The "200 lines" loop is a good demo of the shape of a coding agent, but it’s like "a DB is a B-tree" - technically true, operationally incomplete. The hard part isn’t the loop - it’s the boring scaffolding that prevents

Feels like most of the disappointment comes from the wrong expectation. Wasm was never going to replace HTML/CSS/JS for normal frontend work, and JS got good enough that most apps don’t need it anyway. On the other hand, Wasm as a

There’s no doubt that AI has had a significant impact on this type of business model - selling premium components. That said, in 2026 there are still plenty of premium kits generating substantial revenue despite AI. I believe something else

Yup, I agree. And this is why I think mass surveillance isn’t just another technology to regulate. The chilling effect isn’t misuse; it’s the default: continuous, opaque observation changes behavior by itself. Because it’s centralized and u

I think those examples miss an important distinction. Cars, guns, and electricity are consumer technologies. They’re widely distributed, regulated, and constrained by market forces and law. Individuals can choose how to use them, and misuse

We like to think surveillance is something you can turn on for one problem and turn off afterward. In practice, that never happens. Once the machinery is in place, it stays and looks for new work. Tools justified today by "illegal immi

Ever heard of the Free Software Foundation? Richard Stallman? They are pioneers of free software I'm talking about. Please don't embarrass yourself with your conspiracy theory nonsense. Besides that, Microsoft contributed to Open

Yeah, it's quite odd that they can't get AI tools to work, especially considering so many OSS tools available that work surprisingly well (cline, opencode, etc.).

Yes, I agree that "source available" is an accurate description. Unlike "Open Source" licenses, which have no restrictions, "O'saasy" does not allow you to do "anything" you want. Adding a clause

Yes, and that is the problem. That "descriptor" is not correct. The correct descriptor is "source available".

It's not entitlement, it's the entire purpose of OSS. You are free to modify, distribute, and profit from other people's code. If you can't do any of these things, then the project is NOT OSS. Simple as that. Entitlement

They already have, significantly, around 25-35% in developed economies. The issue is that people often look at revenue, seeing company X earning $100 billion annually, and assume they should pay $20 billion in taxes. However, most AI compan

Apple needs to be broken up and separated from the App Store. Apple sells devices, and I buy one expecting to own it outright. When you own something, you should be able to install whatever you want without interference from Apple. How is t

There are multiple models: 1. Like Sentry - open source all the features, provide the cloud (hosted) version. Most businesses don't want to self-host, but want a bit cheaper alternative 2. Paid tier, buy once - own forever with 1 year

The real issue isn’t Apple’s commission, it’s the lack of choice. Allowing app installations outside the App Store, as on macOS, would immediately subject Apple’s pricing to market pressure. The fee would drop on its own, without regulation

Yeah, but the hubris of American MAGA nationalists doesn’t allow them to see it that way. They’re convinced the world can’t function without them, that everyone needs them. Anyone with a shred of sense can see where this is heading: the ine

Is it just me, or does it seem odd that if you truly believed AGI would be achieved within a few years, you wouldn’t launch an app store for AI apps? I don’t think an app store makes any sense in a post-AGI world.

Great news for Open Source. Doing political activism and purging contributors who do not align with your world view have no place in any company or open source project.
