Sorry OP, I stopped reading when I saw it was Substack. I won't subject myself to hostile UX, no matter the content.

People literally die of heat exhaustion and legislation is being discussed now about mandatory AC in care homes. You and others on the "AC is far right" brigade are the polarising commentators here, not us.

Agreed. Interesting to see the HN echo chamber of downvotes in full force on this subject of what is efficient modern technology. AC is civilised and a huge quality of life improvement, I won't be uncomfortable and miserable in summer if I can afford not to be.

Anything except using AC like the rest of the world, hey Monocle? There is no comparison, and not to mention the excellent efficiency of R-32 based super inverter systems that are no different to winter heating heat pumps. AC should be the norm in Europe, but apparently it's "far right"!

Bizarre hate towards someone's little blog. And it's not even LLM spam, just someone running their own WP site. By your logic I should save myself the Wikipedia verbosity and just ingest LLM output for any query I have forever.

If a coffee shop is charging $25 for a latte and sells none, we don't say everything's fine because no sales data. The sales are $0 and it's not fine.

There is no escaping the powers of supply and demand.

and why do you get to decide what it "is about"?

Imagine how refreshing if the press release simply said:

"We over-hired, we're ram-packed full of managers pinging each other on Slack all day and need to cut costs to sustain our operation. We think GitHub's shit and we want to be a nimble org with a fighting chance at eating their lunch. We're also gonna provide 1000 free runner hours/mo to open source projects that move from GitHub to gitlab, and we're gonna make project namespaces on gitlab.com a first class thing like GitHub did"

Wild claim that setting the minimum age to 7 days will result in me "never" getting a supply chain npm vuln.

Hey, it's Jack/Bob/Jill/Jane from Claude here! We don't give a shit about your issue. Have a nice day.

Well... my gitlab.internal.corp.com is up. As it is every day. Takes about 1 hour every few months of maintenance work at most.

> This one did not destroy machines or blow things up. It corrupted the math.

This LLM style of writing has had it's day.

Another low effort, dark mode slopsite. You lost me at "44 terabytes" before I even got to the emdash in that sentence.

@dang, when is the 'flag as slop' button coming?

You need to seriously look at your corporate communications and hire some adults to standarise your messaging, comms and signals. The volatility behind your doors is obvious to us and you'd impress us much more if you slowed down, took a moment to think about your customers and sent a consistent message.

You lost huge trust with the A/B sham test. You lost trust with enshittification of the tokenizer on 4.6 to 4.7. Why not just say "hey, due to huge input prices in energy, GPU demand and compute constraints we've had to increase Pro from $20 to $30." You might lose 5% of customers. But the shady A/B thing and dodgy tokenizer increasing burn rate tells everyone inc. enterprise that you don't care about honesty and integrity in your product.

I hope this feedback helps because you still stand to make an awesome product. Just show a little more professionalism.

I quit reading the moment your website said "sign in with google" took a single pixel of my real estate. It became spyware at that moment.

Fuck all these dark patterns and trackers. I've had enough and hope your Google Webmasters console bounce rate shows it.

But what about push notifications to mobile? I'm not aware of anything that handles this as well as Exchange ActiveSync. it's reasonable that you get an email within sub 1 minute latency, not 15 min polling.

The user experience between a phone, tablet and computer should be symbiotic. Krb is not a first class thing in the mobile world. So users now hav great Krb experience with Outlook.exe but are typing passwords into Safari at owa.example.com (anywhere you type an AD password that isn't lsass or ADFS is really not good posture)

So, passwords are bad and the password is a key component of krb. Moving away from passwords is a step in the right direction eg OIDC.

Not easy at all.

Think about integrating calendars, corporate contacts (from AD), handling RSVP replies said mx server receives and updating the calendar server, securely deal with modern auth (+ legacy krb5 auth, yuk). It's a huge hassle and everything except Exchange only handles 80% of this.

Modern expectations now want: web clients (OWA), todo lists, integrated storage (SP/OneDrive), and push notifications to any phone from any vendor.

So yeah, the only on prem solution is still Exchange.

As Claude would say: You're absolutely right!

Peak HN comment

Agreed. This totally ruins it for me and by the sound of it many other commenters. Nice game otherwise.

Nice! Some ideas: Please can you remove the text that hides the main game view. This is the biggest annoyance on both games and slows you down a lot. Also the gravity / physics feels off. Orbit is too slow.

Probably the UK CMA (Competition and Markets Authority) which regulates competition/antitrust, mergers, national security acquisitions and the like.

Or there is a loosely defined locally-run thing called 'Trading Standards' which is done at the council ("municipality") level.

and for the record I am just being difficult and everyone in tech/mildly well read knows what the (U.S.) FTC is. My point is more that one country's rules don't always matter for the operations of domestic commerce in another amongst their own citizens.

We famously mock our own jusrisprudence - "if Parliament passes a law that it is illegal to smoke on the streets of Paris, then it is illegal to smoke on the streets in Paris", so even when hard legislation exists (4chan/Ofcom shitshow?) it is meaningless.

The only power that matters long term in the universe is sheer force and hard power, and it has always been that way.

I'm just making a point the whole world doesn't revolve around America.

Maybe the whole world is not in the U.S. What is the FTC? The Royal Air Force Flying Training Command?

So whatever OneUptime is, I now know it has zero integrity and is something I should avoid.

No, if a website is that obnoxious I just close the tab. It is not worth yet another mental drain on my limited attention span to read slop.

Just give me the boring single .htm page with your thoughts or a Wordpress site with minimal plugins. I'd hate to think the strain the author puts on people with accessible needs making this.

What a truly unreadable website. As another commenter said I see a few of these get churned out with the same annoying dark patterns.
