Hrun0··on More German than many Germans
Your comment relies on a racist double standard. A person should not be judged by their country of origin or held personally responsible for the actions of that country.

> He speaks perfect German, though.

No, Özdemir doesn’t speak perfect German. He speaks German with a heavy Swabian accent, which sounds very rural to the average German.

Hrun0··on I’m spending months coding the old way
I was under the impression that YC startups need to be open source. My bad!
Hrun0··on I’m spending months coding the old way
YC startups still have to be open source though, right?
Hrun0··on AI users whose lives were wrecked by delusion
Yes but I think it's generally how non-technical people use it
Hrun0··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%
I think it was me guys I am [sorry](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47085483#47090853)
Hrun0··on I tried building my startup entirely on European infrastructure
3 days after I said that they are affordable they have increased the prices by 38%.

I wil never say anything nice about Hetzner ever again lol

Hrun0··on Keep Android Open
I have literally never thought about it like this, but I think you are right. In my mind mobile phones were always separate from other devices, kinda like consoles.
Hrun0··on I tried building my startup entirely on European infrastructure
Can confirm on Hetzner. I'm building a SaaS on it right now and had to request a VPS limit increase. I was so worried and carefully crafted my request message. I was bracing for a multi-day back-and-forth but they just... did it in like 10 minutes lol

> The pricing is almost absurdly good compared to AWS, and the performance is solid. If you've never spun up a Hetzner box, you're overpaying for cloud compute.

Yep!

Hrun0··on Billing can be bypassed using a combo of subagents with an agent definition
> +1. I see all these posts about tokens, and I'm like "who's paying by the token?"

When you use the API

Hrun0··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
> China has a huge population that mostly speaks Mandarin.

It's about incentives. The Chinese had to come up with their own solutions because of their firewall.

Maybe it's time for a European firewall?

Hrun0··on Data is the only moat
I find the premise that coding is one of the hardest problem for LLMs flawed. Isn't coding the easiest area for AI, with lots of data to train and easily verifiable?
Hrun0··on It seems that OpenAI is scraping [certificate transparency] logs
Yes, it is very common to change your useragent for web scraping. Mainly because there are websites which will block you just based on that alone
Hrun0··on JSDoc is TypeScript
I’m surprised TypeScript is controversial to some people. Having worked on a large vanilla JavaScript framework, the benefits were pretty clear.
Hrun0··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
> It also reduces your incentive to change, if “the internet is down” people will put down their device and do something else. Even if your web site is up they’ll assume it isn’t.

I agree. When people talk about the enshittification of the internet, Cloudflare plays a significant role.

Hrun0··on Benchmarking Postgres 17 vs. 18
But now you need someone to deal with the hardware.
Hrun0··on How did Renaissance fairs begin?
> Also, Wild Turkey(tm) is native to North America. Kentucky, USA, specifically.

How come Turkeys are called Indians (Hindi) in Turkish then?

Hrun0··on Claude Code is all you need
> "ai is pretty good at design" its really cool thats its functional but am I going crazy or does all this stuff look really bad?

I agree that it's bad. What I noticed using AI was that it tends to introduce gradients whenever you want to make something look nice. Whenever I see a gradient now I immediately assume that it was designed with AI

Hrun0··on Couchers is officially out of beta
That's hilarious I am sorry lol
Hrun0··on As job losses loom, Anthropic launches program to track AI's economic fallout
The future looks bleak.
Hrun0··on Show HN: Chawan TUI web browser
This is really impressive! Do you a have roadmap for upcoming or planned features?
Hrun0··on Show HN: Claude Code Usage Monitor – real-time tracker to dodge usage cut-offs
> Something like this would be great for Cursor, I never know how many credits I’m up to for the month or how much my Max calls are costing.

I think that's by design

Hrun0··on The child-like role of dogs in Western societies
> Don't think scare quotes are appropriate here. Pits are problem dogs; they are the violent schizophrenics of the dog world.

I don't think so.

Hrun0··on A thought on JavaScript "proof of work" anti-scraper systems
Can you name a couple?
Hrun0··on Show HN: I built a modern Goodreads alternative
> I don't know why these sites don't lean into the social angle and weight reviews by social-graph distance.

Goodreads does that though. Reviews from friends and people you follow are shown first

Hrun0··on IBM completes acquisition of HashiCorp
The Nomad team is a big reason why I am using it and I am sad to see you go.
Hrun0··on Musk-led group makes $97B bid for control of OpenAI
How is this bad news for OpenAI?
Hrun0··on Gemini 2.0 is now available to everyone

Hrun0··on React 19
> Maybe if you have a small app. React is as bad as going from angular to angular 2

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Hrun0··on How I write code using Cursor
Oops, yeah you are right
Hrun0··on How I write code using Cursor
I have tried both cursor and cline (formerly continue dev), and I don't seem to see the incredible performance boost using cursor like a lot of people say
