ansc··on Sapphire: Rust based package manager for macOS (Homebrew replacement)
I'm really rooting for this. I can't wait for Homebrew replacements, what a pain it is.
ansc··on Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative
I understand you think it is obvious and no docs are required, but it is a bit ambiguous ”you can move or clone to a separate server with a single click” and ”Full instance migration is in development but not yet released.”
ansc··on Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative
How? I can't find it in the docs.
ansc··on Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative
Dokploy is not open-source. Broken license.
ansc··on Svelte: $derived can now be overwritten
>It's very clear what is on the server and what is on the client.

Is it though? Your `+page.svelte` is rendered on the server as well. Not only `.server.` is run on the server.

ansc··on StrictYAML
It's nice, but not a lot of bindings from what I can tell.
ansc··on But good sir, what is electricity?
There's a book: "Why Fish Don't Exist" which is pretty good. Evolutionary, my understanding is that things are usually named after their ancestry (phylogenetically?), while fish are basically... "have fish shape and is in water" which becomes awkward. Lungfish and coelacanths are a lot closely related to humans than to salmon.
ansc··on Ask HN: Songwriters, what software do you use?
I use https://lazyjot.com. It has a lot of weirder imperfect rhymes than other rhyme dictionaries, which makes it a lot more useful for me. Makes me a bit more creative. No AI generated slop yet.
ansc··on Quincy Jones has died
He really was a gem. Here's my favorite interview of all time with the same vibe: https://www.vulture.com/article/quincy-jones-in-conversation...

>Marlon Brandon used to go cha-cha dancing with us. He could dance his ass off. He was the most charming motherfucker you ever met. He’d fuck anything. Anything! He’d fuck a mailbox. James Baldwin. Richard Pryor. Marvin Gaye.

>He slept with them? How do you know that?

>[Frowns.] Come on, man. He did not give a fuck! You like Brazilian music?

ansc··on Svelte 5 Released
Of course! I was very used to SPA, and the convenience of moving a rune/store to an external file meant it could be accessed anywhere (as the post said). With SSR however, if you’re not careful, you can easily leak data: https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/discussions/4339.
ansc··on Svelte 5 Released
> I iteratively move $state() runes out of .svelte files and into .svelte.ts files where I build a more abstract data-oriented structure for my app from a series of mutually linked classes. Then those runes can be re-imported into the .svelte files, or used and updated wherever you need.

I don’t know exactly how you do this, but it sounds like you are dangling on the global state of the runes. This is DANGEROUS in Svelte and can definitely ruin your day.

ansc··on Svelte 5 Released
nit: >React, Svelte is an integrated framework

You're talking about SvelteKit. Svelte does not have a router.

ansc··on Too much efficiency makes everything worse (2022)
Kinda surprised to not see anyone mention Jacques Ellul and his The Technological Society which highly revolve around this. Technological here does not refer to technology.
ansc··on Learning to Reason with LLMs
30 messages per week? Wow. You better not miss!
ansc··on Blood Disorder: Unveiling the Mystery of My Poisoning in Sweden
>it sure looks like a crime and smells like a crime

yes, exactly!

and charges were not pursued.

you'd expect the documents surrounding that to be shared in that case too. but alas...

the specialist doctor says it's highly unlikely anything was added to the IV.

i'm obviously not saying "there's no crime", i'm saying that it makes sense to treat it with suspicion even though I got really hooked on the writing. as such, what's it doing on HN? I'm not sure it gratifies one's intellectual curiosity, it's gossip and emotions.

ansc··on Blood Disorder: Unveiling the Mystery of My Poisoning in Sweden
What is this doing on HN? It might be ramblings of a mentally ill person too. I'm sure there's more than meets the eye, as it usually is in these situations. The wife was adding potassium to the water, and he was on potassium medication. Somethings rotten in the state of Sweden.
ansc··on New startup sells coffee through SSH
It's expensive.
ansc··on So you want to scrape like the big boys (2021)
>I don't care if you use Web scraping to solve the Israeli / Palestinian conflict.

Maybe you should though. It's always worth it to think about which giant's shoulder you're standing on. It's giants all the way down.

ansc··on I setup my terminal for max productivity
Not to be a debbie-downer: but where would you gain an hour a day from this..? Sounds to me like you’d work an hour extra from tweaking and enjoying your tools.
ansc··on Spotify demonetizes all tracks under 1k streams
To be fair, that's because the label siphons the rest. Spotify pays $4 per 1000 streams.
ansc··on The Art of Electronics (2015)
I just really, really wish there was a student companion book. Maybe I should pay someone to help me with exercise questions. Electronics is hard!
ansc··on Brother have gotten to where they are now by not innovating
My Brother printer is one of my better purchases to be honest. I sound like a complete shill, but it's connected to wifi (and it just happily connects even if it's been off for a month or two), and all devices can just connect to it and print. Never need to reconnect or do anything with it. It's a printer that prints. I love it.

KitchenAid used their advantage into cutting costs, changing pieces into plastic though.
ansc··on A door at a Swedish library was accidentally left open
Daring today, aren't we?
ansc··on The Grug Brained Developer (2022)
why is this ”anti-intellectualism”? intuition is a strong quality to have in your code.
ansc··on MemGPT – LLMs with self-editing memory for unbounded context
Not to even mention the heat death of the universe!
ansc··on Wilhelm Reich on pleasure and the genesis of anxiety (2021)
It might sound like it disproves it, but if you look at what you wrote it is obvious that it does not. You've just presented an interesting hypothesis.
ansc··on Choose Postgres queue technology
>There was a lot of back and forth between engineers that discussed whether we should add the index.

Jeez. What was the idea behind not adding? Disk space I presume?

ansc··on Svelte 5: Runes
Agree. Svelte is a blast to write as an old grumpy backend engineer. But yes, probably just scared for nothing. Turning onMount() into $effect() is a tiny change, but this self-aware smol brained grug likes onMount() as it means something! To enable logical grouping, Svelte 5 allows us to nest the $effect()s? What does that even mean? Where am I? Nurse!
ansc··on Swedish criminal gangs using fake Spotify streams to launder money
Bot farms is wildly different than money laundering.
