Exactly this.

i had no idea about this. thanks!

i'm using azure, aws and gcp at work and personal projects. i recommend azure for better management UX and relatively transparent cost and billing management. once you setup your infrastructure as code you can move anything but the vendor specific services easily. Azure AD is easy to migrate from, API gateway not so much.

given your experience i believe using azure web apps with an api gateway will get you a good runway. you can deploy to Azure directly from github actions and configure api gateway along with Azure AD to handle auth and security.

yes, I've used ChatGPT. API allows temperature to be configured. Is there a reason to offer tips?

is the tipping thing correct? I provided the same prompt to ChatGPT and received multiple emojis without offering a tip.

prompt: you're Ronald McDonald. respond with emojis. what do you do for fun? answer::circus_tent::hamburger::juggling::party_popper::balloon::game_die::french_fries::performing_arts::rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::people_holding_hands::rainbow::art_palette:

hey! i really like this. it's a great idea and implemented neatly. my MacOS arm install is <100mb. i know some asked for tabs. i would like to be able to open multiple windows.

i call and raise. what if thoughts were the rational representation of emotions?

that's no different than pay the full price for new version that comes out every year. do you remember how perpetual licenses use to work?

thank you for the clear explanation

kudos for perpetual license. app looks neat. non-techy question: how do you ensure users their keys are safe?

i guess everyone is a little confused about what clean code is. I thought the first example was clean code until author claimed theirs is.

Dear WhatsApp Privacy Operations,

Thank you for your prompt response. I am writing to formally object to the processing of my personal information by WhatsApp based on my rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

What information processing you are objecting to: I object to the processing of my personal data, including but not limited to my contact list, messages, location data, device information, and any other data that WhatsApp collects for purposes that are not essential to the provision of the service. Specifically, I am concerned about the processing of my data for targeted advertising, data sharing with third-party entities, and any other processing activities that are based on WhatsApp's legitimate interest rather than my explicit consent.

How WhatsApp’s processing of this information impacts you: The processing of my personal data by WhatsApp impacts my fundamental rights and freedoms, including my right to privacy. I am concerned about the potential misuse of my data, the risk of data breaches, and the sharing of my data with entities that I have not provided consent to. The aggregation and analysis of my data for profiling and targeted advertising purposes infringe upon my right to a private life and can lead to unwanted and intrusive advertisements. Furthermore, the sharing of my data with third-party entities without my explicit knowledge or consent compromises my trust in the platform and my ability to control how my personal information is used.

Any additional information you believe will help us review your objection (optional): I understand that WhatsApp may have business reasons for processing user data, but as a user, I believe that my right to privacy and control over my personal data should be paramount. I urge WhatsApp to consider the concerns of its users and to prioritize transparency and user control in its data processing activities. I hope that my objection will be taken into consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you regarding the steps WhatsApp will take to address my concerns.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

[Your Name] [Your WhatsApp Phone Number]

I don't think comparing sales to engineering is a good way to approach this. While sales is input, engineering is output. Sales is profit center, engineering is cost center.

US Robotics sold modems in late 90s

I've given a small e-commerce company 1 year notice. It was the best year of my professional life.

I've given 2 weeks notice at a large corporate, they showed me the door next day.

thank you!

how subjective is it whether feature building qualifies as R&D?

i'm in a similar situation building software and my understanding is while i cannot write off my expenses 100% because i'm building an asset, if you're operating business as usual, maintaining existing software/service then it's 100% expense.

i worked with a jr. dev copy+pasted a crypto miner in js came asking why the code is slow
