Giving app developers bogus data would make it harder to use* and maintain, so that's a clear win, IMO. * use as in use for the intended business purposes, not harder to write the code

I've definitely run in to those types at meetups. They're there to ruin the event for everyone (although I'm sure they themselves have a good time). Thankfully it's possible to convince a smaller group to ignore them (do

Folks are sad that Hetzner, like most mainstream providers, has a policy against running crypto software and port scanners.

Contemporary identity politics are at least in part a response to the contemporary "occupy" movements, sure, and that's pretty much by definition.

In my case my impact plummeted. Sometimes going in to management means having your hands tied -- you are the ones allowing higher ups to scale their impact. It was awful. I'd love to be able to find folks that can do what I do -- it&#x

You say trend like it is a recent phenomenon and not something that has been happening for centuries if not millennia.

Do you still have to go through interviews with clients? If so, how onerous are those?

If the authors of the article are right, being able to beam power through "inclement weather" could be a huge win on its own.

I wonder if there's some patent issue preventing them from using LiDAR and by extension preventing Musk from admitting its superiority.

You didn't include the laugh track and yet I still heard it.

Yup. I am glad we've moved on, at least on windows, to double-tapping left ctrl to highlight the cursor. It's a pleasant effect. macOS's shake-the-mouse gesture isn't as nice. It's such a "violent" gesture

I agree to disagree a lot, but it may not be obvious. I just stop replying. I suspect I'm not the only one. I guess I could reply and say "agree to disagree" but it sort of feels like an empty gesture. Plus, back in my day, s

I can't downvote yet (and will probably start over when I can[0]) but when I have in the past I reserved downvotes for comments made in bad faith (straw/steelmanning, etc). I will admit I would sometimes feel compelled to downvote

Amazon claims the excuse that their third-party sellers they rely on and contract with to provide goods to attract customers, but I'm not convinced it's valid (as you can probably surmise). Amazon ought to be required to verify

Cockroachdb uses the BSL which means you can't host it as a service for others. It's more of a "source available" license (that eventually converts to Apache, after a few years).

7 day weeks is up there, too. I'm sure we could get used to 5 day weeks.

In my experience (from a few years ago) Mailgun had terrible deliverability to Microsoft and Yahoo. There would be long periods where those providers would return nothing but anti-spam errors, based on Mailgun's own logs.

OSS used to be more collaborative but these days it is corporate to the point you have to sign a damned contract to get a contribution merged. I am not owed better, I am just sad for what we lost.

I haven't experienced anything this bad. I've seen security lapses and have been able to fix them on my own or with a team, and I don't remember ever getting pushback. It's probably time to start interviewing. Ideally be
