schwede··on VS Code inserting 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' into commits regardless of usage
Why does the commit editor hide the coauthored message? Why not pre-populate the text field and users take or leave it when committing?
schwede··on Understand Anything
I agree with the sentiment on many of these comments. Understanding something is work and that can’t be offloaded to others or even LLMs.
schwede··on Claude Code refuses requests or charges extra if your commits mention "OpenClaw"
OpenClaw can just rebrand again, problem solved!
schwede··on Why AI Sucks at Front End
Isn’t this still true for the large language models and math is detected and handled by an external tool? Anything you can give as a source for the latest state of the art?
schwede··on No AI in Node.js Core
One reason is that AI can create PRs at a scale that can just overwhelm maintainers not to mention drowning out non-AI PRs.
schwede··on Minecraft Source Code Is Interesting
Why can’t people add a disclaimer when their text was written or edited with AI? That is my completely unrealistic wish for the world today…
schwede··on Every layer of review makes you 10x slower
Definitely goes back earlier for software. See the Mythical Man Month… Growing a team imposes a communication cost.
schwede··on LLVM AI tool policy: human in the loop
This account seems like LLM slop looking at the post history. Who starts every post ‘from Japan’?

I don’t want to interact with hidden chat bots on HN. The irony of this comment about accountability is also frustrating.

schwede··on Tell HN: Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas hackers!
schwede··on Lessons from the PG&E outage
Sending power outage context to the vehicles does not seem like enough of a response. I hope at least they have internal plans for more. For large, complex systems, you want multiple layers of protections. The response feels way too reactive when they could use this incident to guide improvements across the board.
schwede··on It's the end of observability as we know it (and I feel fine)
Maybe I’m just a skeptic, but it seems like a software engineer or SRE familiar with the application should be able to come to the conclusion of load testing fairly easily. For sure not as fast like 80 seconds though which is impressive. As noted you still need an engineer to review the data and complete those proposed action items.
schwede··on Avoiding the soft delete anti-pattern
I think the idea is you could still have a page in the UI that shows archived data but you wouldn’t do that normally with a soft delete. The lifecycle thing makes it up front with the user instead of hiding soft delete as an implementation detail.
schwede··on WTF is a KDF?
What was the password length? How many iterations were used?
schwede··on “I think the vast majority of developers still debug using print() statements”
In Visual Studio if you drag the execution arrow up, it will rewind to that point. It works really well. It’s okay especially useful when you step over a line you wanted to step into instead.
schwede··on Remove YC “[company] is hiring” ads on HN
I hate ads but in all fairness those posts are the most ideal kind of ad. Eg. It’s targeted by virtue of the website, not by harvested user data
schwede··on Show HN: Login with HN (Unofficially)
I think it’s in poor taste to theme your site to look like HN. Feels a little close to phishing.
schwede··on There's been a big rise in monitoring workers at home
Wireshark can pick up any traffic on your WiFi network so they could run something similar.
schwede··on Apple buying Google ads for high-value subscription apps
To me it’s an issue if Apple refuses to stop if a particular business asks them to. That seems like an easy measuring stick.
schwede··on Amazon Time Sync Service
The GPS constellation.
schwede··on No YAML
My interpretation is that since json is JavaScript Object Notation, JS objects can clearly have comments so why limit their usage in json?
schwede··on Bitwarden is now in Arch Linux community repository
Is this the client or the self hosted server? The page doesn’t make that clear.
schwede··on Collusion rings threaten the integrity of computer science research
Too much focus on the individuals and not enough focus on the systematic problem, at least according to the author.
schwede··on Open letter from researchers involved in the “hypocrite commit” debacle
I would like see their research proposal to answer some of these questions. That probably won’t happen though.
schwede··on Open letter from researchers involved in the “hypocrite commit” debacle
Except there was no consent from maintainers here.
schwede··on SponsorBlock – Skip over sponsorship segments on YouTube
Yeah, I don’t think many people seeing those ads realize a VPN is almost like choosing a different ISP.
schwede··on Ask HN: What are some “10x” software product innovations you have experienced?
Users aren’t always in control of that though.
schwede··on Does GPT-2 Know Your Phone Number?
That sounds very impractical even if it’s a good solution.
schwede··on TypeScript 4.1
They are probably talking about accepting serialized data coming from a network request. Typescript doesn’t help at the edge if you just cast your JSON blob into your application model.
schwede··on Don't use third party auth to sign in
The reader will still see your title when they visit the house page.
schwede··on How Did Vim Become So Popular?
Vim isn’t just about optimizing input. I would say it’s for optimizing navigation and editing patterns.
