So beyond LinkedIn, what sort of channels are you using now? Is it basically all about paying influencers?

Mostly, yes! They use a very specific clay from a producer which went out of business a few years ago. They've bought up all the stock they can and use that clay for pretty much all of the character puppets, along with other materials.

This seems a lot like Cloudflare OS ( https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-os/ ). Is that a fair comparison? If so I'd be keen to understand how this differs aside from not being baked into the Cloudflare estate.

Of course! I don't see how anyone could expect to excel at a craft without also studying the work of others. This is where AI concerns me for people who are juniors in their field (software or otherwise). You get quick answers which do

I'm a hands on engineering leader for a team of about 20 engineers and I've been spending the past 6 months trying to get my team to understand just this. On Friday we had a coffee hour to share how we've been working recentl

I've been using elixir professionally and for hobby work for the past 7 years now. Language models are damn good at it, and have been for some time. The language isn't huge, the documentation has always been very good, and the pat

That assumes that they do actually believe it's a mistake. They didn't explain the reasons they've gone for this architecture in much/any detail. I'd be interested in hearing them talk more about that in the future.

This is also my view. These sorts of roles can have a very high impact and be very successful if everyone feels like they're rowing in the same direction. The people in those roles need make people feel like there is value in seeking t

I've got two small projects on the go right now! The first is a piece of small charity / business governance tech. I'm a trustee of a small charity in the UK, and my wife has been a senior leader of one in the past as well. A

Two reasons really. First, there have been instances of bot networks allowing people to buy stars on their repos. This was more common back a few years ago but I'm sure they still operate. Second, stars don't denote usage or downl

I'm not sure the star count means much these days. Regardless, the tool seems interesting. Thanks for adding the videos into the readme as well, it seems quite polished from those - although I've not tried it out myself.

GitHub is big. They'll be doing lots of things all at once. This is probably just a case of some normal component replacement for some maintenance reason. I'm as frustrated as anyone about the lack of stability and the hard pivot

My alert thresholds are $8 and $10 because I only use aws for some backups to S3. It was reporting my actual spend as $425 billion, and forecast at $777 billion. I thought it was a bad phishing email first, when I saw it in the console I ju

The British constitution is unwritten and based on centuries of convention which are so old they are considered law... Sort of. From what I can tell there isn't anything about identity in the way you're suggesting. However there a

It's also worth noting that he's being investigated by the Parliamentary Standards Committee. Now that he has stepped down as an MP, that investigation would ordinarily be paused (and is from what I can tell). It would be resumed

All of these are the problem of the business, and negatively impact the employees ability to disconnect and enjoy their free time. If you need an executive assistant to be available in the evenings, hire evening cover. If it's not wort

I think the messaging is just a bit confusing. You've said this had no ads and no subscription, and then people see you want them to create an account. If there's no money being paid, and no ads then the next conclusion is either

I spent several years working for a competitor of Ticketmaster. The industry is really difficult to break into. First, there's the chicken and egg problem of content (events) and consumers. One big part of the sales process is a venue

I don't think we're anywhere close to the downfall of GitHub. It'll be a very slow decay. The fact is, lots of people are very happy using AI tools, and most of those hook straight into GitHub. If AI is driving all this new c

If their technology choices are holding them back it just means the product becomes more turbulent as they desperately thrash for a way to make more money. A protocol isn't a good enough reason for investors not getting their payday. T

Could you elaborate on the issues with their S3 compatible storage? I've been considering it and haven't seen too many issues in my testing, beyond the lack of identity control.

Absolutely not, that would prevent profits to big political donors. Instead we should ban bash oneliners, or ID gate them. No loops or pipes (etc) unless you've handed over government issued ID.

Google pay Mozilla hundreds of millions of dollars each year to place Google as the default browser. It's by far their biggest income stream. In 2023 it was reported as 75% of their revenue. There's no world in which 75% of your r
