ghthor··on Measuring developer productivity with the DX Core 4
I don’t think the product is all bad; my co is using it and I feel like it is giving us some useful signals about our internal dev UX that my team can action on; we own the base level dev tooling.
ghthor··on AI Mania Is Eviscerating Global Decision-Making
We’ve done pretty basic stuff like expose a bunch of data sources over MCP and our nontechnical employees are now able to answer questions and build interactive data visualizations they would never have been able to do before.

I think this article is way too negative and I would question the authors bias; I don’t think it’s hard to see how valuable these tools are.

ghthor··on Solod: Go can be a better C
This is a very exciting project; love writing go with the tooling, but I miss writing C from my getting started days
ghthor··on I love LLMs, I hate hype
Qtips are made for cleaning your ears. It says not to do that so they are NOT sued every time some idiot fucks up their ear with one.
ghthor··on Lore – Open source version control system designed for scalability
Of all the places to complain about a problem like this…
ghthor··on Show HN: I built 80 mini-games using Fable before it was shut down
Tetris specifically cannot be called Tetris or use the original shapes verbatim or it’s up for legal action.

I made a Tetris clone and then researched this. Soiadded a Q shape and AFAI can tell that makes mine a little safe

ghthor··on Labor Is a Market Distortion, we need VAT and UBI
There is something to be said here, the government may be democratic but almost all of us are subservient to fascist corporations. Employee owned companies is a great start to get out of this mess
ghthor··on Changing How We Develop Ladybird
I wasn’t around much before GitHub so. I believe I tried submitting patches to the XFCE project but I didn’t get anything accepted to FOSS before GitHub.

In this type of system, if I am competent and can contribute how to do I? By reviewing the maintainers PRs, helping fill out more info for bug reports / root causing?

There had to be some way for a competent user to get involved enough to become a familiar handle to the maintainers and be seen as a possible future maintainer/ expert contributor right?

ghthor··on A Bipartisan Amendment Would End Police License Plate Tracking Nationwide
That’s all well and good, but making that dataset also means it will be leaked
ghthor··on The main thing about P2P meth is that there's so much of it (2021)
Chronic Back pain is correlated with emotional trauma. The physical body is a mere projection of the energetic and spiritual being. This is wahy meditative spiritual practices such as yoga and taiji are good for chronic pain, as the physical pain is a mere projection of a deeper trauma that needs released.
ghthor··on Full-Text Search with DuckDB
You can disable extensions and download them in advance and load those from file path. This is how I’m pinning extensions for a self hosted version of duckdb I setup at work.
ghthor··on Ghostty is leaving GitHub
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
ghthor··on An update on GitHub availability
Yet the Linux kernel is a monorepo
ghthor··on I am building a cloud
Yes I noticed that when designing our ACL usage. I didn’t find it all that useful unless we were inheriting some non tailscale systems with static IPs that we were going to subnet proxy to w/ tailscale.

Tags are just a better way to do this for tailscale only nodes, as now the ACL doesn’t require any change during a device key rotation.

ghthor··on Vibe Coding Will Break Your Company
Yeah, but no needs to pay for software SaaS anymore so no-one is going to be getting a lucky 100MRR business off pure vibecoded software as anyone can just make that in house.
ghthor··on I am building a cloud
You can ack based on groups, and you can out users into groups. So if you auth a node, it’s now your node and the ACL for your user / group will apply.

But yes I don’t think you can ACL based o the hostname

ghthor··on I am building a cloud
We run nomad at work. I’m very happy with it from an administrative standpoint.
ghthor··on Year of the IPv6 Overlay Network
I believe you can disable this and it isn’t really required for TS to work
ghthor··on I made a terminal pager
Still use Wander everyday <3
ghthor··on GitHub Stacked PRs
Yep, very happy with graphite at work.
ghthor··on A brief history of instant coffee
If you’re brewing from ground you really don’t want boiling 212F water as you’ll burn the grounds. I do my pour over at 185F and get smooth ready to drink hot coffee with no/low acidity.
ghthor··on Show HN: Threadprocs – executables sharing one address space (0-copy pointers)
Store all data in one of those nocopy encodings, capnproto/msgpack? Then each language can read the same memory but with the language specific SDK
ghthor··on Ask HN: What is it like being in a CS major program these days?
How are you not learning from reading all the code produced by Claude? Is auditing a new codebase or onboarding to a new project any different from creating a new codebase w/ Claude?

Reading code and understanding it is a very important skill and now might be the most important skill.

ghthor··on A decade of Docker containers
Yeah nix is great for this. Also I can update infrequently and still package anything I want bleeding edge without any big issues other then maybe some build from sourcing.
ghthor··on A decade of Docker containers
Packing software with nix is easier than any other system TBH and just seems to be just getting easier.
ghthor··on A decade of Docker containers
That layering algorithm is also configurable, though I couldn’t really understand how to configure it and just wrote my own post processing to optimize layering for my internal use case. I believe I can open source this w/o much work.

The layer layout is just a json file so it can be post processed w/o issue before passing to the nix docker builders

ghthor··on Tailscale Peer Relays is now generally available
We’ve had issues with the centralized DERPs just blackholing traffic when we startup ephemeral nodes in CI. This is despite us ensuring that all important peers can establish direct connections to each other. But there is some bootstrapping that is happening before both peers negotiate.

Having said this, it’s been almost a year since the last incident of this. It’s been rock solid the last months. Ok sure using these new peer nodes will greatly reduce this from even a chance of happening anymore. :hacks away:

ghthor··on AI fatigue is real and nobody talks about it
Maybe this is why I’m different. I love reviewing code, it’s a great way to learn about a system, get new ideas. Diffs are great, see how things are interconnected
ghthor··on Zig Libc
Don’t do it, your project here on zig is a much larger net positive for civilization than you spending your time at those protests.

<3 zig and want io interface in everything!

ghthor··on Waymo robotaxi hits a child near an elementary school in Santa Monica
This one should have been prevented because the Waymo should have been driving at max 10mph
