I would rather see the data model be formally specified than the software be free.

New comment by compressedgas in "Ask HN: Does Window's "Set Time Automatically" feature require the correct time?"

compressedgas — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 14:34:53 +0000

Yes, the set time automatically requires the time to be set to sometime near the true time and then it will keep it from drifting. However as this is a VM you shouldn't need it as the VM host should have an option for the guest to follow the host's time. When the guest VM starts up, the host gives the guest the current time, after which the set time automatically option would work without issue even though it isn't needed as the guest time can't drift from the host time. Look in your VM host software's guest configuration for clock settings.

New comment by compressedgas in "HATEOAS Works with an LLM in the Mix"

compressedgas — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 22:12:21 +0000

But HATEOAS does not require an LLM. It only requires that the client be programmed against an interface and not an implementation. The interface is the resource types and the method names. The implementation is the specific URLs for resources and methods.
