My pet peeve: the tick sign that pairs with ❌ is ✔️, which is totally inaccessible in dark mode. OTOH if you use ✅ for tick, then you ought to use ❎, but then the visual contrast is poor. Can we please have a cross sign with red background, or a tick sign that's green?

The most-starred repos are always those closest to newbies and casual users.

It is year 2026 and Copilot still refuses to be half as decent as real LLMs at generating text

Anthropic does great research, makes great products, and has awesome aesthetics in their UI design and model names. It's such a shame that such a company could be run by total assholes.

I really like cleaning up the pile of crap on my computer once in a while. Recently, I ran a complete audit of every software and program I have installed, and compiled them into a list: joshcena.com/notes/tech-r.... This is going to grant me eternal peace of mind

Après moltbook, voici molthub, un site de p*rn pour les LLM. Vous n'êtes toujours pas prêts. (je crois que tout est devenu totalement hors de contrôle 🤣) moithub.com

Midwit move: "Lagrange interpolation" "floored polynomial" yada yada Try instead: search it on OEIS In this case the obvious correct answer is 31, for the maximal number of regions formed by joining n points around a circle. Anyone past elementary school should know that by heart

I still browse X occasionally because it's like alcohol/smoke: a little and it amuses you; too much and it poisons your brain Bsky is the only platform where I don't find my brain poisoned, at the cost of it being absolutely mundane. Oh I need those midwits even if it's engagement bait

Not going to name call, but there's a language in TIOBE top 10 (January 2026), that has *all* of `stopifnot`, `setNames`, `data.frame`, *and* `seq_len` in the same standard library.

I've been writing little OCaml programs in and out for a year, and it's still on the "disgusting" side of the spectrum for me. I don't know how a language managed to combine the unwieldy parts of FP *and* C. (For reference Haskell and Rust are two of my favorite languages)

So we are putting a maximum on a maximum now

Today I realized this is an a and not an o

Bun is great Until it OOMs

This is a truly awesome post!

The HTML spec keeps on giving html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/pa...

Canny machine-translates post content (written by user) to the browser's preferred language, but the UI labels remain in English—has to be the funniest l10n strategy

I don't remember if this is my first time (maybe Docusaurus 2 too?), but it's good to be involved in a news that stayed in HN#1 for so long! (Interestingly, exactly 10 out of the 300+ comments ever mentioned or linked MDN.)

The Temporal docs are now live on MDN! After watching it evolve for ~5 years I finally sat down and wrote docs for it—one of the biggest additions to the JS docs area ever.

And it starts cooking...👀

We don't show enough appreciation for what a piece of art parser generators are. They are the ultimate forms of software design. Here I'm taking one second to appreciate this epic error message that LALRPOP produces.

Starting to realize that "GraphQL is great" might be a hot take

So I heard the sky is bluer over here...
