This whole saga is just so bizarre

Lot of people in this thread not familiar with Hanlon's razor..

Obviously this could all just be incompetence. It's just a convenient excuse to do some more Mozilla-bashing, (lack of) facts be damned.

Not that any of this excuses the experience Gorhill had, of course.

I remember when Delphi could briefly compile to .NET.

Until you figure out the first excuse that works.

So... MVP?

It kinda feels like raising the Temperature of a LLM too high, if you'll forgive the analogy. Yes, there might be occasional-seemingly brilliant-bursts of creativity but most of the output is just going to be nonsense.

I feel so out of touch when I read a blog post which casually mentions 6 CNCF projects with kool names that I've never heard of, for gaining seemingly simple functionality.

I'm really wondering if I'm aging out of professional software development.

I don't think that's true. Even 2005 had a bit type and it's better optimized for space: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/data-types/bit-t...

I really appreciate all the effort you and your compatriots put into all of this.

People have, however, blocked .tk, .xyz, and other registrars that feature overwhelmingly in malware / scam domain lists.

Too damn right, and about time.

Seconding Bunny, I have several TB of video with them for a client and they do exactly as promised.

No scummy salesy tactics like I experienced from Cloudflare, and very quick and helpful support.

Not saying it's been completely bugless, but nothing worth complaining about.

This is a big deal, nobody would expect Google to fuck up this badly, least of all the parties who support Google's social login.

That means that, even if you don't want anything to do with Google at all, others could have impersonated you by registering a Google Workspace trial account on your email address, "verifying" their account through this vulnerability, and logging in to third-party sites (that support Google login) by using your email address.

It'd be funny to poison only the responses to LLM content farmers with blatantly ridiculous information.

> On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out? ' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

It rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20060508-22/?p=31...

So odd, it must cost them approximately nothing to serve redirects for the static set of links they still had. Now they'll break links all over the web again.

No, the obfuscation helps with setting "enterprise" prices.

I know several Yvonne's and we'd all pronounce it Ee-vonna.

Perkeep is such a cool, interesting concept, but it seems like it's on life-support.

If I'm not mistaken, it used to be funded by creator Brad Fitz, who could afford to hire a full-time developer on his Google salary, but that time has sadly passed.

It suffers from having so many cool use-cases that it struggles to find a balance in presentation.

Sounds great for data consistency.

I'm not an electronics engineer, but is it safe to shift 3.3v to 5v if the underlying hardware wasn't designed for that? Is there a chance to put too much strain on the power source?

Yep, just got this package yesterday and I was pretty amazed at how easy it was to switch over. Their PSD compatibility seems quite good too, although obviously some of the effects are implemented subtly differently.

I've tried to quit Photoshop before with GIMP, Krita and even more obscure alternatives but gladly shelled out the cash for the Affinity Suite.

I mean, I'd watch that..

I genuinely wonder, who is this for? I'm having a hard time telling from the website.

Is that just because nobody has made an effort yet to port them upstream, or is there something inherently difficult about making those changes work in llama.cpp?

How does Shadeform make money?

Hn's opinion of Fly seems to fluctuate a lot. First it was an HN darling, especially with all the high-quality blog posts they were putting out, but on the latest threads there's been a lot of complaining about platform stability and features.

I've been trying out Supabase for an MVP but while the hosted postgres part is quite nice, the C# SDK recommended (but not maintained) by Supabase falls quite short, leaving me to trace down all sorts of obscure issues that turn out to be a 2-year-old bug in the SDK that's still not fixed. It is kind of nice for a community effort but definitely not good enough at all for professional adaptation by .NET developers.

On paper, Supabase really has all the ingredients I should need to make my application. In practice, I still end up struggling a lot with the development model. I wish there was an easier, safer way to create RLS rules that doesn't need me knowing (to me) obscure Postgres syntax. This is especially grating since the rest of the tooling seems to try to take me away from SQL a lot by using Postgrest.

Not only is that not really relevant, but I'd argue Tailscale is actually very useful even to many people who don't feel like they currently "need" it.
