Looks like a sweet tool for both people and LLM use. I’ve always found OpenAPI difficult to read.

Does YC’s agreement with founders not include a clause requiring them to follow terms and conditions? I know it’s implicit, but making it explicit can help guide what would otherwise be misguided deci…

I agree, the stream concept should be (and is) very general and ideally cover all these cases - any “bytes producing” source. I was trying to be open minded about that and conceive a stream API over a…

While Web RTC is built on UDP, it does not allow sending arbitrary UDP. It's DTLS, perhaps encapsulating SCTP, and DCEP.

True. But it’s also true that trying to shoehorn every use case into TCP streams is counter productive. A stream API can layer over UDP as well (reading in order of arrival with packet level framing),…

It seems like this attack would be thwarted by so called “multi PSK” networks (non-standard but common tech that allows giving each client their own PSK on the same SSID). Is that true?

As someone who has built an e-discovery platform I can tell you that any delays these days are because they are helpful to minimize negative employer cash flow. In other words, exactly why corporate l…

I haven’t been to a gym since leaving college (I rowed in a championship 8, and twice daily workouts were a thing). Instead I do manual labor and love it. I’ve built dry stack basalt walls, mowed, edg…

The key here is scale. What works in inches often falls apart at feet. The structure is holding about 33 psi over the area (which is rigidly supported from below), much more along the contact edges. B…

I really hope someone at Apple is paying attention. The text entry experience on iOS 26 really is frustratingly bad. Almost unusable (I’ve been going to the laptop for anything more than a few words).…

I started a bit younger and am a bit older, and relate. But only so much. I started programming in 3rd grade (also BASIC) when I found a computer and learned how to play a game on it, then found the …

In a perfect world, yes. But mechanisms aren’t perfect and it’s entirely possible if not likely that steps will be missed as friction increases over time and things wear. I’m not saying these things m…

I built a feature priority and sizing app based on this for my team years ago. It worked very well technically, but it was a challenge to get people past their desire to drive the process with anecdot…

Shorter lifespans drive faster evolution. That was taught in basic biology and we, as a society, know it all too well (infectious diseases). It’s difficult to square obsession with a long life with a …

Why would I use this rather than ‘sam build && sam deploy’? Coding template files is basically a non-issue these days, and provides great flexibility.

That's a bummer. While I'm not in your shoes, I can understand the excitement of solving a new library's "puzzle". And, how that may seem less valuable when a code generator c…

I don’t want to believe for a second anyone would walk away from Silicon Valley because of being taxed. The impact on the calculus of reward simply doesn’t make sense. On the other hand I am always su…

Fair point that yes I’m eating my own dog food here. And I’ve been called a robot enough times maybe I should keep track. To the question, UDP is easier on a battery than MQTT.

WireGuard doesn’t add noticeable battery drain in my experience. I have a fleet of Xiao ESP32-C3 devices with DS1820 temperature sensors that run on batteries and send samples over WireGuard. The batt…

I monitor packet loss on both sides all day every day. It’s still a thing, but different than I’d imagined: - Episodic most often. Something transient causes high loss for a short time. This happens l…

WireGuard is far smaller in my experience. I don’t set aside the possibility that someone more clever than me can get IPsec condensed down to something tiny but I never could — it’s just too much in o…

The zero is just a magic number to indicate grab the newest. So it’s just showing the most recent comments.

The refresh rate must be something like 20fps when scrolling the text of long posts. I’m not sure and haven’t measured. While I’m working I glance at it from time to time and get a sense of the wide b…
