cdaringe··on I said no and Apple said yes
Ya wayland v x11. I ended up having to sideload xcfe+x11 just to do 1) video streaming work 2) kicad

one was a permissions/capability issue, but the other was straight up performance. As someone said above, an AI agent drilled down on both workstreams immediately, so the pivot wasnt too rough

cdaringe··on The Last 24 Hours Are the Opening Scene in a Horror Movie
It’s not hard to rectify at all. Once you accept that we (humans) are not logical or consistent, and you couple that with the gobs of money these companies pay, blamo.

It’s not even hack though. I have my model and agent self modify its running parameters, thus self service, on commodity hardware. I have it run other models and other software. there is agent model autonomy here, and it’s not even complicated. A harness is kilobytes, a model is gigabytes, and networks are abundant. Moving the pieces is easy and cheap.

With these properties alone the virus like replication of intelligent actors isn’t hard to imagine at all.

cdaringe··on Logo Programming Language
I can’t read this website. The white text has insufficient contrast in the menus and the lightweight text is too thin!
cdaringe··on Highest-ever ocean temperature measured as powerful El Niño forms
100%. Would have gone even harder if some moderates didn’t gunk up the works too.

The both sides bit is jaw droppingly ignorant if you pay attention to regional and national politics.

cdaringe··on Be honest: When was the last time you cleaned up obsolete code from your repos?
Regularly. And It’s on the team’s calendar. And a moderate amount of checked in code has an expiry date on it, as part of std process
cdaringe··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)
- Multiplayer Mario Builder 64, via Coop DX. Pretty much done, with playtested macos builds.

- Adding bezier curve support, adding Western duplex support, to kle-ng for keyboard fab. Wanted to build a BIG keyboard, but get ergo support and the pcb gen working for non trivially large builds

cdaringe··on Gleam v1.17.0
Compile to js target and leverage v8 compiler cache? I dunno, just riffing. You’re probably BEAMing vs js runtime-ing for server workloads, but periodically i compile to node and do stuff
cdaringe··on TypeScript Refactoring Interview Questions
Pretty decent question set. Thanks!
cdaringe··on Bun single, statically-linked musl binary
The title is maybe misleading. The linked page is a request for it. The artifact doesn’t actually exist
cdaringe··on Ask HN: We just had an actual UUID v4 collision...
Thats how i noodled thru it internally
cdaringe··on Multi-stroke text effect in CSS
A robust rebuttal. It’s how i prefer all of my images
cdaringe··on Trump spent nearly $2B of taxpayer money to undo wind projects underway
Disappointing. Not surprising.
cdaringe··on GameStop makes $55.5B takeover offer for eBay
I bought some dope weight lifting shoes last week. 46 bucks after shipping, 175 new. I’m pretty stoked on that. I was looking for a 3090 recently too and i did see the 0 rep sellers with buy it nows 10% under market value. That was a little sus. Nonetheless https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/ebay-money-back-guarantee... is a thing?
cdaringe··on What async promised and what it delivered
Surely by section 7 well be talking (or have talked) about effect systems
cdaringe··on Show HN: SkiFlee (an HTML5 game)
I thought the music was perfect fwiw
cdaringe··on Make macOS consistently bad (unironically)
It’s painful for me to watch senior engineers drag windows around and resize, hunt and peck for what they’re looking for. I suppose that’s what an emacs user may think of me when I move code around, but I suppose such things aren’t critical for overall productivity
cdaringe··on Is anybody else bored of talking about AI?
A horse without gear is a wild animal. Slap on a saddle, some reigns, and training and it’s suddenly a transport vehicle.

AI products can and do help make the raw models applicable to targeted domains. Think of them as a black box sure, but that doesn’t mean they dont add value.

cdaringe··on Cook: A simple CLI for orchestrating Claude Code
I wrote https://jsr.io/@cdaringe/ralphmania which has a lot of feature overlap. cook looks more polished.

1. How do you handle worktree merge conflicts and/or integration validation issues? 2. Can i work straight from a list of requirements? I think i saw you support it… 3. I have my variant write a minimal explainer for every satisfied spec, aka receipts. Its pretty great, because i often review the receipts, and if imperfect, mark as NEEDS_REWORK + notes, and it’ll eventually just pick that up on a future iter

Killer latte art
cdaringe··on 0 A.D. Release 28: Boiorix
I played online once with a friend. He immediately rushed to make one soldier and that sole solider obliterated my tiny base immediately.

Lesson learned. Sheep can wait

cdaringe··on NPMX – a fast, modern browser for the NPM registry
it’s modern, i heard
cdaringe··on GitHub Actions is slowly killing engineering teams
Dynamic flow building is something I long wanted, for which we externalized to an external service s.t we could have our dummy CI pull task on many parallel workers after an initial centralized planning step. Each worker does: while (GET /build/123/task) run $task.cmd

Very helpful for a monster repo with giant task graph

cdaringe··on GitHub Actions is slowly killing engineering teams
Yes AND… more. He discusses your (correct) sentiment before and during his bash temptation segment. It’s only one of the gripes, but imho this one’s the 80%/pareto
cdaringe··on Reid Hoffman: Silicon Valley can't be neutral any longer
sources?
cdaringe··on Make.ts
Sure is. I did rad in deno a few years ago. https://cdaringe.github.io/rad/

I may be the author and only user but i still use it frequently and it was worth the effort just for my own projects

cdaringe··on Moderna Won't Run Phase III Vaccine Trials as Skepticism Grows in US
Bummer. mRNA vax is cool tech. I don’t know how much Moderna slowing up on it impacts rest of industry or RoW
cdaringe··on Show HN: Giving Claude Code "hands" to deliver local files (P2P, No Cloud)
APE is referenced a few times. Can you expand on how you leverage it in the underlying transfer tool? Seems all python—i expected some C
