Really nice stuff. But the mobile ux is horrendous.
langarus··on Tailscale Peer Relays is now generally available
Any idea how this solution compares to parsec?

the character looks ai generated, doesn't inspire confidence
langarus··on YouTube's $60B revenue revealed amid paid subscriber push
> He said YouTube Premium - its service letting users pay to remove ads between videos, or songs on its music service - had helped boost paid subscriptions across Google consumer services to more than 325 million in 2025 overall.

Out of the 60bn they made only 325 ml from paid subscribers. The title made it like it was an important figure. There's also no YOY numbers or profit so it's difficult to draw a conclusion.

langarus··on Don't rent the cloud, own instead
Other benefits: easy access to reliable infrastructure and latest hardware which you can swap as you please. There are cases where it makes sense to navigate away from the big players (like dropbox going from aws to on-prem), but again you make this move when you want to optimize costs and are not worried about the trade-offs.
langarus··on Don't rent the cloud, own instead
This is a great solution for a very specific type of team but I think most companies with consistent GPU workloads will still just rent dedicated servers and call it a day.
langarus··on Ask HN: How are you automating your coding work?
I've began using Opus and I felt it was a class above all the rest. Used cursor and teste different models, but opus somehow was always much much better. Bought the max for 100$, totally worth it.

I'd have to host it somewhere (s3?). Right now I only commit the solution png to github. OFC it's not a good option but it's free and fast.

on disk, so basically I'm trying to save the image of a solution and reuse it if the same quiz is required. So instead of recomputing the result just return the same image.

I see some of you are already crashing the server. :melting: try to run it locally if you can't get the result via render
langarus··on enclose.horse
lovely, I've created a solution finder for it.

1. Do a screenshot of the grid (try to include walls as well)

2. Open https://enclosure-horse-solution.onrender.com/

3. Make sure the number of walls are correct in the input (bottom left)

4. Press "Solve"

PS: It might crash as it's on the free version of render. I've added a caching layer.

Here's the github so you can run it locally:

https://github.com/langarus/enclosure.horse-solution

clone it and run

make init // make web

In a commons folder?
langarus··on SimCity in the web browser using WebAssembly and OpenGL
really love this. Where would one start in order to get better at this? Mainly porting old games to wasm

langarus··on Tell HN: Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you all.
langarus··on Show HN: Bi-directional sync between Postgres and SQLite
Great concept! What if the user is offline, makes updates to the local/embedded DB, but when it gets online there's an issue in syncing that prevents updating the postgress with the SQLite changes?

Is SQLite reverted to postgress and thus the changes lost?

langarus··on Who makes the most reliable new cars?
They built that reputation on merit. But for the past 10 years they focused a lot on profits. Ask any mechanic and no one in his right mind would recommend getting one. Unless you don't mind paying frequent high fees for repairs.
langarus··on Is the S&P 500 Broken?
Exactly, if the author would have looked at least at PE ratio the conclusions would have been different. Seems like amateurish writing
langarus··on Is the S&P 500 Broken?
It's really easy to compare the current situation with the 98. Burry has been calling out the index fund bubble for quite some time. In 98 there was a .net bubble which looks more to the web3 craze we had in the last years.

Spoiler: it's a rowing boat with the shape of Bezos' face. Pretty impressive
langarus··on M3 Max Geekbench
Have you tried running remote via parsec (if you want the full desktop experience)? With proper internet connection you won't realize you are on a remote connection.

I get

when starting a game, anyone have an idea why? On both chrome and edge.

langarus··on Full consensus for disconnecting Russia from SWIFT achieved, process has begun
I've watched a 2015 talk as well.

He still does not address the issue that by remaining neutral Ukraine has a very high chance of becoming a puppet state to Russia.

If he's not biased his thesis is incomplete.

langarus··on Full consensus for disconnecting Russia from SWIFT achieved, process has begun
What Measarshimer is missing in his presentation is that Russia's plan with Ukraine is not to be a neutral country but rather a puppet like Belarus.

I smell bias.
