I have a first attempt at a sync engine for my app, but it's very primitive. Just a websocket that sends updates based on database triggers. If you miss one, you have to do a full reload. I know …

Pro-tip, just say that "you have not gotten a business phone line yet" when registering at the Chamber of Commerce. That's a loophole I've used to stay unlisted, after my previous …

Broken links with 404s have been called "a feature, not a bug" of the web, but I think that for internal documentation purposes, having consistent bi-directional links is a _very_ good thing…

Cool story :) out of curiosity, do you program those kind of things on the calculator itself? I did that with the hp49g and was proud of the programs I was able to write in such a constrained environ…

Understandable ;) In any case,the hardware is a fraction of the costs if you count the hours... Would be interested to see a bit of your hardware setup!

Shameless plug for those who like rotary phones: I converted mine into a fully functional bluetooth headset, including dialing phone numbers with the rotary dial. The HN post didn't do well but i…

I visited Rome two weeks ago but only knew about St Clemente. Too bad I'm only reading this now, would have loved to have visited the other sites too! St Clemente is great though, and not nearly …

Wellll, there is Berlin Unterwelten. They don't glorify the Nazi past by any means, but they do allow you to visit bunkers from WW2 and the cold war.

Having the LLM modify the AST seems like a great idea. Constraining an LLM to only generate valid code would be super interesting too. Hope this works out!

For some reason I looked into this a couple of weeks ago, and discovered there's one in Amsterdam pretty close to where I often work, in the Grand Hotel Amrâth. It's supposedly open to the p…

Agreed, and it seems to stem from the NiMH requirement. Maybe designing a protective shell around a LiPO battery (to avoid puncture damage) would have made more sense? Pretty impressive work though! I…

Thanks! Quite a bit more money than Cursor (probably better quality, as Cursor's context is limited) but still peanuts compared to hiring someone :)

Nice! I tried it out when you launched last year but found it pretty expensive to use. I believe I spent $5 for half an hour of coding or so. Can you share what the typical costs are now, since the mo…

How bad is the bill?

A bit off-topic, but I wonder when Cursor is going to see a massive price increase. I've tried Aider (granted, this was when GPT4 prices were still much higher) and spent $10 in one hour easily. …

Well, we (in NL) are used to bikes going mostly the same speed and people in cars and bikes following the rules. With overpowered fat-bikes, it's now much more chaotic than a decade ago. The esta…

Very cool, I'm working on something similar as part of a bigger project (not TUI related). I'm interested in how you did blame caching, will take a look at the implementation. I am trying to…

That's what the mailmap is for.

For sure. But through writing we've been able to learn more, and through AI we'll produce more.

Plato, in the Phaedrus, 370BC: "They will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of exte…

Is there a safe fork somewhere?

He's 11 and loving it! Had to close the computer to get him to stop and go to bed. Well done!

Super cool! Tried a couple of rounds, will try it with my oldest kid who's very into history tomorrow, I'm sure he'll love it.

I haven't tried Claude Code yet, so forgive my ignorance, but does it integrate with linters as well as Cursor does? I've seem excellent results on my Rust & Typescript codebase where it…

Make sure you learn a lot. Ask the LLMs to explain anything you don't deeply understand. With all of these coding assistants, there will be many juniors that get a lot done, but don't really…

I was CTO for an online eye exam for 5 years and have a couple of patents in this area. Happy to chat! Not an ophthalmologist but I know some things and some people. Email is in my profile.

We should apply to the next YC batch as cofounders.

Or integrated miniature diesel generators.

Treemaps are the default, and are great for finding outliers with heatmaps, but terrible in terms of explainability. So now I'm heading into architecture diagram territory, and tree-sitter is hel…
