TheRoque··on Smartphone market forecast to decline this year due to memory shortage
IOS or safari issue then, I also have 12GB ram on my S25+, with 25 open tabs, and I quickly did a test, there was non that were un-loaded that I had to reload

It happened a lot on my previous phone with only 4GB ram though

My bad. Was regular prolog yeah
TheRoque··on λProlog: Logic programming in higher-order logic
I remember learning it in univerisity. It's a really weird language to reason with IMO. But really fun. However I've heard the performances are not that good if you wanna make e.g. game AIs with it.
TheRoque··on A beginner's guide to split keyboards
Membrane is not inherently more ergonomic, the "much less pressure" seems untrue since apparently it takes 50g of force to activate, while you can easily find switches that activate at less than 30g (I used a 37g switch myself).

About travel distance, this is also something you can adjust, with the low profile switches having less than 3mm travel distance.

Heck, even HE keyboards can set their actuation down to 0.1mm, if that's your thing.

TheRoque··on A beginner's guide to split keyboards
Programmability is really an awesome feature for this very reason. Even with a traditional layout, you can be really creative and improve the ergonomics: tap/hold mod for the spacebar, remap caps lock to do all kinds of stuff...
TheRoque··on OpenClaw is what Apple intelligence should have been
This post completely has it backwards, people are buying Apple hardware because they don't shove AI down everyone's throat unlike microsoft. And in a few weeks OpenClaw will be outdated or deemed too unsecure anyways, it will never be a long-term products, it's just some crazy experiment for the memes.
TheRoque··on The $100B megadeal between OpenAI and Nvidia is on ice

Oh could I get a link to that one ?

Sorry, not leaked emails, but it's the Greg Brockman's diary and leaked texts.

I didn't find the original lawsuit documents, but there's a screenshot in this video: https://youtu.be/csybdOY_CQM?si=otx3yn4N26iZoN7L&t=182 (timestamp is 3:02 if you don't see it)

There's more details about the behind-the-scenes and greg brockman's diary leaks in this article: https://www.techbuzz.ai/articles/open-ai-lawsuit-exposed-the... Some documents are made public thanks to the Musk-OpenAI trial.

I'll let you read a few articles about this lawsuit, but basically they said to Musk (and frankly, to everyone else) that they were committed to the non-profit model, while behind the scenes thinking about "making the billion" and turning for-profit.

TheRoque··on The $100B megadeal between OpenAI and Nvidia is on ice
Yeah. Even if OpenAI models were the best, I still wouldn't used them, given how the Sam Altman persona is despicable (constantly hyping, lying, asking for no regulations, then asking for regulations, leaked emails where founders say they just wanna get rich without any consideration of their initial "open" claims...). I know other companies are not better, but at least they have a business model and something to lose.
TheRoque··on Android’s desktop interface leaks
It's actually really different. WINE literally stands for: Wine Is Not an Emulator (yes, the acronym is contained within the acronym itself)
TheRoque··on A few random notes from Claude coding quite a bit last few weeks
Except that pro starcraft player still micro-manage every single Zergling or probe when necessary, while vibe coders just right click on the ennemy base and hope it'll go well
TheRoque··on France passes bill to ban social media use by under-15s
I'm not using any social media besides reddit (if it can even be considered a social media) and I have absolutely 0 problem going through life. What are you talking about ?
TheRoque··on France passes bill to ban social media use by under-15s
There are various studies about social media having a negative impact on teenager's mental health.

I don't think internet forums are comparable to what social media are today, in the scale (it was a marginal activity 15 years ago) and the impact it has on your own life.

TheRoque··on JuiceSSH – Give me my pro features back
I can believe that. But there are ways to reduce this overhead to almost nothing (aliasing, a script, a shell with nice autocomplete...)
TheRoque··on JuiceSSH – Give me my pro features back
The option is available, but it probably won't work (show some error that the chip should allow unsecure VMs)
TheRoque··on JuiceSSH – Give me my pro features back
Why would you pay for such feature ? Termux is basically a small Linux in your pocket and has anything you'd ever need regarding SSH
TheRoque··on JuiceSSH – Give me my pro features back
I quickly dropped JuiceSSH when I discovered Termux. And I also find it way easier to use the way I want to, and flexible.
TheRoque··on France Aiming to Replace Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc.
> The only way to accomplish this at scale is to build something that is legit better and let the market decide. Anything else is just principled wishful thinking.

Classic neo-liberalism BS (pardon my french). Markets are not some natural law written in the atoms, it's a human construction, and we shape it the way we want. Countries can create or destroy markets just with laws, you put a tax here, you put a legal requirement there. That's for example the reason that big american tech companies have been kicked out of South Korea:

- https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/08/south-korea-go...

- https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2023/12/05/an-update-on-twitch-in-...

Sure, if there are 2 competing companies that play with the exact set of rules, the mArKeT wIlL deCiDe, but that would be a really stupid decision from any government to not shape the rules in its favor. Europe is slowly waking up to this reality, better late than never I guess.

Did the "market decide" that Nvidia chips won't be shipped to China ? Did "the market decide" to put tariffs to get benefits from other countries ? Did "the market decide" to put embargo to Cuba, Iran, Venezuela.. ?

Hearing that regulations and laws is "wishful thinking" makes no sense at all. It's more the opposite, it's the only way to shape the markets the way you want to.

TheRoque··on Ask HN: DDD was a great debugger – what would a modern equivalent look like?
Maybe you can have a look at RadDbg [0], as I understand the project has been bought by Epic Games recently. The goal is to make a performant debugger, from what I understand its target audience is mostly game developers, but you can use it for other programs obviously. You can see a talk of the core developer and his vision here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9_bK_WjuYY

Sadly it's windows only yet, but they have plans to port it to other platforms.

Maybe Veloren: https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren

But I don't know if it really fits the "Massive" aspect of MMO

TheRoque··on Using proxies to hide secrets from Claude Code
At the moment I'm just using "sops" [1]. I have my env var files encrypted uth AGE encryption. Then I run whatever I want to run with "sops exec-env ...", it's basically forwarding the secrets to your program.

I like it because it's pretty easy to use, however it's not fool-proof: if the editor which you use for editing the env vars is crashing or killed suddently, it will leave a "temp" file with the decrypted vars on your computer. Also, if this same editor has AI features in it, it may read the decrypted vars anyways.

TheRoque··on ThinkNext Design
I was referring more to the classic T4XX line, like T480, T490 etc. I don't know what the new T14 or T16 are worth, but if they have equal quality I'm highly interested !
TheRoque··on ThinkNext Design
The thing that turns me off is that they are 14 inches for most of them. I personally cannot use my laptop in a serious way if it's below 16 inches
TheRoque··on Show HN: Nogic – VS Code extension that visualizes your codebase as a graph
How come nobody came up with an LSP that can perform this, all this time ?
TheRoque··on The creator of Claude Code's Claude setup
I was genuinely interested in knowing if you did it properly or not, since I read a lot of tales like this but don't understand how it can be true.

Did you manage to make proper reviews of all the 30 PR ?

For people with astigmatism, black in white is generally easier to read than the other way around: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/15142/whic...

Of your criteria is battery life, dark mode is most likely better

If your criteria is eye damage/strain, then IIRC the research is divided on this topic

TheRoque··on The creator of Claude Code's Claude setup
Gemini CLI is decent.
TheRoque··on Claude Code On-the-Go
That sounds nice, but what happens when there's something Claude messes up, doesn't know how to do something, or when you have to review the thousand lines it added to your project ?

Unless it's a totally vibe coded side project without any tests or quality control of some sort.

I'm just curious what you can build with this setup. It just seems to be the way to create a mountain of sloppy, unmaintainable code.
