knlam··on Japan moves to tighten rules for foreigners
I doubt that. The population is aging, and there are serious shortage of blue collar workers

Japan is facing a significant shortage of long-term care workers. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare estimates that the country will need approximately 2.4 million care workers by FY2026 and 2.72 million by FY2040 (about 250,000 and 570,000 more, respectively, than the 2.15 million employed in FY2022)[1]

This comment make no sense. You know a large portion of aged Japanese have to worked because there are shortage of blue collar workers right?
knlam··on Fable 5 – Median thinking declined in August
Not true. I can read what Fable output with ease but when it sprout Claudish like Opus 5, I know they are doing something to the model. Yes, you can immediate know the claudish language if you work with opus long enough
knlam··on Pnpm 12.0
just why pnpm? you are stable, you are loved by the community. Now you feel the need to throw it away to rewrite for what? Can anybody give me a good explaination
knlam··on App Store Rejection of the Week: Dark Hours
You are dealing with unreasonable party here. Like the game theory, you have to think what is the next best move. I bet you have not deal with appstore review before, I remember last time even mention google or android in privacy policy will get your app rejected
knlam··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (July 2026)
I created a setapp alternative at https://getapps.cafe. 40 local-first apps and counting and yes I use claude code to help building all these apps (and I do read the code). It is so much easier now to start and create small, self contained apps and I do the future is local/privacy by default apps
knlam··on Native all the way, until you need text
Thanks for this post. This will be my bible for the "electron bad" crowd
knlam··on Local AI needs to be the norm
you know what is the hard part about local ai? Supporting it cross platform. The OP get it easy by playing in Apple ecosystem but when you need to support local AI to both iOS/Android the approach is completely different. Even get the users to download the smallest models can be a challenge
knlam··on Adobe modifies hosts file to detect whether Creative Cloud is installed
Yearly reminder that Adobe CC is malware. Open your Activity Monitor on your Mac and see how much craps CC run on your computer
knlam··on Don't Build Multi-Agents
The best one is google ADK, I must say they are quite thoughful of all the use cases
knlam··on Don't Build Multi-Agents
You want to use multiple providers, so if I am not happy with result from gpt, I can switch to perplexity or something else. The power of plug and play is very powerful when you are building agent/subagent systems
knlam··on The current state of LLM-driven development
Opening the essay with ~~Learning how to use LLMs in a coding workflow is trivial.~~ and closing with suggestion ~~ Copilot ~~ for AI agent is the worst take of LLM coding I ever saw
knlam··on How we built Bluey’s world
Thank you, such a good episode. I adore bluey writing
knlam··on The hidden cost of AI coding
Copilot is just plain bad. The result is day and night compare with cursor + gemini 2.5 (of course with good prompting)
knlam··on Everyone knows all the apps on your phone
Actually you can via private API, which Apple app use all the time but forbid other app to use

knlam··on Hezbollah hand-held radios detonate across Lebanon, sources say
In the other thread, HN said Israel can only pull this trick only once and they just did it the second time
knlam··on After 6 years, I'm over GraphQL
Working with GraphQL over 6 years, I have seen (and created) many mistakes mentioned in the article. GraphQL is not great but it has worked well for me, you just need to adapt & change mindset to create better interface for your graphQL endpoint.

For example, having nested queries more than 2 levels is a no go for me (just like having nested inheritance is basically anti pattern)

Focus more on your interface. One way to avoid N+1 and nested query is to required parameter for related fields. For example

```

user(id: $userId) { {

  id

  friends {

    id

    ...

  }
```

to

```

user(id: $userId) {

  id

  friends(id: $userId) {

    id

    ...

  }
```
knlam··on What happened with the Web Monetization API?
I love crypto. I even built an SDK to make crypto payment easy [0] However, KYC is there for a reason. Personally, I don't touch any crypto on/offramp service without proper KYC

knlam··on Expo – Open-source platform for making universal apps for Android, iOS, and web

knlam··on Two weeks of dealing with Google as a developer
And Apple is the same or even worse. Our app is in reviewed for 3 weeks without any contact from apple. Any attempt to contact meet with the standard just wait email. At that point, I don't really know what to do

Considering Apple behavior, I don't know if I should speak out or not, for Apple will ban developer in retaliation
