herpdyderp··on Need for Speed Underground 2 online in the browser
Same, I still play the OG NFS Hot Pursuit, High Stakes, Porsche Unleashed.
herpdyderp··on MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch
I've been an Apple die hard ever since the OG iMac (still love those things). Never before have I so strongly felt the pull to Linux.
herpdyderp··on FrontierCode 2.0
I'm super bummed about this. FrontierCode 1.1 is my favorite benchmark and this has dramatically different results, I don't trust it at all!
herpdyderp··on No more icons in every menu by default
There are a lot of us that aren't making it up as we go. There is plenty of knowledge and experience on how to do these things and Apple used to be the king of it. For some reason they started throwing it all away with Liquid Glass.
herpdyderp··on The Future of CSS
A bit strange to me how Josh beings with heralding the browsers working together and then every mentioned feature is Chrome only. They're nice previews for a potential future I suppose!
herpdyderp··on Apple broke an essential presentation feature of iPads
I just updated my iPad to 27 the other day and it's incredible how much of it is simply broken now. Luckily I haven't updated anything else yet (and now I don't plan to).
herpdyderp··on Redesigning source control at Anthropic
Git already is a bottleneck!
herpdyderp··on Redesigning source control at Anthropic
I want this so badly. If Anthropic released this I would start using it on day one. If they launched a GitHub competitor built around it I would pay for it on day one.
herpdyderp··on Incident with Actions, Pull Requests and Issues
From what I understand, it's mostly because Azure is a huge dumpster fire
herpdyderp··on Cloudflare acquires Deno
I tried using JSR for about a week, but the restrictions were so tight I gave up.
herpdyderp··on Our $445M Series D
Exactly, no pricing page. Not worth my time to get involved in contract negotiation as a dev when all I want to know is if it's even feasible to try out.
herpdyderp··on Our $445M Series D
I'm interested in exploring what it would be like to use them but... there's no pricing page? I don't even know where to begin.
herpdyderp··on OLED burn-in test: 30-month update
When did they switch to high glare screens? I thought that was the original style for Apple.
herpdyderp··on Animated ASCII Art for Web Pages
Wish I could force it to play!
herpdyderp··on GitHub Incident with Git Operations, Pull Requests and Actions
According to themselves, 225 million people.

herpdyderp··on State of Devs 2026 survey results: developers are exhausted
I, for one, have grown exhausted of these surveys so haven't participated for a couple years now.
herpdyderp··on "I'm Embarrassed on Behalf of the Tech Industry"
I feel the same. I have, however, discovered joy in running my own personal cloud with Tailscale, some Raspberry Pi's, Mac desktops, Jellyfin / Plex, and lots of personal mini web apps.

While, to me this feels like edging towards IoT, it's not something the layman home automation enthusiast understands (their eyes gloss over when I talk about it).

herpdyderp··on The technology to eradicate mosquito-borne disease exists
Why is Bill Gates a red flag? I am under the impression that he's done a lot of good for the world, especially around AIDs research.
herpdyderp··on Ask HN: What are you reading?
I haven't read books in years. I read an incredible amount of code, does that count?
herpdyderp··on Claude Opus 5.5
Probably one gets there first, then the other rush-releases theirs.
herpdyderp··on Claude Opus 5.5
When you need to disable data retention, you cannot use subscription plans.
herpdyderp··on Apple has added persistent 'ads' to iOS, and it's driving users crazy
Is this a bigger problem on iOS 27? Should I continue to stay on 18?
herpdyderp··on Amazon blocks Meta’s new Muse AI agent from shopping on amazon.com
I still prefer the Amazon shopping experience to anything else, unless I already know the product is available locally. The primary quality problem I've run into is the quality of the products themselves.
herpdyderp··on Cloudflare Quick Tunnels
I pay Tailscale nothing, why switch?
herpdyderp··on GitHub is having trouble counting things
I don't believe this is true of the past, but it'd be quite the twist if the extinguish phase was really just pure incompetence this whole time. It certainly seems that way right now with GitHub.
herpdyderp··on OpenAI expands ChatGPT ads with Sponsored Agents
Even if it's not necessary, it brings more money.
herpdyderp··on LG denies TV spying claims, says tracking and snooping concerns 'not true'
That's too bad! Which Pi version and RAM configuration did you try?
herpdyderp··on google.com/goto: Google's anti-scraping update
That's it. I'm done with Google search. I just found you can add Kagi to Safari: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kagi-for-safari/id1622835804
herpdyderp··on LG denies TV spying claims, says tracking and snooping concerns 'not true'
I've gotten frustrated enough with my Apple TV that once my gen of hardware is no longer supported I'll replace it with a Raspberry Pi. I don't need fancy apps, just a browser for Jellyfin and (sometimes) YouTube. Any other incidental streaming service usage can also be done through a browser anyway.
herpdyderp··on Fuck it, make it anyway
There's a different bar for maintenance though. Many games exist in a single point in time, they ship and are done, whereas the goal with SaaS is to support the code forever.
