    Strong disagree, I use tools like DeepWiki, Mintlify, Cubic daily to analyze complex codebases. Their diagrams on PRs and generated docs have made it much easier to quickly drop in…

    I have never seen anyone pull off seccomp nested sandboxing of Chrome in Docker before, if you manage to figure it out please let me know!

    https://github.com/archiveteam/grab-site or browsertrix may be easier to use for some, it's what was used to save a lot of the data.gov stuff before it got taken down.

    Very curious if they're implementing browser driving themselves or using an off-the-shelf library like stagehand, browser-use, etc. to drive the DOM. Hopefully they open source it …

    I don't care what country they are from if after 15 years they cant figure out how to make a camera that doesn't reset its clock every time you recharge it.

    Good riddance, GoPro squandered their market lead for many years and shipped bafflingly mediocre software that seemed to add more bugs with every generation. I hope Insta360, DJI, …

    You're off by at least 3 orders of magnitude, anodization is like 1,000x~5,000x thicker (5~25µm) than the natural oxide coating (~5nm).

    Yes but anodization implies thickness around ~5–25 micrometers (µm) for aluminum. The natural oxide coating is ~2-5 nano meters (1,000–5,000× less thick).
