You sure about that? Visa/Mastercars certainly are selling at least aggregated data if not more.

AWS runs a lot of ARM server and they are pushed heavily since they are cheaper and faster. And with Apple running ARM it is just easier to fully transition now.

If someone from the EFF is reading this, could we get a French translation of that article so I can send it to my MP and share around to friends and family. We need a mass movement on that to block it.

Great terminal, annoying that everytime it updates I have to go back to the settings to disable new AI features or layout changes.

You are inferring your own perception based on my comment, no need to be an asshole here. Like I said elsewhere we do both and they serve different purpose. We also make is very clear and easy to disable in the onboarding. I hope you try to build a business sometimes and open up your perspectives that maybe just maybe you don't have all the answers.

We do both and they yield different learnings. They are complementary. We also have an issue tracking board with upvotes. I would say to your point that you can't improve what you don't measure.

Respectfully I think your argument defeats itself. If you can only speak to your users once every 10-12 months it means your process doesn't scale by definition. Good analytics (not useless vanity metrics) should allow you to spot a problem days after it was launched not wait 3 quarters for a user to air their grievances.

That is just poor analytics IMO, if you have a good harness you can definitely tell if a feature is not well designed. You have to optimize for things like number of clicks to perform an operation not time spent in app.

I used to believe that it was not necessary until I started building my own startup. If you dont have analytics you are flying blind. You don't know what your users actually care about and how to optimize a successful user journey. The difference between what people tell you when asked directly and how they actually use your software is actually shocking.

We are in Rust so our options are more limited. Make sense the golang ecosystem is pretty good for that.

Interesting product (Caido co-founder here). It is very hard to nail auth, probably the most underlooked aspect by end users. We are working on something similar for PoC reproduction of vulnerabilities.

Fingerprinting is also a hard thing to match perfectly, I would be curious to know what your strategy is on that. My experience has been that unless you bundle multiple TLS lib it is almost impossible to do at 100% because none of the lib cover all the TLS extensions.

Jokes on them I am still running Windows 10 and not planning to move my gaming PC to Windows 11 (hardware not supported).

I really wish people would stop using the language as an argument and that commenter would also move on to a more interesting debate.

In your discussion the first comment from an ex kuzu dev made an excellent point that rust for databases in an excellent language to ship faster with confidence while reducing real problems of concurrency and corruption.

At some point it becomes intellectual dishonesty to dismiss a language because of vibes instead of merit.

Knowing if it is embeddable or server would be nice in that table

Trademark are always scoped to particular domains it is not universal, if you look up mouser you will see they listed the usage for electronic components, distribution and related. No mention of software. They might fight you since you do have to protect your trademark but in theory you could open a mouser restaurant and trademark that name for food distribution. As long as the customers is able to tell the difference it is fine.

Also to note that the inline directive is optional and the compiler can decide to ignore it (even if you put always if I remember)

The best thing I did to help with my tinnitus what Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. If you perceive the sound as something dangerous than it bothers you way more.

Like others pointed a bad night sleep definitely increases the perceived sound.

Also the stress in the shoulders doesn't help.

We have been working on an issue triager action [1] with Mastra to try to avoid that problem and scope down the possible tools it can call to just what it needs. Very very likely not perfect but better than running a full claude code unconstrained.

Unless ~800k users cancel it is still a net positive for them and that is with the current relatively small contract they have. The reality is that money is in B2B.

From a technological risk perspective I would never tie myself to a vendor like that. I know people do it all the time, but you are totally at the mercy of the vendor increasing price and having no choice but pay since you are so tightly integrated. Always add an interface is my moto.
