It's four pages below the fold. The fact this is a paid tool is deliberately obscured.

> if (!line.accept('[').isEmpty() ) // [section] header. Is this really ergonomic?

Because IOT devices are cheap and networks are ad hoc, flaky connectivity is a likely occurrence. Thread must be reliable in these situations.

How many houses in Britain have wiring that is less than 800 W away from starting a fire? How many of those houses have the disposable income to buy a plug in battery? Yes, more el…

Come on, "not publicly available"? You know how git works right? Each Claude release probably has the HEAD of main compiled as "1.4.0" until there is a real official release.

Paying customers get LTS. Are any paying customers asking for a Zig branch LTS? Or are you expecting open source maintainers to do free work for no particular reason?

AI training uses wildly more compute than most companies, who are generally building domain specific CRUD apps. Compare AI costs per-engineer-salary-dollar, because more expensive …

It was Gemini Flash, probably an even faster variant optimised for immediate response on search pages.

Showing overseas based workers of Microsoft as another company name on caller ID is a phishing risk.

It might take a large org several years to migrate off core systems like VMWare. If you think the customer is likely to churn within a few years anyway it makes economic sense to h…

As the article mentions towards the end, AWS EKS, GCP GKE, and other competitors have made k8s setup turnkey. You can deploy a new cluster with all the controllers you mentioned in…

AWS ECS and GCP Cloud Run are this. Run a container on abstract compute. But they aren't "without all that complexity" because it turns out all that complexity is required for even…

If the real credentials owner was running the agent, why do it from a new GitHub account? Someone's bug tracker account was hacked.

Firstly, none of this post is the contract people are signing. So it's merely a summary. Secondly, like all contracts I'm sure there will be exceptions for holding data longer than…

NPM is getting all the attacks and attention because it is the biggest. But there's nothing language specific to this class of attacks.

Nice. It would have been interesting to dive into the exact differences in components. Are higher wattage PSUs in a series just using higher rated components or does the quality go…

I agree that many skills are overblown and unnecessary. But there's a lot of value in giving AI the right process. See how much more effective Claude can be for moderate or large c…

There can be problems with open source projects run by for-profit companies, but this fork seems a little premature.

And it's unnecessarily rude. Grammarly and Hemingway can identify the same sort of issues without "you are a stupid robot" vibes.

If Finney and Back were working together, why does Finney post a lot as himself through Satoshi's existence while Back does not? That implies it's just Back who was the Satoshi pos…

Doesn't that break password manager autofill?

"I'm trying to do something illegal and Anthropic are aware. Why do they keep banning me??"

Claude is leaning into the idea of a local "session" being the host where everything connects. I guess this makes sense for now. You can build integrations leveraging the user's pe…

I wish sudo-rs and all projects being used in production would suck it up and release a major version v1. Seeing v0.xxx on a program used by Ubuntu as a base system utility is ridi…
