hiccuphippo··on Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?
Does that matter when it can clone it today without the need to train on your specific code?

I wonder if it's injecting both through javascript to minimize breaking people's tests. Trying to reduce dealing with non-ascii characters and svg tags.

You could report it to the domain registrar and the payment gateways.

Maybe we should come up with a new definition for that because bricked definitely means unrecoverable.
hiccuphippo··on English: A vs. An
So is it "a historic" or "an historic"? I've heard Stephen Colbert use "an historic" with a non-silent H.
hiccuphippo··on Comparing reflection capabilities of C++, Zig and C3
If it's for debugging purposes, you can use `{any}` as the format and it will print `.BLUE`

  std.debug.print("{any}\n", .{color});
hiccuphippo··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible

Yes, but also Wordpress still exists and keeps the old ways of doing things.

For the complete opposite I saw this in a comment earlier: https://elijahpotter.dev/hnsansai

Hoarders gonna hoard
hiccuphippo··on A paradigm shift in text selection
One of my favorite features of the Jetbrains IDEs is Ctrl+W for expanding the selection from current variable/token to statement to block.
hiccuphippo··on Did Vibe Coders win? Is this our end?
You can still code, no one takes that away from you. I still keep personal projects I code by hand.

Just because we have photographs doesn't mean artists stopped painting.

hiccuphippo··on Hang on to Your Firefox
They are probably nodding in agreement while management lives in its bubble.

I do not hate Firefox but I hate it when Mozilla uses my donation money in not Firefox.

hiccuphippo··on Tell HN: Google Cloud Outage
Is this why the HN search doesn't work? hn.algolia.com returns a 500.
hiccuphippo··on Zig: Pointer Stability for ArrayLists
The documentation is the most 0.x piece of Zig. It will come but it will take time.
hiccuphippo··on Google Has Removed MV2 Extensions from the Chrome Web Store, Including UBO
Google has been boiling the frog for a long time with this one. I for one will keep using Firefox.
hiccuphippo··on “I just chose words carefully”
An AST-based code editor. That would be neat.
hiccuphippo··on “I just chose words carefully”
Code editors should do this visually without adding actual space characters to the file.
hiccuphippo··on We found a division by zero bug in FFmpeg with a vibecoded fuzzer
Took less than a minute in my 5 year old xiaomi phone. It did take way longer than other Anubis sites I've seen.
hiccuphippo··on MS Paint and Photos inivisibly watermark even locally generated output with GUID
Can this also be weaponized? Get an innocuous image from someone you don't like, grab their GUID, add it to another image, sent it to the thin skinned politician in power.
hiccuphippo··on IPFS Maintainers Winding Down
I always thought it could be the evolution of Bittorrent: updatable torrents (with IPNS), peers sharing files from different "bundles" as long as the bits match.

The problem was that there was no good client for it that was better than current torrent clients. When I tested it you had to keep a duplicate of the files in the ipfs cache directory and the client was CLI based which would alienate most users. There's probably no way to have private trackers or to track seed/leech ratios for communities too.

hiccuphippo··on Small, native web tricks worth remembering
Maybe vanilla.
hiccuphippo··on Zig’s Io.Threaded is neat
How about the overall time LLM+compilation? What does it matter the compile takes 15 minutes if the LLM writes the code faster?

Do we even care about compilation time if we set it to work on a task and return some time later to see the result?

hiccuphippo··on Zig’s Io.Threaded is neat
Zig lets you be very explicit about what you want. Zig's hello world takes 3 or 4 lines where other languages take 1. That is how much other languages make decisions for you. Some people care to make those decisions themselves.
hiccuphippo··on Omacom Foundation launches with $8M
> default agents automatically file bug reports on crashes

Is this only sending bug reports to Omarchy or to the upstream developers? I'm not sure many of them would be fond of AI slop bug reports en masse.

You young people have it good. When I was 18 I started with Slackware.

hiccuphippo··on Sokoban via Grok App Builder
Technically it works but the level design is bad compared to actual Sokoban. It doesn't gave enough constraints.
