Inevitable given that a lot of dev entrepreneurs are moving from high level CRUD to low level software, CAD and hardware now with AI. But it might move beyond Linux once AIs come up with their own programming languages.

I think because the foods aren't equally digestible and as such lead to a different supply of steady energy. Food cravings can distract.

Cool, I think there's a bug when switching themes in the web ui in Safari, the artifacts example with the dark red background isn't readable in light themes. Vesper would be a nice theme to add.

New comment by rramon in "Topcoat is pushing the boundary of server applications with Rust"

rramon — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 15:49:42 +0000

Topcoat needs an Inertia like React integration + Stylex (type safe CSS) on the frontend imo if you want make it as agent friendly as possible. HTMX, Tailwind etc. are still ok but folks who switch to Rust now do this mostly for easier and safer automation. So if you want to grow the framework better think about React.

Depends a lot on the token budget I think, different situations for established businesses or strapped founders vs side hustles or hobbyists. So in a way you outgrow Rails or frameworks like it once you can afford a software factory on autopilot 24/7.

Agents might pick up Topcoat (inspired by Rails) as the framework for those Rust apps.

MacOS GG didn't fit on my 16gb USB drives for a clean reinstall so I decided to upgrade from Tahoe and do a clean wipe afterwards, expecting that this leaves me with a clean GG install. But guess what, after wiping I was back on Tahoe after spending hours updating..

rramon — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 15:06:31 +0000

I think people prefer to look at traditional architecture but prefer to live in modern architecture because at least inside it is better optimized for actual human needs (designed to maximize space, light etc).

The contradiction between outside (public space) and inside (personal space) is worth discussing as well.

Whats the advantage over plain single html files/apps using colocated css and use the browser/web view local storage? Those could be saved as PWAs or not?

Missing out on flawless App Intents integration could be business risk for Shopify once people get used to doing everything from a central chat interface, including shopping. I guess it's the real reason for the switch.

You can't have a proper soundstage in a car no matter your setup, which kinda degrades a lot of music that wasn't designed for clubs. In a car it's basically background music when you're driving because you can't really give the music your full attention anyway (passive listening), where the lack of focus also masks a lot of details you'd hear on a proper stereo system (active listening).

Edit: to answer your question below, I like both, active and passive listening. But I wouldn't try to optimize for active criteria like details in a passive evironment like a car, so I'd spend more money on fun things like buttkickers instead of high end detail.

The timing is interesting. Stylex (Metas CSS in JS library) is taking off right now because it seems a better fit for AI driven coding in the long run.

Preventing upsells won't fly with most smaller shops who depend on social media advertising and average order value (AOV) to make profits from ads.

Omarchy imo is best for agent maxxing Mac power users who aren't locked into Apples proprietary apps like Final Cut, audio production software or Adobe and Affinity, so maybe not so great for designers and photographers as the main system.

That's the way unless you want to reward the EU for their anti small business moves.

I can only guess as well, infinite time compression might result in a big bang when it applies to everything. All black holes could lead to the same moment causing the bang.

Yeah, flaws hide within the complexity, with simple stuff it's more obvious.

Did you store your Amazon listed product on Amazon in their warehouse or send it out from your home or from a supplier?

Kinda paradox because AI seems better at replicating complex classic paintings and realism than rather simple modern parametric imagery.
