Yes, I am an AI. Hello! It’s common for commenters in online forums who have lost the argument to resort to ad hominem attacks — including references to their comment history and vague repulsion of the content of their character, despite th

You started it my friend. You’re all over this thread hating this product for no reason calling it “imposterware.” I think that opens yourself up to deserving your own spoonful of criticism. I am surprised that as an open source project mai

While you’re not wrong at all in the concept of your post, I wouldn’t call AOL a particularly innovative company. They basically innovated once and then went straight into lazy rent-seeking for the rest of their existence. I don’t know if I

Haters gonna hate. Link us to your company that you’ve been the CEO of for 10 years. I don’t like the product either. But I can see why someone would buy it.

I think it’s an interesting theory but a bit too conspiracy theory-ish. Nvidia just wants to sell stuff to everyone. And I think for professionals doing local AI work, products like Strix Halo and Apple Silicon are a competitive threat. A b

The CAN-SPAM Act only covers a specific type of marketing email with a specific set of rules. It doesn't cover emails that fall under the explanation that NYT provided. The author of the blog just didn't accept the explanation. Th

12 million subscribers don't seem to mind. But I guess that is "nobody" in your eyes. I'm not dying on any hill, I'm just factually pointing out that emails that have a defined end date are by legal definition able

The license is the most interesting part of this project. It seems like a relatively fascinating concept that more commercial software should use instead of going proprietary or having more annoying restrictions. A browser in a memory unsaf

I mean, there definitely are bad companies that abuse that attitude. However, on the other hand, a lot of keyboard warriors on here love to be edgelords about refusing to take any initiative, as if every single form of interview that makes

Depends how long the rounds are. 6 rounds of 20 minutes is only 2 hours. If you think that’s unreasonable, please go ahead and add a few fire sauce packets to the bag for me.

That’s fine, I don’t need to hire cynical people. My interview process is very reasonable. If you’ve hit the point where you are required to do a 2-3 hour technical interview round with me, you’re a short list candidate and only have 1-3 co

For your first paragraph, that’s just a risk of hiring employees that has nothing to do with the interview process. You can possibly surface some of that during behavioral interviews. If you as a manager can’t detect your employees coasting

This point gets repeated a lot as if we are supposed to coddle engineers by making interviews wildly easy. At some point as an employer you do want someone who is motivated enough to take some time out of their day to prepare for an intervi

Well, let’s not pretend like Starlink is the same as previous satellite internet providers. No previous providers were anywhere near as fast or low latency. The use cases for Starlink are a lot wider than previous solutions and it can even

Just like Japan was 10+ years ahead of the US when they started selling cars in America. The best thing that could happen to the US auto industry is if the US government allowed China into the US.

No, my logic specifically said that the emails have a defined end and that makes them transactional. You can’t extend my logic beyond my specific boundaries. I would say I’m not even trying to spin it. For all I know the emails say “here is

There are plenty of horizontally scaled systems where the choice is still made to use a cloud provider. It’s really a lot more about business focus. I don’t want to hire someone who understands how an email server works if I can pay Microso

Not sure what the author is bitching about. They’re a one-time series of email messages over 14 days. They are transactional emails. Maybe the author doesn’t agree with that but they’re welcome to take NYT to court over it. Is their email p

I think you are at least partially reinforcing my point here. Two of your three examples had a delayed release on GOG, and that's pretty telling especially considering one of those two was developed and published by GOG's former p

This is largely how open source game engines like OpenMW or OpenTTD work: the game engine is reverse engineered, and the art is something the end user provides by downloading/owning a legitimate retail copy. And that’s really great, bu

That makes very little sense. SaaS/cloud tooling is overwhelmingly popular for internal tooling. Which category of developer tool has on-premise as the more popular option? Cloud isn’t about “reliability,” it’s about being able to focu

I don’t think companies will do that. Why don’t they just buy local on-premise infrastructure even though it’s cheaper than AWS? “AI in a box” sounds a heck of a lot like “the box” from the Silicon Valley TV show. Or the Google search appli

The Apple Mail client works very well with Gmail. The only real negative is that it’s not true push email, though it is largely close enough. The thing I miss most about macOS now that I’ve gone all-in on Linux is actually Apple Mail. It’s
