corentin88··on How the Claude Code team does code review
Claude Code is great, but do you really push that much (new) code every day?
corentin88··on Web Search API
Funny how search was a graveyard for startups for almost two decades. And since ChatGPT releases (or so) it’s a trending place again.
corentin88··on Minimal Phone 2
Reminds me of a Blackberry
corentin88··on The Google Play app review process now regularly takes longer than a week
In the opposite, Google Chrome extensions are now reviewed in a few hours, sometimes less than one hour.
corentin88··on Our decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX
Source?
corentin88··on AliExpress runs silent WebAudio fingerprinting that breaks Bluetooth multipoint
Getting the same issue when opening Stripe Dashboard with AirPod on.
corentin88··on Ten years of ClickHouse in open source
Elsewhere on the page, they avoid mentioning Yandex. In fact, do they ever mention Yandex?

That’s probably not to advertise for that company. I don’t see why it’s sad?

corentin88··on Agents can now create Cloudflare accounts, buy domains, and deploy
You would just get called from an agent (bot) based in your country. There’s no easy way to prevent that. Fraud is massive and it’s becoming cheaper and easier to run at scale.
corentin88··on Why IPv6 is so complicated
It’s a duplicate in fact
corentin88··on Microsoft and OpenAI end their exclusive and revenue-sharing deal
Can you elaborate?
corentin88··on Show HN: A drop-in, open-source replacement for YouTube embed iframes
It's a static site that renders the youtube thumbnail + a red play button. When you click on it, it loads the youtube iframe. So it's basically deferring the cookie consent and all.

We implemented it as a drop-in replacement:

  -- <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aqz-KE-bpKQ">
  ++ <iframe src="https://www.embedlite.com/embed/aqz-KE-bpKQ">

Nothing else needed.
corentin88··on Enorme
It’s énorme!
corentin88··on France's aircraft carrier located in real time by Le Monde through fitness app
The aircraft career has a submarine and other ships to defend him.

So they are all at risk.

corentin88··on Temporal: The 9-year journey to fix time in JavaScript
Thanks for sharing your thoughts too. I still have the feeling that broad adoption comes from simple things that just work. And the complicated stuff is more optional.
corentin88··on Temporal: The 9-year journey to fix time in JavaScript
Temporal is a good idea, but the API is too complicated for broad adoption:

- new Date() equivalent in Temporal is `const now = Temporal.Now.zonedDateTimeISO();`.

- Date.now() equivalent is `Temporal.Now.instant().epochMilliseconds`

- It’s PascalCase, where JS is mostly snakeCase.

- nanoseconds per default. who needs that except Bloomberg? It should have been an option

It’s definitely great all the efforts put in place, but it’s not going to be a replacement to Date which such a complicated design.

corentin88··on Ask HN: Do You Use AI Email Assistants Like Google CC?
Have you heard of Mailmeteor?
corentin88··on Postal Arbitrage
Same thing in France with Vinted
corentin88··on List of Hosting Providers
Quite impressive the number of IP addresses that Amazon detains.
corentin88··on He set out to walk around the world. After 27 years, his quest is nearly over
Reminds me of Mike Horn, who travelled around the globe trying to say on the equator as much as he can. That being the longest round-trip.

He walked a bit, but mostly sailed though.

The book (Equator) worths the read. Especially the part in Africa.

corentin88··on Palantir could be the most overvalued company that ever existed
Unreadable...
corentin88··on OpenAI declares 'code red' as Google catches up in AI race
They will just have to change of LLM provider.
corentin88··on OpenAI Is Just Another Boring, Desperate AI Startup
McDonald’s has brand moat. So does Coca-Cola. And many more products. The switching cost is null, but the brand does it all.
corentin88··on What happens when coding agents stop feeling like dialup?
Same as GitHub or Slack downtimes severely impact productivity.
corentin88··on Why does AI feel so different?
It’s one thing to provide hints of a response (10 blue links) and the response (AI).
corentin88··on The Chrome Speculation Rules API allows the browser to preload and prerender
Too much JavaScript for me. Why not offering something as simple as `<a href="…" rel="prefetch">`
corentin88··on I launched 17 side projects. Result? I'm rich in expired domains
You built emojipedia? I’m impressed.

By the way the link is broken on your website.

corentin88··on How I fixed my blog's performance issues by writing a new Jekyll plugin
On the YouTube embed aspect, using a component can take lots of time and efforts.

Just sharing another approach where you keep the YouTube embed iframe, but replace the domain "youtube.com" by this specific domain "embedlite.com". It loads only the thumbnail of the video and when someone clicks on it, it loads the full YouTube player.

More info: https://www.embedlite.com

corentin88··on Show HN: Fast YouTube Embed Iframes
OP here. YouTube embed iframe is a nightmare in terms of performance. Almost 1MB per video embedded. That’s insane!

We tried different techniques to improve this and ended up building an (open source) solution that’s dead-simple.

corentin88··on I'm betting against AI agents, despite building them
Why this timeline? What’s missing today that would make it possible in 5-10 years?
corentin88··on How Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) rewrites the rules of search
Maybe content marketing ins’t dead after all. Just the readers have shifted and now you write for LLMs. They will be trained on your articles, to summarize them for LLM readers (aka humans).
