dnnddidiej··on Why TUIs are back
How come?
dnnddidiej··on Why TUIs are back
I associate CLI prompt and typing 100wpm and lots of scrolling logs with l33t, but claude code is more 1992 DOS program vibes.
dnnddidiej··on San Francisco streets with confusingly similar names
North pole to south pole. Pole is a big place!

This is normal for anywhere.
dnnddidiej··on A Couple Million Lines of Haskell: Production Engineering at Mercury
Interesting, I guess it then depends on the company (or recruiter) then.

I think you have to get a Haskell job early in career and stick to Haskell jobs. Breaking in is really hard as you come without experience there will be plenty of others with Haskell experience to compete. And because the jobs are rare if it doesnt work out (company becomes bad to work for or layoff) you can be unstuck (or I guess you would switch to Rust, Scala or F#)
dnnddidiej··on Do_not_track
Love the idea but is an env var enough. Are there some sessions (docker?) that may not get it.

I'd prefer TRACK_ME as an opt in.

dnnddidiej··on DeepSeek V4 – almost on the frontier
I usually like the answers generated by those flows.
dnnddidiej··on Becoming a father shrinks your cerebrum (2022)
Indeed I dont daydream anymore.

Wonder if these changes are more like jettisoning luxuries rather than getting dumber.

dnnddidiej··on Good developers learn to program. Most courses teach a language
Yes but not everyone learns like that. Some people need to feel something before learning the theory. It makes the theory easier to digest.

dnnddidiej··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2026)
Given the last couple of years accidents, I hope you can improve safety here!

Looks amazing. Very meaningful work.
dnnddidiej··on Your Website Is Not for You
Sounds like the founder as well as the customers are who the designer should be gathering data points from.

I think anything where a surprise is presented (in design or otherwise) means some missed communication.

dnnddidiej··on Maladaptive Frugality
Thats more of a forecasting thing than frugality.
dnnddidiej··on Show HN: An attempt to grow a mind – building software with an inner life
Dont know. For a game that you don't want to be addictive, I think it is a good idea.
dnnddidiej··on You can beat the binary search
For humans binary searching a dict is slower because it requires a different physical action vs. scanning and we have advanced OCR and flipping through capabilites. Especially recognizing when something hasnt changed e.g. still on Es keep flipping is maybe 10ms.
dnnddidiej··on LinkedIn scans for 6,278 extensions and encrypts the results into every request
> LinkedIn shouldn't be scanning your browser extensions.

Correct

Yes there are other problems in the world and we can JAQ the messanger too.

Years of Experience. I'd put TC instead though.

Jason is quiet for now, reflecting on your words.

Should be ready to talk in 23h 58m

Cute 429!

dnnddidiej··on Claude.ai down again?
Ask sama
dnnddidiej··on How ChatGPT serves ads
The lights being billions in hardware and plant investment, possibly power generation and operations and maintenance, attracting and retaining top 0.01% of engineers.

In addition if you don't keep up with SOTA +/- 10% you instantly lose all customers. There is zero stickiness.

dnnddidiej··on Copy Fail
Opus 4.7 it if you can't wait
dnnddidiej··on Copy Fail
with curl | sh you could use a checksum you download with curl!
dnnddidiej··on Copy Fail
Yeah it has all the government logins and full gmail access. It will be too busy to bother rooting the local machine!
dnnddidiej··on Copy Fail
I wonder can the kernel just remove it and distros put on a compatiability layer.
dnnddidiej··on How ChatGPT serves ads
Even as a not for profit they would need cashflow.
dnnddidiej··on GitHub Alternatives?
I only just agree but a close call. I agree because of the smogasbord (SIC?) of open weights.
