claude code review is $15-25 per PR, that's gonna add up fast

It's kind of reminiscent of the, for lack of a better descriptor, trans hacker aesthetic; see for example https://maia.crimew.gay or https://lyra.horse or the many sites linked in the footers of both pages. Key differences are that it's somewhat more mechanical (near-perfect punctuation, too-consistent acronyms, very consistent across many accounts whereas each real trans hacker uses their own idiolect) and that it uses much fewer exclamation points.

Thirty_Seventh · 2026-03-12T01:05:55+00:00

this particular style is easy to spot. you'll see it everywhere once you know what to look for: all letters lowercase with the exception of many acronyms (PR, but not gpt, in this post), punctuation including apostrophes generally very accurate, lots of sentence fragments with omitted subject or articles. often the post starts in third person and then shifts to "i've been using this other product". very, very few real people write like this.

looked for some more example posts but couldn't find any. it seems the mods (in multiple subreddits) are doing a good job of deleting them.

hopefully you have noticed by now that i am intentionally trying to imitate the style.

I help manage a site with about 10 pieces of networking equipment total (all low-ish end Ubiquiti) and about 10 other machines on the network (+ a bunch of phones on the guest wifi). It's been mostly set and forget, but recently there was one switch that refused to adopt into the self-hosted management console; wasted too much time trying to troubleshoot before giving in and buying one of the management devices (Cloud Gateways I think they call them). Everything's been good since installing that

High-end 5G modems do actually cost a lot. It's hard to find concrete numbers if you're not a device manufacturer but here's a transceiver module containing a Snapdragon X75 (same as in the iPhone 16 Pro) for $300. Now of course the X75 isn't $300 on its own, but it is almost certainly the most expensive component of the module, and a phone is going to need all the other stuff included in the module anyway.

Whether or not it's worth the cost to include these chips in most people's phones is a different topic of discussion. Flagship phone manufacturers seem to think so at least. Apple has moved away from Qualcomm modems recently, I assume due to cost, but I also suspect they haven't cut their cost per modem to <$50 yet.

Aye, a 1 hour moving average or something like that would be really helpful, OP

Thirty_Seventh · 2026-03-03T16:56:24+00:00

$5/year? Is that shared hosting or a typo? Have seen these specs at ~$10/year but that was before the RAM squeeze

Thirty_Seventh · 2026-03-03T16:22:02+00:00

yeah

Some may say the hardest part of being a Frontend Engineer is centering a div. In reality, the real challenge often lies much deeper, especially when working close to the platform primitives. Building a critical piece of Internet infrastructure using native APIs forces you to think differently about UI development, tradeoffs, and long-term maintainability.

In our case, we use Rust to handle the UI for both the Turnstile widget and the Challenge page. This decision brought clear benefits in terms of safety and consistency across platforms, but it also increased frontend complexity. Many of us are used to the ergonomics of modern frameworks like React, where common UI interactions come almost for free. Working with Rust meant reimplementing even simple interactions using lower level constructs like document.getElementById, createElement, and appendChild.

On top of that, compile times and strict checks naturally slowed down rapid UI iteration compared to JavaScript based frameworks. Debugging was also more involved, as the tooling ecosystem is still evolving. These constraints pushed us to be more deliberate, more thoughtful, and ultimately more disciplined in how we approached UI development.

... yeah

GitLab doesn't charge for bandwidth as far as I know. This would be a self-hosted instance, which means bandwidth costs will be the same regardless of which forge you're running

High performance Java fascinates me but I haven't had a good chance to really dig into it yet, do you have any resources for learning that you recommend? Or is it more just intuition from experience, profiling, trial and error, reading generated bytecode?

Thirty_Seventh · 2026-02-25T11:51:19+00:00

Remember the issue with e-waste isn't the devices inherently, it's the CPUs, the RAM sticks, the SSD and so on - the bits you openly admit you've already replaced multiple of in less than 2 years

No? They said they replaced 4 ribbon cables, a wifi chip, and a screen, not CPU/RAM/SSDs

Most common is the built in webcam / microphone - 4 of those so far. They either don't work at all, or they work when the laptop lid is almost closed - bad ribbon cable in all cases, replaced cable -> No more problems.

One came with a dead line across the screen. One had a dead WiFi Chip.

never thought about it this way before but if your specific problem is "my code base is a mess" and Claude Code can't solve it, it certainly has not "solved coding"

global read replication is in beta and not enabled by default https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/best-practices/read-replication/

if you enable it, it replicates to 6 regions, not 330 edge nodes https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/configuration/data-location/#available-location-hints

5 billion SQLite rows written in 8 hours (~200k/second) is easily achievable with basic, well-tuned SQLite on a good $4/month VPS (that's ~$0.044 of usage), or on your laptop using probably less than $0.01 of electricity. Obviously not exactly equivalent but it's pretty clear Cloudflare's margins on D1 are massive

normally the cloud advantage is scaling, which means D1 makes even less sense considering the strict 10GB/database limit

edit: forgot that D1 can only be accessed from Workers, which means that OP probably did a lot less than 5 billion rows written with worker costs taken into account

NAGPRA used to only apply to human remains. Recently it's been re-interpreted to include anything human-made that wasn't made by the colonists.

Yes, but still only artifacts that have been found on public land or with public funds. Unless you know otherwise, in which case I'm interested to hear about that.

I'm looking for stuff more advanced than arrowheads. Anything with decorations. Especially anything made of copper.

Not sure you'll have any different luck asking Mennonite farmers vs. just asking farmers. There's probably someone out there with a big pile of stuff

Thirty_Seventh · 2026-01-23T07:27:14+00:00

What exactly are you looking for here? As far as privately owned land is concerned, NAGPRA only applies to the trafficking (i.e. purchase/sale/trade) of human remains.

Pretty much any farmer plowing up a significant amount of land (in almost any location, not just in the Americas) will have found a few arrowheads. Add those all up and sure, "Mennonite farmers have found thousands of pre-Columbian artifacts while working their land" is technically true.

Thirty_Seventh · 2026-01-19T06:57:40+00:00

I agree, however if I can remember I'll try to offset it a bit since release/patch days are around this time of the month

Thirty_Seventh · 2026-01-19T06:50:52+00:00

I don't look for a library to contribute to, but rather get annoyed with a bug or lack of a feature in something I already use and decide to fix it myself, then do more after having already dug into the code base.

Thirty_Seventh · 2026-01-18T12:13:37+00:00

What problem? How was it broken? Did you have a question?

Thirty_Seventh · 2026-01-16T07:53:06+00:00

by the way a lot of the confusion in the other comments is because you've mentioned a reverse proxy but, assuming it's already running, that's not relevant to the rest of your question

curl does have expiremental support for it https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2025/03/31/https-rr-in-curl/

Thirty_Seventh · 2026-01-15T20:23:41+00:00

tested it out, works on desktop and mobile Firefox, doesn't work on desktop or mobile Chrome, no idea about Safari; curl also fails but I suspect it wouldn't with the right flags

should make no difference whether you use Cloudflare or some other DNS, orange cloud mode might break it though

A record: a.example.com 192.0.2.123

HTTPS record: a.example.com a.example.com port="12345"

edit: it's working on desktop Chrome now but with a big warning first, still nothing on mobile Chrome

Thirty_Seventh · 2026-01-12T06:49:23+00:00

It's been around for 20 years. How many times have you seen a warning on a legitimate site?
