New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Who is using MCP in production?

Ask HN: Who is using MCP in production? 4 by sukit | 1 comments on Hacker News. I’ve been following MCP since it first came out. It got a lot of attention early on, but I haven’t come across many people using it in production. I may simply have missed them. If you’re using MCP in production, what are you using it for? What advantages have you found over a normal API or direct tool integration or just CLI?

Ask HN: Are Technical Blogs Dead? 4 by quaintdev | 6 comments on Hacker News. I think the traffic for technical blogs has plummeted. Why would anyone searh for technical blog when they can just ask their agent about it? Also I am seeing less and less of them here on hacker news.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Advice on Migrating from 1Password?

Ask HN: Advice on Migrating from 1Password? 3 by 0xbadcafebee | 1 comments on Hacker News. I just found out that 1Password is donating $300,000 to a project founded by a very controversial person, and I'm looking to move to a different password manager. Has anyone migrated from 1Password recently to another tool/platform? Have you had a good experience with any tools in particular? Any advice, tips? I'm also interested in the corporate-use context; if I can convince my company to switch to an alternative with business controls, I'll surely try.

New ask Hacker News story: Resources to Get Good at Soldering?

Resources to Get Good at Soldering? 4 by tosmatos | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hello. I've recently started soldering, specifically wanting to repair the joysticks on several Playstation 4 controllers I have, but I also want to get good at electronic repair in general. Right now I've busted a board, and managed to desolder and resolder a stick but the controller doesn't turn on anymore. I'm doing this all by myself, and I think I'm following good advice (ventilation, good iron tip, using flux etc...). But there are many variables, and a lot of experts have different opinions on stuff. Does anyone know good resources that I could use for getting good and making less mistakes ? Thanks.

New ask Hacker News story: Were Claude's Weekly Limits Cut in Half? (and obscured by another 50% "deal"?)

Were Claude's Weekly Limits Cut in Half? (and obscured by another 50% "deal"?) 2 by benwills | 0 comments on Hacker News. The "50% higher" capacity through August 31 ended last night. Until then, 100% use of a 5-hour session would use 10% of my weekly capacity. Today, there's a new "50% higher" capacity message through September 13. But I'm burning capacity at 2x the rate. 100% of a 5-hour session is now using 20% of my weekly capacity, not 10%. Is anyone else seeing this? I'm on a max plan, btw.

Ask HN: Anyone homeschooling their kids? 4 by wbnns | 2 comments on Hacker News. Looks like it's been a long time since this question was asked. Anyone on HN homeschooling their kids?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Does HN block mobile browsers?

Ask HN: Does HN block mobile browsers? 3 by pbohun | 4 comments on Hacker News. Recently I have been unable to visit hn from my mobile phone over the cellular network. I have standard Android and I've tried multiple browsers including Firefox, Chrome, and Brave. I don't need or want to login while I'm about so I was trying to reach the site without an account. If I'm connected to a wifi network then everything works. Is this the result of a method to keep out bots that is over zealous?
