There are so many better options than Next.js for dedicated client-sid

In the past I've purchased a rail pass because I figured it'd be more economical but last trip we just got a couple of IC cards and just booked our shinkansen and that was honestly the best experience. The problem with the rail pa

Could be regional - however it's odd that it pops up on old.reddit.com but not reddit.com.

Old Reddit is now completely unusable without an account. Maybe it's time for me to finally stop using it.

I find this struggle with coding too. When Claude spits out a plan I have to really focus to not skim over the details. It's also difficult to parse the plan because I have to work backwards to determine if the high level context match

For those that don't know, this is an initiative started by Louis Rossmann and is largely run by a few volunteers.

Louis is quite vocal about transparency for consumers and openly sharing knowledge for people to be able to do repairs themselves or even set up a competing business.

I built a new main rig in November because I saw the memory prices going up. I overpaid about AUD$110 above its RRP. The same kit is now AUD$610 above RRP from the same retailer. Here's hoping I can wait out the current shortage before

It's a Vercel project, so I assume this is intentional. The steps to get started are to log in with Vercel or add an AI Gateway key.

Hacker news generally follows trends, and this is the current trend. The discussion around coding agents nowadays is steering towards harnesses (which is probably a better description of what this is). "Agent" here is doing a lot

Given Canon is invite-only and most of the article is breaking down the technical implementation, that seems highly unlikely.

I hadn't read this article until now, but I started catching myself using the word at work a few years ago and I've actively been trying to avoid using it for the reasons laid out in this post.

You basically can't. This episode from Syntax[0] shows one provider that he tried to go through to showcase this, and he was fairly certain it wasn't Claude, but of course that was all speculation on his part. [0] https:/&#x

I think the main problem is just that we don't have a standard library across the browser and server. We have to reinvent everything across both domains because we don't have good building blocks unlike Go which, despite my issues

I think that in 2026 Node is a boring technology, but with the fast-moving ecosystem around it if you opt into npm (the registry, not the package manager) it makes it not boring. The things you layer on top of Node via npm could count as &q

I'll have to give it a go to fully understand the use case, but I can't see the value in keeping the work-in-progress artifacts. The sharing aspect is niche, and I could see some use depending on team workflow. I guess it's o

There is never a bad time to learn vim! Not only is it a super useful skill if you end up having to edit a file on a server (and you don't want to deal with nano), it also makes coding fun.

Hey mate, just tried it again and the same issue. Note: this is for Cowork, not sure if that makes a difference, I don't use the desktop app for coding. Claude asked me a question at 12:05pm my time, came back at 12:40 and the question

We use a similar tool at work and it's automatically invited to every meeting. It records, transcribes, and lets you search for something somebody said and when. It is incredibly unsettling.

There is for Claude Code[0], but not for Desktop. It's `askUserQuestionTimeout` and you can set it to `never`. [0] https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings

Having used a bit of a mix of Claude Desktop and Claude Code lately, I discovered that Claude Desktop just times out when it asks you for a decision, and just goes ahead with the action anyway. There is no way to turn this off that I'v

It's pretty bizarre to see them going from being the bot protection platform to differentiating on the kinds of bots they'll block, because now they're facilitating the exact kind of bot automation they made their name pr

I haven't experienced any latency in tmux, so I'm not sure what you're experiencing. For rendering, you may have to change your `TERM` value in your shell. Tmux is highly keyboard driven and I hardly use any graphical applica
