Someone stopped maintaining a GitHub project and their website.
HN: here's a posted phone number, maybe you could call him.
Holy fuck, do not call creators of open source projects on their phone. They owe you nothing. Just stop!

One annoying thing about led lamps is that I can't easily show my kids how the prism works. I get the stripes for the components, but not really a rainbow 😔
And I have no light at home that isn't led!

I feel like the internet would benefit from a WordPress alternative with a fully self-serve visual editor that deploys static pages. Just without all-the-things avalanche that WordPress brings.

Just realised you can now develop phone apps from your phone by connecting to your local OpenCode in your mobile browser and asking it to install after each change, using wireless debugging.

Kimi K2.5 dropped and it's something different. The benchmarks don't reflect what's going on. 2026 is going to be a wild ride in AI again.

So Confluence still doesn't allow comments in the middle of a code block. The system aimed at the tech companies. That integrates with JIRA and GitHub. It... Can't... Comment... On... Code...

I released a #crystal implementation of the #aws sdk generator to the world: https://codeberg.org/viraptor/aws-sdk-crystal
It should match most of the ruby sdk behaviors and naming. (minus 3 APIs with missing protocols, temporarily)

The fact that it's 2026 and windows msi packages can still end up in a "failed to fully uninstall but can't reinstall either" state is such bullshit. How do you even recover from that? (@SwiftOnSecurity?)

It's 2026 and as far as I can tell nobody has yet released an android keyboard app with swipe, tiny LLM based prediction / autocorrect, all local. Come on people! I really want someone else to take the time...

GPT 5.2 Codex pretty much overtook Opus 4.5 for me and I was happy with the Claude progress and being the first choice for quite a while.
Anthropic really didn't choose the right time to fight over the right to use OpenCode. It may just incentivise more devs to look for alternatives.

Good: minimax m2.1 knows how to use anime.js
Bad: it absolutely has no concept of how to rotate a plot from one location to end up in another. Lines zoom off into the distance 😂

Using GUI frameworks has that fun failure mode where things just don't work, silently. You can call .Move() on some control and nothing happens. Someone experienced can tell you about all the different state details that led to this situation. But every single framework has thousands of those […]

I hate the "only secure system is an airgapped system" line so much. It doesn't apply to normal people, it's not actionable, it's not even true where the airgapped systems actually occur. It's just an "I kNoW a SmOrT WoRd" comment.

- my HRV has a G2 filter which is not enough for the smoke
- I need the installer code to turn off the fan
- I do not have the code 😒

I'm sad about the number of packages in nixpkgs that don't work on Darwin just because someone added Linux-specific things to the build unconditionally. I get that not everyone has the hardware to test, but if they add libX11 specific fixes... maybe check if other systems just don't need it?

GitHub is never adding proper stacked PRs support, right? I want it almost every time I submit something to nixpkgs and don't want to create a "fix Foo by changing its 10 arbitrary and unrelated dependencies" PR.

Recipe:
> Heat 1/2 inch oil over medium heat in a large heavy skillet.
Somehow, seeing a pan with oil spontaneously go FOOF with flames, twice, well below the official smoke point, makes me want to never try things like that. I'll let the restaurants do that.
