My apologies. I had forgotten to include Show HC in the title and by the time I realized that, I was unable to remove the pose. I did not think the first posting actually made it.

Here's the deal. You'd find it all works a lot better if you actually were a member of the HN community who posted links to other people's content and participated in discussion.

dang is doing some kind of shadowbanning on outsiders who never take an interest in HN until one day they suddenly realize that their odds of getting more than 10 views are better than Product Hunt. Trouble is that these people don't understand what they are up against and they don't give up but they keep trying to post over and over again. dang really ought to make something that is more straight with people.


... which just has you breaking even more rules. Show HN is for sharing and collaborating on projects (well, at least talking and answering questions about it), not for selling your book.

> it seems like a pretty huge contradiction of their claims for AI software dev

The outages might be ironic, but I don't think it's a huge contradiction. I use Opencode instead of Claude Code and it's been working fine for the past few weeks.


Claude != Claude Code

I mean more fundamentally, if they have access to even more advanced models than all of us and have this much downtime, does that imply that their models are possibly not so great at software dev?

But yes you're definitely right, it's perhaps more ironic than contradictory.


There's a reason macOS is the least-used OS behind Linux and Windows. If it was any less terrible, we would know.

Source? [1] states 12% for macOS and 3% for Linux.

Steam reports 3.4% for linux and 2% for macos (last montg. This month numbers are probably hit by systematic measurement errors).

Also, the 16% “unknown” in the graph you linked to implies huge error bars on macos vs linux!


Steam stats aren't particularly meaningful in this context, because MacOS is largely unusable for gaming due to not being able to run most games.

Valve themselves have given up on supporting their games on Mac, likely due to the total lack of backwards compatibility.


That's desktop market share. I'm sure the comment you're replying to means overall usage including mobile and server, where Linux is far and away the leader.

An elitist attitude towards plagiarists is common.

Also elitist attitudes towards people for whom English isn’t a native language, elitist attitudes towards people with dyslexia and other conditions that make writing difficult, and elitist attitudes towards people with lower education levels.

The BBC used to encourage its announcers to use Received Pronunciation, which was associated with high social class.

The solution to this form of elitism was not to make everyone speak RP, but to encourage non-RP accents, which is more common in the modern BBC.

Your comment seems elitist by encouraging the use of artifice to fit better into an elitist world, rather than breaking down elitism.


We know.

That quote was not only meant as a coy way to brush off Larry Ellison's business gusto. It was a total condemnation of his sociopathy and immoral behavior. Larry Ellison was not a ceiling fan, shaking his hand did not bruise you. He rips it from the bone.

That tracks.


What tracks?

Web3 never lived. It was a blatant scam to get people to pay for crypto gas, similar to how OpenClaw encourages people to waste/buy tokens.

wasn't/isn't Openclaw useful?

I think it is overhyped

Most people that I have interacted with consider macOS to be more confusing and less usable than Windows. It's not just you.

Big Sur made me take back every Fischer Price comment I ever made about Windows XP. I didn't think it was possible to make a more childish UI than Aqua, but here we are.

Hey, at least we're finally spared the infantile "MY this" and "MY that" nonsense that dominated the early 2000s.
