But generally: good luck! I've thought something like this was needed for a while. I've considered building similar things in the past, and always couldn't figure out how to get a critical mass of users. Here's hoping you succeed where I didn't even try.

A few thoughts:

One 5 star rating is worse than 1000 4.5 average ratings. There's a few ways to deal with this, Bayesian average is one.

I think for most aggregate ratings, thumbs up/down is all the useful signal you can get. If you're reading a review, it can be useful to see someone say "I gave this 3.5 stars instead of 4 because the last time I went there the fries were cold." However, on aggregate, that distinction becomes almost entirely lost given 1) peoples varying rating schemes (my 4 could be your 3 stars) and 2) often lovers/haters will just give 5/0 stars, drowning out any nuance. That's why Steam and Netflix switched to thumbs up/down.

The categories are wonky--under TV shows I found Netflix, a video game franchise, running shoes (!)... Maybe have user generated tags?

> visual studio appears to be highest rated product with 2 ratings

That's why Bayesian average is superior; if you don't have enough ratings you basically get assigned the average for all products (or, likely, all similar products in this case).

Then just wait until the next administration. If they are building with technology that relies on the FCC being gutted, they will be in for a world of hurt when that changes.

"Habit" is another anagram you could have used, and not esoteric.

Hamlet is set in (what is currently) the past. It is self consistent. Neuromancer is set partially in the future, and partially what is our past. The inconsistency is what throws people. It can be a good book, but people might still find those elements jarring.

It’s great that he has that caveat, but it’s buried under the “Tech Info” tab. Meanwhile, the header says “yes -- I'm the inventor,” and there is no mention of the knots actual history in the “History” page, only how he “invented” it.

I could see there being use for putting a name for it if there wasn't one before. You can do that without pretending you invented it, though.

My problem with it isn't what he calls it, it's that he claims to have invented it. It would be fine if he said, "yes, other people have been using this knot for decades, but I like to call it Ian's knot."

Would it bother you if I started re-wrote the Wikipedia article on the hot dog in an attempt to convince everyone I invented it? And if people started believing that?

A bit off topic, but I hate that Ian just slapped his name on a knot and people call it that. He even has a little link on there saying "Yes I'm the inventor," which, if you click on it, amounts to "trust me bro." That knot was how my father learned to tie his shoes in the 60s, so Ian must have time-traveled back after "inventing" it in '82.

Wait I thought standard practice was to leave $1 to show that they were considered and purposefully removed from the will? Does that fail in court?

I don't think it would be me accusing you of having a small penis (since of course you don't). It's me accusing someone named romcade4321 of being a generally shitty person, and also having a small penis. If you think romcade4321 is a reference to you, you would have to prove the similarity between them and you (maybe by dropping your trousers in court?)

I think that is a bad example. I haven't heard of Jewish people being offended by Ferengi, but anti-Semitic depictions are very often exactly "ugly, greedy people" (just look at any Nazi propaganda). Once it becomes a common thread it works less as a defense.

I imagine "small hands" would similarly work poorly as a defense against a defamation suit from Trump: he doesn't have to claim he has small hands, only that he is often depicted as having them.

> the mods just don't like Odin as a language

Seems to be pretty explicit that they don't like the language, not the creator or his political views. I don't like Java, the few times I was forced to use it I hated it, but I don't even know who the creators are.

Like someone else said, for someone to go through such lengths to claim many of their points, it's a pretty tenuous connection to hang half your article on.

But the Gleam Wikipedia page is littered with references? Including to the 2025 Stack Overflow survey page, which has gleam very high on "want to learn" but doesn't have Odin at all...

Why would it be the same percentage increase? RAM is only one component of the whole machine. "We were going to sell our airplane for $10 million, but one screw doubled in price so now we're selling it for $20 million."

Unless I'm missing a transcript somewhere, this is missing an [audio] tag.

> The underlying reason is that paper does not stretch

I don't think that's sufficient--tinfoil doesn't stretch, but it doesn't fold nearly as neatly as paper.

They’re adding vibecoded shortcuts (the high level scripting for Apple devices). Hopefully that means they worked out some of the long-existing bugs and missing features, but I’m not optimistic. Still, could be a useful tool, especially for less tech-literate people.

But then they say A + A <= A^2, wouldn’t that be false for a = 1?

I stopped reading earlier, when they used superscript without explaining its meaning. Its clearly meant for someone with more domain expertise than me, with my hazy recollections of college math.

Why do you think their comment is AI generated? I didn’t get that from it but I’m no expert.

There would have to be a person pretending to be blind on the other side of the phone call, recording your answers. At that point is it not just easier to have that person do the labeling themselves?

Apple runs on-device on older models, too, just wimpier models.

That’s the app. Or vision-impaired, at least.

I am unable to assign different numbers to battle slots. On iOS I could just drag them, on firefox nothing seems to work.

I disagree. There is more content out there than I can read in many lifetimes, so I have to be selective. LLM generated text (like any text) can be well put together on the surface level but require deeper consideration to see the flaws, and of course this takes more effort than the writing did.

A human-written piece indicates someone believes in it enough to put in enough effort to write it up nicely, so it works as a heuristic of underlying quality.

> moved a lot of stuff "inside" the engine

The level that they managed to fit everything inside of a simple-looking package was so high that the CEO of ULA (the Boeing/Lockheed Martin rocket company) thought they were lying when they first showed pictures [1].

It seems like running with sandbox-exec should remove pretty much all the potential for an app to cause harm… is there a reason why it’s not the default, especially for these certificate-less apps?

I don’t think steam needs Rosetta anymore.
