Slow your roll, not everything is a startup, some things are just for fun

How's this going with the rest of the models?

Increasing shareholder value

Incredible that the builds were ever 10min. How far things have regressed.

Was hoping this wasn't ai related, disappointed

They should just increase the taxes on rental income to make it less profitable. It's too easy to be a bum landlord.

Higher rent means more people will opt to buy. That's not necessarily a bad thing in perspective. Assuming the other side effect is a decrease in costs due to a lower profit margin.

Why's this so highly rated. Y'all don't know that fast is good?

It's somewhat telling that the most valuable part of an company is the people, some things don't change

Love that this company is still around. I've seen some of their rolls in the wild but assumed they were long gone!

I went to maybe slightly above average high school for my area and didn't have one. But there were programs where the school partnered with community colleges and students maintaining decent grades could attend classes elsewhere. And those had shop as well as other vocational programs.

They probably sent us home with a pamphlet with information at the beginning of the year, but I don't remember.

AWS based on https://cloud.laravel.com/docs/pricing#compute

I usually wait 6mo to a year in order for composer dependencies I use to get updated. Then its usually a trivial upgrade. I've upgraded sooner before for simpler projects though and things are usually pretty stable upon release.

Modern in software terms almost always just means recently written. Last couple years. It's a pretty useless adjective to describe software.

E.g. sqlite probably wouldn't be called modern, but everyone loves it so who cares.

Examples of poor polling data for $200

This cuts a little deep "Who can, and sometimes does, un-rot the fish from the bottom? An insane employee."

This is nothing new or exclusive to Roblox, I recall this sort of language in every online gaming platform.

Airplane mode being broken on two flights was the final straw for me. YouTube music's offline is also sorta wonky but at least it mostly works

Siri now powered by OpenAI powered by Microsoft Azure

for a long time it hasn't been a software problem. It's been a reputation problem, the only recent change is we're more interested in the domain then the IP now.

I've been using mkcert for ages now for local development. Free, open source, and works offline.

Why use any service for this?

Quality is hard because people stop talking to customers and become out of touch with them. Everyone thinks the next big thing will be what customers want, but customers will tell you what they want unfortunately nobody is listening.

Microsoft failed to disrupt the smartphone market because they tried doing it at a period of all time low Microsoft sentiment, especially in the developer community. If they tried it again today, it might actually work.

Apple putting a toe in the water is roughly equivalent to Microsoft's HoloLens effort. I wouldn't compare it to Xbox or even the Windows Phone. Ironically Apple might fail here because they're developer relations isn't exactly great right now and they might lose this the same way Microsoft lost mobile.

I've run into something similar to this a few years ago where chrome randomly introduced a rendering bug that resulted in a similar crash and only affected our application in seemingly random fashion. I don't remember the full context but I think it was something involving layers & transparency.

We finally figured it out when a coworker couldn't replicate and we noticed they were a version of chrome behind. We were able to track down the specific commits in chrome that broke & fixed it in our case which was pretty cool to see at the time.

If you have any more time I recommend reading through the commit log and see if you can find the changes that broke/fixed this for you. I'd bet on another rendering bug.

It was an acquisition, came with Xamarin

They'll still work fine. MadCatz is licensed. There are tons of licensed accessory vendors for Xbox.

So many things require HTTPS now I always use HTTPS during development with local certs via mkcert

Definitely the best choice.

Follow your interests. If you're passionate and interested in technology the success will follow.

Wait for consumer reviews?
