kerv··on Canada fast-tracks Pacific oil pipeline to reduce US dependence
Sure - some of what you have said has merit, however Trump has also initiated trade wars with pretty much every other country at the same time. He took advantage of the allowance to renegotiate and then instead of just keeping it within NAFTA, has expanded to a global scale.

kerv··on Launch HN: Screenpipe (YC S26) – Record how you work and turn that into agents
I tried this a couple months back. While I found it useful, I also found on my MacBook M1, the fact it was recording all the time, made my CPU melt at high temps all the time. I eventually had to shut it off and stop using because of that.

Curious how it runs on more modern hardware? Is it pretty lightweight these days?

kerv··on I asked a LLM to create a language and then make a NES emulator
This was just an experiment in which I asked Claude Opus 4.7 to create a programming language in the most efficient way it could. It isn't meant to be a serious thing — just a fun weekend project exploring what happens when you let an LLM design its own language.

It appears like it is a combination of python structure and C-like semantics. There is even a bit of Go-like declaration, but yeah, hard to say whether or not it is actually more efficient... a LLM is trained on text, so that is what it is going to create.Also, pretty funny that it is a single 2000+ line code file...

kerv··on Microsoft hasn't had a coherent GUI strategy since Petzold
Petzold literally had the Windows logo tattooed on his arm. He was a true believer.

kerv··on Show HN: Nxtscape – an open-source agentic browser
This is cool thanks for sharing

What is the tech around the thing that segments out DOM elements automatically and shows the visual representation. I think something like this would be great for automated UI testing agents?

kerv··on 101 BASIC Computer Games
Thanks for sharing! This brings back so many memories. When I was 8 years old, my mother enrolled me in a programming summer camp at our local university. This was my first exposure to BASIC and that is what got me hooked. After that, writing BASIC programs on APPLE 2/2E throughout junior high and highschool was the thing to do. Switched to Visual Basic shortly after that... It started it all for me!

kerv··on A free shipping mystery
I once bought a iPhone charge cable from ebay, free shipping from china for $0.01. I won the auction a couple hours later. 6 weeks later it arrived!

No idea how it is possible. The bubble wrapping protecting it from shipping is worth more than what I paid.

kerv··on WTFM - Write The Freaking Manual
I'm pretty sure that if there was a manual for the software or application you are using, you wouldn't read it anyways. The software should be intuitive in the first place.
