Intent (should) be what matters. If you want to learn how to train AI and use copyrighted material in your learning - I don’t care in the slightest at all. In fact if you do this as a nonprofit or at an educational institution in a teaching

“Fair use” allows for educational usage of copyrighted material. Technically it probably is not fair use as Microsoft isn’t an educational institution or a nonprofit. But come on … these guides really are for learning purposes. Doesn’t seem

Yea agree.. This is the same discussion point that came up last time they had an incident. I really don’t buy this requirement to always deploy state changes 100% globally immediately. Why can’t they just roll out to 1%, scaling to 100% ov

Code and Config should be treated similarly. If you would use a ring based rollout, canaries, etc for safely changing your code, then any config that can have the same impact must also use safe rollout techniques.

by JB_Dev 10mo ago
Does their ring based rollout really truly have to be 0->100% in a few seconds? I don’t really buy this requirement. At least make it configurable with a more reasonable default for “routine” changes. E.g. ramping to 100% over 1 hour. As

You are 100% correct but really these engineers should go read the guidance - it’s pretty clear what is required: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/cl...

Nah this is just microsofts quality bar in general. AI will only accelerate the decline.

100% agree. i’m not sure why everyone is clowning on them here. This process is a win. Do people want this all being hidden instead in a forked private repo? It’s showing the actual capabilities in practice. That’s much better and way more

I actually have the opposite position on this. 1st world countries already have the funds and economy to pursue exactly what you describe. Just they lack the political will. I don’t care to subsidise that intentional lack of investment. I w

Call me pessimistic, but as the sidewalk pattern becomes more common for IoT, I wouldn’t be surprised if a “malfunctioning radio” just results in the device not working properly.

Make it a roundabout with protected pedestrian crossings. That forces drivers to be looking at the conflict point with pedestrians as they manoeuvre the roundabout.

If you do not wait in the intersection itself then you would never get a chance to turn in many intersections. The only solution is to always wait in the intersection itself.

Execs talk to customers all the time and so wouldn’t auto delete emails tagged external.

In an actual emergency, cell towers may not function. AM has significantly further range too and is pretty easy to standup as a backup for an area. It’s also incredibly common for road conditions to still be shared over AM - you see this a

Eventually you get data residency asks to keep data in the right region and for that you need to have horizontal partitioning of some kind.

The time investment here doesn’t really make sense to me. That 70% savings was actually only $33 a month. Was it really worth spending that dev time and effort for such a small return rather than the product itself? And yea now you get to m

This has been described as similar to Uber/Lyft surging but it’s different in a few critical ways that I suspect consumers are less tolerant of. When Uber/Lyft are surging it incentivise more drivers to go to the surge area. This

I’ve done something similar in one of our production services. There was a problem with extremely long GC pauses during Gen2 garbage collection (.NET uses a multigenerational GC design). Pauses could be many seconds long or more than a minu

It’s pretty simple - software engineering compensation can be 2x-4x or more in the US compared to other western democracies. Money circumvents a lot of the problems you describe.

I used to agree with you until I saw this presentation by Jim Keller, one of the biggest names in chip architecture. It really illustrates how many more options we have to improve performance. https://www.youtube.com/live&#x

Nvidia and really all chip designers are limited by the fab companies who are trying to scale as fast as they can. But all the cutting edge fabs are limited by one single supplier - ASML. ASML make the lithography machines and have a total

I have been in this situation too and tried to do the ‘polite’ thing and sit somewhere else. Then of course another group comes along and I am in their spot. So now when this happens I refuse the suggestion and ask whoever is in my seat to

You missed this critical part “you easily make enough money to…” If you are making >$250K year, an extra $2500/month is not a significant bump. Especially as it is temporary while you are between jobs. Temporary could even be a year

Pretty much, yea. You easily make enough money to pay for COBRA. Then if that runs out you can get (an admittedly bad) plan from the marketplace. But it all comes back to point (1) - the amount you make more than makes up for it.

If my ride-sharing app charges riders half the price, I think we’ll get quite a few riders in a short amount of time. Uber won’t be able to compete.

I was sufficiently curious and just went and tested this using BenchmarkDotNet. The example code is here ( https://github.com/J-Bax/CSharpBenchmarkExamples ). The difference is quite significant. (1) With the authors cod

It looks like most of the languages are doing the same thing w.r.t using a 'List'-style implementation that re-sizes/copies it's internal buffer when it runs out of space. One thing I wonder though is whether the managed
