That is just so stupid...

Yeah, but their treatment was terrible.

Yeah, but you don't have to be such horrible people about it. At least give the person a few days to move their stuff. And I wasn't checking it from Iran.

I'm an Iranian---which is something you have no choice in, you just turn 4~5 and understand enough language that they tell you that you are an Iranian. And well out of believing namecheap is a good company (since I had my DNS there) I purchased my domain from them. Then one day these fuckers banned my domain, and my access to the dashboard without any warnings or headsup, didn't even allow me to move my domain to somewhere else, and those vultures from GoDaddy bought it in the auction and have put it for 3500€... Horrible people

A very high bar prediction of the future which sadly like all utopias could not be delivered.

I don't get why Mozilla's designs are so ugly. It's 2026, everyone has beautiful designs and some browsers (Arc, Dia) are so gorgeous you don't want to work with anything else. And then this not-even-released mail app looks like old Bootstrap web apps. I used to love Mozilla for having some of the most beautiful designs. The era of Forefox OS and Firefox 4 with their beautiful beautiful designs and then they said no; threw out that beautiful dinosaur logo for whatever this ugly pointless one is and now look at their software. My eyes hurt for the amount of design problems in Firefox. Okay you made a bad one, at least start something new correctly.

When you're small, you need the certificates and badges others give you to be seen and be validated. I really don't think anyone needs to become familiar with Apple or macOS and that any of these certificates now matter a tiny amount to a multi trillion dollar corporation.

Given the amount and volume of software that mac has, the fact that almost all new interesting stuff are released for mac first or even mac alone, I also don't think it needs to attach itself to bigger names for platforms.

I think the financial burden of Ubuntu Mobile, Unity 8, and Mir; and the immediate rise of docker and WSL made canonical fully shift to server, so much so that their website no longer is about a better os for people, but what can it do for your cloud. Other distros also followed its path and Linus became all in on servers and IoT. I see windows as the biggest pile of trash in the world. Infinitely inconsistent, buggy, patched worked, visionless and rotting. Honestly that is one piece of software that is worse that AI slop.

And so what is there for Apple to compete with honestly? Haiku? Solaris?

pmkary — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 14:00:33 +0000

You're reading it in an unintended way. What I meant was "I used all of the models multiple times on exact same prompt and somehow for me only deepseek works". I haven't had my hands on Astra or Opus 5.5, they perhaps will have good results, but the others I tried at least once a month and horrible results. So I'm stuck with DeepSeek and don't use the other things.

What is it with everyone buying runtimes? — P.S. Deno always felt like it is going to be abandoned, you can't build your work on this much shaky ground...

Personally I have not used anything but 4.1 since it came out. I have a dataset that turns any model into pure hallucination machine, not only DeepSeek does not hallucinate, it builds new insights by combining its insights. It's not only cheap, its far better (at least for me)

New comment by pmkary in "Port of the TypeScript compiler, checker and lsp to Rust, by LLM"

I both agree with you and still think my initial idea was correct, and it means that I have expressed it very badly. What I meant by higher order was all the little niceties Go has that becomes a nightmare in Rust, the memory management, simple language; I mean just think about working with strings in Go vs Rust. The amount of boiler plate stuff always gives me a headache in Rust. But you're right, the map to C and C++ and go is orders of magnitude less developed in that terms.

This officially proves how great the Go code is! I mean: You have easiness and friendliness and high level language of Go for only 50%~70% slower performance. I always thought what happens if they port to Rust? Will it also become an order of magnitude faster? Turns out it really is not worth the cost. Go is perhaps just the best language.

It's interesting how the bicycle is a fake example. You see Jony Ive level design, with a very complex 3d object seamlessly working, and then you see the basic HTML slop in other examples and you begin to wonder if that first one was fabeication.
