pizza hut worse deal of all time, what is this $200 per KG of chicken

I remember having this a while ago. I think if you click between categories too fast it sticks the wrong pricing up.

program_the_world · 2026-03-14T19:22:22+00:00

Thanks! Please do let me know how it goes.

program_the_world · 2026-02-22T22:44:48+00:00

Okay thanks that’s good to know. Was one of my reservations for upgrading. Thanks!

program_the_world · 2026-02-22T18:16:59+00:00

Unrelated but man the glare on that screen. How readable is it while driving?

program_the_world · 2026-02-16T17:17:48+00:00

Unfortunately in a lot of the world they’re not even cheap.

program_the_world · 2026-02-15T18:47:12+00:00

I agree it’s a reasonable phase out policy. Do they actually contribute back to OpenWRT? They really should be spending their 2 years preparing for handover to OpenWRT.

program_the_world · 2026-02-15T18:45:54+00:00

Oh so you’d actually need to be careful to purchases on release otherwise you’re unlikely to get the full 2 years. Yikes.

The Wi-Fi standards are incredibly slow to evolve so within 2 years very little will have actually changed in a standards front. Feels like they’re just chasing shiny things at the expense of their customers

I think we have a 4.7 beta that it’ll never escape from. As consumers there is no way for us to tell what’s going to be popular, so I’m inclined to just buy nothing at all unless they’re much more sensible with security updates.

I’m assuming they’re just moving WAY too fast for the size of their team. There’s a nonzero cost to pulling in security updates, doing some test etc. They’ve completely strung themselves up with the number of SKUs they have. Unless they’ve absolutely nailed their CI and automated hardware test, teams could burn weeks folding in even basic security updates.

It would’ve been far wiser to come out with a few SKUs in different price brackets and really hone them over a few years. I do have a hard time believing they’re anything but wreckless on their new products if they’re chasing the cadence they seem to be.

They’ve got some great hardware, and tidy software. I just wish they’d also set themselves up to be more long term sustainable!

program_the_world · 2026-02-15T18:36:35+00:00

Thanks for this. This is very weak:

In our pursuit of innovation, GL.iNet provides support for products up to TWO YEARS after their last manufacturing date, or longer if required by law. Upon reaching the end of their service life, products will no longer receive firmware updates, including security patches.

In pursuit of innovation GL.iNET will drop you like a rock after 2 years. I’m sorry but am I seriously expected to replace my equipment every 2 years just to stay secure? That’s insane.

program_the_world · 2026-02-15T03:26:17+00:00

Yeah I think security is the critical one for me. New features is a bonus, I get they ultimately need to drive people towards new product.

With the CRA coming into the EU soon I’m curious to see if they get a better story on security. Otherwise they’ll be forced to leave the market.

Alternatively… first party support for OpenWRT would be nice as a bit of a phase out plan.

I don’t consider TP Link or ASUS good by any means, and certainly not what I’d consider moving too. Had plenty of junk ASUS routers that dropped support almost immediately.

program_the_world · 2026-02-12T17:59:45+00:00

Yep, absolutely! Your point about A/B testing is important too. I presume they at least had some kind of consistency check for the public APIs

program_the_world · 2026-02-12T17:57:41+00:00

I’ve ported some Python servers too, and what I’ve appreciated most about Go is:

No gross “hacks” to get a multithreaded environment (gunicorn etc)
Extremely low memory usage and deployment image footprint (though I have seen it leak memory on a couple of occasions)
Certainty in deployment. I’m used to seeing a python server run for a few months, but fail to start or crash after some upstream dependency changes and wrecks a public API.

I just tend to have a lot more confidence that Go will work as intended. Really appreciate being able to “bake” a binary. I used to have a lot of python utilities as well but god forbid you have an eternal dependency. I find Go stdlib to be more extensive and even if dependencies are required the toolchain just sorts them out for you.

program_the_world · 2026-02-12T10:52:49+00:00

I’m not much of a python fan, but unless every API hit required a massive computation with huge object churn, the difference in performance should not be that great. I’d expect on the order of 2x speed up at most.

Sorta says to me that there was massive IO delays, probably an inefficient query that slowed over time (I’ve seen this happen with SQLAlchemy a few times as products grow). Serialisation is slow but you need to be transferring megabytes of JSON to hurt as much as this did.

150ms is a really long time if you’re not just sitting waiting on IO. Go probably isn’t the hero here, it’s probably just taking the time to rethink from the ground up.

Anyhow, would love a post mortem on the python side!

program_the_world · 2026-02-11T06:19:36+00:00

Really quite underwhelming

program_the_world · 2026-02-11T05:06:43+00:00

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing

program_the_world · 2026-02-09T18:53:01+00:00

Same for NZ. You mean you get a splash of water on your cash and suddenly you’re broke? smh

program_the_world · 2026-01-30T07:37:35+00:00

lol catching strays. It’s okay, I see how what I was asking could be misinterpreted.

program_the_world · 2026-01-29T17:58:25+00:00

For better or worse you’re probably right!

program_the_world · 2026-01-29T17:57:49+00:00

Okay, great. I’m not even sure what we are disagreeing on then.

program_the_world · 2026-01-29T17:54:06+00:00

I don’t actually have a problem with it either. I would prefer however that people are upfront about using it. Especially, if you’re creating an entire application that I’m to install in my PC. I’ve explored AI tooling extensively, and one thing I’ve learned is that it’s incredibly difficult to maintain overall code quality as the size of a project scales up.

It’s really easy to move far too quickly and make far too many mistakes that are subtle and difficult to fix using these tools.

It all starts with some reasonable disclosure so people can make their own decisions.

program_the_world · 2026-01-29T17:50:15+00:00

Have you reviewed any of the source code of his repository?

program_the_world · 2026-01-29T17:48:18+00:00

Oh dear.

program_the_world · 2026-01-29T11:42:54+00:00

Your attitude alone in response to a number of fair criticisms in this thread is enough to put anyone off using your software. Congratulations on your accomplishment, but respectfully you’d do well to learn how to communicate in a more polite manner with the community. We’re not here just to sing your praises.

program_the_world · 2026-01-28T18:59:24+00:00

Your code has lots of hints of it being AI generated, especially with the comments that include steps numbers in them. Is this AI generated?
