The author is in the same groove I’m in this week. After a new kindle jailbreak dropped, it unlocked the ability for codex to knock out a kindle mini vmac Macintosh emulator port in a weekend. I expect to get my openwrt router doing great

i think i'd buy a $279 refurbished steamdeck and a bag of usb-c sensor-widgets from aliexpress. ...In fact I did. I plug my flipper zero into it sometimes, too.

I use it but not for daily coding/chatops-ing. It’s great to have my chosen tools available from slack while I’m mobile though. Yesterday Mr claw gave a coworker read access to a GitHub repository at my command while I was in line

is the only way to export the results "run in daemon mode and curl yourself"?

I commented here already about deli-gator ( https://github.com/ryancnelson/deli-gator ) , but your summary nailed what I didn’t mention here before: Context. I’d been re-teaching Claude to craft Rest-api calls with c

The uptake on Claude-skills seems to have a lot of momentum already! I was fascinated on Tuesday by “Superpowers” , https://blog.fsck.com/2025/10/09/superpowers/ … and then packaged up all the tool-build

This really resonated with me, it's echoing the way i've come to appreciate Claude-code in a terminal for working in/on/with unix-y hosts. A trick I use often with this pattern is (for example): 'you can run shell

is anyone going to point out that the linked website is absolute AI-generated ad-filled slop? or is this just a comments thread starter for "hey, morse code, right?"

I wonder if it's entirely coincidental that "KIRO" is a Seattle-area (amazon land) television station.

the irksome bit was this: lodash's page, first sentence, says "A modern JavaScript utility library delivering modularity, performance & extras." this github's readme says "alternative to lodash". other t

No I’m asking a commercial that pops up in what I’m watching and says “ask your doctor if ciallis is right for you.” and gives no context but someone washing their tesla.

Biggest pain point: wtf is lodash? I don’t care if it’s in your readme, but maybe tell us in your HN hype post

i love this. A startup I was at during early COVID times got acquired into Hewlett Packard Enterprise, so we all became HPE employees with HPE addresses. There was a similar form there to request "ryancnelson"@hpe, etc... One

awesome. nothing on thingiverse has ever search-matched for "ADM-3a" for me. cheers!

I would love it for some kickstarters to lean into what this product is actually selling: the retro design. Seriously: build this, but shaped like a Lear ADM-3A ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADM-3A ) , and TAKE MY
