Indeed.

This collection costed me around one-month Claude pro subscription around April/May I think. Staggered because of rate-limiting. But it was almost entirely developed on my phone, with Claude Code in the Claude app cloning the github repo, raising PRs, and Netlify giving me previews of the PR's changes for me to see before merging. So I used to have like 3/4 Claudes working on separate games, and review them in the PR previews, discard/approve as I see fit.

After that, once the original shape, architecture and philosiphy were set in, I now maintain it mostly with Opencode's free models (BigPickle and MiMo), or models from Kimi/Gemma/DeepSeek, via DeepInfra.

In all, so far it costed ~$30 may be. Totally worth it. :)

I'm taking this more as a "pricing" change. Like, if you pay 200$ then you can use inference only in these limited scopes. If you want more unrestricted access to inference, use the API token pricing.

Which, seems fine? They could've just not offered the 200$ plan and perhaps nobody would've complained. They tried it, noticed it being unsustainable, so they're trying to remodel it to it _is_ sustainable.

I think the upset is misplaced. :shrug:

Httpbun is an HTTP server similar to httpbin.org, but has a few more bells. One of them is the `/mix` endpoint, and the Mixer tool.

With httpbin, we can't have an endpoint that responds with, say, 400 status code, _and_ an HTML body with a script injection, for when I need to test any HTTP client. This is possible with `/mix`. Here's the Mixer URL for such an endpoint: https://httpbun.com/mixer/s=400/b64=PHNjcmlwdD5hbGVydCgiaW5q....

Hey HN, this is a quick tiny browser extension to change human time displays to inhuman ones, on GitHub.

Changes human time displays to inhuman ones on GitHub. For example, a time displayed as `3 days ago`, will be changed to `31 Oct 2022, 5:34 pm IST`.

The advantage of this, is say if you are viewing a page of releases for example, and all releases show `3 days ago`, since they are all off by a few minutes or hours, it can be really frustrating to have to hover over each of them to find out the exact time of each release.

This applies in commits page, releases page, updates pages etc.

Hey Peter! It's so humbling to see you check out my blog!

Your articles on awk and sed were a huge inspiration to me around 2008-09, and I super-looked up to you. Never have I imagined you would check out my blog one day!

Thank you for all your work dude! Stay awesome.

Hey all! Appsmith is an open-source low-code platform for building internal tools quick.

A big part of the coding experience in Appsmith is the Appsmith Debugger.

To help you get the most out of the often-used-but-little-known feature, we’ve written a two-part blog post covering each pane, view, and line that can help you debug more effectively, turn a frown upside down, and help you build more resilient apps for your end-users.

1⃣ In the first part, we’ll see how the Errors pane can become a part of your development flow.

https://www.appsmith.com/blog/debugging-your-app-in-appsmith...

2⃣ In the second, we’ll meet Logs, Inspect Entity, and learn how to tie errors with these two for end-to-end debugging.

Hey, you may like my Just a Calendar: https://cal.sharats.me

Months are laid out in clean no-nonsense way, and it's a very lightweight app. You can click on dates to mark them to get some bearings while planning things on a Calendar, kinda like pointing a pen at a date. Drag to mark multiple dates too!

No logins, no extra engagement features, and nothing much.

Indeed. This is what I used to use before I gave in and built this. What I was missing most of all, was marks. Be able to pull up a calendar when sharing my screen with my team to collaborate on dates while marking them for some bearings. Sure, I could double-click on a date in `cal`'s output, which was what I used to do, but I can mark only a single date with that.
