copyparty is great, personally started using it on my homeserver a while back when i could not figure out a good reliable way to transfer files between my home server and mac
This is an absolutely inspiring and exciting bit of technology, one of the best nerdy and useful bits of code I’ve seen in a long time, made as a labor of love by a truly great hacker, not as a commercial project but just to make it easier for everyone to work with files. youtu.be/15_-hgsX2V0

TIL: pre-Go 1.22, closures inside for loops would share the same value for a variable.

this would output `3, 3, 3`

I recently started watching the series and highly recommend to Gophers out there.

@goinggo.net is great!

TIL: uint (unsigned ints) should not be used for merely representing positive ints.

only use them when their bitwise operator or peculiar arithmetic operators are required

Finally did it. I wrote down how to build a code-editing agent.

In 315 lines of code. And yes, it works. Very well.

There is no moat.

Got to be great for business for Deel knowing CEO is unfindable by the court

As a reminder Deel handles payroll and HR - which makes it a high-risk business vendor which requires high trust.

Cannot imagine new customers signing that hear about this lawsuit and court troubles…

one of my favorite parts about go is you can just read standard library code and understand it

do truly real-time translation systems even work?

i cant imagine conversing in English <-> German.

a lot of times verbs in German go to the end of the sentence and you can't translate until the sentence is finished...

PSA: the best way to encourage maintainers NOT to deal with an open issue or PR is to ask "any updates?"

GitHub is the source of truth. All updates are there before your question. If it's important to you: create a better reproduction, share new use cases, contribute test cases, review tradeoffs

while usually I enjoy PG’s essays, this article felt wrong on so many levels

if anything, the recent events drive me to work harder on myself and help minorities when I can
Paul Graham's latest piece is the hottest piece of garbage he's ever written -- which honestly is really saying something. But I take solace in the HN comments, the most upvoted of which observes that his mind has turned to mush. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4268...

aliro — the new smart door standard has its name taken from Esperanto meaning "access", using Esperanto strangely feels like a good choice.
