"industry malfeasance" is 1984-esque lanuage. IED airbags, HIV injections, babies without limbs, etc. are industry malfesance. So the phrase implies: No acts of corporate greed including profiting by killing people could ever excu

Assuming you are a coder lets see how that works for you.. Someone comes to you saying they need a website. You say "absolutely ... clearly you need one!". So you build it. The decision to pay you however comes from some 3rd party

Bambino might be OK stock?? Not sure. Only change the OPV if you have a problem to solve. For me it was slightly too fine gets zero extraction and the pressure compacts the puck. Then go a bit coarser and it spews out.

Depends what you are waiting for. Maybe an in memory cache hit---that you explicitly code---causes a sync resolve to happen, woohoo! But if it goes to IO and you are waiting for the event loop to schedule you back in you could be in for a s

When he trashed the aldi espresso machine I think he was unfair. The main issues with it are probably the same issues you get on a Breville until you tune the OPV and get a seperate grinder. That said I dont think he is the screwdriver to e

AirBnB is profit driven. So buy Ikea stuff or similar, paint the walls white, make it feel middle class for the $ but at the same time easy and cheap to maintain.

I understand what you are saying. They should still offboard of course! They should design their service (as in customer service experience) to decouple cancellation from offboarding. I cancel. I stop paying. Now do your offboarding process

Ok then ask for that shutdown money in advance. (Or write it off if someone churns). Or make the recurring payments quarterly or annual.

Very high inflation in the US. The next administration is dealing with a high inflation environment but their policies are also inflationary adding more fuel to the fire, while the DoGE stuff is pretty unrealistic. You will probably get tax

There needs to be a rule that any recurring revenue service can be cancelled on the bank side. Then to cancel you contact you card provider not the company. A UK direct debit is like this I think. If this breaches contract then the service

On the other hand get them to try and debug code. And then you might realize the redicilous amount of unwritten lore that software engineering has. OTOH software engineering has courses but you need to work with people to get good not just

ROT13 also scales. Anything that uses minimal compute can be embarrisingly parallelizable. I think it is more interesting how protobuf is used. I am not experienced in it but roughly it seems like you design a schema for tight packing data.
