At this point I'm absolutely convinced this is a HN inside joke / shibboleth.

🎉 Unison 1.0 has landed! After years of engineering, design, and community collaboration, we’re excited to announce this milestone! Spread the word!

It's a little bit disarming when my arms pop off

Having run out of Cursor's Sonnet 4.5 monthly usage quota, I tried their unlimited Auto thingy for two days and it's complete garbage. Like, IQ drops 50 points, thoughts run in loop, it contradicts what it sees etc. The model matters so much

If you could pay for access to a bunch of small self-contained lustre examples - think advanced/niche things that cant reasonably be documented by the lib - what sort of thing might you want to see?

The ocaml maintainers are saints for how gracefully they handled this. I would not have the patience they did.

I've been using poetry based jailbreaks for years now and am mostly just upset that someone blew up my spot. One of those things that only works until foundation labs start trying to train for refusals to poetic prompt-hacking

Perl might be unreadable, but most of all it's funny: perl -pe 'chomp if eof' file.txt

Github "Soft Dark" theme makes me feel like I'm under water in Noita.

OK, trying out AWK on something non-trivial, I'm suddenly horrified to realize: * AWK doesn't let you construct arrays as values * AWK doesn't let you return arrays * AWK doesn't let you set arrays to variables This ........ will take some getting used to

A friend of mine has early access to cutting edge corporate jargon, I heard the phrase "let's double-click on that" from him long before anywhere else. I asked him what's new these days and he says it's "the shark closest to your body" for the most urgent issue.

Seeing all those LLM CLI tools having those fun block character title screens made me want my own. And no, I didn't have an LLM make this, just 6 hours toggling pixels in Photoshop. Pixel art is such a hyperfocus black hole.

Frog put the cookies in a box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.” “But we can open the box,” said Toad. “That is true,” said Frog.

Another functional pattern that is surprisingly useful for Advent of Code is this recursion over TODOs. Great for DFS/BFS etc. martin.janiczek.cz/2023/06/27/f...

New work • My typeface 'Levitate' is out now! Taking aesthetic inspiration from electronic displays: 'Levitate' explores ways to embrace just a handful of shapes and 45-degree angles while developing a language that accounts for theoretically any glyph. Available here: linktr.ee/wendymurphyo...

Current status. Buttons: implemented! Killing processes: implemented! (JS generators are awesome.)

Actual causes of death in the US and media coverage of same. And then we wonder why people have such a skewed understanding of the world. @ourworldindata.org is a treasure. Thanks, @hannahritchie.bsky.social and colleagues. ourworldindata.org/does-the-new...

Progress has been good! Last few things to plumb together, a nicer button style to implement, letting the user spawn the rust counter from within the UI... It's all coming together!

eyy IPC

Is Rust wasm-bindgen and wasm-pack ready for use? My program using basic types and Serde is running into unreachable blocks, logging via web_sys doesn't work, etc. 🤔

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

For more on Rev. Woolf, who appears to have been arrested today: he published an editorial with @rns.org literally this week titled “Why clergy should risk assault to protest ICE” —> religionnews.com/2025/11/13/w...

Apple’s on-device LLM when asked for an SF Symbol: chaos. Apple’s on-device LLM when asked for one emoji: extremely competent. So Hour by Hour now uses emoji as a middle layer for icon picking. Welcome to modern computing. Details in my blog post: joethephish.me/blog/apple-f...

The window manager behaviours are fun to tinker on :)

Stockholm Syndrome is actually very nice and I love it now

I miss APL. Great new primitive added. I bet @codereport.bsky.social is preparing a video about which combinator bird it models :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6LF...

Good news guys, my son likes amber displays as much as I do

Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.

elm-book by @georgesboris.com is as awesome to use as ever. I've missed it 😁

It's wild how instead of "is it Elm the mail client?" the HN comments focused on "is it BEAM the Apache Beam?" Never change.

But have you considered that, I, the protagonist, might be right?

Brace yourselves, we're on HN homepage

@antirez.bsky.social's C course is the first time I'm seeing YouTube auto-dubbing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1Zh... I'm not sure how I feel about it, but it probably is a net positive due to being able to consume that content in English? Still prefer original audio with English auto-subtitles though

Writing your own BEAM, in a blogpost form! martin.janiczek.cz/2025/11/09/w...

There were two "The Rise of the Golden Idol" DLCs released since I last checked, let's gooooooo

Haha, this from the New Yorker is getting passed around the math dork community. I did a comic about this kind of thought a few years ago: www.smbc-comics.com/comic/commut...

Write code to make being human easier. Rip code out if it makes being human harder. Write code to make caring for each other easier. Rip it out if it makes caring for each other harder. Empathy driven development has literally never failed me. It’s done me better than everything else combined

Turns out spending two days at an Erlang conference _can_ have an effect on you

Interesting that Elixir type inference system will just believe the type annotation you-the-developer provide to it 🤔

Something something tooling that removes/derives glue code ~~ developed economies being heavily service based

Hayleigh Thompson at Code BEAM Europe 2025: UI testing without browsers. Lustre + Gleam = pain-free testing. “Browsers need not apply, UI testing with Lustre and Gleam”

In which I'll realize my talk is totally wrong #codebeam

Today I got to 21:45 on my talk practice, while tired and trying very hard to not say any "you know"-like words. I think I might get under 20 minutes tomorrow!
