Would it be wrong to flip the narrative and say "3 in 4 (75%), don't feel this way"?

Not trolling, genuine question.

No pilot will lose their job by taking action to potentially save passengers lives.

But the chances are high, they do lose their job if they don't (and/or potentially lose their life as well).

It's that simple.

(regardless of how dumb/overreaction some might view this as)

What comes after CLI?

In the early days of computing, desktop apps and later webapps provided richer human experiences.

What will provide richer experiences for agents, after CLIs?

Here’s a comparison table to another source:

Agreed, the OP table seems slightly incorrect.

I don’t think zero trust will be anytime soon, based on this post:

Why go through the effort when such work has already been done?

Not being negative. But isn’t there existing highly reliable data that already exists for this?

This is nice, but I’m still waiting for this to be delivered (which ironically is probably using Flagship):

I don’t believe a single enterprise only feature has made its way to lower tier (paid) account yet.

I see DataPacket.com have VPN clients.

Does anyone know if this is any issue for non-vpn users of datapacket.com?

The post seems to be missing an important point…

DHH tends to build things for himself first, then share it with the world (sometimes free, sometimes paid) to see if others find value in it too.

Most of those things never become broadly adopted, which is clear from the long list of products 37signals has shut down over the years: Breeze, Writeboard, Backpack, Sortfolio, and others.

But every once in a while, there’s a huge success … like Rails, Basecamp, Hey, and apparently now Omarchy.

I honestly don’t think it’s much more complicated than that. He enjoys building things he personally wants. And when he sees others getting joy from what he built, he gets excited and doubles down.

With both battery tech and quantum, you have to separate out "commercial availability" vs "laboratory availability".

Dumb question for those EU folks ...

How do you use this when paying online?

Is there the equivalent of an "Apple Pay" button on merchant website for those based in EU?

(Or a Pix button, when in Brazil, etc?)

> This was the most critical vulnerability we discovered in OpenBSD with Mythos Preview after a thousand runs through our scaffold. Across a thousand runs through our scaffold, the total cost was under $20,000 and found several dozen more findings.

Anthropic did that for OpenBSD.

Is Twitter/X the right channel to announce a security event like this?

I ask because I don’t see anything posted on their official blog or status page.

Will be interesting to see if Theo leans into AI ... and starts having AI generate the release artwork & songs.

This is what Apple does best.

They treat new industry advancements as technology, not products itself.

AI will be a feature to improve the customer experience, not the product itself.

Anyone know what a "parking lock" is (and how it works)?

I couldn't find anything on the man pages about it.

Do you mind sharing source links to that profitability claim?

I’m struggling to find the quotes.

Not trying to be cynical … but announcing on a Friday afternoon is typically the operating mode for when you need to announce something that you do not want to get noticed.

I can only speculate this weeks Bun/Rust news might have played into how this Zulip news is being handled.

To be clear, excited for Tim & team.
