ewy1··on Bringing uv and ty together
having a language be reliant on external typing for even the most popular libraries feels so passè and backwards even though it's clearly the way things are evolving with typescript and python
ewy1··on The Brain Sandwich
in the post, the brain sandwich gets explained as "brain, ai, brain" but sandwich experts note that a sandwich is usually named after its contents and not the bread
ewy1··on A skeptic's first contact with Kubernetes (2024)
my cope: yaml being a superset of json means you can usually do ` | toJson` in your templates instead of ` | toYaml | nindent x`
ewy1··on Big Fish: Exploiting a 37-Year-Old Kernel Bug in OpenBSD
the ai-generated graphic before any content is presented is kind of a turnoff
ewy1··on Cloudflare acquires Deno
if you're not locked to javascript you could use python with pep-723[1] to declare inline dependencies

ewy1··on Radicle: Disclosure of Vulnerability in the Network Protocol
you're right! i can't believe i only noticed that just now, thanks!
ewy1··on Radicle: Disclosure of Vulnerability in the Network Protocol
thankfully (for me), this is about the git forge and not the oss calendar and contact synchronization software by the same name

ewy1··on Ubuntu 26.10 completes transition to Rust-based coreutils
this works great but in my experience sometimes you should add

  && sync
not sure why it's necessary only sometimes!
ewy1··on CSS-Tricks in Limbo
the title is really underselling it; as the post is very concise, i won't repeat it here but it's worth reading
ewy1··on I resigned from Anthropic today
i have heard about ai companies being fuelled by effective altruist rhetoric ("we must control ai to prevent mass extinction") but was unsure whether to believe it; this seems to slot right into that framing.
ewy1··on Stop Making TUIs
this blog post is mostly shadowboxing and showing off their llm-made software; kind of disappointing
ewy1··on Ask HN: GitHub employees what's going on? Why?
offtopic but i find it concerning that github has effectively prevented people from learning how to use git without a forge
ewy1··on Go 1.27 Interactive Tour
fascinating how many people are displeased with the expansion of generics! i love go and this is some functionality i always missed.
ewy1··on Advertise in ChatGPT
it turns out "consumer agency" is ineffective and that people are actually very susceptible to having thoughts beamed into their heads
ewy1··on How to build a circular LCD clock
it's a fun hobby project and thanks for documenting it!

but it's a pre-bought circular screen, raspberry pi and a browser... i could use it to ask google the time, the clock is just a formality.

thinking about it a little harder, i guess the focus is not really the project and more so the watch faces.

ewy1··on Resetting Xbox
crazy second sentence which makes the rest of the comment not make any sense
ewy1··on Vite+ Beta
it worked for uv so i can imagine a competent team can do the same thing for javascript!
ewy1··on I ported Kubernetes to the browser
the author paid for a robot to write the software while they watched.

it's a bad faith dig at ai-driven development, not the part of the comment that was supposed to be taken seriously, sorry.

ewy1··on I ported Kubernetes to the browser
giving yourself (or your llm) infinite future work in maintaining all that duplicated kubernetes source code is a bad idea, surely? the author notes they could have compiled the kubernetes to wasm, but doesn't due to... bundle size? i haven't tried, but surely it wouldn't work because all os-level functionality would cause panics.

also the title is false

ewy1··on Nearly half of LG smart TV apps contain residential proxy SDKs
we all know what they meant
ewy1··on Show HN: Got sick of ads, so I made my own logic puzzle site
went to today's puzzle, was assigned an easy symmetrical nonogram. even though that was a disappointing start i was open to doing more, so i opened a hard one and was faced with a nonogram symmetrical on more axes than the easy one.

since a human would know these are bad nonograms, i have to assume this is all llm-generated.

i see you have already addressed similar comments, just sharing my two cents since i usually love puzzles.

ewy1··on The Rise and (Potential) Fall of Letterboxd
great website but i had to sign out of at least three separate newsletters so far - if i wasn't already so disillusioned by modern technology, that would have made me delete my account.
ewy1··on Want your images back? That'll be $5
so you want a service that does everything, is around forever, extremely reliable, affordable, and easy to use, and not affiliated with big tech? and you don't want to do anything yourself?
ewy1··on /e/OS 4.0 is here
i have used /e/OS every day for a couple years now but the only thing i ever see change are - third party apps updated - fixed bug in murena subscription only app

i guess nothing about it has to be updated but it feels uncanny that every update is either a dependency bump or financial interest

ewy1··on Grit: Rewriting Git in Rust with agents
pretty dystopian to ask a robot to recreate your favorite software just so you can relicense it for your business venture
ewy1··on Having your insulin pump die while you're on vacation
i'm sympathetic to her health concerns (obviously) but the blog post is about type 1 and your girlfriend seems to have type 2. although they have similar names, their causes are unrelated.

from my perspective you are responding to a blog about the complications of a terrible, incurable illness with "you need more exercise" which has no impact on type 1.

for completeness: yes, diet and exercise does change the amount of insulin a type 1 diabetic needs, but it does not "get better" or "go away".

the type 1 diabetics i know actually live very healthy lives by necessity because they need to constantly keep track of their carb consumption so they can adjust the insulin amount.

ewy1··on Having your insulin pump die while you're on vacation
type 1 diabetes is not influenced by diet, lifestyle or exercise which you could have known if you had read the first few paragraphs of the blog you're commenting about
ewy1··on Having your insulin pump die while you're on vacation
i have multiple family members with t1d and having experienced their stories i expected this blog to be filled with anti-patient practises, planned obsolesence and the like. however, i was relieved to read that's not the case.
ewy1··on Please Do Not Vibe Fuck Up This Software
i hate it when people i agree with act unhinged
ewy1··on I Put a Datacenter GPU in My Gaming PC for £200
despite gaming being used in the title, it is not mentioned in the article, but i'm curious how this performs.

i've ran some multi vendor frankenstein setups before and sometimes it even works, so i'm curious to hear your experience with it.
