This is a major issue. Why the code is what it is.

You need a history of the assumptions so that new developers can know what's legacy and what isn't.

I've never yet had a set of requirements that didn't change.

I'm so sick of everyone frivolously requiring mobile phone number and email address and there doesn't seem to exist much resistance from general user base.
Ask HN: What competing or open source product do you prefer over your company's?
For example:

- Work at Google but use Kagi

- Work at Apple but prefer Android

- Work at Dropbox but run Syncthing for your own files

Why? Is the competitor better in all aspects or just one or two that matter?

Not intended as a gotcha question or to prove a point about any specific product or company. Just curious.

My biggest surprise in AI 2024 was that it seems that Bing did not manage to take any market share from Google:

https://bsky.app/profile/gnod.bsky.social/post/3ld43usdckk25

ChatGPT now has hundreds of millions of users. Personally, I do over 50% of my "searches" on LLMs now. And Bing, while having access to ChatGPT and being the default search engine on every Windows machine seems to not have gained any traction from it.
did i miss something or why are there TWO (2) "magically reverse engineer REST APIs" projects on the HN front page right now? is there some offline beef going on?

Dropbox has 2,693 employees. 37signals has ~80.

I can't see Dropbox having a product/sales that is ~30 times as complex. However, I can easily see an organization that has become overly political.

Dropbox should be run as a small company and not run it as "big tech".

What are all these people doing besides political games?
> My feed is about 30% content I've asked to see or would want to see, the rest junk (AI crap, far right rage, far left rage).

Since we both seem to use Facebook in the same way, I'll just point out that you can reduce the junk to 0% by skipping your timeline, and going to Feeds: https://www.facebook.com/?filter=all&sk=h_chr

That will give you a feed of pages you've followed, and doesn't have any algorithmic or suggested content. I think the only pitfall is that it only shows you recently posted content.
I haven't seen that.

The accuracy of the results might depend on the language you’re reading, the LLM you’re using, the nature of the text, and the amount of context you give to the LLM. When I’ve tested the best models with more or less standard texts, such as excerpts from novels or news articles, in English, Japanese, and Russian, the results have been extremely good. The latest versions of ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are able to explain the meetings of words quite well, and they also get the grammar correct. (I say this as a long-time language teacher and lexicographer. I have written and edited many textbooks and dictionaries for learners of English and Japanese; LLMs come close to my ability and maybe exceed it sometimes.)

They are not always so good, however, with more granular aspects of language, particularly the way words are written or pronounced—the problem the models have with the word “strawberry” is well known. I’ve also seen them struggle with the meanings of words and sentences in isolation, as a lack of context can confuse them (as it can confuse people).

In the case of emails or transcripts, the text might contain mistakes or non-standard language that might trip up the LLMs as well.

In any case, at least for major languages and non-critical applications, I think LLM’s are a great way to understand what is written in another language.
The problem I have is that only people who "know" already tend to accept this insight.

i.e. explaining it to those who make decisions doesn't work that well because it doesn't fit their mental model very well - they don't understand that a large part of their asset is sitting in people's heads.

That guy wants 5k more.....? Pay it. The cost of hiring someone new and training them up and relearning it all will be far higher. Don't force people back to the office, be relaxed about everything and keep the knowledge.

At the same time make sure other people are learning it so you do have replacements.

At the same time make sure you have proper tests so you can work with code you don't understand yet if someone leaves.

At the same time try to gather all the correct and uptodate documentation and explanations somewhere.

Something something work smart not hard.
I get how I could be wrong on that front. I guess what I was trying to say was that there needs to be legible, predictable infrastructure for these AI systems to work well. I actually think that an LLM workflow in a constrained, well understood environment would be amazingly good too.

I've been driving a lot in Istanbul lately and I'm not holding my breath for autonomous vehicles any time soon.

> JupyterLab kernel

There is no such thing. There are Jupyter kernels. JupyterLab is just one of many UIs that speak the Jupyter protocol. Other examples include the original Jupyter notebook editor, VSCode Jupyter extension, and now Zasper.

I'm pretty sure Sage was always intended as a project that integrates the world, never "small footprint".
> What I want is very simple: I want software that doesn’t send anything to the Internet without some explicit intent first.

At the risk of blaming the victim, it just seems so strange that in 2025 we are still having this discussion.

If you are a privacy minded individual, you simply shouldn’t use social media, cloud services, or smartphones without severe restrictions. We simply cannot trust or rely on any of these companies to act in every one of our interests at once.

I use my iPhone for sharing photos with my family. I also have a dedicated digital camera that is 100% always offline that I use occasionally for things I never ever want to touch the internet.

I read a ton online, but I also have an e-reader that I keep in airplane mode and only load with calibre locally. Same thing with a laptop I keep offline for managing root certificates and keys I never want to worry about leaking.

These articles that reverse engineer the policies of photos.app are interesting but honestly the smartphone is yet another device we don’t fully own. It’s designed to be always online running software we don’t control.

If you want actual privacy you have to take matters into your own hands. Even Apple, who I believe has good intentions and some of the best privacy practices and transparency of all the big firms, is still going to do it their way for their benefit.

Photos.app will always be hooked deep into Apple services, and we should expect the same for anything Apple ships. if you don’t want to talk to Apple services, just use something else.

> Spending just ~30 seconds a week under acute stress can take a human male who cannot lift 185 lbs to one who can lift 405 lbs in a number of months. It's radically, stupidly, unreasonably, and absurdly effective.

185 lbs is 83 kg; 405 lb is 183 kg.

As someone who has been doing a 5x5 deadlift set every week (plus other stuff) for about three years: this is a wild exaggeration that sounds like some sort of supplement marketing claim. Perhaps you forgot a few hidden variables? For example, I'm over 40.

(It was also very apparent when I had COVID and was out of the gym for over a month that I "lost" about 25kg from my working weight)

The biggest difference here is that Spring Boot has the errors in a seperate object BindingResult. If you use Thymeleaf, this is smoothly integrated and you just write: <p th:if="${#fields.hasErrors('comment')}">Invalid Comment</p>

Grails Framework (Spring Framework more like Rails) integrates errors directly into the domain model, so if you have a domain class Person, it was extended with person.errors property.
Wohoo, my name is in the contributors list! This helped me get in a computer graphics grad course at a top(?) school and certainly helped in further job applications.

Was there a specific reason to use AGPL-3.0? Not critizing, just asking.

I used Kholia's scripts[1] on Qemu with Virsh. I didn't have much trouble other than some SELinux permission issues which I resolved quickly.

iCloud/imessage have always been finicky with Hackintosh, but in my experience setting the correct serial number with appropriate Mac model is the key to resolve those issues.

With just couple of years of Hackintosh scene left before support for x86 Macs are dropped completely, a VM Hackintosh makes more sense to me than building a physical Hackintosh.

It may be a good start to write something in go, e.g. a command line tool. Start from scratch. If you make it open source you can show it to potential employers...

First focus on shipping (goreleaser), then on improving the code (unit and Integration testing).

Perhaps read code from other open source projects and submit pull requests. This way your learning and self promoting process helps others...

Remember to be polite, your employers may also read comments ;-)

It's probably an unrelated post (apologies in advance) but I wanted to shoutout to the Marimo (https://marimo.io), it's the only Jupyter alternative that really got me excited, it's like Streamlit and Jupyter had a kid (and the kid took the best genes from both).

Equally personally, after a whole bunch of negative experiences I've started to avoid LLMs like the plague; now I'm wondering if the non-growth of Bing is an indicator that there are more people like me than there are like you…

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I don't use any of these services on PC, I'm just thinking of regular TV viewing. Apple, Amazon, and YouTube all provide 4K at all paying price points.

> YouTube locks high bittrate 1080p behind YouTube Premium

I'm discounting free tiers. I think it's fine to segment aggressively to get people into paying tiers, but nickle and diming paying users just sucks.

> Paramount lock 4K behind their upper tier. So do Disney.

I've never had either of these, but would be less likely to as a result.

I know 4K streaming is substantially more expensive than 1080p, but honestly the delivery is such a small fraction of the price being paid that it does not need to be associated with an increased cost.
I suspect almost everyone shares a netflix account with thier household and statistically there's few single person households. So this is life, everything is setup for the average even things like bin collections will assume multiple people in your house.
>This is giving me major white savior vibes, as in management didn't want to talk to those foreginers who acted and spoke English funny, so he became the Western face of the team, and took all the credit.

Heaven forbid that a good communicator get promoted to deal with people, or that people be proficient in the language of the land. The promotion couldn't have been because of seniority, clear communication, or high competence. No, there's no possible explanation besides racism and xenophobia.

>All of which is sadly a thing.

There are at least as many places that refuse to promote white people because of the possibility that it might be seen this way. There's nothing inherently wrong with having a white manager. Managers often appear to get more credit than their subordinates, for better or worse. The combination of a US native worker (who can stay here forever by the way) plus management does not add up to racism.
Presumably, because the closed source one got some traction, so people are pointing out the open source alternative.

I use Android Auto, and it just seems like a no-brainer: I already have all of my settings and contacts and podcast/music apps and downloaded files etc. on my phone...

I remember finding ASCII porn online as a kid in the late 90’s and finding it the most hilarious thing I’d ever seen in my 11 years on the planet.

Honestly, I’d never really thought about it again until reading this. It actually gave me a good appreciation for it. There’s a pretty insane amount of detail in it. Quite the commitment.
I work directly in my guest os and clone my projects and run them in there. There are some projects that are driven through docker-compose and that works nicely. The one caveat is that I had to install `apt install binfmt-support qemu-user-static` so that docker can run x86_64 images on my arm64 VM.
Do you think that's a bad thing?

writing code != building things.

In my org, seniors spend a lot less time building things: writing components, etc. They do spend a lot of time navigating office politics. But they are engineering specific office politics: how does system A interact with system B? What are the architectural implications? Ownership of long term data and technical and business strategies?

The "art" of negotiation can be ass-kissing but quite often genuinely with the goal to advance the projects they own and the enablement of the "people who actually build things", which at some point also involves the seniors. You need to build raport and relationships to negotiate seriously.

Narrative people vs reality people maps quite well to the left/right split.

Gorbachev probably did assign blame to Chernobyl. The USSR collapsed not due to internal revolution but because the people at the very top of the system became so demoralized they basically gave up on it. Key people just stopped fighting to defend the system, and the event that demoralized them was a bit different for each.

If you look at the career trajectory of Yeltsin, who never gets enough credit for the ending of the USSR, then it's a very clear case of someone at the top levels of the Soviet system suddenly realizing just how far ahead the US was in its provision of consumer surplus. The USSR was very effective at censoring information, including from people very high up the ladder. He visited a Randalls supermarket as part of a diplomatic mission to NASA and after realizing it wasn't staged or fake, it changed him forever. He became an outspoken critic of the system from the inside, which destabilized the regime. He was exiled from power and the pressure nearly killed him as part of this, but the other Soviets never did put a bullet in his head in the way they might have done in an earlier era.

Why not? Well, perhaps because the experience of dealing with Chernobyl had sapped their confidence so much. It's easy to overlook what an absolutely massive drain on the USSR's resources and time of senior party officials it was. And because everyone knew, and everyone knew everyone knew, it dealt a huge blow to their own ability to shape the view of the Soviet system. They suddenly had to divert vast resources and years of time to cleaning up a huge disaster of their own making. Undoubtably this demoralized Gorbachev significantly, and many others.
> Trump told the court that TikTok was an important platform for his presidential campaign and that he should be the one to make the call on whether TikTok should remain in the US—not the Supreme Court.

That's all it comes down to really. Trump's interest ahead of any national interest.
Every senior role is always very arbitrary while the junior ones are very practical. I feel that this is why big companies fail because you can never actually tell if the senior employees fulfill their expectations because it comes down to personal preference.

Stuff like this only shows that it's not worth making too much of an effort since it's not really recognized anyway. The only time effort and monetary benefits go hand in hand is when you are the owner of the company you make your efforts for.
Maybe your keyboard was a contributing factor? I had wrist pain typing in vim on a "regular" (Keychron C1) Keyboard. The wrist pain is gone since i use a split keyboard (Ergodox EZ) which allows me to rotate both halves of the keyboard in order to match the "incoming angle" of my forearm which removes the need to constantly bend my wrists outwards.

The flat earthers are the people dismissing the concerns of the FSF though.

(The Earth being round doesn't directly matter in practice to most people. It does have inevitable consequences though.)

Or perhaps a better example is anthropogenic climate change : here too the implications are extremely inconvenient for most people, so denial is rampant.
