h1fra··on What is going on with ceiling fans
I bought a ceiling fan last year for my bedroom (the best investment in Europe; do it while you can). It was surprising hard to find a good normal one.

You will actually need to dig deep and order from some shady websites to get one in regular wood with a regular shape.

h1fra··on Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when telemetry is on [fixed]

h1fra··on MCP was always a bad idea?
MCP is now only good at getting credentials from any source. If SaaS cared about their API the same way we would have OAuth for all APIs, MCP would just die
h1fra··on ZuckOff Is a Free App That Sees Meta Glasses Before They See You
I was going to say: can't wait for EU to regulate this, but they already did!
h1fra··on Scriptc by Vercel: TypeScript-to-Native compiler, no JavaScript engine in binary
Vercel doing Vercel: 5 days old, entirely vibecoded, already 1.5k stars for no reason, solves no one's issue and will stop being maintained in a few months (if more than this week).
h1fra··on Future euro banknote design proposals

h1fra··on Do you need separate systems when you already have Postgres?
I have yet to have used UNLOGGED table in production, but I really want to try at some point. Anybody actually replaced a large Redis instance with this?
h1fra··on Why eval startups fail (2025)
evals are glorified integration tests, would you invest in an integration test startup? absolutely not. I don't get why we are making all of this fuzz around evals
h1fra··on German ruling declares Google liable for false answers in AI Overviews
People will complain, but eventually Europe will still be in advance regarding this kind of law. It's annoying and sometimes slows down innovation but US companies are just doing whatever makes money without restrictions...

slowly implementing all the things they said we didn't need
h1fra··on Flipper One – we need your help
I have read the whole thing, and I'm not sure what you would build with it. Can anyone give me some examples? I'm genuinely curious.

How much longer can the internet survive if we just stop sending traffic to websites?
h1fra··on Why is Google Maps back to showing old satellite images of Altadena?
Not entirely related, but Google Maps is still showing satellite images from 5 years ago in Paris, one of the most visited cities in the world, and it's not even updated once a year. I don't get it.

h1fra··on Mythos Finds a Curl Vulnerability
They might be biased by the fact that curl is significantly more secure than the average software
h1fra··on I returned to AWS and was reminded why I left
To this day I still don't understand why people love AWS. It's overly complex, full of dark patterns, and not even that good compared to alternatives.

It's only illegal when you are not a politician apparently

h1fra··on Microsoft's "Fix" for Windows 11: Flowers After the Beating
That's how the world works for everything: software, politics, social stuff (good or bad), war, etc. People are bad at judging gradual/slow changes but when you push a bit too far, you have already gained so much that you can usually just say sorry and move on
h1fra··on Trivy under attack again: Widespread GitHub Actions tag compromise secrets
/s But I thought npm was the issue, and all of this couldn't happen anywhere else?!
h1fra··on Astral to Join OpenAI
what happen when openai goes brankrupt?
h1fra··on Optimizing Top K in Postgres
Postgres is really good at a lot of things, but it's very unfortunate that it's really bad at simple analytics. I wish there was a plugin instead of having to have N databases
h1fra··on OpenClaw surpasses React to become the most-starred software project on GitHub
This is going to be the most starred and unused repo very quickly. The hype is already fading, as expected
