yde_java··on Pebble Mega Update – July 2026
Feels so fresh to hear their CEO talk so openly and transparently of all the flaws their products still have. Sounds like he's someone very fun to work with.
yde_java··on Europe's new climate in seven charts
Ask your grandparents about "Die große Dürre 1947" in Germany. Near entirely dried-up rivers and reservoirs, lakes three meters below normal, roughly half a million cattle emergency-slaughtered in Bavaria, hydroelectric shutdowns forcing power rationing, and forest fires along the Bavarian–Austrian border. Sure we have an all time high now, but currently there's still too much water as one could stick their head into the soil of the Elbe and Rhine.

Research past heat waves in Europe. Did your grand parents felt the same as you?
yde_java··on This blog is written in en-GB
Being proud of your culture including your language and exercising it, at the risk of readers not understanding everything immediately, is not racism. In the worst case, a non-British gets curious about one expression or the other and looks it up. That's engagement.
yde_java··on OpenAI ‘in early talks to give 5% stake to US government’
With the USA and Israel tightening their intelligence agencies / secret service exchange, and now pulling in OpenAI -- that's a very effective strategy to exercise more worldly dominance
yde_java··on The CEO of Mullvad is the main financer of the Swedish Örebro party
> to advance public policy with the primary and direct intent to restrict freedom of expression.

I'd love to see you proving this claim as I believe that's not what the party stands for.

Haters will now say that the far right will destroy exactly that: "our" democracy. The Western morality is a joke, and many HN readers comment like an infant. I feel ashamed.
yde_java··on Pentagon raised threat of Israeli spying on U.S. to highest level, sources say
Sorry, the linked article shared above is from 2024. Here's a more recent one with a much larger budget for their state propaganda:

Not sure if Russia, China and the others you mention spend more (totalled) than $730M?

Might be an attempt to correct history after the bad fact. There are huge budgets nowadays set up to correct public opinion, e.g. https://www.timesofisrael.com/foreign-ministry-to-receive-ma...

Edit: a more recent article mentions a budget of $730M:

yde_java··on Qite.js – Frontend framework for people who hate React and love HTML
Why self-censoring for using "hate" when it gets the message across quickly? Everyone understands that we use "hate" and "love" with huge levels of nuances. I personally said today to a colleague "I hate working from home" but it's clear that I'm not a racist against people who "love" remote work. We do work with a very lax work-from-philosophy.
yde_java··on No-build, no-NPM, SSR-first JavaScript framework if you hate React, love HTML
How and when do your components update in such an architecture?
yde_java··on WritBase – Open-source task management for AI agent fleets (MCP-native)
Link goes 404
yde_java··on East Germany balloon escape
> The Berlin Wall fell six months after Egbert's escape.

Ironic. Still quite an adventure. Thanks for sharing!

yde_java··on Why I'm Learning Sumerian
I read the entire post, very well written, and didn't suffer from that impression that it was written by an LLM
yde_java··on Pairing with Claude Code to rebuild my startup's website
Talking about coding websites: I'm a seasoned dev who loves to be in control of the website code, but hates debugging nitty gritty layouting issues, which steal tons of time and attention. I want to progress fast building great landing websites for my tech products, with the same speed that I code the products themselves. What stacks and LLM tools (if any) do you recommend that help writing great looking websites with great SEO support... fast?
yde_java··on OpenAI Grove
The FAQ items don't expand for me, on Android Vivaldi.
yde_java··on Dict Unpacking in Python
I use the Python package 'sorcery' [0] in all my production services.

It gives dict unpacking but also a shorthand dict creation like this:

    from sorcery import dict_of, unpack_keys
    a, b = unpack_keys({'a': 1, 'b': 42})
    assert a == 1
    assert b == 42
    assert dict_of(a, b) == {'a': 1, 'b': 42}

yde_java··on What 1k Contributors Taught Me About Open-Source
Very well written, thanks to the original author
yde_java··on Anthropic Desktop Extensions: One-click local MCP installation in desktop apps
What problem does that solve? Is it for developing and testing MCP servers locally before sharing/publishing them?
yde_java··on Getting Past Procrastination
Before coding on the actual problem I usually start with a tiny refactoring of something that's related. That's my warming up sports before tackling the actual exercise. Works 100% for me.
