You’ve completely missed the point, it’s saying that the skill will need you to provide a Trello API key but he hasn’t declared that it will need that

Subsequently they’ve included the use of curl but also haven’t declared that either which means that it _could_ leak your key if you provide it one. That’s why it’s suspicious - virus total has flagged that you should probably review the skill.md

Hosted on premise for enterprise, VPC for mid market customers. For enterprise customers, FDE model makes most sense for a product like this and they would assist with implementation and training. For mid market customers, I'm still exploring options to make it cost effective.

For domain-specific optimization, the value is in the solver integrations, specific constraints that form the seed, and the modular simulation that powers the visuals. The software is monetized, not the services around it.

> How will you stop LLMs from recreating it?
Having worked this space for a while now I think there are two ways to ensure reliability (the real moat here), first is going deep into five-six problems that are complex enough that out of box solutions/simple prompting don't work well. Second, tightly coupling a simulator to provide rapid feedback that actually helps change manage and solve the "people" problem when optimizing operations.

You're all wrong; the singularity already happened... probably sometime around 2000 B.C... when humans started farming:

I'm in the foothills in Northern California, and I've never met anyone here that changes their ties out for winter. When there's chain controls, they'll let you through if you have winter rated tires, including all-season, and all-wheel drive, otherwise you need chains.

Everyone I know who drives a lot in the snow gets a vehicle with all-wheel drive and everyone else carries chains. (really they're cables, on a small vehicle)

The difference between what winter-only tires can handle vs winter-rated all-season tires is so minimal that they're not with getting. Chance ate conditions are either fine for the all-season tie or there so bad that the difference is inconsequential and you need all-wheel drive or chains.

I've only heard of people changing their tires on the Midwest, where snowfalls are in the inches, not feet.

Sure, happy to follow up with a detailed comparison.

TL;DR: Octopus Deploy has a strong focus on CD, providing a Cloud based framework to push your software to multiple targets. Distr also supports directly and continuously deploying your software to various deployment targets, but it additionally supports the pull approach, where the customer fully self-manages their infrastructure and simply fetches the application or artifacts from Distr.

Octopus Deploy also offers deep Argo CD integration (after they acquired Codefresh). On the other hand, Distr is completely open source and can be self-hosted if desired.

If you’re interested in specific features, I’m happy to go into more detail.

the account still runs and I won't be homeless as my salary and rent auto-payments

Luckily in most European countries renters are protected and they cannot just kick you out of your home for missing one rent payment (IANAL, but in NL it requires 3 months of no pay and a judge has to approve). Most likely they wouldn't approve if you missed a payment because you were locked out of your banking account.

I only trust studded tiers (but i live close to a non-paved road that is always very icy during the end of the season).

But that said - there are lots of research that points towards that studded tires kill more people than they save lives because of the asphalt particles they cause.

But then there are people that claim that non-studded cars rely on at least 10% cars with studded tires to make the surface more rugged/rough.

Anyway, down the rabbit hole.

> Brakes

Maybe at 1/10 the schedule of ICE vehicles, at least for me. I use regenerative braking almost exclusively (probably 95+% of the time).

> coolant

Yes, I did forget about that one. But frequency is about 50% less often than ICE vehicles. Maybe once every 5-10 years.

> washer fluid, cabin air filter, wiper blades

Agreed on these as well, but I bucketed these in the trivial category, totaling less than a tank of gas once every 6-12 months, and all DIY things that you don’t need to take to a service center for.

At the end of the day, I only care about things I need to take it to the shop for. Which means I only need to take it in for a no-questions-asked tire rotation 1-2 times a year, and new tires every 4-5 years. Everything else I can easily do at home.

> diff oil, gearbox oil

These are the same thing, but you’re correct. But it’s infrequent (maybe once or twice over the life, and around $150.

> Did you know EV motors can also require oil changes

Ummm… what? Now you lost me. What EVs need oil?

Honestly, this looks like the only LLM summary use case that sounds remotely useful for me. My only gripe, after looking for the cached example, is how verbose it is.

I would prefer just a one-sentence summary of what it is and one-line header explanations for comment topics to point me to the right place in the discussion.

In general, in my opinion, this is more useful as a navigation aid to help me quickly judge whether the discussion is interesting than as a replacement for the original text. But it could be way too out of scope for this tool. (I wish something like that existed for scientific peer-review journals...).

You first quote reads: "You, the end user, get a notification that a party (probably the porn website you visited) wants to request your age and you, the USER, get the identity of the website (not vice versa).

As for the second quote: Yes sure, you credentials need to be signed by a trusted authority, someone has to establish you are an adult. But it is a cryptographic signature. Same as https certificate needs to be signed by a third party vs. self-signed certificates.

As a European (dutch), why are our roads so small, that normal sized cars look like "monsters". I have often thought, that Europe will have a problem in the future with roads, as they are just too small, and expanding and making them more safe, is unlikely to ever happen and often times impossible. Not everyone can get by with a small little hatchback, some of us need a big pickup (I own a building company). And for the people that do not need it from a commercial point of view, have you ever considered that people have hobbies and some hobbies needs a fair amount of space in a car? Or families with multiple kids doing sport need the space for all the gear?
I am worried that in the future, more and more european cities will just address the problem with a disguised "we are making the cities car free, and thus greener and safer". What that means for the average citizen out there is, that any building related work, will just become more expensive, as people will just charge more to get over the hassle of getting into the cities then.

Windows 98 too with IE remover where you could decouple it from the shell andd use Win95's shell on top. Yeah, libre software solved it with ease today with Classic Shell and back in the day under any Unix/GNU/BSD with FVWM+RXvt against boated DE's or environments (maybe people won't know, but FVWM despite its features and look it was actually lighter than TWM) did the same surprise to me. Cycles mattered even under an Athlon, and as I loved emulation every non related cycle for MAME, PCSX and some new emulators was a waste on resources.
Ditto for multimedia and games.

Oh, and sometimes MPlayer can still be faster than MPV with legacy machines. And the same happens with some Mplayer ports (or MPCHC which should borrow lots of code) against WMP or VLC itself.

> are they in fact making money overall on youtube?

if they weren't, won't it make sense to drop it? So by empirical observation of the outcome, it seems like youtube produces enough value to google that it is worth the investment!

Now if you ask whether youtube is financially net-positive; ala, if youtube were to be spun off as an individual/separate entity without being owned by google, then that's another question altogether. I have doubts it is financially net-positive without the leverage that google provides in utilizing youtube's assets.

Git had already replaced perforce and svn most everywhere I'd seen, before GitHub came along. CVS was still horrible and in a lot, though.

I mean, git was '05 and GitHub was '08, so not like the stats will say much one way or another.
StackOverflow only added it their survey in 2015. No source of truth, only anecdotes.

I feel positive about it. I always want my code to be perfect, and now I can get much closer to that. I can review and nitpick the hell out of it and get it to fix things. I can spend time on elegance and architecture.

I am concerned though that the younger crowd will churn out slop and we’ll race to the bottom. Already i notice software qualify tanking - even Anthopic’s products are super buggy - kinda like going to mass produced cheap consumer products that are much lower quality than their predecessors. Yes, you can choose quality, but most humans are intellectually incapable of seeing beyond price (that’s a psychological fact, not a moan - don’t have references to hand though).

It is weird to see the end of my profession and to be the unlucky ones to suffer it. The answer is to absolutely engage with AI in every way. For some the answer is also to become expert in building it, analogous to machine tool work in the Industrial Revolution.

So long as the amount of software output rises accordingly, we will still have jobs. But we need to reskill.

Yeah, it was interesting to see some above-ground-to-the-premises power delivery in some of the smaller Norwegian villages above the arctic circle. Things looked rather robust, though.

I lived in the Oklahoma and in Minnesota, and the difference there is already stark:

* OK suffered from plenty of storm-induced winter power outages (massive freezing rain cycles were common in my life). My mother's cotton bath robe, which she kept using until late in her life, had burn marks from when she reached for something over a lit candle during a power outage when I was four years old.

* MN suffers some, but people knew to develop meaningful contingency plans.

Both states have variegated buried-power-to-the-premises usage. It's not really to be expected as the norm in either place, but MN has far more than OK (funnily enough I grew up in a place in OK with it). Either way, the infrastructure robustness in North America looks like it arose from a dismal cost-benefit analysis versus a societal welfare consideration.

I left North America about 14 years ago for Europe. The difference is stark. We've only had one significant power interruption in that time (not even in winter); whereas stochastic neighborhood outages were commonplace in North America. What really freaks me out about the situation in North America is just the poor insulation of the structures and their low thermal mass. They will get cold fast.

Aside: A lot of friends and family in North America balked at the idea of getting a heat pump due to performance during a power outage: "when the power goes out, I can still run my gas." When I asked them whether the house was heated with forced air or used an electronic thermostatic switches, the snarky smile turned to a grimace.

When you live in a cold place, you learn to do things differently. You're naive if you don't pack warm blankets and water in your vehicle, for instance. You never know when you might find yourself stranded somewhere due to vehicular breakdown …

I prefer to isolate my development environment already in various ways (virtualenv, containers or VM depending on the project) so I don't need that parts of NixOS. My systems are already run on a well-curated set of software. Two decades allowed me to fine tune that aspect pretty well.

While I understand the gravitas of NixOS, that modus operandi just is not for me. I'm happy and fine with my traditional way.

However, as I said, I understand and respect who use NixOS. I just don't share the same perspective and ideas. Hope it never breaks on you.

I agree with the fact that fiction isn't prophetic, but it can definitely be a societal-wide warning shot. On a personal level, it's not that far-fetched to read a piece of fiction that challenges one's perception on many levels, and as a result changes the behavior of the person itself.

Fiction should not be trivialized and shun because it's fiction, and should be judged by its contents and message. To paraphrase a video game quote from Metaphor; Re-Fantazio: "Fantasy is not just fiction".

Choosing to not have children appears to "swim against the current" of the dominant biological process/context by which one came to be and in which one exists.

Certainly not having children allows one more time to pursue other matters. Mankind in general might gain (or lose) from such behavior, depending on whether one is an Einstein or a Stalin for example. Most anyone who participates in society has some set of interests and, while not specifically a genetic contribution/harm, pursuit of those interests is nonetheless very real and the results may dominate our perspective.

It might be difficult (some would say impossible) to judge whether a person contributes more through his/her work or through his/her children. All the more b/c history is "unfinished business".

I hate to sound like a broken record. But I consider my skillset at 51 all of the things I said that involve getting from signed contract to happy customer at the end. I’m actually slowly working on moving even further up and becoming halfway competent at pre-sales.

You cdn substitute customer for “the business”.

When you step back “the code” is the smallest part. Once I learned how to take a holistic view of the entire system - I specialize in AWS architecture + app dev - including how to deal with people.

In enterprise dev - no one cares about the code - they care about functionality. They never cared about the code. In large tech companies they have to care about the code.

Where I live (pacific northwest), it's not snow that's the problem, but windstorms. Presumably knocking over trees, which in turn takes down power lines - which of course implies said trees are tall, in proximity to the power lines, and not cut down. I maybe average 24 hours of outage per year (frequently less, but occasionally spiking to a multi-day outage.)

I don't think that's something that can be solved with just "build quality"... but it presumably could be solved through "maintainence" (cutting down or trimming trees, although that requires identifying the problem, permissions, a willingness to have decreased tree coverage, etc.)
Show HN: Qrono – A "final" date/time library for JavaScript
by urin | 2026-02-11 07:56:22+00:00
I built Qrono as a practical default so you can stop debating date/time libraries.

- Minimal bundle size (3.5 kB for 100+ APIs; detailed comparison in the docs)
- UTC-first, but timezone & DST aware (a gap in other libraries)
- Type-safe, immutable, and chainable by design

Docs: https://qronojs.dev/

I mean ASI could just generate the pixels of a webpage at 60hz. And who needs cookies if ASI knows who you are after seeing half a frame of the dust on your wall, and then knows all the pixels and all the clicks across all your interactions with its surfaces. And who needs webpages when ASI can conjure anything on a screen and its robots and drones can deliver any earthly desire at the cost of its inputs. That is if we’re not all made into paper clips or dead fighting for control of the ASML guild at that point.

I say all that mostly in jest, but to take your point somewhat seriously: the most accurate thing you’ve said is that no one is ready for super intelligence. What a great and terrible paroxysm it would be.

> Maybe at 1/10 the schedule of ICE vehicles, at least for me. I use regenerative braking almost exclusively (probably 95+% of the time).

In practice, my brakes always corrode from road salt and fuel-efficient driving habits and need replacing long before I actually wear them down, so regen brakes are largely irrelevant to brake life.

> Which means I only need to take it in for a no-questions-asked tire rotation 1-2 times a year, and new tires every 4-5 years. Everything else I can easily do at home.

So that sounds... basically the same as my ICE. Two shop visits per year for tire changes, one oil change per year at the same time as one of the tire changes.

I really like the jig analogy. But that the software jig is no different from production software, I don't buy. Saying that the bytes are the same, is like saying that the atoms of a jig is the same as the atoms in the final product.

GenAI generally makes software cheaper. But there is a huge difference in how much. Prototypes and jigs may be 90% cheaper (just making up numbers here), while for production software it may be closer to 10%.
by delis-thumbs-7e | 2026-02-11 07:57:14+00:00
I suspect it is because snow storms are fairly rare or at least random and quite a few people do not a) realise they have not done much of any physical exercise for ages b) think shoveling snow is easy, try to do it fast and take too big loads into shovel (which you can with snow, but not with sand). For older people this might mean overexertion and possible seizure, if their cardiovascular health is not well either.

Solution: don’t be a hero. Take breaks. Take smaller shovelfuls. If the first ten shovelfuls are hard, how hard is the 1000th going to be? I live in Finland, are fairly fit and quite strong, but shoveling the car out of thick snow for half an hour is pretty hard work for me. For an older person, it must be double as hard.

Exciting. I'm already committing plans and designs alongside my PRs on personal projects - the same plans that ultimately instruct agents to break down tasks and implement the code I'm committing. These feels like useful enough artifacts to check in and instruct agents to look at later in some instances. However, these artifacts come from thrashing through a lot of context windows and course-correcting. Decision logs are useful, stale state machine diagrams et al are not. I think there's definitely something here, but I do wonder what shape we'll eventually converge on for what's useful to agents later vs junk that will bloat context windows and send agents into confused thinking loops.

Can people stop flagging dham's comment when they simply disagree?

FWIW, I think what you're saying here and in another comment, about this burning a century of good will, is true.

People turn it into a liberal vs right partisan issue, but that's a convenient simplification.

The people protesting the lockdowns, mandatory vaccination, ID checks everywhere were not politically homogenous: if you looked at who was vocal about it, there were people on the right, but the other half were wokes, hippies, liberals, leftists, socialists, antifascists.

What burned goodwill is the authoritarian measures, the weak arguments, the demonisation of those against it for political gain and status (Trudeau and Biden would routinely accuse those opposed to mandatory vaccination and lockdowns of various -isms in public speeches).

The pandemic was indeed a major public health issue, but the way this was managed made it about a fight against the erosion of rights and societal polarisation.

Rural areas are much more common in the US than in other countries and much more likely to lose power in a storm, due to the long lengths of power line needed and the lack of redundancy from being too sparse to have multiple feed-ins to the local substation.

It's not the cold that knocks out power, it's the wet and saturated ground and high winds knocking trees into the power lines.

Right you are Ken, but the format pretty much is his schtick. It’s not that entertaining at all anymore, but it’s also decent to know that a review will probably exist for most cars I’m ever considering.

For me his value remains mainly that he’s tall which I am too, so when he’s in a car I can guess what it’ll be like for me.

Vehicle age != ownership duration. The used car market is thriving and aftermarket warranties are a huge part of this.

I also clearly mentioned maintenance in my post - you chose to quote the sentence before it, leaving it out and then respond as if I hadn’t.

Please don’t engage me with this kind of dishonest conversation. It’s a waste of both our time.

There are lots of restaurants in the US these days that charge 3% for use of any credit card. One that I've been even has a sign posted at the entrance about it, that it's legal to do so. Must have gotten a lot of complaints that it was somehow illegal, or perhaps against card processing rules. Because it's one thing to post a sign that says you charge the fee, it's another for that sign to mention the legality of it.
