kylemhon I’m joining OpenAI

The main one is that you can run and/or host it remotely, unlike Claude Desktop. By this I mean, you can run OpenClaw on a service like Tailscale and protect your actual machine from certain security/privacy concerns and - regardless of the choice - you can connect your access to OpenClaw via any chat agent or SSH tunnel, so you can access it from a phone. If Claude Cowork comes to iOS/Android with a tunnel option, they can resolve this difference.

A smaller difference would be that you can use any/all models with OpenClaw.

kylemhon Show HN: Playwright Skill for Claude Code – Less context than playwright-MCP

but how would claude then look at devtools for the playwright window to see console output? i know some frameworks are putting logging into the shell, but in old repos Playwright MCP seems worth the extra context, no?

kylemhon Shadcn: Components that you can copy-paste into your apps

you're not wrong, but in case you need Vue: https://www.shadcn-vue.com/

kylemhon Yarn 4.0

fwiw the change specifically in this release (removing a lot of plugins) will make that adoption path a lot smoother.

Weirdly, going from v1 to v4 is a lot easier now than v1 to v2 or v1 to v3.

That being said... It's too little too late. I use `pnpm` now and maybe I'll use `bun` after total Node compatability.

kylemhon Bun v1.0.0

Discord's accessibility has improved quite a bit. Even a screenreader user in the article's source section agrees:

> What I can tell you is that, to my surprise, Discord’s accessibility has apparently improved in recent years, and more blind people are using it now. One of my blind friends told me that most Discord functionality is very accessible and several blind communities are using it. He also told me about a group of young blind programmers who are using Discord to discuss the development of a new open-source screen reader to replace the current Orca screen reader for GNOME

Discord is honestly a great place for FOSS to house their communications. I find all of the articles claims very haphazard:

> When you choose Discord, you are legitimizing their platform and divesting from FOSS platforms

It is legit? It's free? It has loads of compelling features, is very accessible, and - most importantly... Also, choosing Discord does not take value away from FOSS communication platforms.

> Use IRC

It isn't IRC which is very inaccessible to lots of people new to computers and software in general.

sure, that's why China is banning gov't officials from using their devices...

I do this. It's why I asked

For what it's worth, I sent an email, but haven't heard back. Given the previous error, I'm curious to know if you received it!

kylemhon Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2023)

Can you expand on the required front-end work? It's difficult to cater an email to non-existent requirements! I can just shove my resume into an email, but I don't know if that's what you're looking for.

kylemhon Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2023)

There's a checkbox here to confirm that you have 7 years of experience. I'm at 6.5 years is it really that important?

kylemhon Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2023)

Hey Mike.

I applied on the website, but didn't get the "Thanks for your application" automatic response I usually get from job applications. I then emailed "jobs@tryturnstile.com" to ask if my application went through, but I haven't gotten a reply there either.

I do not want to miss a chance to interview for this opportunity, so please let me know if something is amiss!

kylemhon Precedent – Building Blocks for Next.js

it's not accessible... yet!

fwiw this website is stellar - check out all the other articles if you're a front-end dev!

kylemhon Adobe to acquire Figma for $20B

can antitrust prevent public companies from acquiring private companies?

does that not simply further the point of the post you responded to?

kylemhon Bun: Fast JavaScript runtime, transpiler, and NPM client written in Zig

A special dev, releasing a special thing. Chuffed for Jarred. I'm hoping Bun hops to me even quicker than it can run.

kylemhon Heresy

Just read the comments in here. This is a whole lot of words to say: "I wish I could say things without facing consequences."

As somebody else said in this thread, it's really rich to see Paul write about "implicitly ending the discussion" when he instablocks anybody on Twitter so easily.

kylemhon Ask HN: Digital nomad developers, how much are you charging?

kylemhon Use spacer components instead of CSS margins (2020)

The opposite would be the intent and the goal. Align design system language WITH your spacer components ensuring strict adherence. Layout components work and they don't have performance issues.

kylemhon Use spacer components instead of CSS margins (2020)

No, it doesn't. Margin may not affect the width and height of the element with `box-sizing: border-box`, but margin still breaks encapsulation and reusability of the component. You make layout assumptions by applying margin to a component.

kylemhon Thank you, GitHub

Sure, but ICE is still a customer

kylemhon Apple M1 Max Geekbench Score

Besides what the other person commented, also consider creatives that travel. Bringing their desktop with them isn't an option.

kylemhon I'm sorry

Yes, but the author wasn't the one that reverted it.

kylemhon Apple MagSafe Battery Pack

very critical miss

kylemhon Next.js 10

Seems very disingenuous.

The only thing on the list that's related to Vercel is the analytics platform. Even that is clearly listed as something you can leverage via your own provider.

kylemhon Venice holds back the water for first time in 1,200 years

My guess would be because it closes off maritime traffic, and they likely have decided on a metric that balances both the needs of the city and traveling boats.
