ajitid··on Apple raises prices of MacBooks, iPads
Nano texture display option also got a price increase. Thankfully, AppleCare+ didn't.
ajitid··on All the bugs they found
I'm not attached to coding either. But if someone else is, and feels the way that is alien to me, I am not gonna be disregarding their feelings either.

Passion is a feeling, and feeling changes.

ajitid··on All the bugs they found
Honestly your poor assessment is in all ways poorer than his poorly written creation.

Did you even have 2-3 minutes to click around his website and gave a read to his other article "Something that I used to love"?

Your type of disparaging comments give the impression of HN to others what HN totally isn't. I don't know if you wrote your comment esp. for engagement baiting.

ajitid··on Grok 4.3
If I sub to SuperGrok, would I be able to use it in Pi agent or in Opencode? This is not clear to me if I can. Do I get an API Key in SuperGrok?

What a great documentary! Loved the pace of the documentary and the mix of visuals. Thanks for sharing.
ajitid··on Cursor Composer 2 is just Kimi K2.5 with RL
Could you explain how much improvement RL+fine tuning has given to Composer 2.0 over Kimi K2.5? I don't fully grasp the work Cursor model has done here and why it is difficult to achieve these results with RL.

ajitid··on Deep Learning Is Not So Mysterious or Different
Also would like to add that he has a YouTube channel as well https://youtube.com/@statquest
ajitid··on Zed on Linux Is Here
Could this be your issue? https://zed.dev/docs/linux#opening-files-does-not-work
ajitid··on Neovide – A simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
For the commenters here: do we have something like VimR [1] for OSes other than the Mac that provides a file explorer sidebar with smaller font size (probably sans)?

ajitid··on In loving memory of square checkbox
This assumption breaks if you use macOS. Windows uses (or used to use) Apply button in its settings. Macintosh OSes were reactive from the start. Which means that checkboxes have immediate-ness on Macs.
ajitid··on Fly through your shell history
As a non-Mac user I really want to know why one would prefer Homebrew on Linux.

My assumption is OS package manager would always have more packages compared to Homebrew, and I don't know if Homebrew on Linux even supports GUI packages or not.

ajitid··on Telltail: Universal Clipboard for Text
Seems like I cannot delete this non-"Show HN" post.

Here's the updated submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35373349

ajitid··on Making Python faster with Rust
Ever tried gluing Go with either Python or JavaScript? I'm interested in learning what libraries are there to glue them and how complicated and slow they could be.
ajitid··on Telltail: Universal Clipboard for Text
Hi folks!

Telltail [1] lets you copy text from one device onto another. If you've used or ever known about Apple's Universal Clipboard, it is quite like that. It uses Tailscale [2] to achieve this.

I must tell you that setting it up requires you to have some familiarity with the terminal (which already comes installed on your computer).

I've written a blog post about it which you can find here [3]. The instructions to install it are here [4].

It is a personal project of mine and is not affiliated to or promoted by any org.

ajitid··on Stop spamming the em dash everywhere
TIL, thanks! I didn't the look of em dash in the middle of a sentence but I didn't know any other option.
ajitid··on A Spiritual Successor to Emacs
Can you share this piece of code?
ajitid··on Hoppscotch: Open-source alternative to Postman
I can't find the pricing page, could you link it? I thought it was free.
ajitid··on Command line tools for productive programmers
I made a slightly different thing:

If you are on

  /home/user/projects/app/src/handlers/
and you want to go to `app/`, you'll do:

  > up src
Or give name of any other child folder/file of `app/`. So if `.git` exists in `app/`,

  > up .git
would work too.

I made it for Fish shell: https://gist.github.com/ajitid/81a4993be410586c038f8b3fc140b...

ajitid··on FZF for JavaScript (Preview)
Hi, author of the library here. FZF does fuzzy matching and helps you find a string from a list of strings by typing as few characters as possible.

This is a preview release (0.x), so breaking changes and improvement in docs would be introduced. That being said, I would be happy to receive feedback on improving the docs, code or on other things.

ajitid··on Neovim 0.5 is overpowering
He later corrected it by saying:

I evaluated few plugins around this and this one I liked the most: https://github.com/romainl/vim-cool
ajitid··on API pagination design
I have question, lets say we have

page 1 elements: A B C D E

page 2 elements: F G H I J

so 5 elements in each page.

Suppose I'm on page 2. If I insert a new element Q and it gets pushed as first then page 1 will have Q A B C D. Now if I go back to page 1, I'll get A B C D E and also a token/pointer to go back one more time only to retrieve Q.

So while cursor solved the issues you mentioned, it still will have this case in which pagination gets broken. I'm interested how we can tackle this.

ajitid··on API pagination design
> use a more streamable format than JSON

Did you mean we should stream data over WebSocket or use HTTP/2 or do we need to do something different altogether?

ajitid··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2018)
Hello! I'm unable to find proper website of yours. Except a page built on Nuxt at https://www.xstealth.space/. Do you have a proper website to which I can look at? Thanks.

ajitid··on Ask HN: Ubuntu Desktop Default Apps
Most of them are preferring VS Code as their IDE, Firefox as their web browser and VLC for playing media
ajitid··on Ask HN: Why does mobile appear to have a better dev UX compared to desktop UIs?
https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows what about this?
