Strange. Not a lot of information on their decision making. Have they been bought by OpenAI? Is OpenAI building something similar and they’re buying the tech? Why sunset?

A lot of these ring true for me. Would be good to see a similar list for dealing with people who are that particular breed of casually disrespectful, and are angling for their own gain as is so typical in the workplace. It’s beneficial to strategically break some of these rules when dealing with those people.

Most people just want to get along, so it’s still a valuable list as is.

That’s tough. Sorry that you all had to go through that.

I bet Microsoft loves that these GitHub competitors shoot themselves in the foot so often.

Don’t know about cognitive effects, but it gives me around 10% more strength and a fuller, more muscular look.

If the cognitive effects are real, they aren’t noticeable to me without placebo effect. Meaning, I hadn’t heard any notion of creatine impacting cognitive function and I’ve been taking it on and off for years, and never noticed anything.

Thinking back, maybe an uptick in mood and a mental performance while tired? Purely unscientific, though.

It’s a shame Windows is still so far ahead for game compatibility. Feels a shame to pair such a nice CPU with such a bloated OS.

Looks good. How’s your security? These days everything hinges on email for auth (particularly with email code sign in being so popular) so if there is a breach that’s a lot of exposure. Security is the one aspect that would make me hesitant to try a newcomer email API.

It’s the AI laziness that is most insulting. If someone wants to imagine me naked they better draw it themselves.

I've never used /revise or /undo, everything I do is just through natural language and seems to work great.

Hadn't heard about it. Launching either "codex" or "claude" from cli isn't exactly a pain point I was looking to fix.

Edit: I guess the real answer is that I don't want multiple subscriptions. I use one for a month, and then decide if I switch to the other.

How does this compare to OrbStack? Do Apple Containers offer anything in the dev experience that I would notice? OrbStack’s implementation already feels lightning fast for my usage.

I’m bouncing back between Codex and Claude like a ping-pong ball. I much prefer the experience using Codex, less verbose and to-the-point I’ve found. But Fable, being as strong as it is, is a big draw for Claude right now. I’ll likely switch back to Codex if 5.6 Sol is comparable.

Not necessarily. I was never the type to trade in physical games, but recently for Forza 6 I could either pay $99AUD to "own" the game, or buy one month of the PC game pass for $15AUD. An obvious choice.

The friend I played the game with did the same. Honestly, if they didn't include Forza 6 in Game Pass we both would've purchased it full price.

Why is it we don't call videogames "4D" if they also operate through time?

Whats the 4 in the "4D" here? A layman like me thinks this looks 3D.

Interesting. I always thought stools had tapered ends to prevent the door from slamming shut.

New comment by reassess_blind in "Supabase experiencing platform issues: Existing DB's cant be restarted, created"

reassess_blind — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:01:29 +0000

It's going on 72hrs with widespread Supabase issues surrounding projects being unable to be created, and existing databases entering fail states when restarted/upgraded.

Communication from Supabase has been limited.

Discord is full of users experiencing issues with production DB's being unreachable after restarting, and being unable to create new projects.

The cause is said to be "AWS Capacity issues" at this stage.

If you have a Supabase DB, I would avoid restarting or upgrading it until these issues are resolved.
