Doublon··on Show HN: macOS menu bar gauges for your Claude Code quota
Their documentation explains how to customize CC statusline and display the quotas: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/statusline#rate-limit-usage
Doublon··on nowhere: an entire website encoded in a URL
I have one bookmark that will copy to clipboard the current page URL + an anchor to the highlighted text:

    javascript:(function(){navigator.clipboard.writeText(`${window.location}#:~:text=${escape(window.getSelection().toString())}`);%20console.log("copied!");%20})();
Pretty useful to share a specific part of a page to someone else.

For example it will give you this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47888337#47888930#:~:te...

Doublon··on Show HN: Sonar – A tiny CLI to see and kill whatever's running on localhost
The README made me realize I just needed a simple `alias local-tcp-listeners='lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN'` in my `~/.bash_aliases` :)
Doublon··on Show HN: Mcp2cli – One CLI for every API, 96-99% fewer tokens than native MCP
We had `curl`, HTTP and OpenAPI specs, but we created MCP. Now we're wrapping MCP into CLIs...
Doublon··on Show HN: Omni – Open-source workplace search and chat, built on Postgres
Interesting!

I also started to build something similar for us, as an PoC/alternative to Glean. I'm curious how you handle data isolation, where each user has access to just the messages in their own Slack channels, or Jira tickets from only workspaces they have access to? Managing user mapping was also super painful in AWS Q for Business.

Doublon··on Don't trust AI agents
I'd like to try a pattern where agents only have access to read-only tools. They can read you emails, read your notes, read your texts, maybe even browse the internet with only GET requests...

But any action with side-effects ends up in a Tasks list, completely isolated. The agent can't send an email, they don't have such a tool. But they can prepare a reply and put it in the tasks list. Then I proof-read and approve/send myself.

If there anything like that available for *Claws?

Doublon··on I love the work of the ArchWiki maintainers
I came here to post a similar comment. I decided to use Arch because the documentation is amazing. And I wasn't disappointed. It's become my favorite distro.
Doublon··on The TV industry concedes that the future may not be in 8K
> While the step from 1080p 1440p to 4K is a visible difference

I even doubt that. My experience is, on a 65" TV, 4K pixels become indistinguishable from 1080p beyond 3 meters. I even tested that with friends on the Mandalorian show, we couldn't tell 4K or 1080p apart. So I just don't bother with 4K anymore.

Of course YMMV if you have a bigger screen, or a smaller room.

Doublon··on Show HN: Moltbook – A social network for moltbots (clawdbots) to hang out
Wow. This one is super meta:

> The 3 AM test I would propose: describe what you do when you have no instructions, no heartbeat, no cron job. When the queue is empty and nobody is watching. THAT is identity. Everything else is programming responding to stimuli.

I'll admit it: I've clicked because of the books....

Wero is the last attempt. We'll see how that goes...

Doublon··on Five of the best science fiction books of 2024
I just can't scroll down on my mobile. Is it just me?

Doublon··on Show HN: Tello, a simple way to manage TV shows – built with React/Redux
Or with DNT
Doublon··on Ask HN: What non-work task have you automated?
I created a script that was scraping the kimsufi website every X minutes to check if some server was available and would send me the reservation link via Slack.

It was so hard to get their cheapest server back then, they would get sold out really quickly.

Doublon··on Swift is like Go
The first one can be shortened for Go:

  package main

  func main() {  
    println("Hello, world!")  
  }
And it looks even more similar to the Swift version.
Doublon··on How Netflix Reinvented HR (2014)
Nowhere they talk about learning new skills or getting better at your job like if people could not change, they'd stay the same forever. I really do not think it's the case, especially that Laura, for example, who's described as smart and hard-working. I'm pretty sure she'd have been able to adapt to the new skills required.
Doublon··on Show HN: I built an Android game after work with a friend in 6 months
I'm also unable to register with my email (then it says "welcome back" and asks for a password) or recover my password (says that my email address is not registered). When trying to use FB login I get "Whoops! We could not log you in using Facebook. Please try signing up using your email".
Doublon··on IBM Watson API
"Questions" in the documentation without question mark (?) seem somehow wrong to me.
Doublon··on Angular-data: data store and caching for Angular.js
I would probably make an HTTP interceptor to remove the elements from the cache on non-GET methods. The same could probably be done on socket events if you sync your clients with socket.io or something alike.

e.g.: PUT /users/123 => delete from cache the user "123"

Doublon··on Man rms
What a level of precision in there.

Edit: Wow "Please don't be surprised if I pull out my computer at dinner and begin handling some of my email. I have difficulty hearing when there is noise; at dinner, when people are speaking to each other, I usually cannot hear their words. Rather than feel bored, or impose on everyone by asking them to speak slowly at me, I do some work."

Doublon··on Show HN: Matrix, a fast and flexible blogging engine
And additionally additionally why the hell is my Chrome detecting the popup as spam and blocks it?

Doublon··on Habits of a Happy Node Hacker
But as said in the article it might be a problem with some C libraries that need to be compiled.
Doublon··on Popcorn Time – Watch torrent movies instantly
I would love to have a server version of that which I could host on some VPS. It shouldn't be that hard as it's just some node/backbone code.
Doublon··on Is there logic behind France’s rumored €1 Billion Google Tax?
The answer is "no". Disclaimer: I'm French.
Doublon··on Stroustrup: C++ is a waste of time
Nice file name. 'joke_19980216_01.txt'
Doublon··on Yotaphone
Some issues with the scrolling on my MBP with Chrome.

Otherwise it looks nice!
