ctxc··on How we decreased GitLab repo backup times from 48 hours to 41 minutes
Art term?
ctxc··on How to post when no one is reading
Your latest article raises a very interesting point! There are mechanisms that treat URLs as IDs, I didn't really think about feeds tbh :)

You wrote your 200th, I wrote my...I think 4th today :D

ctxc··on Simpler Backoff
If the author is here - please turn word wrap off for code. It's unreadable on mobile.
ctxc··on Photos taken inside musical instruments
Haha! Yeah those were confusing.

Did you get the viola/violin/bass right?
ctxc··on Show HN: I rewrote my Mac Electron app in Rust
This is akin to saying if you rewrite it in Assembly it would be better than Rust. True, but what are the tradeoffs? Why doesn't everyone write it in assembly?

It _would_ be bigger and eat more RAM and CPU. But that does not imply "shittier".

There are parameters like dev time, skills available in the market, familiarity, the JS ecosystem etc that sometimes outweigh the disadvantage of being bigger/slower.

You're pointing out the disadvantages in isolation which is not a balanced take.

ctxc··on Lieferando.de has captured 5.7% of restaurant related domain names
Apparently they not only create the website, but also claim the Google Maps listing using the website.

And then go on to extort the restaurants for $$$ to add their correct contact details on the listing.

ctxc··on Good Writing
Any suggestions to wade into his work?
ctxc··on Show HN: BetterFriend – a CRM just to be a better friend
First thing that came to mind. The vercel domain here is also off-putting, makes it feel like a weekend project that could be turned off any second.
ctxc··on Root for your friends
Get with the times. It's just virtue signaling at this point :)

Thank you for the explanation!

ctxc··on $30 Homebrew Automated Blinds Opener (2024)
Spent a minute trying to figure out if I just walked into a botany version of the rickroll xD
ctxc··on How to have the browser pick a contrasting color in CSS
Yep. A simple use case I had was letting users create "tags" and choose their own color for the chips (think Github PR tags like "good-first-issue" "bugs" but custom)

I'm surprised parent hasn't come across this usage, I see it everywhere.

ctxc··on A leap year check in three instructions
Please make stuff fit into viewport width, hard to use on mobile as it stands :)
ctxc··on Ash Framework – Model your domain, derive the rest
Thanks. This is exactly what the website should say!
ctxc··on Show HN: I’ve built an IoT device to let my family know when I’m in a meeting
You should write about it and add pictures! :)

It says $250 (but of course, pretty cool). Esp module is probably <$10. What am I missing?

Exactly! Do these things not bring people joy in the drudgery of routine solutions?!
ctxc··on Zuckerberg's Grand Vision: Most of Your Friends Will Be AI
I get the skepticism. But I already see several people chatting with chatgpt like they would with a friend.

A long memory window will increase stickiness and I don't think this is too far fetched.

I thought too much screentime was bad, but man... Maybe this is how the people who thought TVs were bad felt when they saw people glued to phones.

ctxc··on Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview
Three decades and I haven't had to do anything remotely resembling this on a calculator, much less find the calculator wrong. Same for the majority of general population I assume.

Also, documentation and SO are incorrect in a predictable way. We don't expect them to state things in a matter of fact way that just don't exist.

The error introduced by the data is expected and internalized, it's the error of LLMs on _top_ of that that's hard to.
ctxc··on Sneakers (1992) – 4K makeover sourced from the original camera negative
I was kinda hoping it was manual (sorry). I was fired up at the opportunity to build something tiny that solves a pain, but...man you have a solid setup there :D
ctxc··on Trump announces 100% tariffs on movies ‘produced in foreign lands’
Prevailing culture.

A kid these days in most urban parts would tend to say "911 I have an emergency" while roleplaying because we hear it so much in popular culture.

Snark, the snark :)
