Agreed. After an implementation session, I often use: "did you notice any inconsistencies or opportunities to clarify/consolidate parameters or functionality while you were working?" Another strategy that has worked well for

I’d love to give NixOS a try on an old ThinkPad. I’m pretty comfortable with Claude; is it as simple as ask and go, or do you have any suggestions for getting started?

Strongly agreed. He played BlizzCon a few years back and it was my favorite part of the weekend.

Is this HN user runako’s comment[1] from 2 days ago turned into an article? I guess it’s very possible multiple people are coming up with the same idea at the same time but given this was submitted by the author it seems kinda rude not to m

At least some, but let me give an example. Request: “manual step X should not be part of the automated build script” Fulfilled as: build script is now split in two. X is still done as a manual step in between. Rather than prompting and wait

You have said this in a few places throughout the thread. At this point, citation is needed. I work for a real business and switched from API billing to max+overflow. It saves money. It’s crazy not to. What are you talking about?

Not the op, but it’s fairly easy to hit if you automate a kanban and have some stuff you want to get done. All those little “wouldn’t it be great if” tasks that show up after doing a big task become very doable, it just soaks your tokens.

This is exactly why my preferred method at the moment is simple markdown files with instructions. At worst, a human could do it.

Yes, but at this point I'd almost rather have my CC info exposed than my personal info. There is law and consequence for fraudulent charges that protects me from loss (if not inconvenience) but there is basically no protection for play

There was a time when I built games entirely using Visual Studio 6 Edit and Continue. These were the days when debuggers were reliable. Nowadays, I treat the debugger’s output like a best guess: it’s probably right about local variable valu

Thanks for this -- have been using Cody a lot and just tried Windsurf on my hobby project. So far it seems immediately like a step up. Has anyone paid for it? The free version is doing good work.

If a company provides a service for free to enable selling something else, and that something else becomes illegal to sell, then it’s up to the company whether they want to keep offering the free service. They can’t continue doing things th

Congratulations! Happy to hear you describe making an indie mmo as fun and not that hard these days :) Is there a way to interact or chat on mobile?

Any recommendations?

Check out the Winternitz One-Time Signature Sphere10.com/articles/cryptography/pqc/wots Signing many things with one identity is possible by precomputing a Merkle tree, but this takes time and the signatures get big.

Google Apps Script can do all of this. Take the email body and put it into a Google doc, then export the doc as a pdf to drive and attach it from there to send.

Wow, the exact opposite of what I might have guessed from the title. Does this mean percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] is over-applied, or something else?

Another implementation: https://github.com/karlgluck/ThresholdJS This is a very straightforward encoding of a single 256-bit number.

This is a more interesting take to me than others since it seems you’ve actually learned it? I see the response later that you’d rather use whatever the team already uses, but could you explain this very strong opinion? I maintained a 200,0

Yeah—as a TCL fan, I agree. Comparing implementations of common coding tasks with other languages doesn’t highlight TCL’s strengths or, really, its purpose. Personally, TCL fits a niche like QBASIC did. QBASIC was the shortest path from bra

Same. I started building an automated solution for building gamedev environments in VM’s[1] but I can’t help but think there should be a better way. [1] https://github.com/karlgluck/swiss-chocolatey-lab

For years I’ve been pouring through all the apps/platforms like this, but after being burned too many times I am (incredibly) reluctant to tie my second brain to a box that will lock itself unless I pay. Even if it’s just an interface,

That’s what I thought too, until a friend sent me the paper “Class switch towards non-inflammatory, spike-specific IgG4 antibodies after repeated SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination” published a few weeks ago: https://www.science.org&#x2

Can someone remind me why Merkle trees of Lamport signatures aren’t the solution for postquantum asymmetric signing? Sure the signatures are huge, but they’re secure unless you can trivially invert the hash function.

Same thing here--I love this keyboard, and have exactly the same issues. I resort to plugging the receiver into the monitor's built-in USB hub which is 8" away. Would love a wired version too, though.
