jhogervorst··on Updated Docker PHP images now available
Most tags seem to be visible now!
jhogervorst··on Some updated Docker PHP images available - not all yet
You're right, I was too enthusiastic… Let's hope they will all be there soon!
jhogervorst··on PHP 8.2.35
The PR with the update is here: https://github.com/docker-library/php/pull/1694

Looks like we need to be patient:

> Why is this not merged yet?

> I'm not a maintainer and can not merge this. Please wait until a maintainer has come around to look into this.

> This is merged, but I cannot find the image?

> After this PR has been merged, more steps are to be taken, including an upstream merge on docker-library/official-images and subsequent image builds. For a full description of the timeline, please refer to docker-library/faq#an-images-source-changed-in-git-now-what.

jhogervorst··on Site Is Closed on Sundays
I happened to want to order something there last Sunday. While digging into it, I notice that their closure seemed to be implemented only on the frontend using JS. By disabling some scripts, I was able to add products to my cart, which normally isn't possible on Sundays.

In the end, I didn't proceed to place my order on Sunday. It felt a bit disrespectful, and it was already late. (So I ordered half an hour later, which was technically Monday.)

jhogervorst··on Uber shuts operations in Nigeria and Uganda with immediate effect
According to some people on X, they shut down immediately, while rides were still active. Sounds like an unplanned (and quite crazy) action.

jhogervorst··on Discovering Cryptographic Weaknesses with Claude
Late reply — my Hacker News reading app doesn’t give alerts on replies.

You’re right, I don’t have an inner monologue.

Only when I think about words or text literally, like when formulating this reply, I ‘sense’ the words that I come up with. Though I don’t ‘hear’ them.

I also have aphantasia. I can’t mentally ‘see’ things when I imagine them. I can ‘sense’ them, just like the words I formulate. It’s as if I know the thing I imagine is there, but it’s behind a blackout curtain.

Interesting topics! How little we still know about our own brain. And how different our brains seem to work.

jhogervorst··on The Warp Agent CLI
I feel the same. I also really liked the text input. The suggestions and autocomplete where also easy to use. And the block-based approach, with easy copying and sharing (through a URL), were super useful at times.

And for the AI part, the AI command generation (from plain text) was great. Also the follow-up command suggestions were handy sometimes.

Too bad Warp entered enshittification (already some time ago). Any (open source) alternatives for the good parts?

> Can't you type faster than you speak? Doesn't your speaking inhibit your thinking?

For me personally: no, I speak faster than I type; and speaking actually helps me get more ideas compared to typing.

(Not sure if that’s due to having no typing speed barrier, or maybe because speaking activates different parts of the brain.)

Once you get over the feeling of self-consciousness, it’s a great way. I even go on short walks sometimes and mumble to my phone to prepare some long prompt. Thinking works even better, when walking outside :-)

jhogervorst··on Jim's TrueType QR Code Font
A fun benefit seems to be that you can select the QR code as text and copy it, which puts the original text in your clipboard.
jhogervorst··on Community firmware for the Xteink X4 e-paper reader
Cool app! Have you considered integrating with Readwise Reader? I would love something like that.
jhogervorst··on I tried building my startup entirely on European infrastructure
> There's also the matter that, ethically, openprovider seems to be heavily focusing on domain name speculators as clients

Do you have more info about that? I'm a customer of them and didn't know this.

I actually noticed that quite a lot of (smaller) hosting providers are also customers of Openprovider. (When transferring some domains from other providers to my account as Openprovider, they turned out to be internal transfers.) So I'm a bit surprised about it.

jhogervorst··on I tried building my startup entirely on European infrastructure
Agree! If you have a number of domains and can justify a membership, they Openprovider (NL) is a good option.

Some foreign extensions are quite expensive though. I happened to be looking into that yesterday, and Netim (FR) seems to be a good option for that. For the two extensions I need, they were among the cheapest with renewals.

jhogervorst··on LG UltraFine Evo 6K 32-inch Monitor Review
I’ve been using one for over five years, exclusively with MacBooks which were always powered by the display. I haven’t had any issues with mine. (Except maybe once last year, when it wouldn’t turn on. I had to unplug the display from the power and plug it back in.)
jhogervorst··on CSS Grid Lanes
Oh, that's nice for sure! Has it been announced anywhere?
jhogervorst··on Accepting US car standards would risk European lives
Has anyone found petitions against this that we can sign?
jhogervorst··on Android and iPhone users can now share files, starting with the Pixel 10
I was wondering the same. Looking at the statements in the posts, I think so?
jhogervorst··on Benefits of choosing email over messaging
> (If anyone knows of a tool that helps me rapidly clean up my gmail, please let me know).

I’ve used Leave Me Alone (leavemealone.com) for cleaning up my subscriptions. It scans your past messages for subscriptions, sorts them by most frequent messages, and allows to unsubscribe (and delete) with one click. It’s a nice tool for this purpose.

jhogervorst··on Show HN: Wispr Flow – A new voice dictation experience
Anyone knows which model(s) are used in Flow?
jhogervorst··on Ask HN: Is there room for a new email hosting service?
What do you dislike about Fastmail? I'm curious, since I've been using it for a while and I'm quite happy with it.
jhogervorst··on Just got a MacBook Pro for work; what are your tips?
Speed up the showing/hiding animation of the Dock by running this in Terminal[1]:

  defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -int 0
  defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0.4
  killall Dock

jhogervorst··on About Security Keys for Apple ID
> For hardware security keys, you can buy multiple keys, register all of them, and keep them in different places. Then if you lose one you just use one of the others (and register a replacement to maintain redundancy).

Do I need to have all keys in my physical possession to register them with a new account?

I could imagine having some backup keys in different places, but if I need to collect them every time I want to register them for some new account or service, it sounds like a lot of trouble.

(And if the process is too much trouble, the result would be that: (1) I don't use the hardware keys for those accounts, which is less secure; (2) I only register my primary key that I keep nearby, which is dangerous if it would get lost or broken; or (3) my backup keys end up at the same place as the primary one, due to forgetting or being too lazy to put them back, which is also dangerous…)

jhogervorst··on Show HN: Crocodile - Better code review for GitHub
Nice idea! I'd be interested in giving it a try for our project in the future.

It does seem that the demo review is broken in Safari, I get a JS error and the UI doesn't seem to work completely:

> [Error] TypeError: e.connect is not a function. (In 'e.connect(l,s)', 'e.connect' is undefined)

Also, is there any way to keep up-to-date on the project? I don't see a newsletter or Twitter link on your homepage.

jhogervorst··on Show HN: Crocodile - Better code review for GitHub
Another +1 for suggestions (with 'commit now' button). It's the thing I love most about GitHub PRs, and I wouldn't consider leaving it for a solution without it :-)
