I've used simpler agents like Copilot and Devin/Windsurf/Cascade/whateveritiscallednow, mainly in IntelliJ, and depending on the model, they starts showing behaviour that is at least remotely like this. Example: put the

Hey, this is my blog, thanks for sharing! I've been finding myself increasingly annoyed by non-coding managers thinking AI is going to bring 190% reduction of cost, or will replace entire divisions of coders. It's a helpful tool,

I've used it for 15 years and ST is still the first thing I install on a new PC. All thoughts, meeting notes, journals, blog post drafts... everything is jotted down in ST first. I even went as far as writing my own to-do list syntax h

Exactly. A video on YouTube posted '1 month ago' is not the latest episode I'm looking for. Much quicker to interpret than a timestamp. Sometimes a fuzzy date is enough. Especially being from Europe: it is never clear if 10&#

The apps do, but the website does not. music.google.com used to have native support, but to cast music.youtube.com you have to cast the tab, which is far less than perfect. (Instead of streaming directly from the CDN to the chromecast, cast

And still no Chromecast support.

Makes sense. The principle of 2FA is to combine 'something you know' (a password) with 'something you own' (your phone). I guess the biometric lock is 'something you are' on top of that.

I agree with this comment completely. Adding a biometric lock would turn it into 3FA. Not sure if HN allows to plug your own apps, so please forgive: I made an app a while ago that aims to replace Google Authenticator for some of the reason

That's a plastic 'Flippo'. Similar to cardboard milk caps but they came in bags of potato chips and are made of plastic.

Not necessarily dark though... as an app developer I'd actually really want to hear the feedback from the people who dislike my app. As in any business, oftentimes the most disgruntled customer is the one that can provide the most us

I've used Xamarin for several projects and I greatly regret that decision. Granted, most of my hatred is targeted towards Xamarin Studio and Xamarin.Forms so if you use Visual Studio and build only native UIs then maybe your experience

Thanks! I didn't know that, but I'll check it out. Thanks!

Hi, and thank you for Wallabag! I've been happily using the self-hosted version for quite a while now. At some point I forked[1] the Android app but development stalled when I needed an API to be able to improve the app further. So thi

Ah, thanks, that makes sense.

I think what they mean is that you don't have to type any javascript yourself, such as setting onclick-listeners. At the top of the page it reads "CSS powered (jQuery fallback)", however, if jQuery fails to load (e.g. when vi

We prefer native 99% of the time. Performance of HTML is easily outmatched by native on both iOS and Android, and the multi-platformness of HTML is usually limited if you want to adhere to UX guidelines and conventions that are platform spe

Ironically enough, I went to log in to HN specifically to upvote comments in this thread, forgot my password and had to use the 'email yourself a new password' function. Granted, it sends a randomly generated password. And granted: it's pro

When I was young my dad's computer had Office with a localized version of VBA, in Dutch. If I'm correct it was Office 95. I've tried to use it for a while but it was horrible; even as a non-native English speaker I couldn't get used to the

I like the reasoning behind this and I really welcome the simplicity of giving feedback, but the way it is implemented here does not really make things clearer. The link makes me think I'll get a simplified summary of the paragraph, instant

Coincidentally I've asked a question about login system just two days ago ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4225270 ) where I mentioned BrowserID as one of the options. Apparently I hadn't properly checked out BrowserID/Persona because

Thanks! I didn't think about LastPass, but since the website will be targeted (mostly) towards a hacker crowd it makes sense that many of the users will use a password manager like LastPass. I'm not a LastPass user myself but I guess that t

This is not a website with a searchable archive, but it collects websites that send you an email saying 'you just signed up and this is your password': http://plaintextoffenders.com/
