compootr··on Most of the US economy is in a recession
gdp isn't and will never be a measure for social wellbeing. it's just economic output :)
compootr··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
I bought an IONIQ 6 with Hyundai Driver assist II, and it's not what the reviews cut it out to be.

On stretches of pretty straight highway and in traffic, it fares very well, only requiring minor interaction, but on larger curves, it completely disengages with no tone or warning, just a light on the dashboard that turns off.

I'm fully aware you're supposed to drive a car by paying attention to the road, but if the whole point of this feature is to make driving more chill, randomly disengaging makes me distrustful of it

compootr··on You can just port things to Cloudflare Workers
I don't agree! It's easiest to printf() things since you don't have to have tooling to debug every language you want to work with!

while you should know this for anything you're proficient in, I usually reach for printf since it's usually quicker than messing with a debugger :)

compootr··on Comma openpilot – Open source driver-assistance
I noticed this issue and someone else mentioned it to them too. I think it's cheeky because it's been like that for a while

compootr··on Reverse engineering a $1B Legal AI tool exposed 100k+ confidential files
@grok all software engineers do is mindlessly turn specifications into code in one shot, right?!?
compootr··on The EU made Apple adopt new Wi-Fi standards, and now Android can support AirDrop
Even though overly broad regulation is a risk, I don't believe little/no regulation is an option either. I don't think the US's consumer protection mechanisms work, and I'm happy to accept the downsides of the EU's systems that come with the upsides of regulation.
compootr··on We reduced a container image from 800GB to 2GB
this reads like it was written by a clanker
compootr··on Docker Systems Status: Full Service Disruption
I still think this is an acceptable footgun (?) to have. The expressiveness of downloading an image tag with a domain included outweighs potential miscommunication issues.

For example, if you're on a team and you have documentation containing commands, but your docker config is outdated, you can accidentally pull from docker's global public registry.

A welcome change IMO would be removing global registries entirely, since it just makes it easier to tell where your image is coming from (but I severely doubt docker would ever consider this since it makes it fractionally easier to use their services)

compootr··on Show HN: DriftDB – An experimental append-only database with time-travel queries
> LLM-written book about Lisp.

I don't really care if you're an astronaut, time traveler, or a 15 year old. AI slop prompted by anyone is slop, and I'm a human with limited time which I'd rather not waste on slop

compootr··on Comet AI browser can get prompt injected from any site, drain your bank account
at least this is opt-in (you must download the browser)

Microsoft's idea was to create the perfect database of screenshots for stealer log software to grab on every windows machine (opt-out originally afaik)

I guess you need an active developer license to write blog posts
compootr··on Vanishing from Hyundai’s data network
fascinating idea, but no mention of android. Would one (like me!) simply be unable to use this car to its full extent?

manufacturers aside, grapheneos and lineage work well because of Google's work on their phones
compootr··on [dead]
I agree that weebly is slowly burning, but it doesn't feel like the right choice to move from one closed vendor who's on maintenance mode to another that's new and might fail.
compootr··on U.S. sanctions cloud provider 'Funnull' as top source of 'pig butchering' scams
Just this week, I received a bug bounty from a company in bitcoin. No BS with banks or anything!*

individualism; I think people in our crazy state of states tend to be only interested in what they want, and no other interests

compootr··on How to lock down your phone if you're traveling to the U.S.
