feketegy··on Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry
It's all regex anyways
feketegy··on TailwindSQL – Like TailwindCSS, but for SQL queries in React Server components
Adobe has a whole lineup of enterprise products that people don't really read about. CF is deeply integrated into these products as well as other 3rd party enterprise products.
feketegy··on C100 Developer Terminal

feketegy··on What the hell have you built
It's also virtue signaling of what a great engineer they are. Have you wired together ABC with XYZ? No? Well I did... blah blah blah
feketegy··on Roc Camera
Is this another cash grab? The founders who made this don't seem to know what real photography is.
feketegy··on What Happened in 2007?
Correlation is not causation. Reminds me of spurious correlations LOL: https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations
feketegy··on Ask HN: Abandoned/dead projects you think died before their time and why?
That part of the Internet still exists, it's just nobody visits those sites anymore.

Communities are moving back to early Internet-like chatrooms like IRC, but now it is Slack, Discord, and the like. Everything private.

feketegy··on Ask HN: Abandoned/dead projects you think died before their time and why?
Google Wave was way ahead of its time.
feketegy··on iTerm2 Web Browser
I would use any other emulator than iTerm2. They are much more capable and more performant even if they are not as feature rich as iTerm2.
feketegy··on Tell HN: I Lost Joy of Programming
I use LLMs like I use Google. I will go to the website, type in the prompt, and read over the results. I would never embed LLMs into my whole workflow, let alone allow the entire code base to be analyzed by one.
feketegy··on A Knockout Blow for LLMs?
In other news, water is wet.

I don't think anybody who uses LLMs professionally day-to-day thinks that it can reason like human beings... If some people thought this, they fundamentally do not understand how LLMs work under the hood.

feketegy··on Microsoft’s original source code
I think what you are remembering is just nostalgia, people tend to remember the good things and shut out the bad ones.

I still remember how Microsoft, under Gates, acted like a robber baron to the whole tech community. You had a nice product? It was instantly copied by Microsoft, and they pulled the rug under you because they could.

You wanted open standards? It was a war purely because Microsoft wanted it to be. It was either Microsoft's way or the highway.

I consider pre-2008 and pre-iPhone launch to be the peak of the Internet, but it's all downhill from that year onwards.

feketegy··on Scammers Steal $1T a Year – Mostly from Americans
1 trillion? (x)doubt...
feketegy··on DJ With Apple Music launches to enable subscribers to mix their own sets
I never understood Apple’s obsession with DJ-ing, like that cringe showcase of the Macbook’s touch bar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsUZSod82bA
feketegy··on The Efficiency of Vim
There is a Neovim plugin for VSCode that uses an embedded implementation of Neovim in the background that lets you use the full power of Neovim in VSCode, and even most Neovim plugins work too.
feketegy··on The Efficiency of Vim
> I only bothered to learn Vim after seeing somebody do some wizardry with it and wondering how they did it.

That's usually the biggest motivator. It was for me too.

feketegy··on Mac(OS)talgia
OS X Lion was the most stable operating system I've ever used.

Tbh, it's all downhill from there, every new release gets a little worse not to mention all the hardware issues too.

feketegy··on Coding Font Selection 'Tournament'
It's hard to switch away from mononoki, Iosevka comes really close, if I spend enough time to full customize it to my liking maybe it could become my #1 pick.
feketegy··on Coding Font Selection 'Tournament'
mononoki is GOAT
feketegy··on Coding Font Selection 'Tournament'
Without Comic Sans (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynliPsRmmcQ) the world would be a worse place.
feketegy··on Ghostty 1.0
Ghostty's community is much nicer compared to Alacritty :)

Use the browser's search on the page?
feketegy··on The age of average (2023)
> regional recipes are disappearing and all food is beginning to taste the same.

Because everybody is watching the same 15 YouTube cooking channels and replicating their recipes.

feketegy··on The age of average (2023)
There’s a whole IG account dedicated to photos from unrelated IG users who post the same photos from the same location with the same outfit and pose. It’s at https://www.instagram.com/insta_repeat
feketegy··on Postgres for everything (e/Postgres)
Try opening a pull request maybe
feketegy··on If AI is helping people code better, why aren't products getting better?
I think that at every stage of software development, a new tool comes along to help manage complexity. This is true from punchcards all the way to LLMs.

This chart illustrates it better: https://x.com/feketegy/status/1809173358279311672/photo/1

feketegy··on So the Department of Energy emailed me
This happens all the time in enterprise software too. Everybody is covering their ass at these places and nobody is "brave" enough to say anything directly, hence the wording of these reports/emails/assessments.
feketegy··on "We ran out of columns"
This is that meme when the pizza guy walks into a burning room. Also, this comment is worthy of The Daily WTF.
feketegy··on Ask HN: Why do you all think that Htmx is such a recent development?
I wrote a blog post[1] about JS frameworks and what led up to the current mess that's called front-end web development and how new developers are re-discovering "old" tech that's fun and simple.

feketegy··on iTerm2 removes AI feature from core, creates separate plugin
> I wonder if a lot of the heated discussion is purely an emotional reaction to be hit with "AI feature onboarding"

It's most likely the reason. Everybody wants to ride the hype wave with AI just like they did with NFTs, dApps, Web3, and so on and people are tired of it.

I'm not for or against AI if we can even call LLMs AI, but I genuinely can't find a use case for an AI prompt in a terminal emulator app. I know it's open-source and I can "take it or leave it", but this feature addition to me seems more like hype than anything else.
