🚀 Explore this awesome post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: đź’ˇ **What You’ll Learn**: This is a simple code exploration, inspired by (and stollen from) https://iventions.com/, saw it on X here. In this example, I'm trying to implement a menu that is revealed when the user clicks on a button. With HTML+CSS only. No JS. There are two clip-paths: The menu is revealed by a circle that grows from the top-left corner of the screen to the bottom-right corner. A fun clip-path calculation that I used here (clip-path: circle(calc(1.42 * 100vmax) at 0 0);) is based on the vmax,…

🔥 Check out this awesome post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: âś… **What You’ll Learn**: I’ve been passionate about writing “Good Code™” since before I started my career, beginning way back when I was still a kid in middle school. What is “Good Code™“? Good Question™ :) Good Code is code that is easy to read and understand. Good Code is code that is pleasing to develop with and maintain. Good Code is code that exists for a specific reason, and no more. Good Code is a product of the rare combination of talent, experience, passion, and the investment…

You Are Here – Marc’s Blog

✨ Read this insightful post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Where to next? The cost of turning written business logic into code has dropped to zero. Or, at best, near-zero. The cost of integrating services and libraries, the plumbing of the code world, has dropped to zero. Or, at best, near-zero. The cost of building efficient, reliable, secure, end-to-end systems is starting to drop, but slowly. Where does that leave those of us who have built careers in technology? Our road diverges. Not into the undergrowth of a wood, but into a dense fog. The…

Speed up responses with fast mode

Speed up responses with fast mode

🔥 Discover this must-read post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Fast mode is in research preview. The feature, pricing, and availability may change based on feedback. Fast mode delivers faster Opus 4.6 responses at a higher cost per token. Toggle it on with /fast when you need speed for interactive work like rapid iteration or live debugging, and toggle it off when cost matters more than latency. Fast mode is not a different model. It uses the same Opus 4.6 with a different API configuration that prioritizes speed over cost efficiency. You get identical quality…

Notepad on my Windows PC broke thanks to Microsoft’s servers

✨ Read this awesome post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: đź’ˇ **What You’ll Learn**: A couple of weeks ago, I found that I couldn't open Notepad on my desktop PC. It wasn't because Windows 11 had crashed, but rather, Microsoft told me it wasn't "available in (my) account". It turned out that an error (0x803f8001) with Microsoft Store's licensing service stopped me from opening a few first-party apps, including the Snipping Tool.Yes, even the app I usually use to screenshot error messages was busted. Ironic. Now, I'm usually a fairly level-headed Windows enthusiast who can relate to users who…

I didn’t ask for a robot to consume every blog post and piece of code I ever wrote and parrot it back so that some hack could make money off of it. I didn’t ask for the role of a programmer to be reduced to that of a glorified TSA agent, reviewing code to make sure the AI didn’t smuggle something dangerous into production. And yet here we are. The worst fact about these tools is…
