ccmcarey··on Grok Build is open source
This is not how to push your own product - there's no value add to your comment, and you don't even have a disclaimer that you are involved with it
ccmcarey··on Issue: Claude Code is unusable for complex engineering tasks with Feb updates
No, ultrathink puts it in /effort high mode. There's no kw for one turn of effort max
ccmcarey··on Codex pricing to align with API token usage, instead of per-message
Nope, they buried the lead a bit but this is coming for _all_ users, even pro/plus subscription plans. So you get chatgpt pro/plus benefits, and then effectively $20/$200 in credits for codex
ccmcarey··on Show HN: We built a terminal-only Bluesky / AT Proto client written in Fortran
AI slop comment
ccmcarey··on France's aircraft carrier located in real time by Le Monde through fitness app
AI slop
ccmcarey··on LLM Year in Review
I disagree, the claude models seem the best at tool calling, opus 4.5 seems the smartest, and claude code (+ claude model) seems to make good use of subagents and planning in a way that codex doesn't
ccmcarey··on Writing a C Compiler: Build a Real Programming Language from Scratch
Blew it out of the water with more or less lines of code? :)
ccmcarey··on CockroachDB license change
Looks like those hits are because they forked it https://github.com/oxidecomputer/cockroach (no changes since then though)
ccmcarey··on Discord Rolled Out Yubikeys for All Employees
From the article:

> Nowadays, newly-onboarded Discord corporate users receive a laptop and at least one Yubikey alongside that laptop. IT onboards users to Okta and instructs them to register at least two WebAuthn authenticators; typically, this is their Macbook’s TouchID/Windows Hello sensor and also their Security Key C NFC.

> We also instruct corporate users to set up Okta Verify for use only as a fallback MFA in the event that all their authenticators fail at once. This way, we never have user accounts lacking at least one strong form of multi-factor authentication.

So OS level keys, a yubikey for roaming, and Okta Verify for fallback

ccmcarey··on OPNsense: Open-source security platform
Where do you see those being available for under 100gbp!?
ccmcarey··on Podman Desktop 1.0
It's not linux only? Podman desktop runs on Windows (I'm using it right now) and Mac
ccmcarey··on DALL·E now available in beta
Yep. During the alpha it was (50*6) 300 images per day, by their pricing model that would be $300 a month now
ccmcarey··on DALL·E now available in beta
That's about 10x as expensive as it should be
ccmcarey··on I've started using Firefox and can never go back to Chrome
I flip flop between Firefox and Chrome constantly and for as long as I can remember, Chrome has always just felt snappier
ccmcarey··on A prompt engineering guide for DALLE-2
I signed up on day 2, still no access :')
ccmcarey··on The Perils of M1 Ownership
> Theft of iPhones basically stopped being a problem because features like these makes the device a mostly useless brick once it’s marked in Apple’s systems as stolen.

Uhh, got a citation on that?

ccmcarey··on Magic Wormhole: Get things from one computer to another, safely
FYI looks like magic-wormhole.io doesn't listen on 443, only on port 80 (which redicts to github).
ccmcarey··on What to do about GPU packages on PyPI?
Looking at their sponsors list, looks like Fastly. Commendable.
ccmcarey··on Privacy Update: Third-party Tracking
HN thread about the original issue: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26536019
ccmcarey··on Ignoring Docker updates is a paid feature now?
> People seem to forget: Docker is a Linux-only technology

As I understand it, this is not true - you _can_ run Windows containers.

ccmcarey··on WindowGrid for Window Management on Windows
I've been going back and forth between tiling WMs on Linux, and using this on Windows, and I 100% think this is the better approach. You set the minimum grid size, and then using your mouse you drag windows over grid boxes until it's set up how you want.

This is, IMO, better than a tiling WM as you don't have to mess about with resizing windows or changing the way the layouts are stacked. Just put the windows where you want them, and move them when you want them.

ccmcarey··on The architecture behind a one-person tech startup
Great writeup.

How do you handle database migrations when using an otherwise automated CI/CD flow with gradual deployment?

ccmcarey··on SPAs Are Dead?
That's not true. Wikipedia [0] has a nice summary:

> A single-page application (SPA) is a web application or website that interacts with the user by dynamically rewriting the current web page with new data from the web server, instead of the default method of the browser loading entire new pages. The goal is faster transitions that make the website feel more like a native app.

ccmcarey··on Starship SN11 Launch Attempt Ends in Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly
I'd be impressed if debris could travel 10km from a RUD at <1km.
ccmcarey··on Google Removed ClearURLs Extension from Chrome Web Store
I used Firefox for years.

I recently moved back to a Chromium based browser (Edge). Even on a fairly powerful system (16 logi cores/4GHz) it's just noticeably faster. SPAs are actually usable again. Video decoding is hardware accelerated and I can now play 4k videos without every interaction with the browser lagging like crazy.

Firefox is great, theoretically. But even then, Mozilla keep making inane decisions - lately their plans to remove compact mode [0] were in the news. Why?!

ccmcarey··on GitHub, fuck your name change
The issue with that is that those words (blacklist/whitelist specifically) have no connotation to race.

It's not an issue. The etymology of the words have nothing to do with race.

Trying to get people to change them _creates_ that link.

There are real issues that could be focused on to bring about effective change. Not this.

ccmcarey··on GeForce RTX 3060 Ethereum Mining Restrictions Have Been Broken
There's also the fact that a few days ago Nvidia released a signed driver that disabled the restrictions [1] _by accident_. But now that the signed driver is out, anyone can just revert to that at any time and mine whatever they want.

Fantastic failure to a flawed endeavour.

ccmcarey··on Esbuild 0.9
Think that's out of scope - doesn't snowpack (which uses esbuild) cover this though? https://www.snowpack.dev/
ccmcarey··on Malaysian Grandfather Is Facing Death for Weed
Urgh I missed that, but I maintain that his comment is firmly "idiot comment" material as it's pretty obvious that the context is about capital punishment and not getting into a gunfight.
ccmcarey··on Malaysian Grandfather Is Facing Death for Weed
What an idiot comment. I don't understand why people make such obviously and easily verifiably false claims.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_Neth...

There is no capital punishment.
