1f60c··on OpenAI should build Slack
FWIW, they do: https://openai.enterprise.slack.com/

I think GP is referring to the name of the site, which sounds like "cash money" if you pronounce it with a thick American accent.
1f60c··on Claude Code is being dumbed down?
Hmm, honestly I'm not so sure. Many devs seem extremely price-sensitive and the switching cost is... zero.

If Anthropic do something you don't like, you just set a few environment variables and suddenly you're using the Claude Code harness with a local model, or one of thousands available through OpenRouter. And then there is also OpenCode. I haven't tried this, but I'm not worried.

1f60c··on Claude Code is being dumbed down?
Thariq (who's on the Claude Code team) swears up and down that they do not do this.

Honestly, man, this is just weird new tech. We're asking a probabilistic model to generate English and JSON and Bash at the same time in an inherently mutable environment and then Anthropic also release one or two updates most workdays that contain tweaks to the system prompt and new feature flags that are being flipped every which way. I don't think you have to believe in a conspiracy theory to understand why it's a little wobbly sometimes.

1f60c··on Another GitHub outage in the same day
Wait, what? So you're on the hook for backups, upgrades, etc. and you have to pay them for the privilege? I thought GitLab was free as in speech and beer.
1f60c··on Another GitHub outage in the same day
That does seem to be the implication, yes. :D

IME this all started after MSFT acquired GitHub but well before vibe coding took the world by storm.

ETA: Tangentially, private repos became free under Microsoft ownership in 2019. If they hadn't done that, they could've extracted $4 per month from every vibe coder forever(!)

This is pretty interesting but why not just pay the 20 bucks?

I also love argv[--argc]. Evil genius.

And it's fully legit (from the draft C standard, 5.1.2.2.1, § 2 "Program startup"):

> The parameters argc and argv and the strings pointed to by the argv array shall be modifiable by the program, and retain their last-stored values between program startup and program termination.

1f60c··on Cowork: Claude Code for the rest of your work
Anthropic blog posts have always caused a blank page for me, so I had Claude Code dig into it using an 11 MB HAR of a session that reproduces the problem, and it used grep and sed(!) to find the issue in just under 5 minutes (4m56s).

Turns out that the data-prevent-flicker attribute is never removed if the Intellimize script fails to load. I use DNS-based adblock and I can confirm that allowlisting api.intellimize.co solves the problem, but it would be great if this could be fixed for good, and I hope this helps.

I think you meant the Measure app, but yes. I hate it so much.

I set up Raycast (https://www.raycast.com/) with the same keybinds as Magnet (https://magnet.crowdcafe.com/) because I learned those first and haven't looked back.

Me too, made me chuckle :)
1f60c··on Changes to Android Open Source Project
I checked and it's indeed the translation Google Translate gives for "Use the Android operating system to power your device."

Gemini 3 Pro offers "Nutzen Sie die Power von Android für Ihr Gerät." as a modern, tech-savvy alternative, as well as more literal translations that correctly recognize the idiom.

At this point I'm just hoping Cook (who bears ultimate responsibility) or Ternus will see the error of his ways, but I'm not holding my breath. I doubt they understand what's wrong with this or that they even know about the HIG.

IDK if they could bag this kind of grant every year, but isn't this the scale where cloud hosting starts to make sense?

1f60c··on Public Sans – A strong, neutral typeface
No, looks like it was started late in Obama's second term. As for the current guys, they would probably use Instrument Serif for body text if they could.
1f60c··on No strcpy either
I think the submission originally had a typo ("strpy", with no C)

I have to say, that is some excellent sleuthing.

1f60c··on Beginner Guide to VPS Hetzner and Coolify
You're wrong.

You don't need to open any ports to use Tailscale, and its job is to a) get nodes to connect directly or b) shuttle jibber-jabber encrypted with nodes' private keys from point A to point B and back again through Tailscale-owned distributed servers. Tailscale only sees the traffic it needs and nothing else. It's free because it's "cost-effective" to run and because it can rely on word-of-mouth marketing because it solves a really complex problem in an elegant way, which makes enterprise customers want to pay for it.

Not changing the root password is correct, because at least on Ubuntu, it has been locked, meaning the only way to use it is through sudo or SSH keys (common during initial server setup). Setting a password for root and using su has no benefits over using sudo and comes with significant downsides, because it is unauditable.

1f60c··on Beginner Guide to VPS Hetzner and Coolify
> Change root password

Don't do this; just create a new user and give it sudo privileges.

The utility of changing the SSH port is debatable, but it would lead to less noise in logs. Also, instead of limiting SSH connections to a source IP, you might consider putting the server behind Tailscale and only allowing incoming SSH connections over its interface: https://tailscale.com/kb/1077/secure-server-ubuntu (this also solves the logs problem)

1f60c··on Code Mode: the better way to use MCP
> a tool I can use locally

https://blog.cloudflare.com/code-mode/#or-try-it-locally :-)

Though AFAIK Wrangler is really only intended for development and not local deployment.

1f60c··on Scammed out of $130K via fake Google call, spoofed Google email and auth sync
There are some weird things (like the fact that Google doesn't tend to call the owners of consumer-level accounts and the fact that the email is phrased very oddly), but wow.

I wonder, though, did "Norman" just guess you had tens of thousands in crypto lying around, or was this step two of a phishing attack?
