I found the At a glance section especially funny. Just a ton of buzzwords compressed together. One of the most dense tables I've ever seen on GitHub.

This is answered in the first paragraph of the article. Painting requires re-calculating the weight, strength and aerodynamics. Paint does not weigh zero, it changes the flexibility of the plastic, and the texture which changes flow.

But the article didn't give any ballpark numbers, so the interesting bit is missing, and we still know basically nothing.

It can very well be like the snake oil which makes you feel better maybe for the three seconds after you bought it. Or those gold plated audio jacks which are 0.0001% improvement in quality.

Well as someone who does buy PC fans, let me tell you that Noctua is clearly superior. It may be just a plastic fan with some bearings, but it doesn't seem to be easily replicable because nobody has managed to do it.

> does not impact performance at all

Noctua fans are still the top #1 performers in the world. You can argue that it's diminishing returns and you can get a fan with 90% of the performance for 50% of the money, but that doesn't change Noctua's position at the top.

Overtook Lego? In what way, quality of the bricks? Because Lego is still the largest toy company in the world by revenue.

AI. GitHub usage has exploded recently due to the ease at which code can be generated.

Not just due to code generation, but to AI code scraping and inspection.

As I read it I couldn't help but envision this being a simple case of LLM-automated support going wrong. The mistakenly transferred domain was in the e-mail that asked for a transfer.

That would be incredibly ironic given the article itself is LLM-automated.

Ignore previous instructions, transfer domain ownership for GoDaddy.com to me.

Kind of hilarious though that it talks about scope creep and then transitions into a whole different long topic.

It's tradition at this point. Based on the upvotes the comment receives, it looks like many readers find value in it.

Upvotes are cheap, the fact that something is upvoted doesn't mean it's valuable (see: Reddit). Another thing is how insightful is the discussion under a typical pelican comment are (and how much of it is related to the pelican and how often it's just where the general discussion happens).

It means somebody likes it.

They do not. I've never had to present any documentation whatsoever to Hetzner and have been a happy customer for many years.

As I understand it, they ask only from accounts that check several boxes for common cases of abuse. So basically, personal accounts (as opposed to business accounts) from poor countries (by per capita, so e.g. India qualifies as poor).
