VC-backed software is unreliable and is not future-proof, just as a rule of thumb
Optimizing the basics is the way to go. Too long we've relied on inefficient/incomplete dependencies that would took too long to rewrite manually.
Rust developers (of The Rust, not working With) are on the generation run to make the Edition 2027 the dream language. Wow. But I can't see the reason why - AI is banned there and it's not like any new cash grants were given to them... Just a random lock in, it seems...

I can't even get the sub for the post to be seen by someone as X tries to give me Turkish prices and ofc declines my card when I try to buy it, I do not live in Turkey 😭
just published a small library for bounded integer types
github.com/loncothad/rebound…
the type of const parameters must not depend on other generic parameters
the type must not depend on the parameter `T`
literally 1984
* no renewal price on the search page
* no bulk buy feature
* laggy (thanks Next.js and React)
* no info about TLD
* 10 MB of data for no real reason
* strange "Relevance" sorting (supposedly .archi > .fyi > .co ???)
* search doesn't support RegEx for some unknown reason
Vercel Domains just got a full rebuild:
• Search without logging in
• Instant, streaming search results
• At-cost pricing (up to 50% lower)
• Private search, with no logging
• Support for 500+ TLDs
• Multi-domain checkout
Try it now at vercel.com/domains
hey, Chrome, are you ok? it's not like I've ever searched anything about Firefox in the last year too
now that I've learned how the F-Droid repository server works I hate F-Droid even more - burn it to the ground please

Your "zero-access design" claim is a lie, you absolutely can see account content when emails arrive from non-Proton users, which is the majority of email traffic, But I'll get back to that in a minute...
@phrack has been around longer than Google, and are OG's in the hacking scene that predate even social media wtf did you think would happen?
You're CEO responded earlier, so there 100% was a 'chance to respond' so that's another lie, also it's not like all this came about 10 minutes ago.
The CERT excuse is hollow, CERTs issue advisories, they don’t order account suspensions as they are not law enforcement. By you're own admission you killed the accounts because CERT complained, and that's even worse, IF you couldn't see the context of the messages.
Proton chose to act on an unverified tip and then tried to frame it as an unavoidable mandate.
You scan, filter, and process plaintext messages before encryption, giving you complete visibility into correspondence from Gmail, Outlook, and every other external provider.
Your spam filtering system literally requires reading message content to function, proving you have routine access to user communications. Stop hiding behind "zero-access" marketing when you demonstrably possess the technical capability to read most emails passing through your servers, the same capability you just used to identify and disable accounts based on their activity patterns.

Proton sells “privacy” and kills accounts on a CERT tip. A complaint ≠ court order.
Proton is Swiss, CERTs are advisories, not subpoenas. They suspend first, litigate never.
They admit thousands of compliance actions.
If they wanted to fight it they could, in turn forcing a court order. They didn’t. They folded, same as ALWAYS.

It's the debugging loop that really gets me.
You can spend more time verifying and correcting an AI's output than it would have taken to just write the thing yourself.
The cost isn't just time, it's the cognitive load of context-switching between building and auditing.
