joeyhage··on Sonnet 5.5
Claude, is that you?
joeyhage··on Incident with Github.com [resolved]
My understanding is the us.githubstatus.com is only if you are using GitHub enterprise with a custom subdomain and data residency in the US because then *some* of the infrastructure is separate from GitHub.com.
joeyhage··on You're Not a Better Engineer Because You Type Git Commands by Hand
> In 2026, if you are not delegating this kind of engineering overhead to AI, you are burning money. And, more importantly, you are burning your life.

AI use can be a divisive topic among developers but I generally believe it is a useful tool. That said, please don’t broadly advise people on what’s best for their life. It will only make people push away from AI more.

joeyhage··on The deadly rise of giant trucks and SUVs
> “While vehicle safety is critical, blaming larger vehicles for pedestrian deaths overlooks systemic issues” including the design of roads, said Mike Levine, a spokesman for Ford.

This is from the NYT article

joeyhage··on Apple is about to make Hide My Email useless
addy.io and proton pass are both great, affordable options. (Proton pass has a built in hide-my-email feature that supports custom domains)
joeyhage··on Apple is about to make Hide My Email useless
Completely agree - have you encountered this before? The Gmail plus sign alias trick has been widely known for a long time and, to my knowledge, still works well today. It would be easy enough for websites to either block + in gmail addresses or instead grab the true email.
joeyhage··on Upcoming breaking changes for npm v12
Most people know this but the _real_ reason it explains things is that GitHub is owned by Microsoft. Oh, and Microsoft moved GitHub to Azure
joeyhage··on VoidZero Is Joining Cloudflare
What I meant was the project would stay FOSS forever, so that would mean all future updates including features, bug fixes, and patches. My understanding is the license can be changed at any time so then you would only have FOSS access for the code up until the point in time the license changed.

That said, I completely agree that there’s a better solution.

joeyhage··on VoidZero Is Joining Cloudflare
Everything Cloudflare is announcing could have been done without acquiring VoidZero. The part they aren’t saying is the greater influence they will have on the roadmap and protecting themselves from someone else acquiring vite and making it closed source and/or monetizing it. We’ve seen it so many times - a project promises to stay free and open source, but things change. Are there any licenses or contracts that a project could use and would hold up in court that they need to stay FOSS forever?
joeyhage··on "What a joke": GitHub Copilot's token-based billing spurs backlash among devs
Is this going to be the final straw for some organizations to leave GitHub? Genuinely curious what folks think since recent GitHub outage posts on HN have been filled with frustration, but previously GitHub Copilot was a steal.
joeyhage··on New token system and scaling is 10x trash
Is this going to be the final straw to cause a larger exodus from GitHub? Genuinely curious what folks think since recent GitHub outage posts on HN have been filled with frustration, but at the time GitHub Copilot was still a steal.
joeyhage··on False Positive OSV Advisories Reported by Amazon Inspector
Currently 46 advisories are being withdrawn. Impacted both pypi and npm dependencies. JFrog Security reported [1] that this caused many bricked deployments.

joeyhage··on I’ve joined Anthropic
There’s a lot of nuance to this. Regarding the former, what if someone used unethical or illegal means to produce the work? And regarding the latter, we can choose to provide constructive criticism out of kindness. Apathy or silence is a disservice to others in some cases.
joeyhage··on I added a Bluesky comment section to my blog
Hey, Micah! So cool seeing you on here. I met you when you interned at Principal several years ago. Hope you are well!
joeyhage··on Summary of the Amazon DynamoDB Service Disruption in US-East-1 Region
> as is the case with the recently launched IPv6 endpoint and the public regional endpoint

It isn't explicitly stated in the RCA but it is likely these new endpoints were the straw that broke the camel's back for the DynamoDB load balancer DNS automation

joeyhage··on Our efforts, in part, define us
As others have mentioned, LLMs require a lot of effort to get it right. Personally, I still prefer writing code over writing LLM prompts but I’m trying to find the right balance. I will always enjoy refactoring so I tend to have the LLM get me most of the way there and leave the polishing for myself.
joeyhage··on Which NPM package has the largest version number?
> 46. aws-sdk -> 1692 (2.1692.0)

AWS still made the top 50

joeyhage··on Palo Alto Networks Nears over $20B Deal for Cybersecurity Firm CyberArk
Neither Palo Alto nor CyberArk is a startup, which company are you referring to?
joeyhage··on Ask HN: How do you keep track of “Log in with” accounts
I think this works in practice but I still prefer to have an anonymous/hidden/random email for each service. If one of your Gmail alias emails is sold, isn’t it trivial to write a script and figure out the real Gmail addresses?
joeyhage··on Show HN: The First Non-Smart AI Pendant (NotFriend)
Glad it wasn’t just me!
joeyhage··on Microsoft update causes chaos with transport, banks and businesses
The title is misleading, it was a Crowdstrike update affecting Windows devices
joeyhage··on HTML Tags Memory Test
TIL I cheat at my job every day when I use Google or AI code assistants
joeyhage··on How to use the Bitwarden forwarded email alias generator
It’s possible to initiate from Addy as well. For example, if your Addy alias is example@mailer.me and you wish to email hn@gmail.com then you would send an email to example+hn=gmail.com@mailer.me from the email address registered to the Addy account.

The Addy app has a utility to generate this, too.

joeyhage··on How to use the Bitwarden forwarded email alias generator
You can create on-demand Hide My Email aliases[1] that deliver to your Apple account email address without using your AppleID to login.

joeyhage··on Ask HN: Is Hacker News under attack from spam bots?
I’m also surprised that slurs/slang/foul language in usernames is allowed unless the server is overwhelmed and things are slipping past the validation.
joeyhage··on Ask HN: Is Hacker News under attack from spam bots?
Poor attempt at trying to make the URL unique possibly and prevent it from being blocked. Someone could easily block the domain or use regex to block comments with that domain.
joeyhage··on Ask HN: Is Hacker News under attack from spam bots?
It seems to be going in waves, and it also appears they are getting removed in batches.
joeyhage··on Globotipo: Making a typeface that is seen by 100M people daily
Ironically, the font usage on that website is difficult to read, at least on a mobile device.
joeyhage··on Monolith – CLI tool for saving complete web pages as a single HTML file
It would be awesome to see support for following links to a specified depth, similar to [Httrack](https://www.httrack.com/)
