Then why is HTTP, CSS and HTML free ? It's creators need to eat too. Should they start charging for it ?

simlevesqueon It's hard to justify Tahoe icons

The old guidelines assumes the user is literate. Apple's focus has changed since then. I'm not saying it's working well, but this vision leads to things like this.

That's why we need to test websites on multiple browsers.

Yeah I'm never touching Bazel again. I value my sanity.

Anyone can buy a 9950x on Amazon or any tech store, it's consumer hardware.

simlevesqueon Claude Code gets native LSP support

There's pyright-lsp. Isn't this a Python LSP ? or is it lacking important features ?

simlevesqueon Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. We Tracked Ourselves

It's what happens when we rank private property over human lives. We deserve this.

simlevesqueon A Safer Container Ecosystem with Docker: Free Docker Hardened Images

I don't hate them. But I don't want to depend on them for any product I manage.

> Is Docker sunsetting the Free Team plan?

simlevesqueon Claude CLI deleted my home directory and wiped my Mac

Let us know when your allowlist is done.

simlevesqueon Claude CLI deleted my home directory and wiped my Mac

You could remove the origin on the repo and add it back only when you need to push.

Personally I do this: local machine with all repos, containers with a single repo without the origin. When I need to deploy I rsync new files from the container to my local and push.

simlevesqueon Kimi K2 1T model runs on 2 512GB M3 Ultras

I think the opposite. I don't want to write down everything and I like when my agents take some initiative or come up with solutions I didn't think of.

I see btop in the video, I'd like to see a video of btop on that screen.

simlevesqueon VPN location claims don't match real traffic exits

> I would easily pay €30 a month for a VPN in my home country that uses a residential IP and isn't noticeable. I am aware that those exist, but 99% of them are shady.

For residential IPs you can't even pay per month like normal VPNs, normally they charge per GB, usually over $2 usd per GB.

simlevesqueon Java FFM zero-copy transport using io_uring

Yeah but you're leaving out a crucial part: the code is full of useless comments.

That leaves 2 options:

- they didn't read the code themselves to ensure it's valid

- they did read the code themselves but left the useless comments

No matter which happened it shows they're a bad developer and I don't want to run their code.

simlevesqueon If you're going to vibe code, why not do it in C?

Go is perfect for this.

There's a lot of LLM haters, simple as that.

simlevesqueon RAM is so expensive, Samsung won't even sell it to Samsung

I responded here, it's essentially the same content: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46150030

simlevesqueon RAM is so expensive, Samsung won't even sell it to Samsung

I should have been more clear: It's my http cache for my crawling jobs. Lots of files in many shapes.

My new setup: gen5 ssd in desktop:

    > time find . -type f | wc -l
    5645741
    ________________________
    Executed in    4.77 secs

My old setup, gen3 ssd in laptop:

    > time find . -type f | wc -l
    2944648
    ________________________
    Executed in   27.53 secs

Both are running pretty much non-stop, very slowly.

simlevesqueon RAM is so expensive, Samsung won't even sell it to Samsung

There's over twice as much content in the first test. It's around 3.8gb/s vs 30gb/s if you divide both folder size and both du durations. That makes it 7.9 times faster and I'm comfortable calling this "almost 10 times".

simlevesqueon RAM is so expensive, Samsung won't even sell it to Samsung

I've had this with gen5 PCIe SSDs recently. My T710 is so fast it's hard to believe. But you need to have a lot of data to make it worth.

Example:

    > time du -sh .
    737G .
    ________________________
    Executed in   24.63 secs

And on my laptop that has a gen3, lower spec NVMe:

    > time du -sh .
    304G .
    ________________________
    Executed in   80.86 secs

It's almost 10 times faster. The CPU must have something to do with it too but they're both Ryzen 9.

It's the same memory wafer capacity. They're not separate.

simlevesqueon Show HN: Fresh – A new terminal editor built in Rust

I hate to be that guy, but did you know about Fresh, Deno's official frontend framework ? [1] If your app wasn't using Deno for extensibility it wouldn't be such a problem but since it is, I think it's gonna make searching for both harder.

I bet CC will become a binary with bun included and it'll use it's internal JS engine to run most scripts.

simlevesqueon YouTube increases FreeBASIC performance (2019)

I have a question: what hardware did you use and how long did you need to generate the embeddings ?
