I got details I shouldn't have. I can confidently say this one's 100% on Google, and I will be disappointed if Railway is unable to share more. There is literally nothing they could have done to prevent this aside from avoiding GCP entirely.
This changed my life
I can't believe you're accusing someone of plagiarism because they had a similar idea that "claude code would be safer if it couldn't do destructive git calls". They also added much more protection, implemented it as a plugin, wrote thorough docs and have shipped many updates since.
You wrote a markdown file. Shut up.

This article makes ME feel like I'm going insane. Have you even read the React docs?
The article you linked about "patterns" in React is explicitly referencing patterns that are 7+ years out of date. Hooks were built to REPLACE those patterns, and they did a phenomenal job.
90% of this article is immediately invalidated by introducing a simple, 20loc "useQuery" hook (or, god forbid, looking at ANY of the libraries that provide similar. Shoutout React Query)
I really wish we could get more valid critique of React from people who actually understand the framework, instead of this drivel from devs who spend more time complaining in blog posts than reading the docs.
Absolutely huge
My haters live in a different dimension of hair splitting, it's honestly kind of unreal
They don't need it. They offered to "notify me before any action is taken" and I politely declined - explicitly telling them to IMMEDIATELY take it down if they find anything at all
Hey y'all, I made the most prominent fork of this extension "Material Theme (But I Won't Sue You)"
The maintainer went off the deep end last year. He pulled the (originally apache 2) source offline, then started threatening to sue people for hosting alternative versions, including them in other IDEs, etc. Genuine lunatic.
Out of an abundance of precaution, I've taken the following action on my fork:
1. I have the VS Code team auditing it as we speak, and I've given them full permission to immediately pull it from the marketplace & force uninstall it from users if they find ANYTHING malicious.
2. I have audited the code base thoroughly (nothing seemed malicious)
3. I have removed ALL code related to changelogs, analytics, Open Collective and html rendering.
The only thing that seemed slightly concerning was the html + sanity loader for changelogs, so I gutted it entirely. Two PRs removed almost all the deps and over 7,000loc (mostly package-lock)
Repo is here if anyone else would like to audit https://github.com/t3dotgg/vsc-material-but-i-wont-sue-you
hi, maintainer of the fork here
just did a pass and removed everything that was not necessary - it's even less code now lmao

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only potential risk was the use of sanity to render a changelog. I didn't want to risk it, so I gutted that and a ton of other stuff. Just published a new, stripped down version.

Hi, owner of the fork here.
I did a thorough combing of the code base when I forked. Just did another audit and still not seeing anything suspicious. Gutting all of the opencollective and changelog code to be 1000% sure.
Oh hey, that's me! Not surprised this guy went kind of insane tbh
We do - we're using a really powerful hosted cluster at Azure (they have an exclusive licensing deal with OpenAI).
Excluding the client performance wins, we're up to 2x faster than ChatGPT.com using the same model https://x.com/ryandavogel/status/1878647963507163431
This is a weird thing to post on HN
I've been using Affinity's suite exclusively for about 4 years now and I haven't looked back once. Briefly tried Photoshop again for the generative AI stuff and it was slow, unreliable and crashed multiple times.
HIGHLY recommend giving Affinity a shot, I've edited thousands of images with Photo and I can't imagine using anything else now.
If a mechanic didn’t know how to use a hammer, I’d fault the mechanic for sure.
Anyone who makes business decisions around what tech to use based on the creator posting memes is 100% NGMI.
Honestly I love how many of y'all self own with this. Keep using old, worse technologies. Us startups will take every advantage we can get :)
This is really dope and I've wanted something like it for at least 3 years now. Great work!
I’m lucky enough to get paid by the companies I’ve shipped on top of for years. I take a huge financial hit by working with them and not working with bigger companies that I dislike.
Here are my options: - Take no sponsors, make no money, stop YouTube - Work my ass off to convince companies I trust that it’s worth supporting my channel - Grift away to whoever will pay the most
I think I found a good balance. Nobody has ever paid me to say something I don’t believe. I am confident in every recommendation I’ve ever made.
In the article, he has a CodePen embedded that would be UNUSABLE if it didn't have decent custom scroll bars. This post is so egregiously bad.
I haven't been able to push for a bit now
AT&T? I'm in SF
It’s pretty clear these issues were beyond what traditional support was capable of. If you had reached out to someone like Lee earlier it’s likely your experience would have been much better
Vercel’s definitely in a weird place, trying to be the home for innovation while also offering more traditional support. While the support experience you had was less than ideal, you’re also failing to recognize that you are bleeding edge a bit here.
Your reply here makes it really hard to take any of what you’ve done in good faith. Lee has been incredible to work with and I commend his efforts here
I haven't fallen in love with a piece of software this quickly in so long
The origin story of how zemnmez found this is so hilarious
i got tricked into finding some 0days in vscode because I got asked to review a vscode based project and didn't notice the 1P devs had only made one minor change to it. actually not a joke
Hi - I didn't "make" this but my community did and I'm so proud of what they made. Happy to take any and all questions!
Just posted a Youtube video about our new docs launch as well https://youtu.be/OSOxlR44x4k
HUGE launch so hyped
If you're not using OBS, Ping is not for you (just yet).
OBS is the Linux of the live video space. It's a necessary piece of every professional live creator's pipe. We're the first solution in the space building INTO OBS instead of ignoring it
Lots of solutions like StreamYard and ReStream Studio exist if you're looking for "easier OBS in the browser" - we're targeting a different group
100% agree. Thought I’d hate it and it’s been a huge productivity win
Fantastic little piece of hardware. I got in somewhat late, especially as a content creator, but man has this tiny keyboard made managing my setup so, so much simpler
