Edit: I was incorrect / non-American, I was thinking of your FAA.

If you couldn't be bothered to write it yourself, why should I read it? The same goes for the overly-complex components that express the same idea over and over again, but somehow without adding any clarity.


The wheel you have to spin to have a chance of seeing a new paragraph is so uniquely aggravating it almost feels satirical, like those overcomplicated volume slider UI concepts people were making a while ago. [0]

AI;DR Vercel pricing is intentionally opaque and you are likely experience a massive bill, your site being taken offline, or both.


First time I’m seeing AI;DR. I think I’m going to be using that a lot.


I think we can agree that when they're executing innocent citizens in the street, the agency is no longer effective.


I agree with you. What would an effective immigration enforcement agency look like?


Sorry but there is no chance you get a good faith reply


Nobody cares about the DMCA guardrails and they are never meaningfully enforced. Case in point, Anthropic DMCAing thousands of repositories that simply mentioned the word "claude".


Can you explain how your example supports your conclusion? I don't follow.


Orbital data centres are a stupid concept.


What are you talking about? X is exclusively the domain of terminally-online people.


No that's reddit, Facebook, insta and TikTok.

It's funny how excited you are about BlueSky, a place that I would imagine you don't go? But somehow you know all about it?


>It's funny how excited you are about BlueSky

Nowhere did I state I'm excited about BkueSky.

>a place that I would imagine you don't go?

I view BlueSky posts sporadically, including posts submitted here on HN.

>But somehow you know all about it?

I did not claim that I "know all about it."


How is that worse? Leaving it open signals to anyone searching about it that's it's still an issue of concern. It will show up in filters for active bugs, etc. Closing it without fixing it just obfuscates the situation. It costs nothing (except pride?) to leave "Issues (1)" if there is indeed an Issue.


To some people "open" means "not fixed" whereas to others it means "more work planned". I've worked on projects with both interpretations and it's fine as long as everyone is on the same page.

> It costs nothing (except pride?) to leave "Issues (1)" if there is indeed an Issue.

In our case we omit bugs we couldn't reproduce from the issues list due to practicality, not pride -- our software has tens of thousands of unreproducible bugs and having them show up in reports would drown out planned work.

And it's not like anyone deleted or locked the unreproducible bugs, they are either tracked as "open but unreproducible" or "closed because unreproducible". Either way they're still in the database in case more information comes along, but still filtered out of the vast majority of dashboards.


Recent Wikipedia articles are kind of an oxymoron; Wikipedia by design is meant to be a tertiary source, downstream of both news media but also mainstream scholarship. The problem is that it's "an encyclopaedia anyone can edit" — and that inherently means a rush to create or update articles when news outlets publish something novel.

While news media is an acceptable source, proper peer-reviewed journals and other scientific publications are preferred. People would do well to remember Wikipedia is NOTNEWS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_no...).


I find the source collating of Wikipedia helpful for recent events. That's when you're going to get most editor interest to improve the page and readers to consume it.

Yeah basing articles on scholarly books is good, but not every topic will be covered and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3AThe_deadline_is_no...


Not every topic will be covered yet. While *The deadline is now* is an essay, *WP:NOTNEWS* is policy — and inherent in an encyclopedia.


Yeah WP:NOTNEWS is policy, and it starts with

> In principle, all Wikipedia articles should contain up-to-date information. Editors are also encouraged to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events.

There clearly is editor and reader interest in making decent quality articles on major current events. Yes they may contain errors that the history book on topic won't contain, but I still think it's worth having. Just mind the things to avoid listed in WP:NOTNEWS and I think we will be fine

And I don't think everything will ever be covered in a book. There is not an infinite amount of scholars studying every random significant event. And those will probably use the same news articles as one of their sources anyway.


Unfortunately to survive the next few hundred years, we may need another dictator of human behaviour than what the market wants.


Rewritten *into* Flutter? People should be rewriting away from Flutter.


https://blog.zulip.com/2025/06/17/flutter-mobile-app-launche... and the previous blog post linked from there gives some context as to why we rewrote the Zulip mobile apps from React Native to Flutter.

Our Flutter experience over the last few months since launch has been very positive. Most importantly, development velocity is much faster than it was on React Native.


To what? What is the alternative?


Expo/RN TBH.


Looks to be some sort of subscription licensed framework, and lacks desktop support. Why should I move off an open source platform onto a hosted solution? Especially in the context of OP’s situation.


It's just react native tooling


Native is also a good option, for something used that extensively.


I believe Flutter was chosen because of somewhat easy way of keeping common codebase for both iOS and Android clients. Not trivial, and at least it renders natively :V


Flutter compiles to native though? I’m not sure I understand what you are saying.


Flutter "compiles to native," but the UI is just a giant canvas they paint themselves. React Native uses real native views, so you get actual platform widgets, accessibility, and OS-level optimizations instead of shipping your own game engine.

Also, Google has a habit of hyping projects then quietly killing them (I sadly took the Polymer ride).


Makepad looks really promising


Why?
