mdrachuk··on How the words we teach English language learners changed
Great work HN team, since it’s indeed an interesting story.
mdrachuk··on Due to DMA, Siri AI delayed in EU for iOS 27 and iPadOS 27
> Developers located in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS and iPadOS.

Well, this can become a an issue.

mdrachuk··on GitHub Actions down again today
Self-hosted action runners are not working too right now.
mdrachuk··on Claude Managed Agents
It’s all good until your production agents deployment has a single 9 uptime. I use Claude Code as my main coding harness daily but making customers reliant on Anthropic software is a big no-no. Quality engineering is just not their thing.
mdrachuk··on What podcasts are you listening to?
I find sort of escape in listening to non-technical podcast giving more of a insight into how broad, curios and overall marvelous and different the world is.

mdrachuk··on Claude Code Remote Control
From the tweet:

> New in Claude Code: Remote Control. > Kick off a task in your terminal and pick it up from your phone while you take a walk or join a meeting. > Claude keeps running on your machine, and you can control the session from the Claude app or http://claude.ai/code

mdrachuk··on Claude Cowork starts rolling out scheduled tasks
So now we can actually make a computer into a proactive agent without Claws. Or does it become a Claw now? xD
mdrachuk··on Why I code as a CTO
> Your job at the top is, more than anything else, pushing down a healthy culture. The CTOs role leading the tech folk to support business goals, which culture a part of. The healthy part is a subjective thing.
mdrachuk··on Ask HN: What projects do you donate to?
And the amazing team at https://savelife.in.ua/en/
mdrachuk··on Notes on rolling out Cursor and Claude Code
> You can see this in practice when you use Claude Code, which is pay-per-token. Our heaviest users are using $50/month of tokens. That’s a lot of tokens.

How is your usage so low! Every time i do anything with claude code i spend couple of bucks, for a day of coding it's about $20. Is there a way to save on tokens on a mid-sized Python project or people are just using it less?

mdrachuk··on DJI Dock 3
The introduction video looks impressive.

mdrachuk··on UK airport scraps 100ml liquid rule with new scanners
There also wasn’t a 9/11 before the 9/11.
mdrachuk··on Castopod – Open-source podcast hosting platform

mdrachuk··on The end of Moore's Law forced YouTube to make its own video chip
Meme? Moore’s meme.
mdrachuk··on My favorite iPhone feature was removed, long live its subpar replacement
I miss 3D Touch. It cut 300ms from many UI actions making you feel like a power user.
mdrachuk··on Bulgaria Freelance Taxes: Detailed Breakdown
Simplified taxation for contractors in Ukraine (pe simplified system) is basically 5% + ~$500. You are allowed to make up to around $250,000 per year this way.
mdrachuk··on Treating beef like coal would make a big dent in greenhouse-gas emissions
Do I need to pay carbon tax on my dog?
mdrachuk··on Tylr: Demo of tile-based editing, a new kind of structure editing
From Twitter: tylr is a tiny interactive exposition of _tile-based editing_, a new kind of structure editing that, like text, supports linear token-level editing workflows but, unlike text, ensures your manipulated tokens can always be parsed back into a valid syntax tree
mdrachuk··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
I had a lot of fun making a less generalized version of that: https://apps.apple.com/ua/app/yosanity-morning/id1500266556

An app just for morning routines, which is important to structure the whole day.

The app is totally free now, it works via iCloud, so I don’t have any servers to maintain.

mdrachuk··on Towards a more Elvish vision for Technology
I’ve never thought like this, but I definitely acted like this. Feels like these two approaches are both part of human nature. From what I understand before agriculture people actually considered themselves as animals, being part of the bigger system.
mdrachuk··on Finish Your Stuff (2015)
Everyone is a creature of habit. So new tools should be tenfold better to kick the habit. Is ripgrep so good? Doubt it, although it’s definitely better.
mdrachuk··on novelWriter – open-source plain text editor designed for writing novels
Is there a story behind that logo?
mdrachuk··on AI designer used in over 20 commercial projects
Here are the claimed designs: https://www.artlebedev.com/nikolay-ironov/
mdrachuk··on PEP 622 – Structural Pattern Matching
So it’s actually a smart switch statement.

Seems like it doesn’t create instances when you’re doing

  Node(children=[Leaf(value="("), Node(), Leaf(value=")")])
instead:

1. Node means "is instance of Node".

2. Everything in between () is "has an attribute with value".

3. List means "the attribute should be treated as a tuple of".. etc..

Very confusing, this definitely needs another syntax, because both newcomers and experienced devs will be prone to read it as plain `==`, since that's how enums and primitives will be working.

This syntax goes against Zen: It’s implicit -- when using match case expressions don't mean what they regularly mean. It’s complicated -- basically it’s another language (like regex) which is injected into Python.

I’m a big believer in this feature, it just needs some other syntax. Using {} instead of () makes it a lot better. Now no way to confuse it with simple equality.

  match node:
    case Node{children=[{Leaf{value="(", Node{}, ...}}
mdrachuk··on PEP 622 – Structural Pattern Matching
BDFL made good points though.
mdrachuk··on Deus Ex at 20: The oral history of a pivotal PC game
Nope, looking forward to remake of original Deus Ex.
mdrachuk··on Deus Ex at 20: The oral history of a pivotal PC game
I think 2007 is exactly the year. I’m playing Bioshock now, so much fun. But Deus Ex from 2000 is clunky.
mdrachuk··on Deus Ex at 20: The oral history of a pivotal PC game
I mean I did play HR, and I’d like to play a remake of a Deus Ex from 2000.
mdrachuk··on Deus Ex at 20: The oral history of a pivotal PC game
I really hope they will make a remake of the originals. I loved Deus Ex: Human Revolution when it was out, but it’s a challenges to enjoy older games most of the time.
mdrachuk··on Fixing indoor air is a way to curb the spread of Covid-19
1. The fact that the humidity is often too low where I am at. I got a humidifier. Before using this thing I had dry nostrils, but never paid attention to it. Now it’s better.

2. The way cooking affects pm2.5. I don’t have great ventilation in the kitchen, so I started ventilating via windows for a better air quality at home. I do not feel effects of this though.

3. How fast the CO2 levels are rising with closed windows. Since my childhood it was regular in my family to sleep with windows closed, and ventilate maybe couple of times per day. And in the summer time the windows were closed when the air was cooled with a conditioner.

It turns out, that in an hour with closed windows the CO2 level is already higher than what is considered healthy. Nowadays it seems like I can say when room needs ventilation without a sensor, just cause I feel the air is not "nutritious" enough. I do feel worse (tired, slight headache) when not ventilating.
