focom··on Show HN: Plain – The full-stack Python framework designed for humans and agents
I agree its very good job he is doing
focom··on FracturedJson
Great stuff
focom··on Ghostty is now non-profit
One personal gripe: Compared to the default terminal, ghostty, close the terminal on ctrl+d.
focom··on Building a WebRTC benchmark for voice AI agents (Pipecat vs. LiveKit)
Cool stuff. I prefered the experience with lk but i always wonder whats the performance like with pipecat
focom··on I hate screenshots of text
Teams has really poor code block compared to slack or any other tool. You can feel the arrogance of the Microsoft PM each time you paste code or paste text that randomly render as html. Somehow, slack still has a better text input compared to teams.
focom··on Git CLI tool for intelligently creating branch names
> If you keep your PRs small

Its not a if. it's necessary for the sake of people reviewing your code. Unless you work alone on your pet project and always push to master you never work alone.

focom··on Git CLI tool for intelligently creating branch names
Commit message should be ephemeral too. Squashing after a PR should be the default. Only at that moment does the PR/Commit message matter.
focom··on AirTips – Alternative to Bento.me/Linktree
Cool stuff, I signed up!
focom··on From VS Code to Helix
I agree with all you said. Its an improvment over nvim situation. I still think for common languages like python and markdown lsp should be setup by default. I am not sure if i am willing to forget all the muscle memory I have just yet. Also I miss being able to ZZ to exit my file
focom··on From VS Code to Helix
Helix boast itself as a no config tool, but you have to find a lsp, installl it, edit a toml to activate it. I dont think we can call that "config less". Success would be something like LazyVim but without the nagging of updates each time you open it.
focom··on Hyperflask – Full stack Flask and Htmx framework
in the same vein i prefer https://plainframework.com/

plain keep the admin dashboard and is very agent friendly

focom··on Asymmetric JWTs with Supabase Auth
You will save network latency every time, so probably 100-200ms for every call
focom··on Updates to H-1B
Have you heard of Brampton?
focom··on Python Practical Package Packing 2024
tl;dr use poetry and write decent code
focom··on Hotwire: HTML Over The Wire
You should look at django-unicorn for the python equivalent
focom··on Ask HN: Devs/data scis who pivoted to a new career in 30s/40s, what do you do?
Awesome man! I am curious to know more about it though. I am thinking to take back my grand parent hotel but i am worried about the small town life
focom··on Show HN: WebApp to filter WhoIsHiring by tags and live text search
Congrats on shipping. But watch out, the dark theme is not readable on my macbook.
focom··on Show HN: Flox 1.0 – Open-source dev env as code with Nix
Sorry to be this guy, but why is Nix better than a docker dev container?
focom··on So you want to abolish time zones (2015)
Reading this you really have to be a bitter swe to suggest such a thing. Now with llm its so easy to get an agent to deal with all those issues.
focom··on Browsh: The modern text-based web browser
sr.ht is such a pain to browse, why would someone pick this over GitHub.
focom··on Commission opens formal proceedings against X under the Digital Services Act
"Europe 2.0" aka "the usa" has a better free speech implementation than "Europe 1.0". So yes different as in bad.
focom··on Bluesky migrates to single-tenant SQLite
I am curious, does the HN folks know if bluesky is more active than nostr or the mastodon network?
focom··on How to Not Get Screwed over as a Software Engineer [video]
interesting
focom··on Jesus nut
haha good catch
focom··on Jesus nut
What would be the equivalent in software engineering? Loosing your domain name?
focom··on Java 21: First Release Candidate
Beside legacy code, in what context would you start a new project un java?

I will soon have my Canadian passport. Is the TN visa really easy to get at the border?
focom··on GitHub staff are required to use Teams by Sep 1, 2023
The main annoying thing is Teams has no markdown support. What they call markdown support is still a broken "wysiwyg"
focom··on GitHub to lay off 10% and close all offices
The worst about teams is that they still haven't implemented a corrected markdown editor. Its a pain to copy code into it
