Looks like an extremely cool concept, but I'm wary about how many bugs I'd run into trying to use it if the code has had as little effort put into it as the website.

I think I'll keep just making up basic sketches when I need to work with one of these protocols - it's also nice that if I do that, when I see it work, I know I can expand functionality from there into what I need.


the firmware is in a very different state from the website. The codebase has a test suite, and hundreds of people are already using it, so it’s had a lot more work and real world testing

There is a big difference between intellisense and LLMs. I've never used intellisense to input something I wasn't already looking for/about to type out. It just saved me remembering the exact wording and/or keystrokes.


Damn. But hopefully they improve on that. I would absolutely be considering one if this wasn't the case


that's the thing about these "open" devices, there's always one "would absolutely be considering" use case that they never meet. makes it real easy to not buy one ;)


Inventing Snow Crash. Neat.


See Zuck, the metaverse failed, but who said the mind control part couldn't work?


Hmmm. I select "line > 2 points" and attempt to draw a line. I see nothing when I move my mouse over the canvas or click.

In a default native install, I get a crosshair and grid dots, and when I select "line > 2 points" I can click on the canvas twice and I get a line between those locations.

Edit: All tools appear to be broken and clicking on the canvas after selecting a tool doesn't draw anything.

I also tried in an incognito tab in case it was an extension or cache issue, still nothing.


Are you sure you created a new canvas first? Should be black, not grayish.


Small ones, too!


Agreed, I have no experience with VC anything, but I was still nodding along the whole time as I was reading.


same. substitute VC with upper management and I (corporate dev through and through) became more queasy as I read. product and strategic mismanagement is the real deal regardless of the source of capital


This is extremely useful and cool. I dream of having visualizations like this for anything I buy that has specifications.


Kind of crazy to me that anyone would block an entire TLD. This timeline is bizarre. How often and with what services do you find zip blocked? Genuinely curious


My employer blocks it on our work computers. Looking around it seems like this is commonly done because one of the main uses of the .zip tld is to spread malware by faking links to zip files using "/" look alike characters and other URLs that look like download links to zip files.


Well by that token we should probably also block the .com TLD since that is actually an executable file suffix.


Modern 64-bit Windows doesn't execute .com files, unless the user installs an emulator or something.


It does execute PE files with .com extension.

I get asked this a lot, so here's my defense!


I had little opinion on .zip but this convinced me to go figure out how to block .zip tld. Why would someone risk all those attack vectors when there is so much available on the many other tlds. I could see myself getting caught by many of them.


this timeline is bizarre because someone allowed TLD with common filetype name be created

ideally it should've been killed the moment it was created to become a lesson for everyone else


so I guess you would also support killing another TLD with a common filetype:

That ship sailed when ".com" was created.


Yeah. It was so obvious to me I didn't think about it until I read the comments. Makes sense that it would trip some people up, though.
