lagniappe··on Ask HN: Is it time for HN to implement a form of captcha?
>There are forums that silo themselves in various ways. HN is an experiment in how far you can get without any of those kinds of features,

Normally I'd agree, but we have shadowbans, which really irks me.

lagniappe··on Google AI Studio is now sponsoring Tailwind CSS
Will this change the situation of the 75% of engineers who just got laid off, or is this just to fund the framework, rather than the Tailwind Plus team?
lagniappe··on Opus 4.5 is not the normal AI agent experience that I have had thus far
It doesn't make it right or any less contrary. We should hold ourselves to a consistent standard.
lagniappe··on An Honest Review of Go (2025)
I would not agree with that assertion. Just off the top of my head, being familiar with both:

- context

- net/http as a full server framework, not just a request library

- net/http/pprof

- runtime/pprof

- runtime/trace

- embed

- testing as the canonical, required test framework

- net/rpc

- net/http/cgi

- net/http/fcgi

- net/http/httptest

- os/signal with integrated channel-based delivery

- sync/atomic with language-aligned memory model semantics

- runtime as a documented and supported API surface

Hey you caught that! I was hoping someone would notice the joke :)
lagniappe··on An Honest Review of Go (2025)
Go is a pleasure to use. The stdlib is one of the most complete, while keeping the keyword count low. LLMs understand it very well, project size stays low, line count stays low (if err nil included), doesn't need a bunch of scaffolded boilerplate in the project directory, and it compiles very quickly for a ton of OS and architectures. Very seldom do I ever need to go outside of the stdlib.

Is it perfect for everything? no. Is it the fastest compiled language out there? no. But, it'll do most things very well, and for me that's good enough. I choose go because when I need to make something, it steps aside and lets me build, and for that I have great respect and appreciation for it.

I will be defering all detractors and negative comments ;)

Rules are rules, and excuses are excuses.

lagniappe··on Ozempic Melted Away Weight–and the Idea of 'Body Positivity'
Thermodynamics is undefeated, people cannot just manifest mass. It must enter through the mouth.

At the time, 2 million was an appreciable sum. Maybe not to a government, but that wasn't chump change back then the way it is now.

The person in that video really has an ear for synthesis. I've spent quite some time watching all the strudel videos and this creator consistently shows the best skill across genres.

This site said HN was fine and green the entire time it was down.

SVG is a current standard. Do not be coy just to satisfy your urge to disagree.
lagniappe··on Mistral releases Devstral2 and Mistral Vibe CLI
Yes, and I had a lengthier response in that thread explaining why this isn't a useful metric.

lagniappe··on Mistral releases Devstral2 and Mistral Vibe CLI
That is not a meaningful metric given that we don't live in 1996 and neither do our web standards.
