You can get to it wherever you want. Copilot CLI is pretty great: https://github.com/features/copilot/cli

There's support in VS Code and Jetbrains IDEs. You can access your agent sessions on the web.

(I work at GitHub, but not on Copilot)

I was thinking the same. Especially now that Obsidian has a CLI to work with the vault.

The one thing I saw in the README is that lat has a format for source files to link back to the lat.md markdown, but I don't see why you couldn't just define an "// obs:wikilink" sort of format in your AGENTS.md

Seems plausible. Travel (some international), hotels, taxis, venues, food, and entertainment. It adds up. Probably not a single day event.

As a heavy Meetup user, I can say that Bending Spoons absolutely fixed some glaring, long-standing bugs. But their massive price increases have really driven people away, and some of their attempts to grab more money (Meetup+) really rankled a lot of people. Also, search still sucks.

According to the article, the judge's memorandum said about index data access:

> Google must provide Web Search Index data (URLs, crawl metadata, spam scores) at marginal cost.

I'm guessing that the "marginal cost" of a search is small and it's not connected to the how much ad revenue that search is worth.

New comment by dangoor in "Why we built Lightpanda in Zig"

Something interesting about your comment is that HN also has a post today (https://tigerbeetle.com/blog/2025-10-25-synadia-and-tigerbee...) about TigerBeetle's support for Zig and their reason for using Zig specifically talked about wanting something for a long time horizon:

> Investing in creating a database like TigerBeetle is a long term effort. Databases tend to have a long half life (e.g. Postgres is 30 years old). And so, while Zig being early in 2020 did give me pause, nevertheless Zig’s quality, philosophy and simplicity made sense for a multi-decade horizon.

Synadia's announcement, https://www.synadia.com/blog/synadia-tigerbeetle-zig-foundat..., says:

> There are no plans to move the NATS server to Zig.

> Zig will become a Tier 1 NATS client, and Synadia will utilize Zig in resource constrained environments to bridge OT/IT for manufacturing, IIOT, connected cars, robotics and embodied AI.

> I wonder why folks who start with roughly the same skills, intelligence and opportunities (and bank account balance!) can nevertheless end up in very different places?

External factors (aka luck), perhaps? Someone gets their resume into a job just after they made the last hire for that position. Or the car they can't afford to fix breaks down on the way to the interview.

Cloudflare has a gmail competitor?

New comment by dangoor in "Ask HN: My family business runs on a 1993-era text-based-UI (TUI). Anybody else?"

dangoor — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 18:51:29 +0000

This is something I've wondered about. I started out in the green screen era and remember how amazingly quick those UIs were to navigate. I don't see any reason why we couldn't replicate much of that UX and development model, but deliver it to web browsers with graphical capabilities in the parts of the system that need it.

I feel like mouse+keyboard is a step down in speed of use for many tasks, but I do wonder about touch screens. For some things, touch screens can be plenty fast and the UI adapts to the task.

Curious why you say this. It says in the readme it can do 100K lines per second.

Or maybe they'll buy it, like they did with Workflow.

New comment by dangoor in "Why I wrote the BEAM book"

dangoor — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 16:05:59 +0000

I don't know if publishers manage to get better deals from Amazon, but Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing has an annoying aspect that the ebook royalty rate falls from 70% to 30% after $9.99, which gets very awkward for a tech book you'd like to sell for, say, $19.99.

Also, piracy is rampant and Amazon doesn't do much about it. Publishers have more resources to stay on top of it, I suspect.

New comment by dangoor in "MCP is the coming of Web 2.0 2.0"

dangoor — Fri, 23 May 2025 16:44:06 +0000

It has become a de facto standard. There are many implementations of MCP. We'll have to see if it fizzles out or if some reasonable stewardship/governance come about, but it is very much possible for something to be a standard even without a standards body.

I didn't see any sort of license in the repository. If your intention is that people can self-host, it would be nice to include some sort of license so that it's clear what the terms of use are for self-hosting.

Neat looking project! Thanks for sharing!

Perhaps over fears of their shows getting leaked early. Apple apparently has people using Remote Desktop for severance: https://tedium.co/2025/03/29/severance-apple-remote-editing-...
