CodeCompost··on Meta Shuts Down End-to-End Encryption for Instagram Messaging
Okay fair enough, Signal's end-to-end encryption is a lot more complex than that but really how is it a terrible end user experience?
CodeCompost··on Meta Shuts Down End-to-End Encryption for Instagram Messaging
How is it a worse experience? It's ridiculously simple: The app sends a public key to the person you're talking to. The end user doesn't even need to notice it. What am I missing here?

I always read the domain "sr.ht" as "Sir Hat"

Am I the only one here who thinks this is intrusive?
CodeCompost··on The AI industry is discovering that the public hates it
You basic income is 12k? Congratulations, your rent just went up 12k a year.
CodeCompost··on Jujutsu megamerges for fun and profit
I was skeptical at first but when I dragged and dropped a bookmark in `gg` then a light went on in my head. Also the fact that jujutsu does everything in "detached mode" locally means that you can't mess up your remote git repo (unless you force push all yolo from git itself, but you're never expected to do that).
CodeCompost··on M 7.4 earthquake – 100 km ENE of Miyako, Japan
Is this the Richter scale? I thought it was obsolete.
CodeCompost··on jj – the CLI for Jujutsu
I like the idea but it feels like more of an attempt to usurp Git than actually solving a problem.
CodeCompost··on Ransomware Is Growing Three Times Faster Than the Spending Meant to Stop It
Thanks, Satoshi
CodeCompost··on Point Cloud Allemansrätten
It's been slashdotted
CodeCompost··on Are We Idiocracy Yet?
The Idiotic Republic of America. There is no god but the Dollar.
CodeCompost··on Decisions that eroded trust in Azure – by a former Azure Core engineer
Azure Functions have been solid for us. No real weird downtimes and if something happens its usually because we did something wrong.

We don't do very complicated things, mainly App Services with Azure SQL and Azure Functions.

Having said that, Microsoft did botch the .NET 8 -> .NET 10 migration for Azure Functions with Consumption Plan. So yeah ... we're beginning to see some of the cracks.

Is this more vibe-coded garbage?
CodeCompost··on EmDash – A spiritual successor to WordPress that solves plugin security

   The cost of building software has drastically decreased.
The arrogance of this statement is staggering.
CodeCompost··on r/programming bans all discussion of LLM programming
I've been hiding them all. Makes the front page look a lot better.
CodeCompost··on [dead]
Just a note for everyone on HN. I am now hiding all LLM related stories like this one and have no regrets. Actually my front page looks pretty good now, with varied and interesting stories like back in the day.
CodeCompost··on A Faster Alternative to Jq
I suspect the website is vibe-coded, like the tool itself.
CodeCompost··on Anthropic Subprocessor Changes
That is significant for us. We have already accepted the risk of using Microsoft Azure so we use GitHub Copilot for that reason.

We have Claude disabled at the moment but if Anthropic has moved over to Azure then we can consider to start using it.

"Accepted the risk", just in case people don't know, is a compliancy term. I don't mean that Azure is risky.

CodeCompost··on White-Collar AI Apocalypse Narrative Is Just Another Bullshit
You jest but this is precisely what we have done. Our customers have downright rejected SCRUM. It is considered a waste of money.

Where's the current World Cup residing now?
CodeCompost··on Ubuntu 26.04 Ends 46 Years of Silent sudo Passwords
How can you stop it asking your password every single time? I asked my LLM and it hallucinated Javascript at me.
CodeCompost··on Our commitment to Windows quality
> For a developer, Linux is far superior for many reasons.

This is precisely why Microsoft created WSL2

CodeCompost··on Why I love FreeBSD
I'd love to move my home server to FreeBSD but I would like to run Immich on it.

Immich assumes you're running Docker and I can't seem to get Linux running in a bhyve VM with Intel Quick Sync acceleration.

CodeCompost··on Vite 8.0 Is Out
Node as a compiler runtime or node as a runtime runtime?
CodeCompost··on Malus – Clean Room as a Service
I know this is satire but we're in the process of rewriting the .NET Mediatr library because ... it's nothing but a simple design pattern packaged as a paid nuget package. We don't even need LLMs to reprogram it.

So the need is real, at least for enshittified libraries.

CodeCompost··on Kotlin creator's new language: a formal way to talk to LLMs instead of English
Yes I'm also one of those LLM skeptics but actually this looks interesting.
CodeCompost··on Two Years of Emacs Solo
Emacs is awesome but customizing it costs me way too much of my precious time.

Wat would be the compelling argument for middle managers who only think of meeting financial targets?
CodeCompost··on Show HN: I ported Tree-sitter to Go
I've seen a lot of "I've ported X to Go/Rust" posts lately. Is it the expectation that we're all supposed to abandon the original projects in favor of the ported versions which use newer and shinier programming languages? Is development going to continue on those new "Go/Rust" ports or are they just one-off karma farming projects?
