hahn-kev··on What if I don't want videos of my hobby time available to the world?
So if you have a quiet and private ceremony is it ok to ask people who come to that not to take pictures?
hahn-kev··on Improved Gemini 2.5 Flash and Flash-Lite
Most of their products are server based so there's no version really. Also they kill stuff off before it would ever be v2 anyway. Also also, they're still better than Microsoft, see Xbox and Windows.

Is a 2024 Mac boo pro better than a 2025 Mac book?
hahn-kev··on Just let me select text
I use it for translation all the time on my Pixel 7a with Gemini
hahn-kev··on Just let me select text
I'll do it on my phone, but it's usually just over the area I was reading when I decided to look away, so it's not while I'm reading, only if I'm going to go somewhere else first.
hahn-kev··on Less is safer: Reducing the risk of supply chain attacks
Running vite inside a docker container would probably get you what you want
hahn-kev··on Less is safer: Reducing the risk of supply chain attacks
It's no worse than vscode. Sure there's permissions, but it's super common for an extension to start a process and that process can do anything it wants.
hahn-kev··on A new experimental Google app for Windows
Totally agree it's awesome! It's a great example of performance as a feature.
hahn-kev··on What's New in C# 14: Null-Conditional Assignments
Without it there's some silly inconsistency. For example I could call `person?.SetName(name)`, but if you wanted to refactor that into `person?.Name = name` you can't.
hahn-kev··on "Your" vs. "My" in user interfaces
If that's the case then there should be another folder to put pictures that aren't mine.
hahn-kev··on Stop writing CLI validation. Parse it right the first time
It's almost like you want compile time type safety
hahn-kev··on Stripe Launches L1 Blockchain: Tempo
My understanding is that Wise isn't a true international transfer. Wise has money already in a Brazilian account, and when they receive money in their European account then they send you money from their Brazilian account. If they don't have enough money in that Brazilian account then it can't be instant like it is today.
hahn-kev··on What If OpenDocument Used SQLite?
CRDTs are the way to go if you need something very robust for lots of offline work.
hahn-kev··on Atlassian is acquiring The Browser Company
How's that different from Electron?
hahn-kev··on Atlassian is acquiring The Browser Company
I think that we should be fine with growth flattening out.
hahn-kev··on ReMarkable Paper Pro Move
Very frustrating because it hides syncing your data into 3rd party clouds, not just their priority one. So I can't sync with Google Drive without paying them, which is very weird.
hahn-kev··on That boolean should probably be something else
See always having a synthetic primary key
hahn-kev··on The Therac-25 Incident (2021)
From what I've read about that incident I don't know what the devs could have done. The company sure was a problem but also the laws basically saying a computer can't be wrong. No dev can solve that problem.
hahn-kev··on Do I not like Ruby anymore? (2024)
Totally agree. I've found that people who don't understand the value of types are usually solo devs
hahn-kev··on Is 4chan the perfect Pirate Bay poster child to justify wider UK site-blocking?
Wow
hahn-kev··on Open Source Maintenance Fee
Right but in supply chain terms I'm way less likely to trust the build from some random person. So if your company cares about it's supply chain it's easy to justify the expense.
hahn-kev··on AGI is an engineering problem, not a model training problem
I wonder if the people saying that would agree that they've been improving.
hahn-kev··on Fmllm: 4mb training data, 100mb model, Fibonacci embeddings, near-coherent. WTF?
What did you see? Chat GPT produced a bunch of words which were each a combination of the first 2. Gemini and Claude gave words which felt related in some vague way
hahn-kev··on What about using rel="share-url" to expose sharing intents?
Yeah I don't know if I've ever used them. Maybe once or twice ever. For me the main problem is UX. Sharing from my platform (copy url on computer, share button on android) is always in the same place. But the share button built in is never in the same place across different websites, how could it be?
hahn-kev··on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?
Bot blocking through obscurity
hahn-kev··on Notion releases offline mode
The best way to do it is right from the start. It's hard enough as is but adding it on after the fact is even harder.
hahn-kev··on How we exploited CodeRabbit: From simple PR to RCE and write access on 1M repos
Why does CodeRabbit need write access to the git repo? Why doesn't Github let me limit it's access?
hahn-kev··on Sunny days are warm: why LinkedIn rewards mediocrity
If it works you'll have a bunch of people faking it for each other, and if it doesn't then it's no different than anything else.
hahn-kev··on Why LLMs can't really build software
I do wonder how something like v0 would handle that request though.
hahn-kev··on Why LLMs can't really build software
I find it impressive that LLMs can so closely mimic the behaviour of a junior dev. Even if that's not a desirable outcome it's still impressive and interesting.
