codingjoe··on Why is Google still serving dodgy ads?
Same with Meta. The latter knowingly makes a substantial revenue from those ads. Unless a government steps it to make advertising platforms liable, there will be zero incentive for change
codingjoe··on GNU Radio in the browser
They put radio on the Internet... ¡Tres Comas!
codingjoe··on Why does Opus 5 feel worse to work with?
Maybe we need more benchmarks that involve human collaboration instead of solo task solving.

Since they have become so capable the new bottleneck is what they can't know. The stuff that's inside people's brains who work in real companies with products and processes absent from any training set.

codingjoe··on Show HN: Mcptoon – Token-efficient MCP CLI client
Q: aren't models trained to message templates using JSON for tool calls. Would a model inherently struggle with a different format?

Q: is there a measurable difference compared to harnesses with tool search?

codingjoe··on Agent Skill to Force Docs in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English
What a wonderful skill. I hate the long and verbose do strings or docs LLMs spit out. This will make a great addition to my docu agent.

And I agree, maybe I should use this for my emails too

codingjoe··on Google will expand age checks on Android worldwide till the end of the year
100%, it's not like adults are immune to misinformation, social media addiction or scams. Those platforms should be safe for all people regardless of their age, nationality, sexual orientation, gender or religion.
codingjoe··on What if we made advertising illegal?
That's a valid point. Maybe better to have no ads at all.

codingjoe··on What if we made advertising illegal?
Oh it's just saving me money during checkout
codingjoe··on What if we made advertising illegal?
We could just start making it illegal to advertise to children. Without age verification, it's just a burden of proof with the advertiser that their ad isn't targeting children and a ban on age specific target groups for ad platforms.
codingjoe··on Amber the programming language compiled to Bash/Ksh/Zsh
Hm... But why not use Python
codingjoe··on Postgres rewritten in Rust, now passing 100% of the Postgres regression tests
Given that you reuse Postgres' tests and LLM have been clearly trained on Postgres' three decades of contributions, this may constitute a license violation. Unless you include the original license of course. From a human level I also understand how you ended up with a less permissive license.
codingjoe··on Organic Maps
Yes, you can toggle a setting to use the network colors. I use it mostly for hiking. The UI is a learning curve, 100%, I am curious to check another tool
codingjoe··on Organic Maps
How is it different from OSMAnd?
codingjoe··on Physical disc production ending in Jan 2028 for new games on PlayStation
Is that going into effect globally? It's hard to believe this will sit well with Japanese customers where second hand gaming markets are, dare I say it, culturally relevant.
codingjoe··on Captcha proves you're human. HATCHA proves you're not
GOTCHA would have been a funny name too ;)
codingjoe··on Djevops: Self-Host Django Easily
Did something similar a while back hosting all my pet projects on a PS5: https://the-box.sh (signature edition)
codingjoe··on Lobsters Bug Allows Unauthorized Email Access
It's so out there, I can't tell if its the greatest or worst humor ever.
codingjoe··on Hyundai buys Boston Dynamics
All I really want to know is if we're getting Mecha suites now to fight Godzilla ;)
codingjoe··on The Australian Government to Require SMS/MMS Sender ID Registraion
Sadly this isn't limited to Australia. RCS the SMS successor does not consider free peering. I believe security is used as an excuse to create a closed ecosystem that surfaces new businesses and therefore innovation.

For a community of builders, like this, any barrier to entry will be problem, however we'll intend.

codingjoe··on [dead]
Today, few realize that Instagram was originally a Django app. But is Django still relevant today? For the task, is it still the best framework?
codingjoe··on Caddy compatibility for zeroserve: 3x throughput and 70% lower latency
"Caddy compatible" minus everything that matters, like ACME and plugins. And NGINX still steals the show. Not everything needs to be rewritten.
codingjoe··on Ryanair dark UX patterns summer 2026 refresher
If it sounds illegal, it usually is. Tricking people into buying things usually doesn't hold up in court. However, few cases ever make it there and that's what companies like these successfully gamble on.
codingjoe··on Senior Engineer Interview Proxies
Yes, apparently those are a thing now…
codingjoe··on Web Browsers on Video Game Consoles
Browsers on consoles and resellable game media... Those were the days ...
codingjoe··on Raspberry Pi 5 – 16 GB, $350
In Europe, but I didn't realize the 499 one is also history. Even worse :/
codingjoe··on Raspberry Pi 5 – 16GB RAM
I hate this timeline: How is a Pi marginally cheaper than a Mac Mini?
codingjoe··on Honor your GitHub Sponsors
Beautiful README badges to honor your GitHub sponsors.

I created this to show some respect and figured others might like it too :)

It's runny on a Raspberry Pi 5, so no expensive Vercel invoice, no worries. :P

codingjoe··on The EU Open Source Strategy
... and I'd still be very happy for them. Some money, is better than none.

Besides, supply chain payments are already a thing and help maintainers like myself already while providing security benefits for corporations.

codingjoe··on The EU Open Source Strategy
Empty words. Without changes to anti-circumvention laws, safe harbor commitments for security researchers and serious funding for foss projects nothing is going to change.
