I share this feeling too. The latest models, even if not necessarily frontier, say Opus 5, Sol high and the likes, I could keep using these models forever even if they did not significantly improve beyond this point. I also believe we'

Among other reasons (good citizen, not getting permabanned…), chargebacks aren't really a thing in Europe — they often require a police report, etc. Amex being the exception, but this wasn't.

Kind of unrelated but: my father tried gifting my brother a subscription but entered the wrong email. Money and subscription are both gone — UI just doesn't have the option of amending, cancelling or resending it. For the last couple w

got-your-back uses Gmail's API instead of IMAP with an insecure app password, which is a discouraged way of accessing Gmail and will eventually be phased out in favor of OAuth access tokens over IMAP (in fact, I thought it already had

I have a colleague based in the UK who got infected with COVID in the early days of the pandemic, before any measures were taken. He still has important health issues - and he's young (under 30). Similarly, I have a friend who got infe

Maybe it was based on seeing what happened in other countries, ie. Spain and Italy? I can say for sure that the impact in the health care system here in Spain was very significant.

I started out with PHP at a very very young age and eventually moved on to other platforms (mainly Python). Not looking to question your experience - but actually recalling my own. Making a chat app was one of the first things I did. It was

The post clearly states that users can install extensions through the developer's website. The main difference here is that extensions cannot be silently installed — users have to explicitly install them. Sounds good to me. No more ann

Agree on this. It was… weird to see someone making a correlation between "not enjoying porn on display during a security conference" and the gender of the person. It's good that they're filtering it, it's bad that t

$200k and up, for a Senior Software Engineer, is something that's only "frequent" in the U.S. (and varying a lot based on specific locations). With rentals costing many thousands of $ a month, significant healthcare costs, a

110k in France is a lot. And I reckon you can buy a house (well, depending on your standards) with that salary and some discipline…

I meant Mandrill—Mandrill was a significant mistake. SendGrid is working great for us. So sorry.

We choose SendGrid long time ago to unify all our mail infrastructure under one provider and it was a significant mistake. Now, we're heavily relying on SendGrid but some systems still depend on Mandrill and we're slowly migrating

You don't want ABS? How about no airbag either? And doing away with safety belts as well? The bulk of the cost of producing an electric car comes from battery packs, and cost is also increased because the reduced production numbers can

In this very minute my team is unable to deploy (and therefore accumulating blockings) because of issues with Gitlab. We have a plan on-hold to migrate off Gitlab (even though we just migrated to it!) and while I'd love to stay on Gitl

GitLab's recent performance has been abysmal. We recently moved from a self-hosted git solution to GitLab, and while the CI, 'namespacing' and issue tracking are truly great and well thought of, we've had entire days whe

In our case, data migration. Resumable, sometimes dies because of various reasons (or just infra rescaling happening), but takes very long to run.

Good point. I'd rather have something explicit going on. In other places where we do use RabbitMQ (for short-lived, non-critical tasks), the listening processes log reconnects every once in a while, even with heartbeat.

Not exactly. Tasks can last for weeks. It can run fine for several days and then die, and it needs to be requeued, until it is explicitly finished. In fact, we do use RabbitMQ to emit "status updates". With RabbitMQ, I'd need

This looks promising. I'm currently dealing with a queuing-related issue. I have a series of tasks running across servers that consume from a queue and run a task. Often, these tasks die mid-execution (but can be resumed by any other s

I agree with the pricy bit. I've made a calculation, and it would cost me 1200$ a month to run what Cloudflare does for free. Now, I get that free is not an option. 50/100$ a month is probably OK. But that's beyond reasonable
