I feel like many of the comments are skeptical or dismissive but this seems like a really clever idea. So many classic textbooks use pseudocode to get the gist of an algorithm across, so this isn’t an unprecedented level of abstraction to b

Tangled feels like the future but it seriously needs private repos ASAP to capture the momentum of the current GitHub exodus.

Oof, was just replying to the comment above and didn’t check the age. There’s no silver bullet, unfortunately

Would be nice if there were a hn feature, userscript, or plugin to just filter comments from new accounts. Bonus if there was some sentiment analysis or llm-based analysis to filter out unsubstantiated inflammatory comments too.

no affiliation, just want to say exe.dev is amazing! They got all the primitives right and it’s changed the way I approach starting new projects.

Random naive thought, could I use this to backup and version all of my user data? E.g. just point Lore at my ~/Documents folder and call it a day? I'm sure there's some scalability constraint but I have music projects, game p

Thanks for the level-headed response. Agreed, "blame the kings" is also an overly simplistic take. There's rarely a single entity to blame. Just wanted to bring some nuance to the hate getting thrown around here. Redirecting

This is a pretty uncharitable perspective. Most folks I know working at Meta or Amazon aren’t morally bankrupt. They just have kids, debt, poor parents with health problems, etc. They work at Meta to support their loved ones. And it’s not l

This misses the point that parent was making. The conversation shouldn’t be “move your data to countries you can trust”. It should be “use protocols that don’t require trust in the first place”.

I’ve had the same thought and would love this. MacOS shortcuts are too deeply ingrained in my fingers. But every attempt of mine to make Linux shortcuts Mac-like has had too many sharp edges to be useable. Toshy didn’t seem to work well wi

It’s kind of wild to read through these comments and realize hn is still riffing on the same ideas. Is it e2ee? Does it run on Linux? Who would pay for something you can slap together in a weekend with a few bash scripts? Really highlights

Regardless of the intent, it was poorly executed and highlights security gaps inherent in the distribution model of browser extensions.

Agreed. Times are tough. Open source is under-appreciated. People are going to crack and slip up like this. We’re only human.

I did webdev for a long time, so yeah. If you want the story, I was looking into guix on asahi and ended up on https://www.asahi-guix.org/ which didn’t load anything, so I checked the page source and noticed the element.

Noticed a suspicious element called give-freely-root-bcjindcccaagfpapjjmafapmmgkkhgoa in the chrome inspector today. Turns out about a month ago, the popular open source [JSON Formatter chrome extension]( https://chromewebstore.go

Good points. What local models have you found work best for your use cases? I feel like if we get to opus 4.6 level intelligence running on local hardware, we’re in the clear for a lot of day to day use cases.

Definitely interested! I've reinstalled Fedora Asahi Remix several times on my old M1 after fiddling my way into a broken state. NixOS sounds like a tinkerer's dream but getting started is a bit intimidating.

Thanks for sharing. Much better source.

This is smart and a good first step. Everyone can't be trusted to do the security dance flawlessly, though. We need sane defaults. Least privilege by default for 3rd-party code. Deno's headed in the right direction with this. But

Totally agree with all of your comment. To solve for structured data instead of everyone writing parsers, I’ve enjoyed using nushell (not affiliated, just love the idea). https://www.nushell.sh/ It’s like powershell but not

Huh? Zed's vim emulator is one of the best I've used in an IDE. Saying it's an afterthought feels disingenuous. I'm pretty sure some of the core zed devs are big vim enthusiasts.

I'd never heard of this effect before but it reminds me of a feature I've aways wanted for ios which is, in order to unlock your phone, you need to type in what you're planning to do (and maybe for how long), so you can refer

Is there an SRS app or Anki feature that takes into account your reaction time when answering a card? I've wanted to use Anki for things like speeding up mental arithmetic but Anki doesn't seem to have a feature for measuring and

Does the local underscore variables feature solve this? Or the approach outlined in the plots tutorial? IMO, not allowing redeclaration is more valuable than supporting this use case. A slight paradigm shift away from your example gives you

I love this! I usually use the UG iPhone app which isn't great, so if this is PWA-abble, I'd be stoked. The biggest issue I have with UG is that it can't be used offline. Often I'm out camping or something and just need

Not even if it were self-hostable, open source with an MIT license?

I've had similar ideas and have tried little scripts that do this. It's a start but I think the crucial issue is the format and ui of calendar apps. It doesn't feel durable or easily searchable. And they've been seemingl
