Carrok··on Professional software developers don't vibe, they control
Which every AI tool I’m aware of respects and ignores by default.

If you have your PayPal creds in your repository, you are doing it wrong.
Carrok··on Everything as code: How we manage our company in one monorepo
This is probably different between startups and enterprises. My background is purely startups, and I can't imagine not having access to 100% of the code for the company I work.
Carrok··on Singapore study links heavy infant screen time to teen anxiety
From the linked press release (https://www.sgpc.gov.sg/detail?url=/media_releases/astar/pre...)

> Among children whose parents read to them frequently at age three, the link between infant screen time and altered brain development was significantly weakened.

It sounds a bit like the problem might not be so much "heavy screen time" as "heavy screen time, plus no alternative stimulation". Not defending heavy screen time at all, just thought it was an interesting tidbit.

Carrok··on Swapping SIM cards used to be easy, and then came eSIM
I've used one for years now. No issues. Not sure what you're worried about.
Carrok··on I got hacked: My Hetzner server started mining Monero
Many ways. Using a "bastion host" is one option, with something like wireguard or tinc. Tailscale and similar services are another option. Tor is yet another option.
Carrok··on Show HN: I built an interactive HN Simulator
This will almost certainly be used by people to sanity check their HN submissions before actually submitting, very similar to having AI review your branch before submitting a PR.

Here is what it has to say about itself: https://news.ysimulator.run/item/113

Carrok··on Show HN: Lights Out: my 2D Rubik's Cube-like Game
Not to be confused with the other grid based light flipping game, Lights Out, from 1995.

Carrok··on Simple Hotkey Daemon for macOS, Ported to Zig
I use skhd with yabai and custom layers on my keyboard for mouseless window management. It’s worked great until a recent update, I’ll try this out and see if it fixes things. Thanks!
Carrok··on The health benefits of sunlight may outweigh the risk of skin cancer
> That light reflects smoothly off the entirety of the white ceilings. A great combination of very high intensity lighting, that is also gentle, diffuse and calming.

The description from GP, and the photos in the article you linked, seem like polar opposites of each other.

Carrok··on Using Emacs Org-Mode With Databases: A getting-started guide
I basically just wrote my answers in a neighboring comment, but I would try Spacemacs (default is Evil mode aka vim mode) backed with an Obsidian vault. I share a subfolder of the vault with my wife via iCloud, who can open it up on her phone and see the content and make edits in a non-techie way.
Carrok··on Using Emacs Org-Mode With Databases: A getting-started guide
I have been interested in trying emacs for a long time (I recently found an old emacs config file of mine from 2003) but I haven't actually used it until the last few months when I gave Spacemacs another shot. Coming from vim, and having some pretty great defaults out of the box, I wouldn't suggest anyone try anything else at this point.

That said, I'm still trying to wrap my head around how org-mode can work with my existing Obsidian vault. So far it's working pretty well, but I still feel like I'm missing some things to make it really all click together.

Carrok··on I couldn't submit a PR, so I got hired and fixed it myself
Oh wow. Guess I need to get a job at Apple just to add a `Mark all as read` button to voicemails.
Carrok··on US Importers Sued for 'Greenwashing' Mexican Avocados
I'm not OP, but no, I want to pay a fair price for things. I don't mind paying a lot more for avocados if it means no one has to die or be abused to produce them.
Carrok··on Introducing tmux-rs
Use tmuxinator to start multiple ssh/mosh connections.
Carrok··on Open Source Distilling
We know it’s illegal. We don’t care.
Carrok··on A South Korean grand master on the art of the perfect soy sauce
What point are you even trying to make? The difference between gone bad and fermented is pretty obvious, but fine, don’t eat anything fermented if you like.

I’ll be over here enjoying cheese, kimchi, beer, miso, pickles, sauerkraut, etc etc etc

Carrok··on Show HN: Astra – a new js2exe compiler
This whole thread was uncalled for honestly. It takes source, it makes an exe, that meets the definition for compiler to me. Your pedantry is not useful.
Carrok··on Show HN: HN Watercooler – listen to HN threads as an audio conversation
What a completely unhinged knee jerk overreaction. Maybe take a nice walk.
Carrok··on The last RadioShack in Maryland is closing
So because we can't fix every problem, let's do nothing instead. Got it.

We can care about both things.

Given Amazon's labor practices, maybe you should be.

Carrok··on Nvidia on NixOS WSL – Ollama up 24/7 on your gaming PC
This is great work, it solves an exact problem I too am having. Now I just need to upgrade my 12 year old GPUs to something that can run an LLM.
Carrok··on Show HN: Git Game Show – Multiplayer Game in Your Repo
I am equal parts horrified and intrigued. Great work!
Carrok··on Tailscale has raised $160M
As someone who currently has their photo on a company's 'About Us' page, I hate it. Why does anyone care who the nth developer is? Let me just do my job without forcing me to be publicly listed for spammers and scammers to target me.
Carrok··on Rising odds asteroid that briefly threatened Earth will hit moon
I don't know why everyone seems to hate the last 1/3 so much. I find it a very interesting, fresh take on things. I enjoy it every time.
Carrok··on "Final Usonian Home" by Frank Lloyd Wright Completed in Ohio
I don’t know if “usually” is fair. “Sometimes” sure.

TBF what I’m referring to was not part of the building itself and not in need of repairs. It was a walkway area.
