I like Cursor. Honestly the biggest reason is the decent WYSIWYG markdown editor.

well, since Nitter stopped working I've stopped reading Twitter posts, it doesn't seem like much information value for me was lost, though especially now during Nepal floods it would be probably good source of videos, more difficult to skim through them on Reddit/4chan, if one is interested in videos of disasters

Highly doubt, perhaps you're just biased due to your own beliefs. Anyway the left/right divide is really silly -- it mixes economic and political orientation. National socialism would be left because socialism and so my god, Mr moustache man really liked beating bad guys. Alright you can argue about this, then what about the bad guys he hated most, most notably the other Mr moustache, Stalin? Communism surely is very left by today's standard, and guess what -- they enjoyed beating bad guys. Both sides of the spectrum literally call for violent revolution all the time.

Who doesn't like beating up bad people? It's in children's fairytale. Getting what you deserve is codified in human moral ideals since like probably cavemen times and movies today still have this theme.


Keyboard shortcuts for those menu items are what most people will learn -- save, print, cut, copy, and paste will be the common ones that a lot of people will know.

I'd be willing to bet that professional typists and people who spend the majority of their day typing (email, word, IDEs/text editors, etc.) are the ones who will know more keyboard shortcuts and navigation, especially for the things they do repeatedly.


Hi, developer of Bookhoarder here.

I am a big fan of e-readers, specifically Kindle. However, I would like to own my books rather than just having a digital copy on a provider, not knowing if they will allow me to read them in the future.

I started my EPUB collection 9 years ago and have quite an archive. The problem I faced was finding a way to browse them easily and send them to my e-reader. There are many self-hosted options out there, but none of them were modern, easy to use, and backed by object storage that I could point at my S3 bucket where I store my EPUB archive.

That's why I created Bookhoarder to solve this problem: an object-storage-backed EPUB library. Please check it out: https://bookhoarder.dev/, https://github.com/bookhoard/bookhoarder

Of course, I made it open source so that anyone can contribute and improve it the way they want to use the library.


Markets and rationality are sometimes just acquaintances

Yes "cheesy" and "dated" because new Windows version was about to be released in 3 months from publication of that article. So marketing machine portraying everything old as bad and everything new as better was running full speed.

In the end we all know how "well" W8 was received due to Metro components. Slightly modified Aero theme was still there, all resource files like icons, graphics were largely carried in. Aesthetically and visually that version of Windows was like 5-year old would made a papier mache operating system of two different products.


Ah, another "télécommunicant"!

I only worked on 11F centers back in the 70s and 80s, but in 1999, I salvaged some AM2901 chips from Mitra CPU boards that were headed for the scrap heap. They came from either the Yellow Pages or Transpac in Rennes facilities—it was a hectic time!

As for information sources, I found doctoral theses from CEA, a scientist from INRIA kindly pointed to INRIA historical resources and current work [0], as well as SNCF, EDF or BULL historical resources but for the simulator nothing beats Pascal Chour's website.

Due to the recent outage where it didn’t work properly, this should be renamed Monzo Limp-In.

Perhaps different from mind's eye then! But alas, I can't do that either.

Bayesian posteriors in the wild. Love it!

You can still use it via API keys (answering my own question from earlier), https://x.com/thsottiaux/status/2093515916076343774?s=46

People stretch dough, as I said, in factories, on production lines. This happens. Robots don't do this.

OpenAI's models are distilled from your HN posts

Right. That's why I think that the client syncing (all) credentials is just what I don't want/like and there must be a server, since a compromised client can obviously not be trusted to doing any rate-limiting.

And the server also needs to inform about usages, since otherwise a compromised client could just extract everything slowly over time.

Does that make sense?

Otherwise, basically just one compromised client means that suddenly all my credentials need to be considered stolen and have to be changed everywhere.


Building dbs is lots of fun. I recently did a few. Some in rust and some in go. And its really interesting.

Thanks for sharing, I agree with what he says.

I've reached a point in my career where i can essentially call the shots as far as engineering and even product direction is concerned.

But recently had to do some consulting as an IC due to circumstances (worst case scenario deal closing delay), and i can tell you that there are places where non-technical people make tech decisions without consulting anyone. Also in my already quite distant qconsultant past (wow, time flies) while it has always been common for me to sort out requirements, and help with business analysis to align them with engineering, even when you dismiss flying unicorns, the class of core requirement evolutions that can make you regret choosing a tech stack is still very large. I've seen a couple of folks fired literally due to this.

Even now that i call the shots and sell products rather than time, the roadmap uncertainty is still high (largely driven by the need to make products user-friendly enough based on feedback), so i default to .NET + angular as it keeps my game open.

B2B2C at the cross-roads of ecommerce, fintech, blockchains. So you need to deal with vendor integration requirements while making the integration smooth user-friendly UX + and keeping your own core UX premium, especially for the B2C segment.


This looks like not too bad a little budget machine. The hardware is just very recent, with Linux kernel support caught up so recently that it hasn't shown up in distros yet. Not a perfect screen or trackpad is to be expected at this price level.

Why? There's no benefit to the first person view part of it at all.

Slow and TCP only. Also requires client to have software that raises the odds that you're doing something sketchy.

I did use them in the past to access my homelab via SSH but replaced that a long time ago with VPN.


I saw that happen culturally. But never saw that much different in performance. And I really dislike terminal development. And their desktop app is really buggy.

Someone blew a hair dryer at a weather station at Paris CdG airport to win a bet.

Very probably because he took all the others for granted and thought that only the one he got explicit about was that which some may perceive as odd.

2D map would work the same way with my proposal. The "north is up" part is the issue for me, I'd like to have the rotation oriented in such a way that (the visible part of the path to) my destination is up.

>I realized I’d been sitting on the one thing most of those threads were missing: a machine that can actually run it properly, and time to measure it.

This was written by AI I take it. The one thing, huh? All those idiots running it on their RTX 6000s at 140tok/s must be feeling pretty stupid for not getting a Mac Studio instead.


Well, dbm (database manager) is basically that and has been called that for almost 50 years

I think the point is that CC was the first general use, terminal based harness. I think. Now you can use PI, or OpenCode, or whatever, and use any model you like.

Now, I’m no expert, because I was late to the game and have only ever used Pi. But I guess Cursor is some product that’s tied to your IDE? If so, then yeah. That’s just too restrictive. I still love my IDE, but I don’t want it to be my harness too.


At what ratio does it become a problem? 0.01% actual utility and 99.99% gambling, or?

You have to enjoy this article from the perception of its time.

For example #1, the idea of a central codebase + many deploys was not always the way folks did things lol.

The (2025) date must not be correct…


> Democracy, in it's purest form, is about mob rule --majority rule, if you want to say it in a softer/kinder way.

You're just parroting an old urban myth.

The terminus technicus for mob rule is ochlocracy [1]; democracy, per se, includes minority protections (i. e. if it doesn't then it isn't a democracy to begin with).
