Posing armatures using 3D keypoints Published: 2026-01-13 | Origin: /r/programming The content discusses various methods to track human poses, ranging from using active sensors to machine learning techniques. The goal is to gather data from tracked markers to animate a 3D model's pose. The author mentions their experience with vtubing software, noting its limitations and their decision to create a custom solution. They explain the concept of skinning, where a skeleton's pose is represented by transformation matrices that describe bone orientations relative to a rest pose. The author also delves into the structure of a |

Simulating hardware keyboard input on Windows Published: 2026-01-13 | Origin: /r/programming AutoPTT 4.0.0 has been released, introducing FakerInput, a driver that simulates keyboard and mouse input via software. This enhancement is aimed at improving compatibility with various games and applications. Previously, AutoPTT relied on SendInput for input simulation, which can be easily detected and ignored by games using low-level hooks or raw input, particularly if they don't implement buffered raw input correctly. To overcome this limitation, the developer created AutoPTT Sidekick, a USB device that |

Quotes from "A Pattern Language" (Origin of Design Patterns) Published: 2026-01-12 | Origin: /r/programming The provided content appears to be a snippet of a PDF file, as indicated by the initial lines containing the PDF version and object identifiers. The actual content (which includes binary data) is not readable or interpretable in text form and seems to be part of an embedded stream within the PDF. Therefore, it cannot be summarized into coherent information without additional context regarding the contents of the PDF itself. If you can provide specific text or details from the PDF, I'd be happy to help summarize that. |

Cowork: Claude Code for the rest of your work Published: 2026-01-12 | Origin: Hacker News Claude Code's success in aiding coding led to the creation of Cowork, a tool designed for anyone to use Claude for various tasks, not just coding. Available as a research preview for Claude Max subscribers on macOS, Cowork allows users to grant Claude access to a folder on their computer, enabling it to read, edit, and create files. Unlike regular conversations, Cowork empowers Claude to independently plan and execute tasks while keeping users informed. It can handle tasks similar to those in Claude Code but |

There's a ridiculous amount of tech in a disposable vape Published: 2026-01-12 | Origin: Hacker News The author describes finding a discarded "Fizzy Max III 60K Rechargeable Disposable Vape" in a park and decides to take it home instead of throwing it away. Upon cleaning and charging it, they discover its advanced features, including a USB-C port, a display showing battery and vape fluid levels, and a setup resembling a cyberpunk design. The vape has three pairs of pins that heat the vape fluid, controlled by transistors, and activated by microphones that detect the user's sucking action. |

TimeCapsuleLLM: LLM trained only on data from 1800-1875 Published: 2026-01-12 | Origin: Hacker News The content discusses a language model (LLM) designed to reduce modern bias by being trained exclusively on historical data from specific time periods and locations. It emphasizes the importance of user feedback and provides a link to documentation for qualifiers. The model's progression is outlined, detailing its development through various versions, with v0.5 based on nanoGPT by Andrej Karpathy, v1 on Phi 1.5 from Microsoft, and v2 on llamaforcausallm. Early interactions with the |

Bring back opinionated architecture Published: 2026-01-12 | Origin: /r/programming The author discusses an email inquiry regarding their post on enterprise architecture, particularly a remark about architects using ambiguous language like "it depends." They reflect on how enterprise architecture, intended to provide clarity, often lacks it and how this contradiction warrants attention. Drawing from their background as a developer, the author shares a preference for highly opinionated frameworks that advocate a specific approach, as this simplifies understanding and communication. They emphasize the YAGNI (You ain't gonna need it) principle, criticizing the tendency to over-engine |

Date is out, Temporal is in Published: 2026-01-12 | Origin: Hacker News Mat Marquis reflects on his experiences with JavaScript, particularly appreciating its quirks and character while criticizing the Date constructor. He expresses disdain for the Date object, claiming it inaccurately represents time rather than dates, resulting in inconsistencies and limitations, particularly regarding time zone handling. Despite acknowledging JavaScript’s charm, he points out this major flaw, arguing that it remains a frustrating aspect of the language since its inception in 2018. In addition, there is a promotion offering a 15% discount on |

BTS of OpenTelemetry Auto-instrumentation Published: 2026-01-12 | Origin: /r/programming Elizabeth from SigNoz introduces a newsletter focused on observability, OpenTelemetry, and open-source engineering. As an OpenTelemetry advocate, she aims to share insights about the auto-instrumentation process, which collects telemetry data (traces, metrics, logs) from applications without requiring code changes. She explains the distinction between the OpenTelemetry API, used for creating telemetry data, and the SDK, which implements the API, managing telemetry processing and exporting. Auto-instrumentation relies on instrumentation hooks to invoke |

Vibe Coding Debt: The Security Risks of AI-Generated Codebases Published: 2026-01-12 | Origin: /r/programming In early 2025, Andrej Karpathy introduced the term "Vibe Coding," which describes the practice of developing applications primarily through natural language prompts using Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI agents. This method allows non-technical founders to build minimum viable products (MVPs) quickly but has given rise to a new challenge: Vibe Coding Debt. This form of debt encompasses significant security issues that arise from LLM-generated code, which tends to prioritize code that runs over secure code |

Floppy disks turn out to be the greatest TV remote for kids Published: 2026-01-12 | Origin: Hacker News Modern TVs are not well-suited for children, as they involve complicated remotes and apps that distract from intended viewing. This often results in children feeling powerless and reliant on adults to choose content, which can lead to passive screen time. To address this issue, the author aimed to create a user-friendly device for their 3-year-old son that promotes independence and choice. The device should be tangible and give the impression that media is physically stored, as opposed to being stored "in the cloud," and |

IKEA for Software Published: 2026-01-12 | Origin: Hacker News The company is developing a software platform for managing solar mini-grids, which includes an admin panel and mobile-friendly web apps for users to monitor and control the grids. The architecture features a standard IoT structure with a storage layer (Postgres, Timescale, and S3), a view layer (Vue web apps), and a business logic layer (NestJS services for timeseries data and transactions). Despite its conventional design, establishing a production-grade system took nearly a year due to the complexity of implementing |

YAML? That’s Norway problem Published: 2026-01-12 | Origin: /r/programming The content discusses Yaml, a human-readable data serialization language popular for configuration files. It references the use of PyYaml, Python's leading Yaml library, to parse Yaml files, highlighting a common issue known as the "Norway problem." This problem arises when the two-letter ISO country code for Norway ("NO") is misinterpreted as a boolean value (false) when parsed, due to its similarity to the English word "no." A suggested workaround is to escape the string by enclosing |
