Thoughts on AI, the tech stack, and the indie hacker journey.
The RC landed on 13 August with one command that migrates most of an app. The parts that will actually cost you time are the Svelte 5 and Vite 8 floor, the alias rename, and the tsconfig change.
DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp costs exactly what the text model costs. As of 00:00 Beijing time today, Saturdays and Sundays bill at the off-peak rate all day, which halves the cost of anything you can defer.
The v2.0 preview lands client/server mode, triggers, and a recursive CTE that went from 4.90 seconds to 0.12. For a one-person stack the real question is which running service this lets you turn off.
No court has ruled on whether request-and-wait distribution satisfies the licence. That ambiguity is the point, and it is a lesson about how open source degrades that has nothing to do with Android.
The Golden Gate beta man page tells you to use diskutil image instead. The replacement is faster, and it drops six flags plus the auth prompt your packaging step has quietly depended on for years.
Anna's Archive is recruiting volunteer scanners because AI labs are buying rare books and destroying them. The court record says the enforceable line was never about training, it was about how the copy was obtained.
The median still-live leaked AWS key is 1,831 days old. The oldest is 17.4 years old. Rotation is the rare event, not the leak.
Every agent tool wanted its own directory layout, so publishing one skill to five clients meant maintaining five packages. Distribution cost, not capability, is what kills side projects.
The attacker did not touch arrayref's source code. They added one dependency, then yanked every clean release so Cargo would nag you into upgrading to the poisoned one.
