Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I couldn't complete when I got to the 8 first/second - for many of them they are "equally bad". Me answering first or second is therefore arbitrary, but I can't express that choice. 100
Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I hate it, but then I'm Swedish. I tried subscribe to NYT. But even interesting articles have a human angle – no matter science, war, politics. It always starts with some personal tragedy you have to wade through to get any stats or facts. JUST GIVE ME THE FUCKING NEWS! 180

Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Hard agree. I ran out of usage on Codex, so decided to try some Claude again – and I regret it. So insufferably slow and verbose. Productivity down the drain. 110
Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 26/07/2026I want to be excited about Apple TV doing Neuromancer – it looks amazing! However every show I've watched there lately runs like 30-40 min per week and it's too short and abrupt when a season is like 8 episodes. tv.apple.com/us/show/neur...tv.apple.comWatch Neuromancer - Apple TVA disgraced superhacker and a razorgirl assassin are recruited for a high-stakes heist targeting a powerful corporate dynasty with untold wealth…and s… 000
Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 11/07/2026And lately I feel like Claude been running insanely slow to the point where it's affecting my productivity. 3-5 minutes wait for every single prompt is too much for my brain. I just zone out. 050
Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 04/07/2026In the discourse around Bungie, Destiny 2 vs Marathon, etc. I never heard anyone mention tech debt. A game released in 2017 that gone through a number of big release cycles, is probably not in a good place code wise. I'm sure any code I was involved in 2017 would be ripe for replacement :) 100

Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 03/05/2026I was like "groan" – Aren't we trying to increase adoption of AV1 still? I guess AV1 is never going to be great for low-latency streaming compression. Is that why you say "yessss"? 010

Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 27/04/2026I've been pondering app architecture in Rust. Complex applications, like teleconferencing, with many moving parts. I don't like Flux/Redux, reducers modifying a shared global store (state). The idea is "query-driven", like rust-analyzer, but simpler by using memoized fns for queries.github.com 100
Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 24/04/2026OMG I can't believe you said that. Just because I get off on being offended and my self-diagnosed letter combination needs a constant flow of injustices to rage about, doesn't make me an annoying internet leftist! I hereby cancel atrproto – there! I said it! 000
Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 23/04/2026I was joking. 5 years of german language in my youth taught me the basics ;) Swedish also does compound words and it looks broken if someone splits them. 120
Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 21/04/2026I like german, where you not only get unreasonably long words but also random capital letters thrown in the middle too. 211

Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 09/02/2026And while I acknowledge I'm not Shakira, I also think people should follow the law and the law should be evenly enforced. 000
Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Bigger scale: Lots of foreigners have overseas assets that technically have to be declared to the Spanish tax authority. But many don't do that. I had tax advisers telling me we should not declare because "you're not Shakira" (they only go after famous people) 100
Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Micro scale: jaywalking is not allowed in Spain, but it's very rarely enforced. You see people jaywalking in front of police all the time, and they do nothing. So when I hear about a friend getting caught for it, you have to wonder… why? Why was it enforced this time? 100
Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Spain going after X is not undivided great. I hate Elon Musk, but I also worry about the how laws and rules are enforced in Spain (and EU at large). Spain has many laws, but enforcement is arbitrary in the hands of politicians and the police. Thus the law is a power tool in the hands of the ruler. 100

Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 25/01/2026I'm sorry to hear that. FWIW, I always appreciate your input on lobsters. Because it's a smaller community, I spot you more there than on HN. But then, I mostly agree with you, so probably more impact on HN. Apart from jj. I'm not sure you're right about jj :) 140

Martin Algesten @algesten.bsky.social · 25/10/2025Why not force all captures to be named if you start enumerating any? Leave today’s inferred move as is, but make the new version explicit. If you name a single thing, you must name all. That way it’s super easy to see what’s captured and how. 100
