Wouldn't the milestone keep moving since Adobe will also introduce new features? What if the way you moved and the way Adobe does make 100% feature parity incompatible? Like when you say 100% parity, you mean a frozen-in-time feature set or always be 100% of what Photoshop does?

> Who decides what gets to be reverse engineered and what doesn't?
The service provider decides the terms and conditions, as long as they comply with the law. For example, Google decides whether pirated movies can be hosted on its cloud service, because it provides the cloud service. It's pretty clear.
In a pure capitalist system, competitors would emerge if the repressed service were genuinely in high demand and lawful. If it was not, then well, that's just how we regulate the world but this cannot be considered a case of one industry deciding the fate of another.

USDT is created by a super shady company and is not at all decentralized or censorship-free. You could have made the argument for Bitcoin (and still can to a certain level) but most cryptos that propped up after that or stablecoins do not follow the hacker philosophy and more the banker one. Ironic that the whole crypto movement got co-opted by the likes of JPM which it seeked to replace.

Because radio is not the ancestor of video games. Even if you wanted to make the case, it will be painting -> photography -> silent movies... not radio. You can't bunch two different disciplines as related to each other like this even if both of them are art forms.
We still have podcasts but you think radio led to video games?

Re:The Mythical Man-Month in the Age of AI
on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @04:12AM (#50255959)
I always thought it meant 9 women would take 9 months to create 9 babies because a baby takes 9 months to grow with the bottleneck being biology. And yes what you said applies to people but I don't get the whole "throw 9 agents into it" when it is possible to just see it as 1 agent doing 9 things? With people, yes everyone has a distinct way of doing things etc but all agents can be homogenious fully and completely sync up without any overload theoritically no?

> nine agents still can’t deliver a baby in one month.
Very weird way to say this. Like it holds true for biological beings because pregnancy by default has a fixed timeline. But how does this apply to AI? Also what even is an "agent"? Are they distinct worker units on a program or the same worker unit split into multiple instances?
Why are we assuming agent = man when its a computer program?

Re:Removing Next.js Got My Blog to 100 on Every Lighthouse Category

It's pretty easy to get 100 on every lighthouse category even while using next. The scoring is based on how fast a page loads and what blocks its loading time. If you develop it with a bit of care, that is a non-issue. My funny agency website (https://www.pixlw.com/) is purely nextjs and it scores a 100 on Lighthouse as well because I kept working on it till it didn't.

They literally raised $870 million this month. It's like people think the hype cycle = success of business for some reason. I'm sure a couple of months later, they're going to release something new, hire a lot of PR, and the same people will be "man, Jev had fallen but this new [xyz] brings them so back!

Same reason why certain social media posts can trigger a physical, emotional reaction, even though for 99.99% of the time there were no cellphones or social media.

most posts do not show up in the front page at all, the ones you're seeing are the ones that are actually good (in an ideal world, in reality a lot of this is controlled anyway). But yeah even if you make the best thing you've ever dreamed of, do not think posting it on HN = automatic front page. Most content never makes it and gets like 1-2 upvotes. I've hit #1 only once even though i post regularly. Just as long as you're not spamming or breaking any general rules it's alright to take a chance with anything you deem interesting or worth tinkering with.

I am not sure why this focus on clients in a context like this feels unsettling to me, but it does.
