  1. During that time I couldn't load HN web page, but my HN CLI tool could connect to HN: https://github.com/Aperocky/hnterminal, but only read.
  2. Unnecessary complexity, completely arbitrary one off designs, over emphasis on one part of the behavior while ignoring others. Using design patterns where they shouldn't be used, code once and forget operations exist, using languages and framework that are familiar but unfit for that purpose. The list goes on and I see it happen all the time, AI only makes it worse because it tend to verify all of these with "You're absolutely correct!".

    Good luck maintaining that.

  3. Happy have so many definition that I like the question better, it is much less ambiguous than "happy".

    My happiness changes depending on many external factor and varies by hour and days, but the answer to the former question aren't going to change quite as often, would have probably provided the same answer over the entire year.

  4. I don't think OP claimed that. There is no conflict between not able to formulate the true model vs the existence of that actual model.

    Just because we weren't able to discover all of the law of physics, doesn't mean they don't apply to us.

  5. Or if you spent any time on an elliptical or treadmill.
  6. It's almost vindication for where I work an SDE needs to do everything, infra, development, deployment, launch, operations. There's no dedicated QA, test or operations on a product level, and while AI helped a great deal it's pretty clear it cannot replace me at least within the next 2 to 3 iterations.

    If I was only writing code, the fear would be completely justified.

  7. tascli: https://github.com/Aperocky/tascli

    A local, cli based task and record manager, focused on simplicity and speed but includes support like managing schedules and records and searches etc to support it being a structured schedule helper.

  8. Here's a quick custom markov page you can have fun with, (all in client) https://aperocky.com/markov/

    npm package of the markov model if you just want to play with it on localhost/somewhere else: https://github.com/Aperocky/weighted-markov-generator

  9. This is absolutely correct and the reason why S3 exist and are popular. However have you looked at the case being discussed here? There's a place for object storage and the pattern as discussed might even warrant being a cache or cache cluster.
  10. Yes, so file system is a superset of object storage, making this even less of a competition. It's easy to implement object storage on FS vs. the other way around.
  11. they are not using AI to bring it up (only the demand from AI), but this is still funny.
  12. So they built an object storage to replace filesystem.

    And in "Why Not Just Use a Filesystem?", the answer they gave is "the line is already blurring" and "industry is converging".

    The line maybe blurring but as mentioned is still a clear cut use case for file system - or if higher access speed is warranted, just slap more RAM to the system and cache them. It will still cost less even at current cost of RAM.

  13. AgenticHub!
  14. Sometimes a simple bash script will give it wings: https://github.com/Aperocky/diaryman

    What this is:

    $ diary # opens vim to $DIARYDIR/year/month/day.md

  15. Once GitHub fully migrates to Azure, it should be known as GitHub 11.
  16. In defense of AWS consoles, they are derivative of AWS APIs, as such they are really just a convenience layer that will only occasionally string 2+ AWS APIs together for convenience purposes that can be considered distinct feature on the console.

    That is wholly unlike the problem here where the console and API somehow behaves completely differently.

  17. There are too much of both fear and optimism in what's is essentially a better compiler and google.

    Eventually we will gravitate back to square one, and business people are not going to be writing COBOL or VISUAL BASIC or the long list of eventual languages (yes this now include natural ones, like English) that claim to be so easy that a manager would write it. And Googling/Prompting remain a skill that surprisingly few has truly mastered.

    Of course all the venture capital believe that soon we'll be at AGI, but like the internet bubble of 2001 we can awkwardly stay at this stage for quite a long time.

  18. Haven't used Windows in almost a decade, has it gotten that bad?

    I can't log on to a windows computer if the cloud account don't exist? What if there's no internet?

  19. It is local, the program use a sqlite db locally and does not talk to internet whatsoever.

    In that it's not necessarily different than writing your todolist on a notebook - someone other than you could have got hold of that and read it - say if it's on a shared shelve.

  20. It does support YYYY/mm/dd which is the international standard.

    Curious - in Europe, do you do dd/mm/YYYY or dd.mm.YYYY? The latter should be straightforward to support, but former would conflict with mm/dd/YYYY that's already included.
