Yesterday I asked both claude and gemini to downgrade a package on manjaro and both failed miserably I use these tools a lot and I would say they fail 50% of the time for my use cases and I baby them every step ”Is it just me” is such a fla

This is my experience too, I can burn $20 on a big refactoring in a few hours no problem A lot of the time (when it works) I think its easily worth the money, but I would quickly break their $100 a month budget

Its pretty clear at this point that people want this kind of control implemented, its in the ”zeitgeist”. I have not figured out why, but it does seem that people are more scared then ever. Its a bit weird on HN where people generally under

Yeah me neither, I think the CSS being cool and hard to use was the real reason. People like being ”elite”, and tables were just dead simple. I am surprised people here still hold on to that era of CSS. There are even people in the comments

This would put anthropic in the business of minimizing the context to increase profits, same as Cursor and others who cheap out on context and try to RAG etc. Which would quickly make it worse, so I hope they stay on api pricing Some base u

Yeah the amount of disrespect of developer time they show here is crazy. You could have made the billing api backwards compatible for 10 years, its a super small api, but instead they force breaking changes every couple of years Maybe it is

I also have my own vscode extension for luau debugging, still have not moved to the type system due to lack of any decent class typing But the debugger is so good, I dont know any other debugger with such low overhead in any language

Without the work of the author this bug would still not be fixed. So credit for that work (which seemed quite involved) would be fair and natural, no? I am surprised and a bit sad at so many comments questioning the author

You still cant really teach it your code base, context window is too small, fine tuning doesnt really fit the use case, and this RAG stuff (retrieve limited context from embeddings) is a bit of a hack imho. Fingers crossed we are there soon

Seems this is about people skills. Some people are weird and annoying and you have to find ways to thrive even with their presence, or move to another project as others are suggesting Many different ways of dealing with it, - from not respo

I also have a custom domain on fastmail that seems to end up in the spam folder of people using outlook in an enterprise setting. Kind of unsettling. I have never had it happen in any other case that I know of. But I’m pretty sure I have go

Yes I'm relieved to see what I consider a level headed response. I hope that I am right and we will of course see. I remember reading a quote from our "public health authority guy" something like "it's obvious that

I noticed yesterday for the first time that there is starting to be some discussion about the damage caused by the lockdowns. Before that I was amazed that no one was interested in even discussing it. So there seems to be a trend of people

Thank you! I cannot count the number of times I have had a CMake problem and had the usual inclination to try to understand the framework behind it, only to be stonewalled by the seemlingly complete lack of context in the documentation. I h

I dont have much to add I’m afraid (feel free to downvote me) but I’m quite intrigued of the HN reaction to this thing. The smartest people in the world (kind of) are also just scared I guess. The usual coolheaded rationalism seems for the

I'm a DO customer. I tried to figure out what running a windows server would cost on Azure once (since DO doesn't provide windows). I didn't manage to figure it out after like 20 minutes, and the complexity was just mind blow

After failing with Heroku we migrated to using Dokku on DO. And yes it is more work to do it ourselves, I didn't want to do that but here we are :) It was not a lot of work, dokku is really nice, but it was/is some work. I was hop

I'm a customer on DO as a small business (mobile game). I wanted some linux servers that I have control over, and I wanted a managed database where someone does backups for me. I also wanted simplicity and a nice UI. I didn't even

I feel your pain, and I have a hard time processing the other comments here, I just really want to empty my terminal buffer, its really useful. In the game I’m building I have a quake style ”dropdown” console and clear() was very easy to im

I have rarely if ever ”confirmed” something in a config file. confirmFontSize = 12 ? Naming things is hard :)

It was very clean and impressive work, but the longer I watched the more I realized how disconnected I feel from all these weird "apps". - Music player without connection to the real world (spotify/youtube) - Notes app withou

Surveys like that don't work very well. The same people would probably also have been "fine" with their own office. Many people just want to get along, and enduring this and that is something that we learn all the way from ch

Imagine removing the camera layer and drive yourself using those lines and boxes, without perceiving the "actual" world at all. Which is what the AI is doing. It seems completely terrifying to me :)

I don't think we will sit at our computers writing code in the same way a hundred years from now. It just feels very inefficient to me, it's a good abstraction for now but better will come, new paradigms that probably look radical

I have worked professionally with Java, C#, C++, Javascript, Python, PHP and Lua. Guess which is my favorite language? :) I think I might prefer something like Kotlin or a good lisp to Lua but I have not used them as extensively. Lua is jus
