On: Google just made you a search quality rater. You won't get paid

[suralind]

Hmm, but weren't you already rating websites by clicking on the search results before? I don't see how that changes the game - and I must admit I don't know much about SEO - but in my view we were always rating results and that was influencing the position. Now they make the linking obsolete or at least less important signal... that's good? It means that relevant content is going to be surfaced to the top. Win-win honestly (and yes, Google will continue to use users-generated signals to drive their revenue like they always have).

not if you use one of those userscripts/adblockers killing google pingbacks

I found this little game yesterday that sucked me in.

I’m NOT the creator.

This is great! I've been trying to get into local models for a while as I share the sentiment that local models will eventually be so good that there won't be a need to use frontier models for most coding tasks (perhaps that's already true today?).

I have zero experience building computers - where would I even start? I mean, aside from the things already well documented and mentioned in the blog post.

[tymscar → suralind]

Building computers is very easy. I would suggest watching a YouTube video to get the general gist, and then once you buy the parts, just Google for whatever doesn’t go well.

I built my first Pentium 4 one when I was like six, so I’m sure someone much older that’s into tech can do it without an issue.

There are also tons of Discord communities that are willing to help you live if you encounter any issues.

I agree, but for small tasks - <20 lines that I can understand in a minute or two - perfect. Thinking about it - I have hundreds, if not thousands of tasks that I would like to do, improving pipelines, migrating from one tool to another, but never have time. The only question is - if I don't have time to do it, do I have time to prompt it?

I was thinking for years about doing something like this. Thank you for linking this. Would be nice if it allowed to "reject" or mark a change to fix later, but honestly when it would need to be linked to some tracking tool and it would be overkill.

On: Should I run plain Docker Compose in production in 2026?

[suralind]

This is a great idea for some vibe coding tbh and you can customize it to match exactly the resources that you need as everyone has slightly different requirements for their k8s stack.

The simplest way to start probably would just be to create a custom Helm chart and define what you want in `values.yaml`.

On: Functional programmers need to take a look at Zig

[suralind]

My stack today is kinda nice but perhaps a bit odd:

- Go - backend + CLIs

- TypeScript - fronted, occasionally zx for more complex scripts

- Nushell as my scripting language (I’ve been relentlessly using it everywhere I can instead of bash/zsh and man it is such an improvement)

I heard so much good stuff about both Zig and Rust and would love to eventually get to know one of them.

[crabsand → suralind]

nushell + 1. After ~20 years of bash+zsh, I'm translating all my scripts to nu.

Yesterday I noticed I still don't know how to write

  ls | where modified < ((date now) - 3wk) | each { |fn| rm $fn.name } 

in zsh after all years.

[metaltyphoon → crabsand]

   find . -type f -mtime +21 -delete

Or if you have fd

   fd -t f --changed-before 3w -X rm

[psychoslave → crabsand]

I use fish as daily shell, and for this kind of script I would rather jump to ruby. But it looks rather readable.

[i_think_so → crabsand]

Whoa. You people freak me out with your fancy new toys.

[hootz → suralind]

Nushell, from their website, looks a lot like PowerShell's idea of a shell, but less verbose.

[suralind → hootz]

Yup. Which is kinda funny, because back when I was a young dev using Windows I never liked nor understood PS.

[stingraycharles → suralind]

> when I was a young dev … never understood PowerShell

This makes me feel old.

[IdiotSavage → hootz]

PowerShell is not really that much more verbose. This is the equivalent of the nushell command by crabsand.

  dir | ? LastWriteTime -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-21) | del

[metaltyphoon → IdiotSavage]

Too much casing changes, IMO

[IdiotSavage → metaltyphoon]

Sorry. Fixed it for you.

  dir | ? lastwritetime -lt (get-date).adddays(-21) | del

PowerShell is not case sensitive (but nushell and bash are).

On: Show HN: I built a 2-min quiz that shows you how bad you are at estimating

[suralind]

Did it twice: once had 0.177, 2nd time got 0.280. Note sure what to make of this, I guess I should always leave it on 50/50?

[convexly → suralind]

The variance is normal, the questions pull from a pool of 138 questions so far. 0.177 is strong. Setting everything to 50% would just get you 0.25, so you did way better on the first attempt. The goal isn't 50/50 on everything, only on the occasions where you are not confident that you are right.

Guys, there’s a tool called mergiraf[1] that does wonders. I don’t remember my last rebase

[senfiaj → suralind]

Yeah, I also thought that a semantic merge is the best solution. It would be nice if it could be extended with custom formats such as sqlite.
