toledocavani··on Apple is getting this wrong
As the maker of the iPhone, shouldn't Apple just give each employee a work phone running company's account?
toledocavani··on Designing DB partitions you don't have to babysit
And the post did mention it, argueing it may be better to partition by auto-incremented ID with the support of catch-all range and partution monitoring.

> The primary key already exists. For tables using BIGINT AUTO_INCREMENT, it’s monotonically increasing: newer rows have larger IDs. That’s the property range partitioning needs. The primary key is the partition key.

toledocavani··on Bun is being ported from Zig to Rust
For better or for worse, at least Bun is open source, and the world is not lacking a NodeJS alternative.

What is the most interesting here for me is:

- a big, clear outcome and acceptance criteria, vibe coding project on

- a public, working, high performance, full featured, production codebase by

- the leading LLM model maker known for the strongest coding ability

A good example no matter if it successes or not.

toledocavani··on Looks like it is happening
I think he meant number of reviewers per paper? Not total of reviewers.

BTW, I do think a highly educated society should give everyone capability to review or at minimum distinguish good papers

toledocavani··on Show HN: Agent Skills Leaderboard
The leaderboard is ranked by the weekly download count by their "npx skills" command. This is Vercel new "standard" skills installer so obvious their skills are at the top.
toledocavani··on PawSense: Catproof Your Computer
The other 4 cats are eat-only replicas? Is the primary predetermined or voted?
toledocavani··on Pokémon Team Optimization
While I didn't have the math brain, I came to a pretty similar conclusion based on days swimming in Bulbapedia (with an added constraint that my Deoxys must have a slot).

Took the team to online matches and got swept, the pro players have completely different team choices and strategies.

toledocavani··on We replaced H.264 streaming with JPEG screenshots (and it worked better)
This thread is great, truly the only way to get great answers on the HN is to post a wrong blog. But stupid wrong blogs are unlikely to get into HN front page, kudos for the writer for striking the right balance between easy to understand, working, interesting but faulty solution.
toledocavani··on Reservoir: Smart electric water heater
It can misses some sensor readings, boil the water and scalds the user "automatically". Dumb heaters requires the user to "manually" do this, they never do though. P/S: I'd prefer your stop working scenario
toledocavani··on Avería: The Average Font (2011)
That's interesting, because my intuition of an "average" face is, well, average and uninteresting. Can you share your source?
toledocavani··on Beliefs that are true for regular software but false when applied to AI
You need to reduce the standard to fit the Apple Intelligence (AI) in. This is also industry best practice.
toledocavani··on Show HN: I'm a dermatologist and I vibe coded a skin cancer learning app
Is there any reputable (reviewed, endorsed) AI model to detect skin cancer? I have a lot of similar moles, and playing with this app make me concern about all of them.
toledocavani··on Nullable but not null
Worked in an enterprise project where they use a BPMN engine for all business logic (designed by non-technical people).

Each process can either have predefined fields (take time to implement) or key-string value store (yes, they chose this).

Either the BPMN logic or some JSs (some, as not all people can code) in PBMN nodes or some Java hooks (a lot, wrote under those other people requests) edit those values.

So when something's wrong, we swam in the sea of key-value, search all the code for who update this field, and why it's value is not JSON nor null nor boolean but a string "Not used, waiting for policy 1234".

After that project, I'm happy every time I can use a DB to store data, more so if it can run in local, much more so if it's relational.

toledocavani··on Nanonets-OCR-s – OCR model that transforms documents into structured markdown
Which decade? DOCX and PPTX is just zipped XMLs, seems pretty standard to me
toledocavani··on Left-Pad (2024)
Who is al-Ghazali? I searched and found the Iraqi phisolopher, but couldn't understand how he is related
toledocavani··on This repo is for the DSC v3 project
When our team moved to Office 365, we wanted something declarative, and the only option was [Microsoft365DSC](https://microsoft365dsc.com/). We of course tried it, but the experience is subpar, went through hoops to set it up on Windows (no Linux, Mac support) and the output was a mix of imperative code and declarative specs, with GUI tool to help you manage. Seriously hope some Microsoft expert will create a Terraform provider for Microsoft 365. currently we have to use the Office 365 sluggish admin dashboards.
