chalmovsky··on Agents on Rails: Best model solves 35% of feature benchmark runs
this seems really low?
chalmovsky··on Omarchy development practices lead to predictable security issues
one cherry on top is that all the agent harnesses installed with omarchy have the “yolo” mode on by default
chalmovsky··on Linus Torvalds on LLM usage in kernel development
As per usual, a very good and sane take indeed.
chalmovsky··on How to read more books
> I have become good at walking my dog while reading — I even got complimented for that by a stranger — and I make sure I never go to the bathroom without a book.

Come on now, what is this Monty Python?

chalmovsky··on Apple's weird anti-nausea dots cured my car sickness
yeah this feature works for me and its amazing! BUT one interesting caveat - it doesnt work when im in an electric car
chalmovsky··on I stopped tracking my time. Now I can't focus
While I agree with this (and what a refreshing thing to say indeed!), I would like to offer this as well:

If you can’t focus on some task - you can also treat it as a signal that maybe the task is not worth focusing on in the first place…

chalmovsky··on Sweet Jeebus, macOS 27 Golden Gate Removes the Dumb Icons from Menu Items
Nope, your snippet proves nothing. The only font rule in it is `font-size: inherit`, which means "don't change the size." So your proof that HN resizes text is a line that resizes nothing. Since your snippet was so useless I had to go read the actual news.css to find out what rules are actually there. The result: body text goes from 12px to 13.3px.

It's still small. The widely considered standard size of body copy is 16px or 1rem.

But the thing is, which was my point all along, it doesn't fucking matter.

I dont think you are really bothered by it either given you are discussing this on a website which has exactly the same behavior :)
chalmovsky··on YouTube to automatically label AI-generated videos
Oh, please. Can we stop with the pseudo-profound psychologizing? PS: I am aware I am shouting into the void.
chalmovsky··on Ferrari Luce
I strongly smell sour grapes bias in this comment section.
chalmovsky··on Optimizing Ruby Path Methods
This might shock you but vast majority of bugs are logical.
chalmovsky··on Migrating from DigitalOcean to Hetzner
What are you running on it is the only question which matters, obviously you dont want air traffic control to go down but some app… So what if it goes down? Backup is somewhere else if you even need it anyway. Github has uptime less than 90% according to this: https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ . And the world keeps turning. Obviously we should strive for better, but also lets please not continue making this uptime fetish out of it, for vast majority of the apps it absolutely doesnt fucking matter.
chalmovsky··on The Age of Snarky UI
Hello! I really, really liked your article a lot and I'm happy I get to tell it to you! The drawings are just cherry on top.

I absolutely hate these types of UIs. I can't stress enough how much revulsion I feel towards this kind of bullshit.

And we are not even talking yet about the "screen vs buttons in a car" problem.

chalmovsky··on What if the browser built the UI for you?
So for the sake of argument let’s establish this: a vibe coded browser presents a vibe coded UI based upon vibe coded backend. Surely this will work great!
chalmovsky··on Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry
It was not cause by this. https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/28001#issuecomment-416...
