lloydatkinson··on WhatCable: Know what your USB-C cable can do
Are you suggesting there is no middle ground and that simply knowing if a USB-C cable is a USB C cable or a fake one can't be done with a cheap tester?
lloydatkinson··on Choose Boring Technology (2015)
The "content not viewable in your region" images really sets the tone.
lloydatkinson··on Software for One
I care.
lloydatkinson··on Software for One
The article is also obviously written by Claude too. I’m starting to hate the internet.
lloydatkinson··on VMs can't boot with Network Mode set to Bridged on Apple M5 Pro machines
Like that probably still open huge github issue with hundreds of comments, the one about how docker will blow your firewall wide open.
lloydatkinson··on Show HN: I made some transistor animations
This is one of the coolest animation/diagrams I've ever seen, I wish they had them when I did this at uni. It sure beats whiteboards with scribbles and arrows all over it...
lloydatkinson··on Ghost Cut – Or why Cut and Paste is broken everywhere
At first I thought this was going to be the widely reported problem where despite copying something many times it still won't be there in the clipboard. I've even developed a habit of CTRL+C-ing half a dozen times from Chrome just to ensure it really worked.
lloydatkinson··on Original Apollo 11 Guidance Computer source code for command and lunar modules
Given the constant launch delays how could they justify hard coding a 15 day window like this?
lloydatkinson··on How GitHub gave every repository a durable owner
I don't know how I feel about this. Ingenious perhaps. But then again, being assigned some absolute slop riddled with tech debt arbitrarily could be particularly cruel.
lloydatkinson··on LG monitors silently install software through Windows Update without consent
I suppose so?
lloydatkinson··on LG monitors silently install software through Windows Update without consent
That's the second time, probably more, you've been saying this in the thread. Blaming users for "buying" Windows is ridiculous too.
lloydatkinson··on LG monitors silently install software through Windows Update without consent
I'm still angry at how they ruined Overwatch
lloydatkinson··on Rebuilding My Homelab with Compose, Ruby, IPv6, and No Kubernetes
Did you ever consider NixOS for your homelab?
lloydatkinson··on Converting colors in JavaScript at 6B operations per second
Ah is that the phrase for this bullshit, staccato? It's tiring to read.
lloydatkinson··on AI-generated videos to maximally drive a target brain region
There's actual real people working on this bullshit. Horrifying doesn't even come close.
lloydatkinson··on Why developers are ditching GitHub for Codeberg and self-hosting alternatives
This matches my experience of running a public mediawiki server. The bots (mostly Facebook/Meta) will for every single change fetch every single page again, over and over.

I can’t tell if it’s incompetence or malice.

lloydatkinson··on Decoding the obfuscated bash script on a Uniqlo t-shirt
I suppose, but my Debian didn’t seem to ship with it.
lloydatkinson··on We Got This Wrong. and We Are Fixing It
Without the context this isn't very interesting
lloydatkinson··on Decoding the obfuscated bash script on a Uniqlo t-shirt
Debian.
lloydatkinson··on Decoding the obfuscated bash script on a Uniqlo t-shirt
Are we really at the "redditor insult" type comments stage of HN now? There is nothing wrong with saying a piece of code is broken.
lloydatkinson··on Decoding the obfuscated bash script on a Uniqlo t-shirt
P ./cool.sh: line 31: bc: command not found ./cool.sh: line 34: bc: command not found ./cool.sh: line 37: bc: command not found E ./cool.sh: line 31: bc: command not found ./cool.sh: line 34: bc: command not found ./cool.sh: line 37: bc: command not found

Very wow. Shame they assumed everyone has "bc"...

lloydatkinson··on Does code cleanliness affect coding agents? A controlled minimal-pair study
> they don't control for breaking the application's tests.

Essentially it's an absolutely worthless study then. This AI fatigue got boring a long time ago, this is just painful now.

lloydatkinson··on Has_not_been_viewed_much
The first one I got was a palm tree growing out of an orange woman's anus... so, I can see why some of this isn't very popular.
lloydatkinson··on Shadcn/UI now defaults to Base UI instead of Radix
MUI is one of the most dreadful UI libraries I have ever had to use.
lloydatkinson··on Shadcn/UI now defaults to Base UI instead of Radix
Personally I'd prefer React Aria; I don't have the patience to try understand why suddenly everyone is rushing to adopt Base UI instead of Radix which itself was once suddenly the thing everyone rushed to instead of Stitches.

Having a library not in anyway related to that to me feels like a big pro.

I have found React Aria to be very good. I really like how its a set of hooks, a set of premade components using said hooks, and I like how you can choose bits of either approach for your own components. Some of the hooks are very useful.

lloydatkinson··on Goodbye, Forever, Probably
So then why is it posted to a vast audience like HN?
lloydatkinson··on The bottleneck might be the air in the room
I can feel the AI in the text.
lloydatkinson··on Goodbye, Forever, Probably
I think the posts main mistake is expecting the reader to care about or know this author.
lloydatkinson··on Order a burned CD of your own public GitHub repo
But most repos are over ~700MB. Surely a DVD and if not, why not?

Also seems to be a lot of paranoia in here, GitHub posted it: https://x.com/github/status/2072801888525840476

lloydatkinson··on I Am Behind on C# 14 Features, and I Can't Prove It but Does It Matter?
Seems to be a fairly low effort slop article that a lot of Medium is full of
