What a great marketing campaign for Codex, I tried reading a couple of times and I concluded I should renew my codex subscription.

> No. This is opportunity cost.

This is NOT the definition of opportunity cost. Please do not throw in random terms you don't understand. Opportunity cost is the value of the next best alternative you give up whenever you make a choice. WTF does it have to do with mis-classifying an expense?

Moved to Debian few years back and never looked back. We used Ubuntu for a bunch of clients and unfortunately had to let them know they will have to migrate to Debian or similar. It's such a shame because I really used to love Ubuntu until Canonical started turning slowly into your typical everyday corporate.

> "money talks, so why bother with ideals"

That's definitely not what I'm saying. I'm just saying build a better product and a better company that focuses on its employees. It's not that hard and there are plenty of examples all around. Also, revenge isn't exactly an ideal, it's actually quite the opposite.

Most of the organizations that are successful are so because they had a coherent vision for what the product would be and a passion for solving that particular niche's problem. I'm not sure how anger/vengeance rather than a passion for the problem space is going to positively change the customer's perception of the product's long term vision, support and guarantees. Imagine trying to poach a Salesforce client and they ask you why would they need to invest time and money into migrating to your solution and all you got is "haha, fuck salesforce, they fired me".

The idea seems noble, but a good market-fit product is more than just code sitting inside a github repository. That's why there have always been open source alternatives to commercial CRMs long before AI even came into the picture but they never took off.

This benchmark is too simplified to be meaningful. The choice of a framework is rarely based on speed alone, it factors in other elements like the user's domain knowledge, long term maintainability and the framework's track record itself w.r.t security and development of features.

In this regard alone, it will make a lot of sense to spend extra $2 and 2 mins to trade off for a long-term maintainable codebase and code you can reason about than just something made quickly just to get it deployed fast.

In my personal use case, that would be Svelte 5 for me and I'm sure it will be something else for everyone.

It's not just the anti-competitive behaviour, it's also the anti-privacy behaviours that are not muched talked about. They embedded a spyware and got caught too:

But, of course, Dario is the darling of the community and he can do no wrong.

Scribd is the most predatory site that steals people's content and then doesn't honor their promise (upload a PDF to download one..oops that one doesn't qualify, but we will keep your copy!). Fuck em, they built their entire model on predatory behaviour towards broke college students, hope they burn to the ground.

> every comment I don't like is a bot

If that's what you read, that's on your reading comprehension.

> it degrades the forum.

Again, let's not forget this was in response to a vague "unified product" BS claim

Thank you!

    Run agents and everything they build. Secure execution from the first sandbox

Getting hacked while in the business of selling a secure sandbox isn't really a good look. It seems like can't even trust anything these days. The other day OpenCode got hacked and leaked everyone's secrets inside .env to attackers and now this. Sigh.

That's because fundamentally DD drivers are assholes for the most part. In British Columbia, they are paid a minimum wage plus the tips they make from each order. That is well more than what an average Walmart employee makes, which is just pretty much minimum wage. However, the DD drivers will expect a 30-40% tip on a $15 order or they will not even deliver it. Not to mention the theft, fake delivery issues (they take a photo of the delivery and then take the food away) and what not. On top of this, DoorDash will blatantly lie constantly "Your food is on time" (after a 2 hour delay) and keeps updating the ETA repeatedly to make it look like it's on time.

Fuck DoorDash and their drivers. The whole model is flawed and don't even get me started on the absurd tipping entitlement off late. WTF is even 30% of your food bill so normalized as a tip? The same model in Singapore is really so much streamlined in comparison - You order from Grab and it's so much nicer than this garbage, everyone gets paid fairly and restaurants will tell grab drivers to fuck off if they cut the line.

One big problem with HN recently is the sheer number of bots - this account's pattern looks eerily similar to one and the next big issue which has been an issue for over a decade now is many folks here own Apple stock. They have a conflict of interest and their arguments are extremely skewed in favor of Apple.

I know a lot of folks would argue it is a poor indicator, but more often than not I've been right on so many occasions because of the heavy usage of 'em dashes

I am more impressed by the embedded gameplay widget. Does anyone know what tool/library is that? That'd be so cool if I am able to showcase my worlds on my blog posts!

> 1. SO question numbers dropped precipitously before AI came along.

This was single-handedly the work of arrogant self-righteous moderators who would close random useful questions as not useful just to prove they were doing something. A lot of us long timers got annoyed at selective enforcement of rules and never looked back. It's sad because it was actually a fun place to hangout. Too much moderation always kills the vibe.

> Apple is the only vertical computer company left from the 1980s.

> Microsoft and Google dabble in hardware and both do nothing but lose money in the hardware area

How is losing money relevant here, you started off the argument by saying Apple is the only vertical computer company left. Which is clearly not true and as your own comment contradicts.

You should try using a Surface Pro once. It is what the MacBook Pro is becoming now, only it is 5 years ahead. Yes, Windows sucks. But, the form factor and its usability is unmatched. I wouldn't just write it off as "dabbling".

What build quality? You must be joking. My M3 Pro is at the service center as of this moment for touch ID replacement. Because, apparently the quality of the harness is so bad it gives up in under 2 years of ownership - google it, it's a known issue. Next, the cheap ass 5V regulator fries if you actually try to as much as use a phone connected to it for long periods. This was a known issue across multiple generations. This is a tech forum, ass kissing a giant corporation that doesn't care about you should be the last thing one would expect to read here.

Holy red herring. That revenue number isn't from people checking out recipes..or making them

WTF is even a "unified product"?

It's a fucking laptop. All laptops are "unified products". Stop throwing random jargon to cover up for the lack of merit to your argument.

Because, Macs are the only products and the rest which use OLEDs since 2016 aren't, right?

I have 3 Macs running. I love them, but that doesn't mean I can't criticise them for falling behind.

Welcome to 2016. Lightweight OLED displays have been in the market since a decade ago, but now we are praising Apple for catching up 10 years later for a laptop with a "pro" moniker? Damn, the Apple ass-kissing here never disappoints.

> Read the article. The HOA was a few hundred a month. Now it's 10x as much.

Read my comment, I specifically mentioned about not getting a house with an HOA in the first place. Again, if you chose a house that's in a HOA, it's on you.

> This is beyond predatory.

Of course, they're predatory, what did you think was it about? It's always someone with a power trip sitting on their boards. For a "HN contrarian", you sure get upset about a logical argument.

Exactly, they aren't ready to admit their poor decisions have consequences.

Honestly, if you bought a house that was part of a HOA, it's on you. Like, what did you think was going to happen?

Source?

> confidently asserting that you're correct

Where did you see this? The acoustics in your head must be wild:))
