konsalexee··on P99 0 ms* autocomplete for 240M domain names
Where did you get that?? Did you even read the post?
konsalexee··on Htmx 4.0
Nope, this kind of app will hold a ton of business logic in the JS side, so HTMX is irrelevant in this context.
konsalexee··on Atom is better than RSS, in ways that matter
I think literally 90% of people that know RSS, if you ask them what Atom is, they will probably reply RSS.

I liked thought the article as I never deep dived in the differences

konsalexee··on Cookware Got Worse on Purpose: Who Owns Pyrex and All-Clad Now
For real, not sure why HN does not take seriously the fact the reporting farming accounts should be nowadays a baked in feature.

I appreciate that it’s minimal in functionality, but times changes and slop infiltrates every single platform, HN no exception

konsalexee··on How Google helped destroy adoption of RSS feeds (2023)
Just why bother relying on Google products for RSS?

I use for the last many years NetNewsWire and have never had any problems reading the news I want to read.

konsalexee··on Puberty blockers trial can start recruiting children
> Puberty blockers are safe, effective, and generally reversible

Any credible studies to back this up? I find the contrary when I looked last time around, and it does not feel reversible when you disrupt the most important phase of your development (body wise).

But maybe I miss context here so happy to learn

konsalexee··on Puberty blockers trial can start recruiting children
> Campaigners who brought the legal action had argued the safeguards in place were inadequate and raised concerns about the long-term physical and psychological effects on young people.

What exactly are the safeguards for real? It’s literally irreversible damage when you mess up with hormones while on puberty.

I am conflicted myself, but I think I err on the side of caution and think that avoiding messing with your hormones should be no brainer.

konsalexee··on Book Corners: Community map of neighborhood book exchange spots
Nice idea i even found on my city in Sweden! How to you get the data for those exchange spots? Maybe it was in the website and i missed it
konsalexee··on It's getting harder to focus every day
I feel quite the same (struggle basically) as the OP.

My “stack” is self-control for blocking social and Gmail access.

And now I built QuiteCode to focus on deep coding and learning on a more mindful way.

konsalexee··on Supplement that binds to microplastics may remove them from our body
IFF this holds true, this is going to be the biggest biohacking supplement of the next decade for sure.

Making this bold assumption as I don’t see yet a valid way to remove plastic from the modern supply chains. It’s embedded in every aspect of our lives so this will be huge if it holds true.

konsalexee··on LLM Networking with MikroTik
Finally the Confluence pages were really bad.

Thankfully at least LLMs could figure out things t help me setup SXT LTE 7

konsalexee··on Cherry, A firewall against AI-generated PRs
Hey Hackers,

We are building Cherry, a tool designd to solve the "spam crisis" currently hitting open-source maintainers.

With the rise of LLMs and agents, the volume of low-quality, automated PRs is making it impossible to find the good contributions.

How we want Cherry to work: - Connects to your repo: We monitor incoming PRs. - Whitelists the good bots: Dependabot, Linear agent etc., get a pass. - Verifies the humans: We intercept new/unknown contributors and ask them to verify their intent and understanding of the code before the PR alerts the maintainers. - Silences the rest: Low-effort scripts and drive-by spam get filtered out.

We are trying to walk the line between stopping spam and remaining open to new developers. It’s a hard problem.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on how to solve this without discouraging legitimate junior developers. What kind of heuristics do you currently use manually that we could automate?

konsalexee··on I hate WebKit: A (non) love letter from a Tauri developer
I’ve been working on Hopp (a low-latency screen sharing app) using Tauri, which means relying on WebKit on macOS. While I loved the idea of a lighter binary compared to Electron, the journey has been full of headaches.

From SVG shadow bugs and weird audio glitching to WebKitGTK lacking WebRTC support on Linux, I wrote up a retrospective on the specific technical hurdles we faced. We are now looking at moving our heavy-duty windows to a native Rust implementation to bypass browser limitations entirely.

konsalexee··on Firefox shipped proper profile manager
Being honest, that was one of the main deal breakers. Profile management, so we do not have work tabs spilling over into our personal space.

It was indeed long supported, but not a smooth experience. Have anyone tried the new profile management out?

konsalexee··on Demystifying Agentic Memory
In this pipeline, aren't alternative approaches like turbopuffer efficient?

Meaning no much pruning in the space, but utilizing Object storage for long term retention, and cache-hit staying in nvme?

Curious how it compares as companies like Linear and Cursor are using it but not sure if it would help in this case.

Wow did not know this, thanks for reporting, will probably then skip the video and add something more light-weight.
konsalexee··on Show HN: We built an open-source alternative to expensive pair programming apps
Pair programming though is not only editor interactions. Debugging through logs, drawing etc are happening outside an IDE.
konsalexee··on Show HN: We built an open-source alternative to expensive pair programming apps
Before starting Hopp and searching for alternatives, one of the things I really liked was Zed's paradigm around collaboration, with its Collab panel and Channels.

The streaming quality was also quite good with Zed. VSCode and JetBrains pairing features were a pain, as you needed to share a URL. The experience in general was not optimal. Not something you want to do multiple times a day.

With Zed, the only drawback was that the scope is always IDE (view mode also for whole screen). But from my experience, pairing is more than your IDE. It's terminal, debugging your unnecessarily complex AWS setup, fiddling with Grafana dashboards, etc.

If you enjoy Tuple, we just silently open-sourced Hopp (one of the maintainers here), we are still in Beta era, but would love some feedback!

I think eventually all OSS projects/repos will suffer with this.

My bet is that git hosting providers like GitHub etc. should start providing features to allow us for better signal/noise ratio

konsalexee··on Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY does not scale
I think the title is stating this: "Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY does not scale"

That means for moderate cases you do not even have to care about this. 99% of PostgreSQL instances out there are not big "scale".

As a sr. engineer is your responsibility to make a decision if you will build for "scale" from day zero or ignore this as you are mindful that this will not affect you until a certain point.
