SoKamil··on Cloudflare Email Service: private beta
Well, it’s hard to beat 26 years of expertise.
SoKamil··on Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy
I agree with you. But that’s the reality we have to deal with.
SoKamil··on Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy
This sponsorship is very important for the project. Not for financial reasons, but because it gathered recognition from the company that creates much of the critical infrastructure and bot protection services.

Without this recognition, the engine could have been blocked by impassable CAPTCHAs, which for the end user would mean the project is dead at its roots.

SoKamil··on You did this with an AI and you do not understand what you're doing here
Faking grammar mistakes is the new meta of proving that you wrote something yourself.

Or faking generated content into real one.

SoKamil··on How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me
We are kind of both correct.

GP mentioned:

> The title of the blog post currently is:

> > How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me

> The HN title is:

> > How I, a beginner developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me

So GP cut off , a beginner ending which in turn falsified my claim of it being longer, and I didn't verify blog title.

SoKamil··on How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me
The edited one is longer. Why would you want to edit the title to make it longer?
SoKamil··on Sj.h: A tiny little JSON parsing library in ~150 lines of C99
What is the stance of Your Average Corp’s security department on public domain software? Do they accept software under such licensing (or lack thereof)?
SoKamil··on Ultrasonic Chef's Knife
I hate that default click action is mute and that the cursor is replaced with speaker.
SoKamil··on The best YouTube downloaders, and how Google silenced the press

SoKamil··on Hyundai Design Boss Asks: 'Why Do We Need a Screen?'
We need to strike a balance here. A car without any screens would be a regression - big screen for navi is a nice thing to have. However, I like to have physical controls for things that muscle memory can kick in. A/C, gear selector and so on.

There are gray areas in between, for example gauge cluster could be a screen but I vastly prefer physical gauges.

SoKamil··on Want to piss off your IT department? Are the links not malicious looking enough?

I suppose we are talking about user-facing desktop software.

Native UI, blending into OS so you stop noticing it.

SoKamil··on iPhone Air
Footprint to weight ratio is an important factor. S25 Edge weights 163g but it felt noticeably lighter in hand than other phones with similar weight.
SoKamil··on Liquid Glass? That's what your M4 CPU is for
I suppose we have to wait for official release. Beta builds have some debug stuff which makes OS slower. This has always been the case with all previous macOS beta versions that felt slower.
SoKamil··on Liquid Glass? That's what your M4 CPU is for
Has anybody tested it yet? It is computed as GPU shader. I wonder if it is that less efficient compared to frosted glass blur effect that was there for at least a decade.
SoKamil··on CocoaPods trunk read-only plan
Have you worked with Bazel before? Do you have a comparison to Tuist?
SoKamil··on Windows 7 x64 Extended Support Page
It was easier for me to read this .txt version of page. https://trackerninja.codeberg.page/doc/win7eol.txt
SoKamil··on Gemini 2.5 Flash Image
If you commented it a decade ago, I would say that at least you own the program and skills in case Google decides to turn off the lights or ask prohibitive price tag. Now you need to pay subscription for PS and maybe there would be some decent open weight model released.

What if I overfit my LLM so it spits out copyrighted work with special prompting? Where to draw the line in training?
SoKamil··on ZjsComponent: A Pragmatic Approach to Reusable UI Fragments for Web Development
Okay, but what is the reason? I didn't understand it from your comment.
SoKamil··on "The Illusion of Thinking" – Thoughts on This Important Paper
That got me thinking - what if we stripped that conversational sound-like-a-human-be-safe layer and focused RLHF on being best at transforming text for API usages?
SoKamil··on Gemini in Chrome
I wonder how The Browser Company wants to compete with this given infinite Google resources.
SoKamil··on Is It JavaScript?
> It's mostly a shortcoming of javascript/typescript where it would be too annoying to pass down dependencies/props in a long chain of elements

Do you know a language that has solution to this on a language level?

The only similar thing I can think of are dynamic vars in Lisp. At a quick glance they remind me of React Context.

SoKamil··on How Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) rewrites the rules of search
It might be that there are more shovel sellers than gold to mine.
SoKamil··on Migrating away from Rust
How can it compete with vast amount of trained codebases on Github? For LLMs, more data equals better results, so people will naturally be driven to better completion with already established frameworks and languages. It would be hard to produce organic data on all ways your technology can be (ab)used.

Charles, Proxyman, or mitmproxy if you like open source + terminal would do the job.
