tailscaler2026··on Htmx 4.0, the first JavaScript library to release exclusively on the Game Boy
That's how progressive enhancement works. The website should work fine if JS is disabled. Then it's faster via htmx if JS is enabled, and more so if the backend is tuned as well.
tailscaler2026··on IRGC claims it destroyed Amazon's Bahrain data center
Despite the destruction, me-south-1 still has more nines than us-east-1

Building on AWS is a financial time bomb.
tailscaler2026··on REO Trucks I4 4WD Pickup Truck Starts at $21,500
Ford Maverick starts at $28k, and they're running about $3k in incentives at the moment. So it's a competitive price but nothing too wild versus what we have already.

tailscaler2026··on StubHub, CEO hit with ‘deceptive practices’ class action over mass scalping
welcome to america 2026. where it's not only encouraged but expected that you're lying, cheating, and stealing your way to the top.

They care. They'll fix it. They just won't pay the bounty for this bug.
tailscaler2026··on Professor denounces mass AI fraud on an exam at Brown
Paying tuition only to cheat on your exams is wild. Why even bother with the degree? Lying on your resumes seems a whole lot faster.
tailscaler2026··on Temporary Cloudflare accounts for AI agents
there's absolutely nothing positive we want to encourage copying from AWS's architectural approach to anything.
tailscaler2026··on DeepSeek Introduces Vision
Just my two cents: I have coworkers who use AI to drive basically all their communication in Slack and I absolutely hate them with a deep passion. I actively avoid meetings, conversations, and exclude them from everything possible.

If you use AI to drive your communication with other humans, you suck.

tailscaler2026··on Why Can't Walnut Creek Build 3 Bedroom Apartments with a Playground?
the world today is banning kids from the internet largely to prevent them from talking to strangers online. i think a scenario where the pedophiles can use waymo to snatch up kids from summer camps might encounter some resistance.
tailscaler2026··on OpenAI mulls slashing prices as it competes with Anthropic for users
OpenAI is full of Trump/MAGA supporters and actively encourages using AI to kill people.

More than happy to watch them lose the global consumer market while they compete with Palantir for DoD contracts.

tailscaler2026··on Anthropic surpasses OpenAI to become most valuable AI startup
for me personally it's two reasons:

1) Brockman ($25M) and Altman ($1M) both personally donated to Trump/MAGA.

2) Anthropic pushed back against DOD's demand for unrestricted use of AI to kill people while OpenAI eagerly said "please use ours!".

tailscaler2026··on Anthropic raises $65B in Series H funding at $965B post-money valuation
dumping ground because they spent the last 20 years convincing everyone with a 401k it belonged in index funds.

index funds will be the cause of the next catastrophic collapse

tailscaler2026··on Anthropic raises $65B in Series H funding at $965B post-money valuation
not really. just a capacity planning issue on that side. much harder challenge is continuing to train better models.
tailscaler2026··on Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs
> It's really hard to justify $1000 for it when the Switch 2 is $450

For someone without an existing library, sure, but if you have a massive existing Nintendo/Switch1 or Steam library, that's going to drive your decision making far more than the price tag.

tailscaler2026··on Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs
apparently not high enough. already OOS.

tailscaler2026··on Cloudflare Flagship
I think feature flags, remote configs, and experiments are all the same thing. Semantically they differ in how you're applying the config and interpreting the outcomes.
tailscaler2026··on Stop throwing AI-generated walls of text into conversations
I don't think redis existed back when this industry was called IT
tailscaler2026··on I returned to AWS and was reminded why I left
I know it's not disclosed. That's why I left this as a warning to others. I can show screenshots of the conversations with AWS support?
tailscaler2026··on AI is making me dumb
Of course it writes a lot of code. It gets paid per token. That's guaranteed future income every additional line of technical debt.
tailscaler2026··on I returned to AWS and was reminded why I left
Anyone considering leaving AWS and thinking they'll transfer all their data for free [1], I've got news for you: It's a lie.

AWS takes as long as possible (for me it was a month) to respond to the initial DTO request, then require you to submit a multi-page form answering a barrage of questions about why you're leaving, where you're going to, what services you used, and estimated data egress. A week or so later, if they approve the request, you're not allowed to begin DTO until 60 days after the approval.

By the time you can egress your data for "free", you've been stuck on AWS for 3-4 months since you first made the decision to leave.

Can you show me where I can purchase a Steam Deck? They're out of stock except overpriced auction sites.
tailscaler2026··on Canvas online again as ShinyHunters threatens to leak schools’ data
Discord is just chat, I wouldn't call it mind-numbing, reminds me perfectly of IRC from a utility perspective.

That said, it's a commercial closed-source single point of failure.

tailscaler2026··on AI slop is killing online communities
Online communities that allow upvoting / downvoting have been effectively dead for a long time because it's easy to manipulate conversations by elevating and punishing comments to fit a narrative. This is especially true on HN.
tailscaler2026··on Alberta voter list leak is a potential public safety disaster
I can't wait for our full biometrics to be leaked every week due to every website and app trying to meet the rampant rise of global age-verification legislation.
