Hey creator here! I have responded on this thread a lot and you can read them but essentially it runs in github actions (you can even read the index.html which has what the api query is, and someone supposed it to be security issue but that's fine as well)

If "this person" refers to me. I would love to say the following my friend :-

The idea is that it runs on github actions and the api behind it is actually play.clickhouse.com which I suppose shouldn't have the reasons to do linking or any such tasks given that well they are a company making database (not affiliated)

I really don't even know how many people have used the website. There's no statistic. zero nada.

Hope this helps :D Your alt accounts are safe don't worry!

Have a nice day! (Yes still written by human & always will be, even the Have a nice day line which I write/wrote in almost every comment but I truly want everyone to genuinely have a nice day haha, I think Have a nice day is essentially my personal tagline now :D)

>If half doesn’t make you leader what does?

A leader would be significantly more than half, which Apple definitely is not. Co-leader? Maybe. But Apple will likely be losing market share in mobile because inflation is rampant and made worse by AI eating up all the RAM and chip suppliers, and Apple's products are already too expensive and will only get more expensive and out of reach of most consumers. Apple is a "luxury brand", and most average people can't justify luxury purchases anymore.

>On mobile devices, Apple is 1st, having double market share compared to 2nd place (samsung).

>It’s funny that for PC’s you went for manufacturers

I never mentioned specific hardware manufacturers - only you did to move the goalpost. So don't lie and suggest I did that, because I did not. Manufacturers are irrelevant, since Apple won't let anyone run their OSs on any other hardware. You're trying to move goalposts to support your fanboyism.

Android crushes iOS. Windows crushes MacOS. Those are facts.

>The need to paint Apple as purely a marketing company always fascinated me.

I also never mentioned marketing. Are you a hallucinating AI?

"I’ve had a running list for most of the past year—things I want to get better at, projects I want to finish, skills I want to develop. At various points there have been four or five items on it, all getting some portion of my week. I’d rotate between them, make a little progress on each, and feel like I was being productive."

"Then I think about the stretches where I did produce something I was proud of, and they all have the same shape. I’d gotten slightly obsessed with one thing. Not in a dramatic way—I just stopped splitting my attention."

Honestly, a great reminder of how to get things done when you have seven work priorities...

Reminds me of how we got scarred by "parse.com" -- it was also a promising database, and our customer insisted on it, but after lengthy development and just before our project release turned out that they are shutting down and noone works on it anymore. Like literally their support said "uhm sorry folks, we're all hired by Facebook, no one is working on parse.com anymore".

Believing in free speech is neither left nor right, it's on the freedom/authority axis which is perpendicular. Most people on the left never advocated to legalize libel, defamation, racist campaigns, although the minority that did still do today.

The "free-speechism" of the past you mention was about speaking truth to power, and this movement still exists on the left today, see for example support for Julian Assange, arrested journalists in France or Turkey, or outright murdered in Palestine.

When Elon Musk took over Twitter and promised free speech, he very soon actually banned accounts he disagreed with, especially leftists. Why free speech may be more and more perceived as right wing is because despite having outright criminal speech with criminal consequences (such as inciting violence against harmless individuals such as Mark Bray), billionaires have weaponized propaganda on a scale never seen before with their ownership of all the major media outlets and social media platforms, arguing it's a matter of free speech.

> Can I ask what the product was?

Software for teachers. Teachers tend to talk to each other, which is great for distribution. On the other hand, they have very little spending power. But back on the other hand again, they don't get as many cold emails as execs do.

> Research we’ve seen shows execs still spend 6+ hours per week on scheduling.

Be very careful not to delude yourself here. No one is spending 6+ hours a week on scheduling who is willing to use your tool. That's almost a full workday. If you are at this point, you probably have a human assistant who handles this.

> Would you be bothered if you were on our 23/mo plan and still had a banner there?

Probably not. But if i were, i'd probably just upgrade to a higher plan.

I don't think that's right. Not saying that to argue, more to discuss this because it's fun to think about.

In any event, wouldn't you have to either buffer or use flow-control to pause receiving while a CR was being processed? You wouldn't want to start printing the next line's characters in reverse while the carriage was going back to the beginning.

My suspicion is there was a committee that was more bent on purity than practicality that day, and they were opposed to the idea of having CR for "go to column 0" and newline for "go to column 0 and also advance the paper", even though it seems extremely unlikely you'd ever want "advance the paper without going to column 0" (which you could still emulate it with newline + tab or newline + 43 spaces for those exceptional cases).

The thing is, even when parsing html "correctly" (whatever that is) regexes will still be used. Sure, There will be a bunch of additional structures and mechanisms involved, but you will be identifying tokens via a bunch of regexes.

So yes, while it is an inspired comidic genius of a rant, and sort of informative in that it opens your eyes to the limitations of regexes, it sort of brushes under the rug all the places that those poor maligned regular expressions will be used when parsing html.

I took a look at the "top-rated" story.

1. UI is terrible. Paragraphs are extremely far apart, and most paragraphs are 1 short sentence (e.g. "I glare."). On mobile, I can only see a few words at a time, and desktop's not much better.

2. Story is so bad that it's not even amusing.
Show HN: Localflare – Local Dev Dashboard for Cloudflare Workers(D1, KV, R2 etc.
by rohanpdofficial | 2026-02-03 18:51:12+00:00
I built Localflare because developing with Cloudflare Workers locally felt blind – you couldn't see what was actually in your D1 databases, KV stores, or R2 buckets during development.

Just run `npx localflare` in any Workers project and get a full dashboard with:

- D1 Studio: SQL editor, inline editing, filtering, dummy data generation (Faker.js)
- KV Browser: View/edit key-value pairs
- R2 File Manager: Upload/download objects
- Queue Inspector: Send test messages
- Durable Objects: View instance state

The interesting technical bit: it uses a sidecar architecture that injects an API worker alongside yours in the same wrangler process. Both workers share the exact same binding instances – no mocks, real data. Your code stays completely untouched.

Zero config. Works with any framework (Hono, Remix, Astro, OpenNext, Nuxt). Just needs wrangler.toml.

Would love feedback, especially on what bindings or features you'd want next.

Zoom and Teams are both proprietary software, I doubt any available forks exist, or could exist, for use outside of corporation where they are developed.

I’m guessing they will probably use something built on top of Matrix which is an open protocol maintained by a Community Interest Corporation (CIC) in the UK.

https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/30/france_matrix/

I’m less sure what they will use for video conferencing, but they could do worse then something built on top of WebRTC, which is also an open protocol maintained by W3C, an international standards organization with location in 4 countries (including France and USA).

I got this running locally using llama.cpp from Homebrew and the Unsloth quantized model like this:

brew upgrade llama.cpp # or brew install if you don't have it yet

Then:

llama-cli \
-hf unsloth/Qwen3-Coder-Next-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL \
--fit on \
--seed 3407 \
--temp 1.0 \
--top-p 0.95 \
--min-p 0.01 \
--top-k 40 \
--jinja

That opened a CLI interface. For a web UI on port 8080 along with an OpenAI chat completions compatible endpoint do this:

llama-server \
-hf unsloth/Qwen3-Coder-Next-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL \
--fit on \
--seed 3407 \
--temp 1.0 \
--top-p 0.95 \
--min-p 0.01 \
--top-k 40 \
--jinja

It's using about 28GB of RAM.

Right, I specifically called out that I agree with you on that. They aren't cheap. But then most places around here charge $50 or even $150 per month per parking space so it's not like the spots are being given away either.

> you are correct that sub-basements, at least in the USA, wouldn’t have been used for living space anyways.

That isn't what I said. I claimed that the amount of space dedicated to parking, if converted to housing, would not meaningfully reduce the housing shortage. It's a simple numbers game. The shortage is far larger than all of the current parking combined. We badly need to build much farther upwards but it is not permitted to anywhere near the extent necessary.

Another way of looking at it is to ask, if every unit of housing in a major city added additional square footage equal to a single car, would that make or break the market? Even at the scale of the entire market it would still be well under 10%, probably under 5%. The typical apartment in the US is definitely larger than a 5x2 grid of parking spaces. Meanwhile most HCoL cities could do with double the housing inventory at absolute minimum. Probably substantially more.

This is the same problem with reducing setbacks. Unscrupulous developers keep lobbying for that (and often getting it). We don't need to reduce buffer space. A few extra feet around the perimeter of a lot is nothing compared to doubling (or 3x, or 5x, or ...) the height.

We are suffocating under our own political dysfunction.

I put in £3 worth of fuel the other day but that's because it was a rental car that I had to return with the same fuel level as at pickup and I'd only done ~30 miles with lots of stop/start. (I would have used a Zipcar/Zipvan but they've all gone now.) I would have tried to put in less but UK fuel pumps usually mandate a minimum of 2 litres which is not far off £3 at current prices.

How extensively do you use it? When my team was just using it for meetings and the attached chats, it did actually work completely fine. When broader orgs started pushing more communications through it (the "teams" in teams, and all the weird chat room/forums that entails) all of the rough edges became very apparent. All of that is just a shockingly disorganized mess.

True, but you can still do a confused deputy attack. The fraudster hires a property manager, informs them that they would like to remove the sign because they wish the list the property for sale. Either that or they con a realtor they're working with into doing it. The unknowing realtor, eager for the commission, knows a guy who can take it down.

That's not true. For instance in the field of video pipelines ffmpeg is the standard, and was started by an European (French) person. Runs on Linux of course, that ..., and so forth. Do you really believe in Europe there is no the tech capability to recreate the tech stack? This is an extremely naive way to put it. US tech is much more developed because of money infusion even on companies that take 10/20 years to get productive. It was the right call, by the US, to put things in this way, but the European disadvantage is not for technical merits.

MoEs can be efficiently split between dense weights (attention/KV/etc) and sparse (MoE) weights. By running the dense weights on the GPU and offloading the sparse weights to slower CPU RAM, you can still get surprisingly decent performance out of a lot of MoEs.

Not as good as running the entire thing on the GPU, of course.

Hi, it is hand-coded assembly. Pushing all necessary registers to the stack (including GS on Windows), swapping the stack pointer to/from memory, popping the registers, and off we go on the other stack. I save FPU flags, but not more FPU state than necessary (which again is a whole lot more on Windows than on Linux).

Others have done this elsewhere, of course. There are links/references to several other examples in the code. I mention two in particular in the NOTICE file, not because I copied their code, but because I read it very closely and followed the outline of their examples. It would probably taken me forever to figure out the Windows TIB on my own.

What I think is pretty cool (biased as I am) in my implementation is the «trampoline» that launches the coroutine function and waits silently in case it returns. If it does, it is intercepted and the proper coroutine exit() function gets called.

I feel like I'm not even speaking english on this thread. I've said MANY times that project owners owe nothing to anyone, period. You don't owe anything. Ignore the PRs, send them to your junk folder. I don't care.

That has nothing to do with this discussion.

People have a right to propose changes to broken things they use. Your right to ignore them and not provide support is a two-way street. Others also have a right to ignore what you want and propose changes for other users to see.

it's right there is name of the feature "Pull Request", it's a request, not a demand.

If you were operating a non-profit business in person, you can't get mad at people suggesting changes either. You can ignore them for sure, you can pull up some disclaimer or whatever. But it's hostile and mean to prevent people from even stating their opinions and proposing a change.

At that point, make your project private.

You don't owe the public many things, but when you create a project and make it public on a shared hosting site, other users also have rights to make commentary, since you've exposed it as public, and proposals and to assist each other. I'd even go further to say that this counts as intentional interference with users' attempt to fix vulnerable and buggy code, and as such an intentional attempt to harm the public. It's one thing to not guarantee anything about your software, it's another thing to prevent people from trying to fix it.

It’s not why your big corp chooses teams and the msft suite. From a corp perspective they don’t care about your edge case. There’s only - is it good for 90% of my use cases across the enterprise? And - do I get a bundle discount? Last but not the least - do I need to expend developer resources on it vs anything else?

Yeah, there is half assed stuff. But it’s not what most of the big corp uses anyway. So your little dev specific use case isn’t going to get much traction.

Teams does one thing well. It can do group chats and team calls. That’s most of what people use it for. And your corp gets a discount bundle.

Access is one of my concerns with coding agents - on the one hand I think they make coding much more accessible to people who aren't developers - on the other hand this access is managed by commercial entities and can be suspended for any reason.

I can also imagine a dysfunctional future where a developers spend half their time convincing their AI agents that the software they're writing is actually aligned with the model's set of values

Show HN: I built an automated decision layer for form requests
by lukapg | 2026-02-03 18:53:40+00:00
Hi everyone,

I worked on several teams where we had to deal with a high intake of support requests, bug reports and feedback from users. What usually happens is that those messages come through a same form. Even if you created a form field to let the user select the type of request he's making, it still won't capture the priority and the sentiment of the user, and someone needs to manually go through submissions and assess and classify the messages.

What I've built is a form backend that acts as a request layer allowing users to classify incoming submissions by:

priority (critical, high, medium, low)

type (support, feedback, review, sales, other)

sentiment (positive, negative, neutral)

categories (matches one of users custom categories)

After the classification is done, users can define rules for how each submission is processed dynamically. For example, all critical support issues with a negative sentiment are stored and sent to a Slack channel #support. There are various action types a user can create within these rules and they can be chained.

This is not a workflow engine or Zapier. This sits before tools like Zapier, ticketing systems, or inboxes. Think of it as a smarter intake layer rather than a workflow engine. Those tools trigger after you’ve already received messy, unclear input.

Happy to receive any feedback or answer any questions!

I built ExplainOnce to solve a real problem: communication is messy, scattered, and hard to reuse. E1 lets creators, teams, and businesses share instructions in a structured, universal format. No accounts, no clutter, just clarity. Say it once, share it everywhere. I’m the founder and built it from scratch using Emergent. Would love feedback from anyone who values clean communication or wants to see a new protocol take shape.

Europe's main strategy these days seems to be blaming others instead of looking at themselves.

For example, they blame America for their own issue of lacking tech companies, despite Europe taking credit for having fewer work hours, more 'equitable' societies, etc.

They blame China for their own issue of lacking domestic manufacturing, despite their pride at having strong unions, supposedly good labor protections, and vacations.

They blame India for the bogey of 'buying Russian oil', instead of blaming themselves for being the LARGEST purchaser of refined oil products from India. As if India, one of the hottest countries on the planet, actually needs heating oil.

At this point, which country / region does Europe not blame? It's always someone else's fault. No one even thinks to look inside themselves.

That looks really cool! I've been looking for a more thought-out approach to hooks on JJ, I'll dig into this. Do you have any other higher level architecture/overview documentation other than what is in that repo? It has a sense of "you should already know what this does" from the documentation as is.

Also, how do you like Radicle?

Oh wow how did I not know it was state owned! The article keeps referring to "sovereign tech" which I assumed meant sovereign tech companies. I'm all for hating on teams (and sharepoint) but a state owned tech company sounds like an apocalyptically bad idea, and since it's state owned it can't really migrate to other industries/countries, and they likely won't update as quickly as they should as new technologies come around. I get the sharepoint/teams hate but I'm surprised a startup form isn't making more fun of France for this
by iainmerrick | 2026-02-03 18:55:06+00:00
To clarify, the bit where I think the bitter lesson applies is trying to standardize the directory names, the permitted headings and paragraph lengths, etc. It's pointless bikeshedding.

Making your docs nice and modular, and having a high-level overview that tells you where to find more detailed info on specific topics, is definitely a good idea. We already know that when we're writing docs for human readers. The LLMs are already trained on a big corpus written by and for humans. There's no compelling reason why we need to do anything radically different to help them out. To the contrary, it's better not to do anything radically different, so that new LLM-assisted code and docs can be accessible to humans too.

Well-written docs already play nicely with LLM context.
Show HN: Slidev and marimo – Interactive Python in Markdown slides
by lucharo | 2026-02-03 18:56:05+00:00
Demo: https://lucharo.github.io/slidev-marimo/
Repo: https://github.com/lucharo/slidev-marimo

Slidev add-on that embeds Marimo Islands into slides. Cells are just ```marimo code fences in your Markdown. Runs fully client-side via Pyodide/WASM and also host on a static site.

Had to bridge Marimo's React components with Slidev's Vue — the add-on handles the hydration, HMR and state management between the two. Claude + Opus 4.5 helped a lot!

I also have a version on a live kernel mode that connects to a running Marimo session instead of Pyodide so you can work on a notebook and then present your results on a slide directly, it's almost there!

I'd like to think that this is going to be very useful for educators, doing demos of a package, or for ML and data science presentations where you've done some heavy work on a notebook and then you want to present to some stakeholders on some slides — the latter is the use case that I have for it.
