yes. every summer the records are broken again because it was warmer than the previous one. That's why the news repeats.

they're a small outfit, been with them for years and on first name terms with the main support guy. great for the kind of nerds who prefer you to skip the flow chart if you and then the logs from your router and hint that you know what you're doing.
not affiliated, just satisfied.
Are there services which offer a less... risky... service that are similarly affected here?
A couple have had a low threshold for "this didn't solve my answer" and directed me to a human, but others are impossible to escape.
On the other hand, I've had more success with a problem actually getting resolved by a chatbot without speaking to someone more recently... But not a lot more. Ususally I think that because I skew technical and treat Support as a last resort, I've tried everything it wants to suggest.
I found that the AI kept cutting me off, and not leaving time in the conversation to respond. It would cut off utternances before the end and then answer the questions it had asked to me as if it had asked them. I think it could have gone on talking indefinitely.
Perhaps its audio was feeding back, but macs are pretty good with that. I'll try it with headphones next time.

Experienced engineering leader looking for a new role. I've managed ICs and managers, have a coaching and people-first attitude but have also built and shipped MVPs which have been picked up by bigger teams.
I've spent the last 5 years at Overleaf, a collaborative online LaTeX editor, and before that for 20 years at Widgit, who make products for people who have trouble reading.
For the last 5 years I've been fully-remote, and have made remote-first leadership my primary focus. For example, here's something I wrote about running remote hackathons: https://www.overleaf.com/blog/our-tips-for-running-a-remote-...

We run a stack with a bunch of microservices, and there is just no graceful way to develop it on the mac. Everything on Linux is an order of magnitude faster.
I still like the mac for some things, but I would only ever use it as a secondary box in its current state.
Overleaf builds modern collaborative authoring tools for scientists — like Google Docs for Science. We have over nine million registered users from around the world.

I have no email address that this counts as anything other than "risky".
If this opts me out of marketing mail then that's probably a good thing, but I hope nobody puts a password-reset or security/billing notifications behind it.
If you have a lot of files or some large files it can slow things down a lot. The git server is something that's due for a revamp, but as it stands the best thing you can do for now is separate out your LaTeX content and other project assets into different repositories. (We usually see these kind of problems when people have a bunch of non-document stuff in their Overleaf project)
Lots of options, good sales, aftersales etc. - Build quality is great.
Aside from the 'missing image' part, what is the fitness example here for training? How does the training process determine what a good image is given there aren't many (any?) examples of a source image -> picasso mapping?
There's not even any mention of training neuralnets, rendering things or doing science. Are there many non-shady reasons for purchasing the above device based on the purpose described?
