This whole mess brought to like just now little moat there is left in the AI world. Like, everyone talks about how you can just prompt a new CRM instead of paying for Salesforce. But in this case, I raced with Fable and Sol and had time to

in the world of AI, forking is so much easier. I was messing with a closed source tool from a vendor, and turns out they didn't support my use case (they were Mac only, I needed a Linux version. And I wanted it in a different programmi

Cloudflare is hit or miss there. They move pretty quick so they tend to ship a lot of product very quickly that have a lot of potentials. But they are very much MVPs, and you'll hit a lot of limitations that aren't always obvious

SOC2 is just "the process we say we have, is what we do in practice". The process can be almost anything. Some auditors will push on stuff as "required", but they're often wrong. But all it means in the end is you c

CC would explode even further if they had official Team/Enterprise plan (likely in the work, Claude Code Waffle flag), and worked on Windows without WSL (supposedly pretty easy to fix, they just didn't bother). Cursor learnt the %

Yup, but Article 3 point 2.a has a fairly strict definition, where for an entity outside of the US to be considered as "offering service" to EU members requires some kind of strict ties. The de facto examples is offering a product

Its correct purely because of jurisdiction. EU laws don't apply for people with no presence in the EU, unless there was some kind of treaty where one country agrees to enforce another's. That's just how laws, any law, works.

Right, the point Im trying to make is that if someone has a requirement, they can build it on their own, for themselves, at much lower cost (because they don't need sales and marketing for themselves). It was always possible (hire soft

Assuming they don't have an EU presence of some sort, EU law doesn't apply to them. Now if they want to open up shop in the EU, or use a payment processor to charge money that has EU presence, things change.

Correct. But you can build this thing on your own, for yourself. LinkedIn didn't, and you don't trust this third party. So if you had the problem its trying to solve, you could just spend the 2-3 hours and build it for yourself, e

Correct, but the amount of people who can do it has drastically increased, and the amount of time it takes for most people to build these things has drastically decreased.

Yup. But my point is you can build this yourself, FOR yourself. So if you're not comfortable with using this one, you can build one on your own that you can trust (because you built it yourself). Thats the whole point. In an AI world,

It really shows how AI is going to change the entire industry. Let's imagine tomorrow a Product Manager at LinkedIn wants to introduce this as an official functionality? They're going to have to run it by management or their pod (

Yup. People act like they are geniuses there, but they were pulled kicking and screaming to allow native apps.

Honkai Impact 3rd does have pay2win ladder. It's pretty hardcore too, even as a whale it can be quite rough to get to the top. There's a LOT of top tier whales in that game and you need some pixel perfect timings to utilize it at

It's not just that. A large portion of IT people who work in these industries find Windows much easier to administer. They're very resistant to switching out even if it was possible and everything the company needed was available

You highly overestimate the capabilities of the average IT person working for a hospital. I'm sure some could do it. But most who can work elsewhere.

Not really. The usual strategy for persisted query is to only use them in production or adjacent areas. You build your app using regular graphql doing whatever you need, then after you tested things and it all looks good, when you ship, you

A lot of the points in the articles are issues anywhere, it just depends on how well they are understood in the context and how mature the tooling is. Eg: rate limiting in REST is rarely problematic because we have no end of WAFs and gatewa

Canada has/had that too. Eg: Montreal used to be a pretty small part of the Montreal metro until they merged all the cities on the island. Even then it doesn't include it's north and south chores.

Consider how the FAA handled the Nextgen project and continually gaslight anyone negatively impacted over the last 10 years, I would be against any airport built within 10 miles of where I live too. Not surprising people would be against it

The wcag color contrast algorithm isn't great (and there is a proposal for a better one), but sufficient color contrast is necessary for a variety of visual conditions. That it's not good enough for some doesn't mean it'

I became a huge fan of Kagi after seeing it on hacker news too. It's amazing how good a search engine can be when it's not full of ads.

Yeah, I don't have issues either. But in the US, in gen z and younger social circles, the "green bubble stigma" is a very real thing.

FiDi. Only after dark (never seen it during the day), and not all of the pharmacies get hit as bad. There is like a million pharmacies around and I've only seen one closed so it can't be that bad, but damn it's annoying. Like

It is. I live in NYC and stopped going to CVS late at night because there is such a looter problem in my neighborhood, I can't buy shit at that time. The looters are there with bags ransacking the isles while I wait behind hoping they
