Launch HN: Runtime (YC P26) – Sandboxed coding agents for everyone on a team
Hey HN, We’re Gus and Carlos from Runtime ( https://runtm.com). We’re building infra that lets your whole team (including non-engineers) ship with Claude Code, Codex, and other agents without engineering having to handhold every session.

After Mentum (YC S21) was acquired, I personally shipped 4 full-stack products in 3 months using coding agents. When I tried to roll the same workflow out to the rest of the team, it fell apart: Most PRs were unme … ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » @lyse I don’t know a number (wait, why can’t I google a Wetterbericht but only a Wettervorhersage?!), but it was enough for public transportation to shut down. 😅 I think I saw around five trucks on the side of the road who couldn’t continue, too icy. Some cars stranded.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Found some numbers now, they’re saying it was around 10cm in 3-4 hours. I don’t know, felt like more. 😂 The forecast wasn’t really good either, now that I think about it. They said there’s going to be some snow, okay, fine, but then, boom.

Haha, that old ad is lovely. Those days are over. 🤣

In-reply-to » Just showelled 20cm of snow for half an hour, fuck me! I'm totally shattered. But it's worth it. Looks so beautiful. And all the disbelief and terror in the eyes of the people. Well, that's what our winters were like three decades ago. I'm just glad that I can work from home.

I’ve got sore muscles. The sticky snow couldn’t be pushed, it had to be laborously cleared shovel by shovel. :-D

In my lunch break, I went on a short stroll. Oh boy, walking through deep damp snow is exhausting! There were sections with easily 30 centimeters and more. Some big wind drifts had piled up. Despite melting off quickly in the 4°C, especially turning the trees brown again, the white landscape still looks so nice. I’m glad these road marking sticks finally came in handy for the snow plow guys. :-) The black and orange stripes are 30 cm high.

That’s probably it. There’s no significant snowfall announced for the rest of the week and temperatures are supposed to stay in the 2-4°C range by day.

“A fotógrafa alemã Alice Brill, que desde o ano 2000 tem sua coleção de 14 mil negativos sob a guarda do IMS, trouxe a fotografia na bagagem quando veio da Alemanha para o Brasil, fugindo do nazismo. Alice tinha 14 anos quando a família aqui desembarcou em 1934 para encontrar a mãe, que viera na frente, e trazia na bagagem “uma minicâmera Agfa, tipo caixão”, que fazia fotos 3 x 4 e com a qual registrou suas impressões da viagem pela Espanha e Itália, que precedeu a aprovação dos papéis de imigração. A câmera era presente do pai, Erich Brill, um pintor viajante e artista plástico que, dois anos depois, não tendo se firmado em São Paulo, voltou à Alemanha e morreu em 1942, num campo de concentração. Alice seguiu seus passos profissionais com firmeza, fazendo-se artista plástica, gravadora e ensaísta, além de fotógrafa.”

My mate and I went on a hike earlier. Yesterday, we had lovely 12°C. But today, it was down to at most 4°C. Oh well. At least the sun was out and and there was just a tiny bit of wind. We knew upfont that scarf, beanie and gloves were mandatory. Especially at the more windy sections like up top the hills. The view was absolutely terrible, but we made the best of it.

With the sun shining on us during our lunch break at a forest edge bench, we still enjoyed the lookout in 01. I brought some old carpet scraps to sit on and was happily surprised that they isolated even better than I had hoped for. Some hot tea helped us staying warm.

After five hours we returned just after sunset. I’m quite tired now, completely out of shape.

Wow, as I anticipated, this is waaay out of my capabilities to really understand it. But I’m quite happy to just have spotted a mistake in an explanatory comment in section 4.5.2 “The icode Array”. Of course, it should be /e + tc + /i + ni + t\0. Let’s hope that my e-mail with the patch actually makes it into Briam’s inbox. I fear GMail just hides it in the spam folder.

Steps to world domination:

  1. “Invent” “AI” (by using other people’s data).
  2. Get people hyped about it and ideally hooked on it.
  3. Only provide it as a cloud service. But hey, if you want to, you can run it locally!
  4. Buy all hardware available on the market, so that nobody but you can build more systems.
  5. All PCs of consumers and competitors are too weak now and can’t be upgraded anymore.
  6. Everybody depends on your cloud service! Win!

All of that is possible because corporations don’t have a “conscience” in capitalism. Nobody forces the RAM manufacturers to sell all their stuff to just one or two buyers, but since the only goal of that manufacturer is to make money, they do it.

The tt URLs View now automatically selects the first URL that I probably are going to open. In decreasing order, the URL types are:

  1. markdown media URLs (images, videos, etc.)
  2. markdown or plaintext URLs
  3. subjects
  4. mentions

I might differentiate between mentions of subscribed and unsubscribed feeds in the future. The odds of opening a new feed over an already existing one are higher.

In-reply-to » Advent of Code 2025 starts tomorrow. 🥳🎄

Alright, Advent of Code is over:

https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-12-12/0/POSTING-en.html

It’s been quite the time sink, especially with the DOS games on top, but it was fun. 🥳

In case you’re wondering: All puzzles (except for part 2 of day 10) were doable in Python 1 on SuSE Linux 6.4 and ran in a finite time on the Pentium 133. Puzzle 10/2 might have been doable as well if I had better education. 🤣

FWIW, day 03 and day 04 where solved on SuSE Linux 6.4:

Performance really is an issue. Anything is fast on a modern machine with modern Python. But that old stuff, oof, it takes a while … 😅

Should have used C or Java. 🤪 Well, maybe I do have to fall back on that for later puzzles. We’ll see.

Advent of Code 2025 starts tomorrow. 🥳🎄

This year, I’m going to use Python 1 on SuSE Linux 6.4, writing the code on my trusty old Pentium 133 with its 64 MB of RAM. No idea if that old version of Python will be fast enough for later puzzles. We’ll see.

In-reply-to » And regarding those broken URLs: I once speculated that these bots operate on an old dataset, because I thought that my redirect rules actually were broken once and produced loops. But a) I cannot reproduce this today, and b) I cannot find anything related to that in my Git history, either. But it’s hard to tell, because I switched operating systems and webservers since then …

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Probably wouldn’t help, since almost every request comes from a different IP address. These are the hits on those weird /projects URLs since Sunday:

    1 IP  has  5 hits
    1 IP  has  4 hits
   13 IPs have 3 hits
  280 IPs have 2 hits
25543 IPs have 1 hit

The total number of hits has decreased now. Maybe the botnet has moved on …

** Autumnal week notes **
Someone I grew up with happened to go to the same college as me, and now we happen to live in the same relatively small city. We’ve been totally casual but pretty consistent mainstays of each others’ lives for going on 20 years at this point. She’s also one of the few people that I run into who knows that I can’t actually see well enough to reliably tell people apart from any further away than like 4 or 5 feet, and I always feel really appreciative whenever she waves that she also always says“hi” and who … ⌘ Read more
