This usually isn't done, because design/spec no longer exists.

cvakon Docker Sandboxes – Disposable, isolated sandboxes for AI agents

yeah, I actually just re-use claude-code .devcontainer: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/tree/main/.devcont...

I especially like the firewall it has.

cvakon Show HN: Run an 80B Qwen in 4.3 GB of RAM on a Mac, and a 35B on an iPhone

we are not at 2nm, we just call it that.

cvakon Apple is getting this wrong

I suppose this is harder when the company hosts everything in icloud though...

cvakon Ten advances in mathematics and theoretical computer science

In what sense?

cvakon Is Meta destroying its engineering organization?

I have a friend that did that, in a 4y stint there, and was happy to get to one of the layoffs phase. He was fairly lucky with the stock price RSUs vs stock price(though he knew a few that were so lucky that their 100k RSUs grant at sign got to like 800k, not that lucky, but yeah, his 4 years of flying to office made him basically "I can retire whenever I please to".

Most of developers don't understand what opportunity they got into to be highly paid eng with RSUs. My friend is managing 500 people in a factory and gets salary that everyone would laugh at here...

tbf google maps are absolutely shit for car navigation.

cvakon Axios compromised on NPM – Malicious versions drop remote access trojan

ok, it works, only the list function shows it as null...

cvakon Axios compromised on NPM – Malicious versions drop remote access trojan

I think the npm doesn't support end of line comments, so

  ~/.npmrc
  min-release-age=7 # days

actually doesn't set it at all, please edit your comment.

EDIT: Actually maybe it does? But it's weird because

`npm config list -l` shows: `min-release-age = null` with, and without the comment. so who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

cvakon After outages, Amazon to make senior engineers sign off on AI-assisted changes

TBH, I do PRs on repos with no other devs just do do self-review, and I did that before AI.

cvakon Nokia N900 Necromancy

yeah I scooped n950 on some online marketplace for very cheap since it was bricked, fixed it and resold it for profit, but what a beauty of a phone, I wish I kept it.

cvakon Scripts I wrote that I use all the time

I moved away from 1000 lines .zshrc when I had to do stuff on linux VMs/dockers and I was lost a lot. But you zsh-autosuggestions, and fzf-tab is not going anywhere.

cvakon Postman which I thought worked locally on my computer, is down

I used to use postman, before they become greedy, now I use Bruno.

But to your question - I have saved based authenticated request to our company useful APIs - github/jira/artifactory - so when I want to string together some micro tool to do something in batch, I don't have to remember where do I create API key, and how do they accept it.

cvakon Why Romania excels in international Olympiads

Funny how somehow in discussions in our country I always have to defend that sorting students is a good thing. A lot of people argue, that best student in average classes will still be great, and will lift the others, from my experience that is not true.

even the first picture is not correct so not reading all of that

cvakon Cloudflare employee posts layoff call with HR and goes viral [video]

To me it sounds like excelent video for making a legal case againts Britanny, I'd be very upset if someone would be secretly recording a meeting with me as a HR person. Guess that depends on a state, but good luck finding another corporate job.

cvakon Ask HN: Why did Python win?

I've spent year and a half writing chef as my first "programming" job, like 6 years ago. I learned almost 0 ruby, and that's probably why ruby didn't stick that much.

cvakon Threads has passed 2M sign ups in the first 2 hours

Because Google killed it, because it was not for normal people, my circles were mainly developers/researches. Normal people were already on fb and didn't see any value of trying something else.
