gregoriol··on Claude Code users hitting usage limits 'way faster than expected'
Is that really on BBC? what a world we live in...
gregoriol··on Hold on to Your Hardware
You are missing one important part: maintenance. While on a managed service, dozens of hours of maintenance are done by someone, when you are self-hosting, you'll be doing 3 times that, because you can't know all the details of making so many tools work, because each tool will have to be upgraded at some point and the upgrade will fail, because you have to test you backups, and many many more things to do in the long run.

So yeah, it's fun. But don't under-estimate that time, it could easily be your time spent with friend or family.

gregoriol··on Swift 6.3
That is going to be used... less than Swift for the servers
gregoriol··on Apple Business
By excellent, you mean excellent at not being able to talk to someone about your real world problem and need to rely on your linkedin contacts to find someone to talk to?
gregoriol··on Apple Business
In any serious business, you don't want people to use their personal Apple IDs: that could lock their company provided devices for ever when they leave, you also don't want to buy them apps that you won't be able to re-use when they leave, ...
gregoriol··on Overcoming the friendship recession
This is the worst: people who use them hate the receiver
gregoriol··on I built an AI receptionist for a mechanic shop
The poster has built something that, while technically interesting, is profoundly annoying as a user and deserves to be backlashed to prevent more of this kind of stuff to be built
gregoriol··on LLMs can be exhausting
LLMs can be exhausting because you are processing more information per hour than you used to do: first because LLMs know much more than you did and they provide that to you at a quick pace, second because you have to think about more difficult stuff like decisions/architecture/edge-cases than you did before when you managed on average more smaller details and less big picture.

Working with an LLM is kind of like working with one (or more) junior developer(s): try that first, then you'll really see how LLMs can be (less) exhausting.

gregoriol··on LLMs can be exhausting
Here you are describing any job, nothing related to LLMs.
gregoriol··on I found 39 Algolia admin keys exposed across open source documentation sites
Why contact Algolia when it is the users' responsibility to handle their keys? Contact all the users.
gregoriol··on China's 450kmph bullet train is the fastest ever built
There is show and there is reality: French TGV achieved 574,8 km/h in 2007 for show, but it was under specific conditions, not in real world conditions.

While it is technically proven that it is possible to do 400+km/h on rail, it's not practical: maintenance, wear, noise, turns, embranchement, and overall cost, ... many considerations that are probably less important for Chinese railway now, which needs some "show".

gregoriol··on Don't use passkeys for encrypting user data
2FA is more secure than 1FA even if that one has a high security level
gregoriol··on Claude Code Remote Control
Yes and no: I hope (not verified) that regular claude code client only sends requests, and doesn't open ports for remote access
gregoriol··on Claude Code Remote Control
I really don't want to trust an AI company with a remote access door on my setup
gregoriol··on Firefox 148 Launches with AI Kill Switch Feature and More Enhancements
Until it's not maintained, like most Thunderbird forks so far
gregoriol··on FreeBSD doesn't have Wi-Fi driver for my old MacBook, so AI built one for me
I've had a similar experience with a very long standing bug on a github project that really annoyed me but I didn't have time nor experience with the project's context to work on it. So Claude investigated and after many iterations (>100, very complex project), it managed to make it work.
gregoriol··on Acme Weather
Funniest thing is how they leave the company they sold their weather app to... to start another weather app.
gregoriol··on Acme Weather
I'd love to see some stats on this: people leaving to start something new (be it Apple or any other acquiring company) might be over-represent because there is not much news about people staying in their job
gregoriol··on AI is not a coworker, it's an exoskeleton
I see it more like the tractor in farming: it improved the work of 1 person, but removed the work from many other people who were in the fields doing things manually
gregoriol··on macOS Tahoe 26.3 is Broken
They do x.y.z versionning where x is often a marketing version so they have to say something at the WWDC. Here on 26 it's more than marketing, but that's not always the case. y versions often contain bug fixes but also new features.
gregoriol··on macOS Tahoe 26.3 is Broken
That's usually true with Apple for .0 releases: never install those if you need to work with macOs, iOS, ... but this Tahoe version has revealed itself as being in a sad state even after the .1 .2 and now .3 It's not unfair for it to have earned the title of Windows Vista of macOs, something has become really wrong with the management of that release.
gregoriol··on macOS Tahoe 26.3 is Broken
Yeah the title is annoying because it doesn't say what is broken. The user has a quite specific problem and the title should reflect that.

However overall the title has some truth: Tahoe of all versions fits the most the description of broken. It's the Windows Vista of macOs versions.

gregoriol··on Show HN: I built a tool to un-dumb Claude Code's CLI output (Local Log Viewer)
It says something about the dev
gregoriol··on Show HN: I built a tool to un-dumb Claude Code's CLI output (Local Log Viewer)
I checked the repository and it has >20 config files, just for a simple tool, something is terribly in todays development
gregoriol··on LiftKit – UI where "everything derives from the golden ratio"
It's not that there is anything to like or dislike: it's just that there is no "design" in it, nothing to reference
gregoriol··on LiftKit – UI where "everything derives from the golden ratio"
Chrome is so much not a reference in design that we should take this take carefully
gregoriol··on Mermaid ASCII: Render Mermaid diagrams in your terminal
You can put ASCII diagrams in code comments.

Also Claude code in the terminal can show them.

gregoriol··on Improving the usability of C libraries in Swift
Sure they will keep C/C++, and various low-level code: Swift is nice for developers but slow for execution (compared tose).
gregoriol··on I was banned from Claude for scaffolding a Claude.md file?
Try to get banned from any of these, or from the banking system, and find out
gregoriol··on Running Claude Code dangerously (safely)
Not if you require auth with a Yubikey, not if you run the LLM client inside a VM which doesn't have your private ssh key, ...
