It's down more than 60% since it peaked in September 2025.

Why?

Not that bad actually. They probably clean this beach daily for tourists.

Back when I lived in Cancún I remember 1-2 meters high mountains of sargassum in less touristic beaches like Playa Coral.

I lived in Cancun 10 years ago and this was already a huge issue back then.

God only knows how many skeletons like this are in Bun now
I just migrated from Proton to Mailbox.

The mail server works great so far and their plans are super generous. Their web client is kinda shit and no mobile apps but any IMAP client will do the job fine.

"had" is the right word.

Spending enormous amounts of cash on infra and AI is one thing but sacrificing the core revenue generator of your business is on another level of bad.

> “Due to insufficient velocity,” Proton is not on track to achieve its annual recurring revenue target by the end of the year

I'm a Proton customer and other than some UX improvements I'm not missing any big features. This idea they need more velocity is a failure in management.

Fly.io really needs to explain what happened here.
Re:New iMac with M6 on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @12:49PM (#50261978)
Absolutely. The display on the iMac 5K was amazing. Ended up giving that machine to a nephew of mine when I moved to Apple Silicon but Apple really dropped the ball here.
Of course they did. AI companies have pirated and stolen all sorts of content. What we know of is probably only the tip of the iceberg.

As for the training being fair use, this is still disputed:

if they had actually reached AGI they would simply fire +90% of employees and make a huge announcement
or maybe they just need to lower their operating expenditure because they're spending too much money...
This is not even a remotely wild claim.

Maybe the author does have a point. There are millions of PHP websites and do we know of any that was pwned?

That but also I would imagine getting information on the record from the exhibits etc.

Their net loss in 2025 was like $40B with $4B of revenue.

Looks like 2026 will be so much worse.

For sure but those high volume use cases are extremely rare.

Now we're getting somewhere. This is a great example because obviously speed depends on the context.

Obviously a shovel is quite an improvement for home gardeners but big constructions need a completely different tool.

For +99% of TS projects going from eg 10ms to 1ms is not going to make any difference even though it's a 10x improvement. In part because most monitors refresh at 60hz (16ms per frame) but even with +120hz monitors this is not going to have an impact on any workflow. Even for CI network latency is going to be a much bigger factor than improving TS compilation beyond the performance that TSGO already provides.

> Is the TS compiler unbearably slow?

It's not. Even the JS compiler is still fast enough for many projects given the single core improvements in hardware (eg Apple Silicon).

Re:Tsrs: A Port of TypeScript to Rust on Tuesday October 20, 2026 @12:54PM (#50169264)
TSGO is already plenty fast and overkill for most projects.

Sure the Rust version is faster but the difference is probably only noticeable in the top 1% largest projects.
