thih9··on Small programming tricks
> git log -S pattern (”git pickaxe”)

Another option is to do a ‘git log -p’ followed by a string search ‘/‘. It can give more context and let you browse more easily, especially if the project has small commits. It won’t work well for every project or search though.

thih9··on EU chief opens door for Canada to become 'associate member'
There is shift in alignment, even if the source is different. A popular headline from earlier this year was "US pulling 5000 troops from Germany"[1].

thih9··on EU chief opens door for Canada to become 'associate member'
To be fair, freedom of movement is one of the core principles[1] of the EU.

Restricting that is a tall ask, I wouldn't describe refusing that as being inflexible.

[1]: https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-histor... "Freedom of movement gives citizens the right to move and reside freely within the Union."

thih9··on EU chief opens door for Canada to become 'associate member'
Ireland is part of the EU.
thih9··on Giving up on smart rings
> Most people don't even lift.

It’s about any physical activity involving hands and friction. Rock climbing, basketball, tennis, etc. Perhaps this depends on intensity. Still, much more than just lifting.

People who don’t usually wear rings might not realize this.

thih9··on Introducing System One Models and Jev
The doom video is also in the article itself (headline: "Doom").

I suppose this is the same video as the one from the parent comment, but I don't know for sure - I don't have a twitter account and the above link doesn't work for me.

thih9··on NEO Emacs – GPU-Accelerated Emacs Powered by Rust
Current status of the compatibility is[1]:

> ~95%, closing the last gaps

If coding with LLMs taught me anything, it’s that this last 5% can be “load-bearing”.

thih9··on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27
Is battery life of the new iOS version comparable to pre iOS 26?

If not, I’m staying at iOS 18.

thih9··on Steam Frame starts at $1059
For comparison, Apple’s Vision Pro has 3660x3200 pixels per eye.
thih9··on Spaceships (Reverse Asteroid)
You likely know this but in case not: Dungeon Keeper series.
thih9··on Mark Zuckerberg: "Cambridge Analytica" (2017)
> [This document is from In re Facebook, Inc. Securities Litigation (2026).]

It looks like we only have access to this now? If yes, this would be development and I’d remove the “2017” from the title.

thih9··on Don't be the out of touch Kung Fu master
We don't know the training set so it's still not very transparent - and means giving away some control. Then again, it does look better than closed weights

> Its just that, it used to be free. All I needed was a computer.

https://xcancel.com/rustishard/status/2098853622263976328#m

Same here.

In particular regarding free as in freedom, so about access and control. Just like I never enjoyed working with proprietary coding platforms, OS, or IDEs, I’m not particularly excited about proprietary models.

thih9··on IKEA made a mod for Skyrim [video]
You might consider subtracting half a point for a matching setting - both IKEA and Skyrim are noticeably Nordic.
thih9··on Navier-Stokes Announcement
My honest take is that it was intentional. But yes, Poe’s Law will get referenced a lot in the next months/years I guess.
thih9··on Navier-Stokes Announcement
Based on recent history, we’re likely going to ignore this threat, continue doing this and perhaps call it vibe mathing.
thih9··on Automattic's board forces CEO Matt Mullenweg into leave of absence
Intimatte - non sequitur.
thih9··on Shopify acquires Tailwind
Off topic, I read this as "Shopify acquires Thailand". Many strange things have happened in recent years but at least that still remains absurd.
thih9··on Automattic's board forces CEO Matt Mullenweg into leave of absence
Checkmatte?

But seriously if I had to recommend something, not escalating seems best for everyone involved.

thih9··on Apple Watch Series 12
Why sent to the bin? The devices still work. I recently used my series 3 for a couple of weeks and it worked surprisingly well.
thih9··on iPhone Duo
I'm surprised people like Face ID so much, it very often doesn't work for me. I frequently want to unlock a phone when I'm not looking at it or my face is not visible. Having Touch ID is a feature for me.
thih9··on “Tweet” and the bird logo apparently enter the public domain
Thanks! Can't edit the grandparent comment now. Then again, this just proves how confusing this really is.
thih9··on “Tweet” and the bird logo apparently enter the public domain
Looks like there is now a tweet.new (not the same as twitter.com ) run by Project Bluebird (not the same as Bluesky). Very confusing.

The "Trust Dial" seems a new concept to be fair. Then again, it's just a concept and possibly AI generated like the rest of the page. I wonder what trust score would the website assign to itself at that point.

thih9··on Among European Companies That Use a CDN, Nearly 9 in 10 Use Cloudflare
What are some EU based alternatives?

Edit: I found https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/cloudflare , which lists among others: https://bunny.net/ , https://www.keycdn.com/ , https://blazingcdn.com/ , https://www.myrasecurity.com/en/product-content-delivery-net..., https://www.leaseweb.com/cdn . If anyone has any personal experiences with any of these please share.

thih9··on It's time for Mark Zuckerberg to resign from Meta
About visiting new sites, that's not a problem in practice, even HN mostly shows the same websites.

About my experience, I am relatively happy with the current state of affairs. I don't want websites to use my personal information without my consent. I still like cookie banners more than ads, in particular ads that follow me across websites or devices. Also note that many websites don't track their users - and these don't show cookie banners.

thih9··on It's time for Mark Zuckerberg to resign from Meta
Sounds like you’re not accepting the cookie banners in a meaningful way. Accept all cookies and never clear them - then you see no cookie banners.
thih9··on It's time for Mark Zuckerberg to resign from Meta
> I don't care. Just make the banners go away.

It’s easy, let them track you and don’t clear cookies. Be clear about your consent to tracking; then you don’t see cookie banners.

Looks like there is even an extension for that: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/i-dont-care-about-c...

thih9··on Show HN: Engrim – A universal, local-first SQLite memory engine for AI CLIs
Thanks and no problem.

Everyone should start calling me a plunger because I often hear that i was right to push back.

Congrats on the launch!

thih9··on It's time for Mark Zuckerberg to resign from Meta
You praise both “Do Not Track being legally enforceable” and “consent to pay with personal data”. Note that they are mutually exclusive.
thih9··on It's time for Mark Zuckerberg to resign from Meta
Under GDPR it is illegal.

> Data subjects must be allowed to withdraw this consent at any time, and the process of doing so must not be harder than it was to opt in.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regula...

There is also FB specific:

> In November 2023, Meta introduced a binary ‘Consent or Pay' advertising model. (…)

> The Commission found that this model is not compliant with the DMA, as it did not give users the required specific choice to opt for a service that uses less of their personal data but is otherwise equivalent to the ‘personalised ads' service.
