literallyroy··on Conventional Commits encourages focus on the wrong things
Is the benefit of using a separate source that you can include images or something else I’m missing? Couldn’t you include context in the commit body?
literallyroy··on To have a moral stance on AI is to be an outcast, and it sucks
Thank you for putting this in more generalized terms. I was just thinking replace AI with smart phone and this reads the same.
literallyroy··on Microsoft 0-day feud escalates as researcher threatens another exploit dump
Unfortunately I think “good faith” goes away quick in the face of “bone shattering”
literallyroy··on Hetzner Price Adjustment
Smaller more frequent price increases is potentially better than larger less frequent price increases assuming they need the increase to stay profitable? Sounds like they didn’t predict the continued increasing costs.
literallyroy··on Ask HN: Shouldn't Google need to give a public statement about Railway incident?
The company I work for uses GCP and we preciously had intermittent CloudSQL connection errors for a few hours. We reached out and they resolved it after a day or so and said there was a minor incident but I don’t think it was ever publically reported.
literallyroy··on Changes to GitHub Copilot individual plans
Removing access to opus is pretty funny. At least they recognize it’s unacceptable and tell you to go get a refund.

The per-request model was pretty insane.

literallyroy··on I shipped a transaction bug, so I built a linter
Hey this is exactly the pattern we have and the bugs we need to catch… yoink?
literallyroy··on GitHub Stacked PRs
Yeah that is a “stacked” pr. The tooling is nice especially when have a larger stack and make changes to the first branch. Update refs + push all branches, same with merging and rebasing onto main.
literallyroy··on SQLite in Production: Lessons from Running a Store on a Single File
It’s strange how easy it is to spot.
literallyroy··on Issue: Claude Code is unusable for complex engineering tasks with Feb updates
It’s a really cool shade of black though.
literallyroy··on Moving from GitHub to Codeberg, for lazy people
Does self-hosted support SCIM or something else easy to connect for automatic user provisioning? Or do yal do account creations manually?
literallyroy··on Death of the IDE?
The hypest of hypers seem to be those who are new to the field or were never responsible for long term outcomes.
literallyroy··on Discord cuts ties with identity verification software, Persona
Thanks. I was curious if someone was going to address the weird use of “CATASTROPHIC” to describe source maps being available for front-end code. It’s already public. Minified is better for the regular user, and should be in production, but it’s like by far the least problematic thing in this article.
literallyroy··on Hacker News.love – 22 projects Hacker News didn't love
Weird AI piece. There was a post a few days ago looking at historical sentiment of HN posts; it looks like someone slapped that info into an LLM and asked for a neat website.

Just read the “outcome” for Warp:

> … and became the most popular modern terminal. Login removed, telemetry made optional — every criticism addressed.

Insane

literallyroy··on Turn Dependabot off
The go ecosystem is pretty good about being backwards compatible. Dependabot regular update prs once a week seems like a good option in addition to govulncheck.
literallyroy··on Warcraft III Peon Voice Notifications for Claude Code
I don’t see “Jobs done!” in the README :(
literallyroy··on GitHub is down again
That’s a safer approach but will cause teams to need to test in two infrastructures (old world and new) til the entire new environment is ready for prime time. They’re hopefully moving fast and definitely breaking things.
literallyroy··on Pinterest sacks two engineers for creating software to identify fired workers
Yep you can use your browser cookies to be authenticated and hit the slack api and get deactivated accounts. It’s wild and depressing to watch folks get deactivated in real time
literallyroy··on Show HN: Voiden – an offline, Git-native API tool built around Markdown
On a big TUI kick recently and that looks incredible! Good stuff
literallyroy··on Ask HN: What did you find out or explore today?
Duckdb can read in json, so you can dump kafka messages into a file and filter with SQL
literallyroy··on Banning Things for Other People Is Easy
Depressingly bad argument that seems to say: we think it’s bad for children and adults, but we don’t ban it for adults so we shouldn’t ban it for children.
literallyroy··on Everything as code: How we manage our company in one monorepo
Thanks for the reply :]

That seems better as long as you can keep it standard across the team. I don’t usually check each commit when reviewing since frequent iterative commits mean folks change their mind and I’d review already removed logic when looking at early commits.

I’ve been scraping by on basic git usage so didn’t know about fix-up commits, that’s excellent.

literallyroy··on Git Rebase for the Terrified
I think the callout to squash first will be helpful (if your lots of commits aren’t good info themselves)
literallyroy··on The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe
Delinia does this currently (I don’t think the fix is public yet).

You can run a python script to track the focused window every few seconds to identify what’s stealing focus.

literallyroy··on Eat Real Food
Any recommendations for healthy family eating that doesn’t require an hour every day?
literallyroy··on I'm a developer for a major food delivery app
If it helps: they do not all work this way
literallyroy··on Project ideas to appreciate the art of programming
It’s definitely some marketing, but way less than it could be. It recommends looking at the redis docs to build a reds client rather than the websites own tutorial/paid product for doing so.
literallyroy··on Everything as code: How we manage our company in one monorepo
I’m all ears for a better approach because squashing seems like a good way to preserve only useful information.

My history ends up being: - add feature x - linting - add e2e tests - formatting - additional comments for feature - fix broken test (ci caught this) - update README for new feature - linting

With a squash it can boil down to just “added feature x” with smaller changes inside the description.

literallyroy··on Zig quits GitHub, says Microsoft's AI obsession has ruined the service
What are you referring to? I may be missing a line from the article but it seems mostly focused around a lingering GitHub Actions bug and the direction of GitHub.
literallyroy··on Microsoft sued for allegedly tricking millions into Copilot M365 subscriptions
Was this messaging only shown in Australia? That seems incredibly misleading/a flat out lie.
