>probably just a dirty contact or something

I have a Leopold with MX brown keys. Bought in 2012. Last year the left ctrl (or maybe left alt? can't remember) started to sometimes not work. I took the back cover off and the soldering job was horrid everywhere. And on that key the solder was mostly non-existent. I touched it up and a few others. All good now.


What is wrong with just using a compass??

A compass doesn't work well in polar regions, e.g., if you're flying from the US to the Soviet Union.

The website is solid black on Firefox mobile for android. Maybe they should get an agent on that.


Anthropic's website is always completely broken for me on Zen (a firefox derivative). I used to think it was an extension, but even without extensions it often just shows blank pages.


Same for me in firefox and chrome. I'm sure it's one of the DNS block lists I have and some really crappy marketing tracking code.

Edit: confirmed, loads with a public DNS provider that has no blocklists.


Works fine here, also on Firefox mobile (149.0.1) on Android 16.


Posted 23 days ago: (Oracle may slash up to 30k jobs to fund AI) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47298183


> The layoffs are directly tied to Oracle’s aggressive and debt-heavy expansion into artificial intelligence infrastructure. According to analysis from TD Cowen, the job cuts are expected to free up between $8 billion and $10 billion in cash flow — money the company urgently needs to fund a massive buildout of AI data centers.

Interesting that they admit that the layoff off is due to a pivot from software to hardware.


Has anyone seen my stapler?


But that doesn’t come with government grants and follow-on funding and subsidies to take it to market under government protection and by being able to use eco-marketing.


When did the industry transition to different/lead free solders? Wonder if that was part of the issue?


Yeah, it was the transition to RoHS.


Oh do tell.



I think this reply might have been downvoted for being a bit glib, but the superpowers plugin took my Claude Code experience from mostly frustrating to nearly-magical

I’m not a software engineer by training nor trade, so caveats apply, but I found that the brainstorming -> plan writing -> plan execution flow provided by the skills in this plugin helps immensely with extracting assumptions and unsaid preferences into a comprehensive plan—-very similar to the guidance elsewhere in this thread, except automated/guided along by the plugin skills
