Was always wanting to do something like this before they swapped ours out for a SaaS+hardware butterfly mx thing. Those Doorkings have had to get replaced at so many buildings in Seattle now that criminals figured out how easy they were to

Plus the Wachowskis have Chicago street names throughout.

Love it - was walking with a friend near Martin Place they pointed out the "Reflection" sculpture that was in the movie during the red dress training exercise.

Any leak with your mobile and name pair could have done that. As a non-AT&T customer, I get the my-speecific-name pig butchering texts, too.

I think it's a mix. We're learning a bit each time. I'm bummed in the rush to get this finally published we made a few errors. We first found what looked like the source back in September last year. Having the source on GitHu

The binaries for the multi-tasking bits did come from an external source; however, the source code is from our corp source code archives team. Even that was a bit less formal back then...

The percentage structure - while I want to agree with you, we can then look to things like ... the struggle now of delivery food percentages and tipping. If I order a $15 pizza and tip $3, I'm tipping 20%, but that is seen as "che

Thanks for the suggestion. We do have a "MicrosoftArchive" organization that we could consider transferring this sort of thing to... As far as games, and the broader collection of earlier closed source applications: it's incr

Sigh. I have "bought" so many of my favorite movies so many times over the years. (Just piling on at this point, sorry).

Since this article was published, Washington State finally has a right-to-charge law, too, with the passing of HB 1793 - 2021-22, hopefully making things mildly better in Seattle. While the article claims there is no money to be made in EV

Some of us have calculated it... and it is frightening! I have an Excel sheet of all the cars I've ever purchased or leased, and the cost per mile of them, and it is staggering. Thankful to have enjoyed some fun cars, I cannot imagine

Agree, to a point. This was how I justified purchasing a relatively nice stereo setup 13 years ago. Today, I look at the math, on a cost-per-day or cost-per-use angle, and I'm so happy that I went for something nice that I enjoy. I do

Happy to learn more, ping me in some form. The Windows Terminal is building a community on GitHub and it's pretty active.

With the exception of a specific engineers who we checked with, our process includes masking developer aliases, names, etc. It does seem that version control was a lot more basic back then. We're seeing comments on Twitter that it&#x27

I feel like it's close... but it's pretty hard to take engineers off of modern day projects to go figure out what's needed to make an almost 30-year old set of source code to build. I imagine some folks will get this building

So excited! We're seeing Kenji on Saturday in Seattle at a book launch event, so cool seeing him get so much press and excitement around all this.

The long tail of box office receipts, especially internationally, is always interesting, as are licensing deals. Maybe they find a way to protect those with other subsidiaries.

Came here to look for this list ;-) Don't get me started on my new Model Y that doesn't have the game controller-only games... or my Model S that doesn't let me actually play games in the back. Wait, it's a car, I'l

It's almost best to disconnect from the forums and fans after taking delivery. The ordering, waiting, and delivery process really do require us all to connect - if only for mutual support through frustration - There is an aspect of &qu

Copyleft has more process, since we absolutely need our engineers to understand the obligations we have, and for some of us, it may be the first time we're being introduced to open source communities and licensing, so we have to do mor

Agree. The lack of tests has been the biggest regret of mine for this project. It started as a hackathon project a long time ago, and as it grew up, it never got the testing investment it deserved. I imagine the code coverage is about 0.001

Honestly, I'm not sure what happened here. My guess is that they were going through a checklist of what to do when releasing open source changes, and didn't understand what they were doing. A lot of why we've had to put some

Git for Windows comes to mind. Teams can absolutely get approval for any open source license; however, for a GPL project, we'd have their open source legal team work with them to brief them on the license obligations and requirements,

I lead the Microsoft Open Source Programs Office team. I'm sorry this happened. We have merged a pull request that restored the correct LICENSE file and copyright, and are in touch with the upstream author Leśny Rumcajs who emailed us

When I graduated in 2005, I was so happy to be moving somewhere (Seattle) with essentially my entire graduating class. That social network was comforting and fun, and it was great knowing people working at Amazon, at Microsoft, and other fi

A majority of the businesses we visit have "closed bathrooms for COVID-19 safety"... so much savings opportunity!

Right... time to solve this like Apple did with Find My + secure enclave + stopping phone thefts in their tracks.
