tacker2000··on I cancelled Claude: Token issues, declining quality, and poor support
I would say most people are complaining about the $20 plan, which is now actually indistinguishable from the free one. I tested it and ran into limits immediately. With Max, i can work properly again.
tacker2000··on Irony as Meta staff unhappy about running surveillance software on work PCs
You are equating countries with corporations now?

How does that even remotely make sense?

tacker2000··on Irony as Meta staff unhappy about running surveillance software on work PCs
If you work there, you are part of the problem, there is no excuse for that.

Nobody is forcing you to work there.

tacker2000··on Claude Code to be removed from Anthropic's Pro plan?
Funny, I just signed up for Pro a couple hours ago, to check how Claude Code works using this plan, instead of using my API keys.

I got rate limited after about 30mins of coding and was thinking, who the hell i going to work like this?

So they really seem to be running into extreme capacity issued now.

tacker2000··on Tim Cook's Impeccable Timing
Agree with you, but when was Siri ever “well-regarded”?

Its been trash since day 1.

tacker2000··on Salmon exposed to cocaine and its main byproduct roam more widely

tacker2000··on Tim Davis – Probabilistic engineering and the 24-7 employee
Actually i know an engineer at a startup that was hired to clean up the original slopcoded MVP. So there is also opportunity in this space.
tacker2000··on Microsoft suspends dev accounts for high-profile open source projects
In the tech world, security is mostly just a theater , it is used to push though unwanted and unpopular things, like access control, privacy invasion, etc...

All this signing business, leads to one party having the final say, and guess what, they are going to abuse that power...

tacker2000··on We moved Railway's frontend off Next.js. Builds went from 10+ mins to under 2
That's... not quite right :)

React Router, which belongs to Remix, which was acquired by Shopify, is here: https://github.com/remix-run/react-router

Tanstack Router is an entirely new router.

tacker2000··on Amazon rewards loyal Kindle devotees by closing the book on old e-readers
Its quite nice, there is a so called "article mode", where you can set a zoomed portion of the PDF, and configure how it "jumps" to the next page.

tacker2000··on We moved Railway's frontend off Next.js. Builds went from 10+ mins to under 2
TanStack started out by providing a very good JS table library. Now they offer a Router, and some more libs. They are definitely an up and coming name in the JS space.
tacker2000··on Amazon rewards loyal Kindle devotees by closing the book on old e-readers
The Kindle hardware is great, but the software and ecosystem are just crap, and Amazon is making it shittier every year.

I've now moved to an Android eReader (Boox Note 7, for example [1]).

I can just get the Ebook or PDF files and transfer them via Calibre, simple as that, and I can also download any Android app i want. There are tons of apps out there that support eInk screens.

tacker2000··on Software never had a soul
Lots of early internet users were also “gate-kept” in some weird AOL CD land.

Also, you dont need to consume the algo content. You can choose to disengage.

tacker2000··on Starlink Mini as a failover
I agree. As much as Starlink is a technological miracle, the fact that I should finance the dealings of this man is too much.

SpaceX IPO is the next in the long grift chain.

tacker2000··on MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max
It excites me, since I am finally going to replace my 2019 Intel MacBook Pro!
tacker2000··on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
So now all the open source projects that use this walled off closed platform (even though scores of people complained and warned about it) can go back to hopefully using something open and searchable.
tacker2000··on GitHub is down again
Im using Bitbucket for years with no issues.
tacker2000··on More Mac malware from Google search
I agree about the proliferance of curl | bash, but homebrew is not the answer.

They cut support for old platforms way to fast and just in essence try to dictate far too much.

tacker2000··on France dumps Zoom and Teams as Europe seeks digital autonomy from the US
Some are, some arent.

The Bavarian state for example just signed a huge deal with MS.

tacker2000··on France dumps Zoom and Teams as Europe seeks digital autonomy from the US
Since WW2, German national pride is something that is not very well received, added to that the old east/west divide, and the generally strong identification with ones own state/region. It is a complex affair.
tacker2000··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
Whats the best Euro S3 alternative?
tacker2000··on Microsoft forced me to switch to Linux
Why is opening the taskbar right click menu slower on Win11 than on Win95?

Why is there a gap between the menu and the taskbar?

I used to have muscle memory to quickly close windows rightclick taskbar -> leftclick “close” but this stopped working. Why??

tacker2000··on Apple introduces new AirTag with longer range and improved findability
How are Airtags or Airpods simple?

Cramming lots of tech into a small footprint is an extremely complex affair.

tacker2000··on I was a top 0.01% Cursor user, then switched to Claude Code 2.0
Thats the problem, the most “noise” regarding AI is made by juniors who are wowed by the ability to vibe code some fun “sideproject” React CRUD apps, like compound interest calculators or PDF converters.

No mention of the results when targeting bigger, more complex projects, that require maintainability, sound architectural decisions, etc… which is actually the bread and butter of SW engineering and where the big bucks get made.

tacker2000··on Dell admits it made a mistake when it abandoned XPS
What is G&A?
tacker2000··on I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too
This looks interesting, how is the experience?
tacker2000··on Sisyphus Now Lives in Oh My Claude
Why are you being so combative?

I dont understand how you can say that its a bad thing to ask an IT professional community like HN for advice?

I assume you were born with all the knowledge of the world?

tacker2000··on Cloudflare CEO on the Italy fines
Well, what is it now?

UK, Italy, Europe, European Union?

Seems hard to differentiate for many, it seems.

tacker2000··on Cloudflare CEO on the Italy fines
He is mentioning Vance and Musk as beacons of democracy and free speech.
tacker2000··on Cloudflare CEO on the Italy fines
I agree, he seems to be ranting and escalating unnecessarily.
