Since there is no atmosphere even a bit further.

If you ignore half the statement.

Also before Slack the competition was less Lync or such, but Mail, jabber and non-sanctioned chat (Whatsapp etc.)

Slack certainly didn't win by having a good UI.

It has a good enterprise sales approach and integration features with enterprise systems.

You can get a bunch of small-value contracts requiring a notable amount of work to deal with complaints and outstanding payments.

The alternative are fewer but a lot more high value contracts.

Yes, but code can be presented in different ways. This depends of course to a degree on the submitter (large changeset touching a lot of files or smaller change sets building upon each other?) but also could be presented differently (highlighting changes to data structures, identifying core parts of code and helper routines - lots of room for imagination)

Also mind: one doesn't only have to review changes code, but also review what hasn't been changed (are preconditions of other code still met?)

People are ecoring for them and others (include you, whoever reads this) don't compete with them and challenge them.

An article like "I don't have much of a problem and the folding aspect is cute" doesn't engage in any way and currently there are mostly experimental apps and not yet the absolute killer app.

Well, if they drive away interesting questions or interesting answers that matters, too.

The problem is that measuring the unknown is tough.

> So users wanted it how it was.

A group of active users wanted it that way. Some other group of users didn't necessarily understand the power mechanisms, others would would have liked to be active users were driven away.

It's however tough to know what a quiet diverse majority would have liked.

Compiler output is somewhat deterministic and there is a logical path (even if caused by a compiler bug) and not dealing with it will definitely(!) lead to a broken product. Also at least I rarely read the full output, but I have an intuition, as the structure is consistent, what to look for in the output.

LLM output may or may not be relevant, may or may not tell me something new and by the way it is structure is often hard to quickly oarse for the relevant piece in a wall of text.

For code it also has tools to verify correctness. From specifications to compilers and tests.

With humans language, sometimes "wrong" is in fact "right."

I recently played a little bit with quite naive and simple prompts like "convert this DOS game to run using SDL without dosbox" and in quite a few cases it made a good plan for porting using a custom tailored x86 16bit real mode emulator and then hooking IO on modern foundation and then having it port to some modern language (a few experiments in C++, some Rust) For some games I didn't get to a working state, but for many, especially around transition to VGA, where EGA/CGA had been supported too, they seem to have somewhat isolated and simple graphics for this to work with an okayish amount of tokens.

> Or perhaps we should dial back on how many firefighters we keep employed at all times.

When there is a fire you still need enough at location in time.

The fact that there are enough in short distance with good equipment is one of the things which causes the low number of big fires: once the mandatory detector goes of for a little fire they are on site before it becomes big.

They became big, cause they had their customers first. They were tough to negotiate good prices and put customer experience quite forward. Any complaint and they replaced stuff, not many questions asked.

They then invested heavily in logistics, so now they could replace their support to annoying bots and use their market position to increase their margin.

When there is "legitimate purpose" there isn't reason to as soon items are put in the shopping cart this has to be tracked (be it session in url, cookie, local storage, ...) and no consent is needed.

The exact definition of "legitimate purpose" is unspecific (which is important to be able to adapt to development of new services) which leads to some lawyers being careful.

I also claim that some lobby groups promote having too many and too big consent banners to move blame from tracking companies to the EU ("stupid EU forcing all those banners!") in order to reverse the policy on tracking, which seems to have some effect.

I assume that's only their own data centers, not where they rent space in other data centers.

The reason is that probably the coffee machine vendor doesn't know what is going on. They probably got that module from.some third party, like "hey, you want to cheapen your smart coffee machine? - take out network stack!" and then they don't have to hire developers doing all the work to implement a network configuration system and all that stuff, but have a simple API for the App telling you coffee is ready

The scanning is malicious.

The frequency etc. leading to 1TB is probably ignorance, but that doesn't matter as it is consequence of malicious scanning either way.

Yeah, bombs are found regularly. A special case was about 15 years ago when there was a bomb in Munich they couldn't diffuse and which in consequence has been exploded purposly right in the city: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dJwE2wLJKKc

That was a quite impressive experience. Windows in the surrounding area broke and straw, which they used to damlen the shockwave, caught fire and was thrown around.

So it's probably missing features which should make a good 1.0 mailer.

I am not big in F1, but my understanding is that the primary goal is to have the driver be more relevant over the car/firmware producers.

There are/were approaches around in kernels like includeos, which promised to do as little as possible before hading control to you. So not everybody has to create their own driver's etc, but you get a bootable executable for your application.

Includeos in particular then went towards being a complete "application server" and apparently failed to gain a business as Docker became successful.

Still it shows the strategy of testing the reaction, which we can see in other regions, too.

Aside from the question "will Art. 5 be triggered" there is the question "what happens if it is triggered?"

The article only states that an attack on one is an attack on all. Further reactions aren't spelled out. It can go from "yeah, we recognize it, have a nice day" to "let's send nukes" That ambiguity has some value as the idea was that it discourages any offensives as reactions were unpredictable.

But Russia is testing the limits. They did it in Ukraine, where there were some "green men" strolling arouns in eastern Ukraine, which then lead to occupation of Crimea which all didn't lead to much of a reaction, so they escalated further till full scale invasion.

In parallel we see those things in NATO/EU territories. One could start at murdering Georgians in Berlin's Tiergarten park, planes accidentally entering Polish air space, drones near airports or military facilities ... always testing the reaction. Mostly actions which don't warrant forceful reactions, while testing how quickly the escalation spiral is turning.

Managers and others won't touch the repo. (Sometimes it's better the don't...)

In "I'm Danish" it's an adjective. With "I'm a Danish" it's a noun, stating you are a pastry.

> (although the German state is already well and truly in those woods) ..

There is an issue. I see the bigger issue in Big Tech. What Google (or Apple or palantir or ...) knows about me, even if I manage to fully block them on my side. They get about half the email I send (Germany has strong alternatives like gmx but many people use it etc.), they know who got me in their address book, when we talk, they see pictures of me when others sync their photos to Google photos, including Geo data, ... Compared to such collections the state is weak. And they are completely outside of our jurisdiction. For a German government I at least got a vote. Even if just one of 60 million (eligible voters on Germany on federal level)

> but I also believe that in a free and open society,

It however must also be free for the one who doesn't want to be on pictures. One's freedom is the other's unfreedom.
