How is it that after 10 years of Apple releases, people are still complaining about it "missing" feature X? Not having every checkbox ticked is Apple's way of having shiny new releases all year round.
Re:Ask HN: Linux at work revoked due to MDM, how to fight? on Saturday October 24, 2026 @08:34AM (#50220672)
Linux lover here. I've changed jobs over not being able to use Linux. Unfortunately, that is hard to do in this market.

Compliance, however, is annoying (and mostly bullshit), but it's required for signing massive contracts. So unless you can work within their compliance systems (I.e figure out which auditor/platform they're using), your argument about "my manager said" is gonna fall on deaf ears.

Is this new? It's unclear why the word "began" is in the title

> We could add these names to our global malicious domain blocking database, which is what we use to provide internet users with malware and phishing protection. This is a single, monolithic set of names applied to all users of our protective services (9.9.9.9 & secondaries) globally but not to our nonprotective services (9.9.9.10 & secondaries)

I see how that could work against a service claiming to give users the DNS lookups they expect

It will not. Ask DeepSeek about Tiananmen Square. It will happily answer

DS isn't better than Sol and Gemini in the benchmarks, but after working with them all for a while now I'm beginning to understand why people find DS _feels_ so much better.

First, it's the tok/s and TTFT from providers. Deepseek blazes through work - at quite good quality - and you don't find yourself waiting for your agents to finish.

Second is the openness. Being able to see the CoT and not being randomly blocked for cyber review. You're never wondering if it's stuck or if it will randomly fail. Combined with the great cost value.. My next subscription will probably be Z.ai

Re:Sorry we made you grind LeetCode on Sunday October 11, 2026 @11:15PM (#50050957)
As someone who is top x% on Leetcode (I think I also held the longest daily streak), I would say Leetcode is a test of perseverance. I became a worse developer because I spent time on Leetcode instead of my open source projects, but it taught me marathon long grind. I truly believe its unintended positives are somewhat worthwhile.

Re:Google Playground on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @10:36AM (#49993470)
We've hosted an AI game development platform for a while now and found there's a big difference between "making a game" and "making a fun game". I'd love to see if they are solving the real problem, but the link to try it out is a 403 for me.

Re:We're working on a new RuneScape MMO on Sunday October 04, 2026 @01:51AM (#49951058)
The IP seems stickier than the graphics. People didn't revolt on Rs3 graphics because it was different, they revolted because they were bad. They've since improved and people seem to like it

Jagex blunders hard and gets very lucky each time. The entire Oldschool RuneScape idea came from a private server whose owner was sued out of existance by Jagex, only for the community to revolt, and when official servers launched, they only survived because Jagex upper management forgot about their existance until the community did enough marketing for it.

One of the reasons I left Canada was it took me 6 months to get an MRI after a severe head injury in 2017. I have since gladly paid nearly 500k in taxes to other countries. Fuck Canada.

I'm also fond of how Mimo is confidently showing their model behind Deepseek and other models. They're being transparent on multiple fronts
