<p>> <i>"a mess"</i><p>The article points out one major issue (bounds) & one minor gripe (outdated cmd).<p>The bounds issue is very serious & more than worthy of an article in itself. It is a single issue though & hardly constitutes "a mess" when considering the entirety of uv.<p>I don't think uv's UX is perfect - I could point out plenty more minor gripes other than the outdated one mentioned here - but looking at where we're coming from in the Python package management ecosystem it's a goddamn miracle the UX is as good as it is.</p>

<p>They didn't need to - much of the popular hype around rust is on the back of uninformed spectators confusing Rust's tools for enabling memory-safety (good, warranting hype) with Rust itself guaranteeing automatic memory safety (fantasy).</p>

<p>The website is pretty & the overdramatic copy is fun, but there's much better fingerprinting demos out there.<p>The number of data points shown here is low - there's plenty more it could be checking - & a good number of them seem to be wrong (it's only detecting one as explicitly "withheld" but I believe a few of them actually are, leading to garbled output).<p>Needs some QA.</p>

<p>OSM launched as a London / UK project. Even today, it's a lot more comprehensive in some parts of the world than others.<p>If I got the impression that it was like OSM, that would give me the impression that it is only as global as my contributions to it (which is what lead to OSM becoming global).</p>

<p>> <i>Personally I assumed the site would be global</i><p>The only reason you would assume a site would be global is if your definition of "global" is "works in the US" & you never bother to check for support of other countries. I live in the anglosphere outside of the US & I encounter more than enough US-only web projects for that not be to a default assumption I hold.<p>Most sites are not global - it's very odd to assume they would be.</p>

<p>Hard drives are currently scarce due to market factors, so it's not surprising that 32TB is the biggest in your local retailer, but 40tb+ ssds were a little more widely available a year or two ago.<p>Still obviously crazy to consider that any kind of "average" or common size, but certainly not outrageous, especially for someone working in that field.</p>

<p>Having agents contribute to a tool designed for agentic coding is thoroughly unsurprising - if anything, your contributor link showing that 873 LoC were written by Claude, in a project with tens of thousands of lines contributed, seems to show far fewer agentic contributions than I would normally expect. It seems far from vibe coded looking at those stats alone.<p>The lack of package pinning is unfortunate but common enough that I'd simply open a ticket (& expect them to address it) rather than writing off the entire project.<p>The lack of a security audit for a project this young is also unsurprising & hardly notable.</p>

<p>I really don't understand the HN comments here.<p>Lots of assumptions that the article is AI-authored (it could be but I'm not seeing overtly obvious signs - it's quite readable) & a lot of ungrounded assumptions that this is somehow related to Bitwarden integrating AI into their product.<p>I really thought reading comprehension among HN users was better than this.</p>

<p>Yeah this makes sense (presuming you're talking about private chat). Most of what I've seen from Grok is its comments in a public forum, which are less targetted toward a single individual & therefore, I presume, less likely to be agreeable given the perspectives being expressed are diverse.</p>

<p>I've observed this in all chatbots with the single exception being Grok. I initially wondered what the Twitter engineers were cooking to to distinguish their product from the rest, but more recently it's occurred to me that it's probably just the result of having shared public context, compared to private chats (I haven't trialled Grok privately).</p>

<p>I'd see this as being useful for two reasons:<p>1. Provision of optional tools: I may use an ai agent differently to all other devs on a team, but it seems useful for me to have access to the same set of project-specific commands, skills & MCP configs that my colleagues do. I amn't forced to use them but I can choose to on a case by case basis.<p>2. Guardrails: it seems sensible to define a small subset of things you want to dissuade everyone's agents from doing to your code. This is like the agentic extension of coding standards.</p>

<p>They had some kind of intermediate representation of page renders that was efficiently cached on disk so that it made zero network requests on history navigation. I suspect this same approach also played a part in facilitating the fulltext history search feature I've also never seen in a browser since.<p>I'm guessing with the way web standards have evolved & become more complex this might actually be impossible to do today while remaining compliant - honestly give me non-compliance though.</p>

<p>I was a die-hard Opera user when it ran Presto - I tried the Chrome version for a while, & I have Vivaldi installed so I can periodically open it & try it out for a while, but absolutely everything since Opera 12, Vivaldi included, has paled in comparison.<p>Opera 12 was instantaneous in everything it did, even with a session with 100s of tabs open (without auto-unloading them in the background like modern browsers do) & thousands of local emails in M2. The instant history navigation in particular is something no modern browser has even attempted to copy, Vivaldi included (likely because it's a core Chromium functionality that would be difficult to override).<p>There's just so many tiny details of its UX that were slick & seamless & have been lost. Little things that seem minor but were huge on aggregate like text selection of linkified text - it simply does not work in Gecko or Blink browsers but somehow Presto did it with ease. The page you're leaving remaining fully responsive during navigation to facilitate change-of-mind on mis-clicks, etc. Millions of tiny UX details like this just made the whole daily browsing experience so painless.</p>

<p>I'm sure it dissipates eventually but I've worked at weddings collecting pints that were forgotten about untouched - it really is a very very slow dissipation.</p>

<p>> <i>the Guinness head means you're getting less than a pint of actual beer</i><p>I hate to be pedantic but pint being volumetric, you're still getting a pint, independent of density. Also - a nitrogen head doesn't dissipate, so you never get a gap.<p>I'm now curious though whether a nitrogen head is less dense than a CO2 head...</p>

<p>It could well have emerged as a cultural norm from the prevalence of heads, but I've seen it often for very moderate heads, with a gap left above the foam.<p>> <i>not cheating the customer out of volume</i><p>I don't think it's cheating if its the norm. One would expect prices to be set appropriately for the average volume served (i.e. a full glass would be a bonus rather than the gap being a loss).<p>I do just find it odd, coming myself from the opposite culturally.</p>

<p>I'm from Ireland, where filling beers precisely up to the brim is practically a religion, & many barmen will even take the glass back & top it up if they see the head diminishing too quickly in the space of time it takes you to pick the freshly poured pint up.<p>One thing that always struck me as odd is how the culture is seemingly the opposite of this in apparent beer meccas like Belgium - not only are the glasses typically much smaller (this is fine) but they also leave massive gaps at the top. The glass capacity is never treated as being close to the rim at all.</p>

<p>I don't know if other companies do this anywhere but if you live in Ireland. Diageo have roles for people to travel around the country doing precisely this.</p>
