The one I saw most recently was working with an SRE coworker. Data in what looks like a table, in this case a subdomain/IP address, that overflows the cell gets cut off with no ability to actually view it. I almost had him just edit the CSS in Chrome, but he figured out a different workaround.

Yes. We’re beginning the process of moving away because of how they’ve become a single point failure that’s unreliable. AWS is more reliable and it’s a bad spot to be in when your CDN / router is down but your actual application is fine

These acquisition announcements always leave me uneasy. There’s a lot of hand waving, “nothing will change and our roadmap will stay the same!” but we can all do basic math and understand that’s not how business works.

As an aside, I have to use Cloudlare at work and it’s a pretty awful experience for the medium sized org I’m at. “Hostile UX” is a common complaint. Maybe they should invest money in competing with Vercel on UX/DX instead of acquiring open source projects.

Same, we got an email with a PDF with the affected commits and how to fix. What an absolute clown show.

I'm not a journalist so I don't have any interest in "telling you what happened," but the note about commits after the firestorm is a good one.

I lived in Japan and your level of written fluency paired with the patience to distill aspects of Japanese culture strikes me as AI. Even amongst long time foreigners, there’s this unspoken “we’re not explaining this to you, figure it out yourself.”

Your level of fluency would be incredibly rare, and I’ve never seen any Japanese person use romaji in casual online conversation.

“Gunma Banker Mode” would 1) be an insane commute to Tokyo where most banking occurs 2) is strange for someone who says they’re not a programmer, but a banker who is “switching their OS.”

Lastly, your comments just stink of AI because you point the obvious out in not—so-correct ways. “Code” is not the context, but I can see how HN could be reduced to that.

If both are true — this is an AI article and people are commenting with AI, then I fear peak dystopia is upon us and HN is losing its magic to information pollution. Sad times

Only on HN is there a “well, actually” with little substance followed by a comment about a launch.

The article isn’t about writing production ready agents, so it does appear to be that easy

This looks like an attempt to obfuscate the negative sentiments that we’ve come to associate with the conglomerate Facebook. I think there will be some short term success, but Meta and Facebook will become synonymous as Alphabet and Google are.

I’m also reminded that our mass media will play a major role in how public sentiment plays out. Like him or not, you have to admit the great lengths our media has covered Dave Chappelle over the past few weeks. You’d think things like this Facebook rebrand or the stalled infrastructure bill would have more meaningful coverage. Outrage, like sex, sells. I wonder if this rebrand will breach the outrage threshold?
