Sounds cool for long term data storage, but they need to get the read write speeds up.
4mbps write and 30mbps read is extremely slow. Even if they achieve their roadmap 500mbps is still slow compared to modern drives.
Better not keep any data you need access to within like 90 days on it or you're toast.
What market is this even aiming for? Bitcoiners?

I put this post in the SCP (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308) - will temporarily bury it until the author confirms it's working. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Not working on edge on android either
Is fact checker an actual job?

You can drop Windows and keep VSCode. I'm running it on this laptop (Kubuntu 25.04).
To install it, browse to here: https://code.visualstudio.com/ (search: "vscode"). Click on "Download for Linux (.deb)" and then use Discover to install and open it - that's all GUI based and rather obvious. You are actually installing the repository and using that which means that updates will be done along with the rest of the system. There is also a .rpm option for RedHat and the like. Arch and Gentoo have it all packaged up already.
On Windows you get the usual hit and miss packaging affair.
Laughably, the Linux version of VSCode still bleats about updates being available, despite the fact that they are using the central package manager, that Windows sort of has but still "lacks" - MSI. Mind you who knows what is going on - PShell apps have another package manager or two and its all a bit confusing.
Its odd that Windows apps, eg any not Edge browser, Libre Office, .pdf wranglers, ... anything not MS and even then, there are things like their power toy sort of apps, still need their own update agents and services or manual installs.
I learned today that you can install vscode via winget now lol

Cool project, I wish we had more GUIs for these OS functions. How was your experience with GTK4 and Rust?
And it's a bit sad that in the year of our lord 2025, the best way to get such fundamental information is by using regexes to parse a table[1], generated by a 6000-line C program[2], which is verified by (I hope I'm wrong!) a tiny test suite[3]. OSQuery[4] is also pretty cool, but it builds upon this fragile stack.
That's something I miss from Windows, at least PowerShell has built-in commands that give you structured output.

I am in the process of building myself a cross platform GUI for network monitoring.
Simply because I need one for non-critical stuff and things like uptime robot are enterprise geared and too expensive for me to entertain.
I wish there was an uptime robot for like 25 cents a monitor a month.

When a ocaml maintainer took the time to give you real feedback, all you responded with was:
"Thanks X Person"
You're the direct cause to open source burn out.
I hate these comparisons because it's not apples to apples.
The entire point of AWS is so you don't have to get a dedicated server.
It's infra as a service.
I've played around with Gemini 3 Pro in Cursor, and honestly: I find it to be significantly worse than Sonnet 4.5. I've also had some problems that only Claude Code has been able to really solve; Sonnet 4.5 in there consistently performs better than Sonnet 4.5 anywhere else.
I think Anthropic is making the right decisions with their models. Given that software engineering is probably one of the very few domains of AI usage that is driving real, serious revenue: I have far better feelings about Anthropic going into 2026 than any other foundation model. Excited to put Opus 4.5 through its paces.
Same here. Gemini just rips shit out and doesn't understand the flow well between event based components either
That's really interesting. After cancelling, it goes into retention mode, akin to when one cancels other online services? For example, I cancelled Peacock the other day and it offered a deal of $1.99/mo for 6 months if I stayed.
Very intriguing, curious if others have seen this.
I got this on the dominos pizza app recently. I clicked the bread sticks by mistake and clocked out, and a pop up came up and offered me the bread sticks for $1.99 as well.
So now whenever I get Dominos I click and back out of everything to get any free coupons
