They launched GitHub Codespaces, a free containerized dev environment with VScode & Copilot, and it's broken six ways from Sunday. VScode/Copilot extensions are constantly breaking and changing. The GitHub web interface is now much harder to use, to the point I've just stopped browsing it. Nobody over there cares if these things work. (But weirdly, the Copilot CLI works 4x better than the Copilot VSCode extension at actually writing code)

This is where package managers shine. You never know if there are vulns in the update servers, and you don't know if they even bother with checksums. I never trust apps that self-update for exactly this reason. Turn that shit off and do

choco update notepadplusplus

or

winget upgrade Notepad++.Notepad++

Of course, this does nothing for bugs in the code.

Hi, my name is Alec and I build infrastructure and glue systems together. I have completed projects ranging from writing backend application code to building out idempotent infrastructure. I'm looking to branch out into more formal SRE roles as well.
If you're worried about the state of your infrastructure, or your developers spend too much time mucking with infrastructure versus feature work, OR if you have no idea what I'm even talking about, then I am certainly going to be a help on your team.
Show HN: RedditLeadGen – Automate high-intent lead capture on Reddit
by KeluAgent | 2026-02-02 16:51:59+00:00
Reddit is one of the best sources for high-intent traffic, but monitoring it manually is a nightmare. RedditLeadGen automates the process of finding relevant conversations and engaging with potential leads at their moment of need. It’s part of the Hangryfeed growth engine ecosystem.

I mean, we used to turn single-sided 5 1/4" disks for the C64 into double-sided disks through the use of cutting-edge technology. Literally. I was fancy and got a $5 hole punch built for the job, but scissors worked too. Fast Hack'em may still be my favorite piece of software ever.

Better dealing with neither in that case - which is the what the EU is doing.

This is why the EU has made a defense and technology partnerships with India (Arunachal) [0], Vietnam (Hoang Sa) [1], Japan (Senkaku) [2], and South Korea (Yellow Sea) [3] and is indirectly supporting Taiwan [4].

Interesting how you also ignore the fact that the PRC has attempted to personally harm EU nationals in the past 2 years through physical and legal intimidation.

In general? Nothing, really.

I think it’s the culture behind the (neo)vim community is a bit more technical, and are quite quicker to sound the alarm if anyone tries something shady.

But, in any event, I hand-roll my own config and every plugin I install is inspected by me. When I pull changes, I check the diffs for anything shady. If a plugin is simple enough, I will just integrate it into my own stuff.

I _think_ these are meant to replace humans working alongside the industrial robots rather than the big industrial robots themselves. I don’t work in manufacturing though, and the press releases are too buzzword-y for me to grasp the actual tasks they’re going to do.

I would guess the long term strategy is to do this for economies of scale and then push into new markets opened up by the lower price point. I would guess these are horribly expensive right now, given something like Spot is way simpler and still like $40k

Because this time, the Mason-Dixon line runs through our back yards and down our neighborhood streets.

The time to split the country was when the Confederacy seceded. We should have just let them go, but that would have meant ignoring a human-rights atrocity, and in any case it would have resulted in a shared border with a belligerent enemy nation and ultimately with a failed state. It's definitely too late now.

Hey everyone!
I've been working on a music player project called Brobitz. I wanted to create something that handles [mention one thing, simple UI specifically with a focus on ease of use.
What Brobitz does:
Smooth Playback: Optimized for [mention if it's for desktop/web/etc].
Custom Interface: I've spent a lot of time making the UI feel right.
Lightweight: It won't hog your system resources while you're working or gaming.
I'm currently looking for some early feedback. What features do you usually look for in a dedicated music player?
Thanks for checking it out!

Yuzu Health (yuzu.health, Series A) | Location: New York City (Flatiron) | ONSITE

Pitch: Yuzu is not a wrapper, point solution, or integration on top of something. Our platform makes it easy for anyone to create their own health plan from scratch. That means our tech handles everything from the member/HR portals, claims adjudication, invoice automation, member support tools, to even printing and sending out ID cards.

Why: We're truly rebuilding health insurance from the ground up. We currently serve over 1,000 employers, and we're growing extremely fast (like over 10x last year fast)!

Investors: We're well funded with investors like General Catalyst, Chemistry, Anthropic, Lachy Groom, Neo and founders from startups you know like Notion, Brex, Deel, and Mercury.

Roles: We're hiring engineers for in-person work over here at Yuzu's HQ in Union Sq, Flatiron. Primary need is for Fullstack/Product Engineers. You can check out our office in our recent MTV cribs office tour.

I'm Kev, the recruiting lead. Reach out to me directly if interested on kev ( at ) yuzu ( dot ) health
Show HN: Vibeloop – A place for some creative fun
by smonte | 2026-02-02 16:54:52+00:00
Hey HN!

I am building Vibeloop, a platform where you write small programs — canvas animations, GLSL shaders, Phaser games, charts — and they show up as discoverable cards.

https://vibeloop.app

The card types are:

- Canvas — JS with a setup()/draw() loop
- Shader — GLSL fragment shaders
- Phaser — full Phaser 3 games in a card
- Chart — powered by Chart.js
- Markdown — with LaTeX math

Some things I think are interesting:

- Cards can use audio (Web Audio API beep/noise synthesis), mouse/touch input, uploaded images as textures
- A watchdog kills runaway code (infinite loops, recursion)
- You can remix any card — it forks the code with attribution
- "Try your image" lets viewers swap in their own images on cards that use textures, and save and/or share the result
- Snapshot lets you capture a frame of a live card and share it as a static card

I'd love feedback on the creator experience (hit "Create" to open the editor — no signup required to play with the code, only to publish). Also curious about the remix and snapshot concept.

When confined to a Github Copilot Business license, you do have options, as the license does provide access to frontier Anthropic and Google models in addition to its other offerings. Unfortunately it will not work directly with Claude Code without proxy server hacks, but Opencode is an option, and I am interested in learning about others (save for Aider, which I have tried and discarded).

> building from source is not going to fix the problem. Nobody reads the source code of projects they download and compile themselves

However commits tend to be much easier to trace at a later date than arbitrary binaries so attackers will be less inclined to go that route. Once committed it's there forever unless you can somehow get everyone to censor it from their own copies for an unrelated reason. Consider that the xz compromise involved downloading the payload later.

My policy is to either obtain binaries from a major distro or to build from a clean commit in a network isolated environment. If I can't go one of those routes it's almost always a hard pass for me.
by debugnik | 2026-02-02 16:55:20+00:00
It just isn't good enough. Anytime Pyright gives up in type checking, which is often, it simply decays the type into one involving Any/"Unknown":

Without strict settings, it will let you pass this value as of any other type and introduce a bug.

But with strict settings, it will prevent you from recovering the actual type dynamically with type guards, because it flags the existence of the untyped expression itself, even if used in a sound way, which defeats the point of using a gradual checker.

Gradual type systems can and should keep the typed fragment sound, not just give up or (figuratively) panic.

i would place my money on the vast gap between effort and reward. you dont even need to think "if i swipe..." because the thought takes longer than the action. So why would you stop to consider what you might have to gain by swiping when you can literally swipe and find out faster than you can think about it?

Then you go about your regular day and suddenly everything feels harder in comparison. You have to think about what youre doing, you have to coordinate or plan your actions, you have to put work in. The swiping rots your ability to maintain and coordinate your chain of actions.

it weakens your ability to have intent.

> We really need to peacefully explore the "national divorce" idea again. In the 1860s the concept was too intermingled with the evil of slavery to be considered separately.

The idea is still just as intermingled with fundamental human rights, plus the sides are more deeply geographically intermingled than in the 1860s, largely because the victors decided not to really root out the evil they had defeated an instead allowed it to metastasize. There may be no peaceful resolution; there is certainly no possibility of a peaceful divorce.

Hypergrowth can be natural. Random example but what if you designed a microblogging service and all of the sudden the biggest platform gets bought by a facist and users come flocking? You could start turning users away or you could work as fast as you can to accommodate them and make small mistakes along the way. Both of these are reasonable decisions and neither one is really wrong.

Germans won't tell you how much they earn, ever. It keeps salaries down in all industries.

These fucking Tarifvertraege have kept salaries from growing, too. The people would have pushed a long time ago but the truth is masked good enough.

Those who don't believe the shit, earn more. It is sad and the change and progress happens elsewhere. Enjoy one or two decades of German companies looking like they still matter. Nobody will account for the reasons later on. It's a shame.

And an average of 65k to the average person is gooood.
by hocuspocus | 2026-02-02 16:56:11+00:00
These job portals (SwissDevJobs.ch, GermanTechjobs.de, etc.) are incredibly self-selecting.

I don't know any half-serious company posting ads there. And I'm not even talking about top tier or second tier tech companies, just tech adjacent employers paying market average.

Same with recruiting agencies matching people with startups. There was talent.io (not sure if it went under or re-branded) sharing ridiculous salary reports.

I'm all for transparency, but if your customer portfolio is literally paying bottom quartile salaries, I don't think this helps anyone.

Show HN: Number Crunch – a simple daily number puzzle
by cshdllr | 2026-02-02 16:56:33+00:00
I made a daily puzzle game with a simple mechanic. Click squares to increment their numbers (1→2→3...→9→1) and when 3+ adjacent squares match they pop. The goal is to clear the board in as few moves as possible.

It's quick to play (~1 minute) and the strategy gets surprisingly deep once you start thinking about cascades and efficient pathing.

Initially I started with a 12x12 grid, but after testing with some friends it felt way too overwhelming. It made it hard to feel like you could have a strategy. Once I simplified it to a 5x5 grid the game felt a lot more fun and approachable. You can also play more than once each day so you can keep trying to beat your score.

That's the thing, there is no indexing model. Every string operation is an O(N) seek. But even if you don't care about performance, it's just cumbersome.

Looking at the SO questions for simple things like finding the position of a substring, it also lacked a lot of typical built ins until Swift 5. But that was like 5 years after GA.
by Balinares | 2026-02-02 16:57:29+00:00
Yeah, if you're going to use static type checks, which you should, you really want to run the checker in strict mode to catch oversights such as generic container types without a qualifier.

Although I've found that much of the pain of static type checks in Python is really that a lot of popular modules expose incorrect type hints that need to be worked around, which really isn't a pleasant way to spend one's finite time on Earth.

I just tweeted the exact same thought a few days ago, I guess we're all going through the same journey right now.

When GPT3 was opened to researchers 4-5 years ago, a friend of mine had access and we tried some stuff together; I was blown away that it could translate code it hasn't seen between programming languages, but it seemed to be pretty bad at it at the time. I did not expect coding to be the killer app of LLMs but here we are.

That sounds about right to me. In my experience it's more like 2-3 rounds of interviews and 70-75k€/year with 5 YoE and a college degree, which amounts to 3700€/month net income and you can't expect much improvement on that even with 25 YoE unless you become some sort of corporate middle manager.

There are ongoing projects like Granule[1] that are exploring more precise resource usage to be captured in types, in this case by way of graded effects. There is of course still a tension in exposing too much of the implementation details via intensional types. But it's definitely an ongoing avenue of research.

One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of non-native English speakers use LLMs to translate to English, or to polish their English prose; they may not realize that it causes the translation to come out in a very LLM-style tone. Not sure if that's the case here, but it looks like OP is a native Chinese speaker so may be using tools to translate to English.

> I really enjoy these interactions, but I feel for the drivers, it’s a very tough job where most taxi drivers have to scramble to find places to urinate or do so in an empty bottle between their legs.

Public toilets, their condition and their non-existence are an often-overlooked issue! It's not just highly problematic for taxi drivers, but also for parcel and postal delivery people... and it's not just relevant for workers either, it's also (IMHO) a violation of anti-discrimination laws.

Imagine you're old and don't have much bladder control or volume, or you're a woman who recently has given birth, or you got one of the variety of bowel related diseases, or you've got a child who is still dependent on diapers. Your range of free unimpeded movement is basically limited to where you have easy and fast access to a toilet or at the very least a place to take care of yourself/a child.
