Why the iOS app so terrible? Is it a web app? I have couple plugins on desktop and it makes iOS app load something then I must press reload and again. It’s a terrible experience, how could this been released like that?

Cool idea!the font weight should be extra/heavy, and not true black, dark gray.

With HomeAssistant, what is really use for Homebridge? Seems like it’s a stepping towards HA, and everyone upgrades eventually.

Please do! This is very original and maybe most interesting conceptualisation in this thread.

The discussion about Claude always omit the important context - which language/platform you’re using it for. It is best trained for web languages and has most up to date knowledge for that. If you use it for Swift it is trained on whole landfill of code and that gives you strong bias towards pre-Swift 6 coding output. Imagine you would give Claude a requirements for a web app, and it implements it all in JQuery. That’s what happens with other platforms.

The author of website will be flooded with submissions about almost every known brand. Instead of ledger of bad brands it should track brands that remain, - it will be a lot easier and less work.

What’s with being a parent is one of 5 qualifiers of a person? My answer would be - happy every day that I didnt have children. I’m curious if there is correlation.

I am surprised in this age such simple map can’t keep up with scrolling and showing ocean and then draws.

I’m not nitpicking, but you’re saying better than Claude or Codex? Is it also focused and tested mainly on web/JS technologies? It’s still berry much uphill battle building native apps. I think there’s untapped market for Swift / Android coding models.

New comment by dostick in "One item purchased, ten emails"

dostick — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 18:58:13 +0000

Actually, four emails, not ten. Author writes as if it’s some conspiracy of sellers and shipping companies to maximise the number of emails. Each sends with any excuse they have. The email is treated as a drop box of transactional notes that business sends to customers inbox so customer can always find that info if they would have a need. It’s not frivolous sending that we need to fix but some standard of “receipt” folders, like Gmail auto folders in half-assed way. So these emails bypass inbox directly to special folder. And it should have a standard name so customer service can say “look in your Receipts folder”.

And Two “We received your order” is unnecessary, as well as “create account”. But if they send those it must be working? Or they send even is only handful of people click on them?

Whom you want to please with TOR support.. You have advantage not being a commercial product driven by recognition, to be free to base it on the next and better thing.

I only understood half of the tech jargon in your answer. If I understood it all I’d probably run it myself. If someone who is less knowing than me is your customer, you need to explain in simpler terms!

The real score should be around 50% or less. The scoring system is done as a joke without much thought and compares a lot of apples to oranges. Like “aw my balls” equals Jackass, even describing what’s different about them it counts them as equal. Costco degree is not equal to Microsoft degree, etc.

The tests should have negative weights based on how often that issue encountered and impact. The 2. SPI should have like 8 negative points out of 10 as most common blocker. And whole test inverse score.
