I wouldn’t write Zig off yet. The faster compilation time is a giant moat. Depending on how LLM usage evolves it could be what ends up mattering.

I think Sam Altman is an asshole and I prefer to spend my money elsewhere. Frontier models being commoditize is inevitable. OpenAI thinks they're still competing on technology, and…

Carrion Comfort is still one of the most creepy horror books I've ever read and is seldom mentioned when we talk about Dan Simmons.

You listed common items you think may be counterfeits, and all your effort in checking, but fail to mention av single time you _actually_ ran into a counterfeit. I'm sure if it occ…

No. Why the hell would I use Angular 1.x style directives in 2026? For the simple contact form and todo apps, why would I even use client side scripting? Go away.

You've been spamming this in a few threads. A private business can 100% refuse service to you. Examples with regards to "delegation": - If you come in using a form of non-cash paym…

... maybe you don't get it? _Telling the browser how you want the DOM manipulated_ isn't the expensive part. You can do this just fine with Javascript. The browser _actually redraw…

It's winning by default because _there is nothing materially better_. React was _materially_ better than Ember, Angular, plain JQuery, etc. at the time. Front-end engineers have no…

And this is good or matters to customers because?

I took a workshop class and was told to setup a track saw. The course didn't bother explaining how to utilize it properly or protect yourself. I ended up losing a finger. I truly h…

The biggest funders of basic research are those with the most resources. This is your insight? I don't think anyone disagrees. Then you conflate correlation with causation and move…

As a long time Kagi user, the thing I miss the most is Google Maps integration for search results. It's nice to search for a restaurant or an address, see results for it, and with …

It's a great marketing strategy. People without broadband access will truly feel it when they visit.

Consider what companies are launching these days and the talent they need to do it. It's AI companies, it's hardware, it's hard science. It's fewer Uber for pet grooming. There's l…

Your replies here have been less than useless. I clicked on your profile and saw you were "founder and CEO" of some company. I guarantee you I won't be using your product. Just som…

It’s insane the excuses being made here for Netflix’s apparently unique circumstances. They failed. Full stop. There is no valid technical reason they couldn’t have had a smooth ex…

Or, hear me out here, it's a wild concept, just work. You know, like every other broadcaster, streaming platform, and company that does live content has been able to do. Acting lik…
