It's one of those things that every embedded dev kind of cobbles together on their own as they discover the limit of struct arrays stored in EEPROM.

Except this one actually seems worse in some ways, because to find a file you have to keep following what is effectively a single linked list of file headers until you find the file you need.

The authors even acknowledge this is just a copy of tar's approach, and even acknowledge that that was in turn done this way due to a lack of random seeking on tape systems at the time. But a microcontroller's EEPROM/SPI/... data is nothing like this? You can just do arbitrary seeks. So I'm not sure what they were going for here.

The implementation is also full of obvious bugs that will cause crashes or hangs or worse when operating on an untrusted or simply just corrupted filesystem: https://github.com/clisystems/utfs/blob/5f1a6f049a0ca5435afb...

(otherwise, congrats for discovering the scientific method!)

Do you have a single person on your team that's actually a mechanical engineer with practical industry experience?

Yeah, no, that's a lie. This isn't a CAD model. It's a fantasy 3d model that looks like it's straight out of Gearhead Garage (1999).

Any time I see these 'AI CAD' solutions it's always toys, toys, toys. Show me something functional that you've actually manufactured (shitty 3D prints don't count). Or at least show me something that can actually be assembled and isn't just a bunch of boxes with no fasteners to hold them together.

We truly live in the dumbest timeline.

I guess it takes quite a lot of experience as a maintainer to realize that 'free' in 'free code contributions by strangers' is like 'free' in 'free puppy'.

You're allowed, they'll just ignore it. Same as how sqlite and some other projects operate.

> By consenting, you confirm that you have permission from the telecom account holder to enable the Utiq technology on this internet connection.

I cannot adequately express my contempt for people who have designed and implemented this.

But also:

> The Utiq technology is linked to the internet connection. This means that anyone using the same connection will have access to the same consenthub view and will be able to manage Utiq consents given when using that connection. For example, when you share broadband connection with others in your household or if you use tethering/hotspot.

And of course the consent management panel is behind a CAPTCHA - god forbid someone automate revoking consent! I'm guessing no CATPCHA is needed to give consent, though.

> Person A: yo wtf is wrong with you

> Person B: Who are you (or who am I) to decide that? The entire point of a show HN is to be non-judgmental and charitable, otherwise it's just going to turn into a cynical echo-chamber. The famous Dropbox comment is a cautionary tale for a reason.

Because most AI hypers have extremely low standards for any form of text - be it code or prose. If one is to believe code doesn't matter, then why would would prose matter either?

call me a luddite, i'll be wearing it as a badge of honor
