ghqst··on Canvas is down as ShinyHunters threatens to leak schools’ data
Well instructure is slightly better than the somehow legal torture of having to use the "product" Microsoft Teams
ghqst··on Framework Laptop 13 Pro
Haptic trackpads are the secret sauce that make MacBooks so pleasant to use. You probably want one.
ghqst··on Delve allegedly forked an open-source tool and sold it as its own
what's interesting to me about Cluely is that they had one of the smartest programmers I know there doing really cool stuff with React... and then they got laid off when the core team moved to New York
ghqst··on Why Developers Keep Choosing Claude over Every Other AI
I think this is organic. I've observed the exact same thing over the last week: I tried Google Antigravity and really liked it when I was using my Claude quota. I ran out of Claude quota and tried Gemini 3.1 Pro and it was comparatively terrible at using the tools provided by the IDE. (but it's a useful model in the browser for chat)
ghqst··on Last Week on My Mac: Losing confidence
A framework laptop is very nice, and definitely has a lot of upsides, but it can't match screen, keyboard, trackpad, camera, or speaker quality with a MacBook Pro, not to mention the battery life.
ghqst··on Helium Browser
My biggest problem with Thorium was lack of updates, so I hope Helium is able to remain consistent with updates. Congrats on the launch, cobalt crew!
ghqst··on Pocket Casts, you altered the deal, so I will alter your app
A lot of podcast apps have a server for crawling the RSS feeds for you.
ghqst··on macOS 26 Tahoe's Dead Canary Utility App Icons
Gruber seemed like an Apple sycophant for a while because his values and tastes aligned very closely with Apple's (though he still criticized them from time to time). Now, Apple is drifting away from those values and tastes and so Gruber and others in that sphere of Apple blogs are coming down harder on Apple, especially after Alan Dye made such a mess with "Liquid Glass".
ghqst··on My favourite Git commit (2019)
This is why at work the only required rule for commit messages is that they include the story number, so we can very easily find at least the general reason for a change from git blame.
ghqst··on Microsoft suggests command line fiddling to get Windows 10 update installed
Having to use such a terrible hack to change scroll speed on GNOME is my least favorite thing about it.
ghqst··on Ferret: A Multimodal Large Language Model
Have you ever actually used Siri?
ghqst··on Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access
Beeper fixed their other iMessage bridge service last night by rotating device serial numbers on their server farm, so I would guess this would work? To my knowledge the pypush library itself isn't broken.
ghqst··on Firefox Developer Edition and Beta: Try Out Mozilla's .deb Package
Developer edition is dark mode by default and updates way more often than standard Firefox.

Besides that I'm not really sure.

ghqst··on Titled Tuesday Cheating
The author has a short paragraph at the end about Glicko.
ghqst··on GameMaker to be free for non-commercial purposes and have one-time fee license
While I wouldn't personally use them, that appears to be the point of all three of the services he listed.
ghqst··on Show HN: Inshellisense – IDE style shell autocomplete
This is using the same library as Fig for autocomplete, but cross -platform and without requiring an account.
ghqst··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2023)
I think because of your banner at the top, your header bar is being pushed on top of your page content, at least on mobile.
ghqst··on SUSE to go private
That makes more sense. Your original sentence was unclear.
ghqst··on SUSE to go private
I see no mention here of unions or anything similar
ghqst··on The power of achieving flow state in DevEx
I think it's more a warning that you're never going to be able to find a standup time that's the most efficient for every attendee
ghqst··on Why has Britain become so poor?
I like the general idea, but I don't know if this could ever be implemented, much less in a clean way
ghqst··on JetBrains Mono Typeface
As someone who manipulates structure, the refactoring tools and the like, as well as the formatting IntelliJ does for you, make my programming less portable between editors. Text-driven development is very portable, but I actively dislike using VSCode in comparison to IntelliJ because it refactors and formats code in different ways.
ghqst··on A Grub theme in the style of Minecraft
There are launchers on Flathub and Lutris for playing Bedrock Edition on Linux, but at the end of the day it was originally called Minecraft Windows 10 Edition.
ghqst··on 6 days to change 1 line of code (2015)
As an intern doing work in an unfamiliar framework, it was really valuable to get code review from seniors about how to better go about solving a problem structurally. Not something static analysis would've caught.
ghqst··on How to Do Great Work

ghqst··on Show HN: Use cookies from Chrome (CDP) in cURL without copy pasting
Yeah, you can sometimes find the API or find data sent in JavaScript but not in prerendered HTML, which can save you the pain of headless scraping.
ghqst··on Any type of hormonal contraceptive may increase risk of breast cancer
If I remember correctly this is at high dosages, so it should be much safer in a normal dosage used for hrt.
ghqst··on Ask HN: More magazines like Quanta and Noema?
the biggest argument against this is that communist countries still achieve great things in the face of MASSIVE setbacks and sanctions from capitalist countries with lots of power. Yet after an initial period of food insecurity, these nations tend to do great for a while. For example, the CIA reported that the Soviet diet had less calories and was more nutritious than the American diet.
ghqst··on GDevelop: An open-source, cross-platform, free, and easy game-making app
In my experience, it is as good or better than Construct 2, and has only improved since I used it in depth. I haven't used Construct 3 to compare.
ghqst··on Microsoft Teams is blocking Firefox Nightly
