xeornet··on DHH at Rails World – Ruby on Rails no longer needed now because AI can make apps
The truth hurts...

Also, there is some nuance to his message that isn't reflected in the post title.

xeornet··on Cloudflare Quick Tunnels
Looks like they straight up vibe coded the landing page lol.
xeornet··on EU to limit access to social media before age of 15
I hope Whatsapp communities are included. Insidious way of introducing trash without the ability to block it on a childs phone.
xeornet··on Show HN: ResolveHQ – A Helpdesk Built on Cloudflare Workers, D1, R2 and Queues
Finally! Hopefully we can stop hearing about Resend. Hyping up an SES wrapper like it's the cure for cancer.
xeornet··on Mind game helps men reduce Alzheimer's risk by 25% but not women
We are literally wired differently.
xeornet··on Elon Musk's Lawyers Ask OpenAI's President Why He Is Worth $30B
Quite a different story to looting funds from a non-profit to flip into a corporation.
xeornet··on Cloudflare crawl endpoint
Not sure about the first claim. But yes, talking to the founder, sharing details and having it stolen is not a good look. Sorry that happened to you.
xeornet··on Ask HN: Is Claude down again?
Auth is failing, session kicked out.
xeornet··on Cloudflare crawl endpoint
"they copied my idea by showing interest in my product and then copied it". What exactly is revolutionary about Firecrawl or your product? Scraping APIs have been around for over a decade.
xeornet··on Merge PDF
Clearly vibe coded like yesterday.
xeornet··on I think WebRTC is better than SSH-ing for connecting to Mac terminal from iPhone
Conveniently running Claude Code while sitting on the toilet?
xeornet··on The TSA's New $45 Fee to Fly Without ID Is Illegal
I imagine it's the same as a police officer asking for your name on the street. They are allowed to ask, and you are required to provide it. There's no restriction of freedom happening. I think it's logically prudent to know who is on a flight.
xeornet··on The TSA's New $45 Fee to Fly Without ID Is Illegal
About 75% of the time I don't get asked for ID at all when flying within Schengen Europe. I understand technically there isn't any border crossing, but they have absolutely no idea who is actually on the plane. Wild.
xeornet··on The TSA's New $45 Fee to Fly Without ID Is Illegal
Wait so when I get treated differently in China due to being white... it's not racist?

You're so far up your own virtue signalling you've lost touch.

xeornet··on US to suspend immigrant visa processing for 75 nations, State Department says
Okay. I am also not from the US nor do I live there. I am an immigrant in the country I live in.

No need to be passive aggresive or assume political leanings. I have no horse in this race.

Thank you for your contribution.

xeornet··on US to suspend immigrant visa processing for 75 nations, State Department says
Thank you, that helps to clarify.

I think HN discussion should stand alone and not require research to find what someone is vaguely referring to, especially in an emotionally charged comment.

xeornet··on US to suspend immigrant visa processing for 75 nations, State Department says
Loving the downvotes on a valid, reasonable question. I'm asking for specifics, isn't that what goes into a good comment here? Or maybe the downvotes are political.
xeornet··on US to suspend immigrant visa processing for 75 nations, State Department says
Genuinely curious: what exactly did we see before?

And what will the luck be needed for?

A very vague comment.

xeornet··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
The standard playbook. If its not nuclear weapons, it's the spread of democracy, or "helping people". The global police just securing their natural resources, nothing to see here.
xeornet··on JetBlue flight averts mid-air collision with US Air Force jet
It’s satire, a hit at global geopolitics where the US is placed as the global police. A joke, if you will.

I read about this incident in detail even before it was posted on HN.

xeornet··on JetBlue flight averts mid-air collision with US Air Force jet
The United States.
xeornet··on Amazon EC2 M9g Instances
I think Graviton would still be much more energy efficient though? (I'm not sure)

I believe the main motivator for AWS is efficiency, not performance. $ of income per watt spend is much better for them on Graviton.

xeornet··on $5 PlanetScale is live
Have we forgotten they promised free forever then flipped? I’ll pass on this, thanks.
xeornet··on GPT-5.1: A smarter, more conversational ChatGPT
Point taken. However, would you say HN readers are an accurate average cross-section of broader society? Including interests and biases?
xeornet··on GPT-5.1: A smarter, more conversational ChatGPT
Classic case of thinking that the use-case HN readers want is what the rest of the world wants.
xeornet··on How much Anthropic and Cursor spend on Amazon Web Services
I guess by this logic we should never have a depression/recession/bubble burst ever again? We always learn from our mistakes!
xeornet··on Trump Orders National Guard to Washington and Takeover of Capital’s Police
My comment still stands relevant in response to the country turning into a “hellscape” because of the current administration.
xeornet··on Trump Orders National Guard to Washington and Takeover of Capital’s Police
This was the same doomsday message in the last Trump term. Nothing happened.
xeornet··on Iran halts cooperation with UN nuclear watchdog
Ukraine never had them. They were Russian and could only be launched with codes held in Russia.
xeornet··on CT scans could cause 5% of cancers, study finds; experts note uncertainty
Well actually let’s find out whether they do cause it or not. Patients ought to know the risks beforehand if so. The calculation as to net benefit can be done later.
