This is RustyRusell of Linux kernel fame. This is kind of the evidence that he want for a claim. First hand. Not what we just read from the NYT article.

> Adam could have released the email metadata and that would have absolved him, but he didn’t.

What if he gives an metadata that doesn't reveal anything? Then, you'd argue that he did that metadata.

My problem with this article is, it came on the same day when Trump was shouting that "He will end an entire civilization". WTF are their priorities in the first place.

Secondly, as a technical person reading this written for a non-technical audience, it reads like the journalist wanted his high for most and nothing else.

This is media in action. Confuse and gaslight folks so that they stand to accept people like Trump and Elon musk.

> as if helping destroy an autocratic terror regime that killed thousands of Americans through the years is "dirty”?

> How come HN became so extreme left it can't understand this is a good thing?

Good Thing? How deranged are you to say something without proof and accuse others of a being left, when people are being normal.

> Ignoring politics has its way of coming back to haunt you. Back then this was an unpopular take.

Right now, we cannot and should not. Even if you ignore, you are getting dragged into without your choice. See: the bribes paid by the companies.

At this moment, I think we should have politics in left, right and center of our workplaces and life discussions everywhere. If you are not explicit with your stance then you are going to dragged along without your choice.

This is reflection of corruption in the system that you cannot escape. No one is calling out Trump on his corruption, illegal use of powers and pathetic behavior, killing of people and setting up world war 3. And we call out others. We need to stay strong. If it comes to world war 3, we all lose.

They changed the name and it matches the intention. It is not a newspeak name anymore.

I am ready to pay for this. This is useful tool (even as there are many self-hosted options).

Everything evolved into a marketing platform right now. It is innately driven by the human desire for power, control and greed. There are very humans that recognize it and act in beneficial ways when power is given to them. With the rest, we get what we have right now. That’s normal thing with humans. We want to market to others, show our power, and we want to be marketed by powerful hoping we will become like them.

Is it possible to add clean reader support so that all articles can be browsed in a similar format?

The biggest problem is the "trust" that users have with the Apple News ecosystem. They pay for it too!

Show HN: I wrote an implementation of the game Hitori using Claude Code

orsenthil — Sun, 18 Jan 2026 19:19:28 +0000

It is a puzzle that I developed after looking at a game called Hitori in Linux. I was studying the architecture of it and noted down how that game was written.

I thought that I should make an implementation of it.

I tried to make a Django implementation where Django serves as the backend and the frontend is in JavaScript. I set up the foundation for it and then pointed Claude Code to the original implementation of Hitori, which is written in C in Linux. I asked it to develop a similar one for a client-server architecture that I could play in a web browser using a Python backend and JavaScript frontend.

I enabled it in agent mode and gave it to dangerously skip permissions. I asked it to implement the game and gave some Yes's for the prompts it asked, then went about with it. I had asked it to make a game and then went to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I saw that the complete game was implemented. To my surprise, I didn't have to do anything. The whole game was there and I just played it. I was like, "Oh my goodness." I was amazed for a full day at what had just happened.

But then, to take it further, I thought there should be a login system and game board improvements. That took some time, and then I deployed it on a Kubernetes cluster. Even that was easy - I didn't have to do anything.

This is the first game I developed where I didn't have to open an editor or IDE at all. I did everything completely from the command prompt. This was something new. I thought I should capture this moment, so I'm writing about it in my blog. That's pretty much it.

You can enjoy playing this game at https://hitori.learntosolveit.com
