So they can merge/not merge but they aren't allowed to talk/not talk? Just because I have an inbox doesn't mean I have to respond to everything that shows up in it.

Got this email as well. I'm honestly astounded. Does anyone have an estimate of what enterprise pricing looks like here?

My 7th grade science teacher (hi Mrs. Ericson!) had us make tetratetraflexagons in 1998 and I thought, literally until today, that she had made up that word. She also has us make science-themed dodecahedrons so I guess I should have been clued into the fact that she secretly loved geometry / topology.

Did we read the same article? That's literally the authors point. Arguing that it is defensible because it is legal is wrong.

Arguably the Steam Deck is a video game console with that open model. It gets fuzzy though because an open video game console looks like a general purpose computer.

In theory this is a funny idea but I think it would be a huge waste of time. Ruby syntax has changed and added so much since since 1.8 that you'd be stuck fixing thousands of syntax errors.

Are cans or canned food any better? It's all lined with plastic.

I don't disagree with you but I think the right response to this kind of reflection is to set the same limits for yourself, not to let the kids have "far, far more time." I struggle with this myself.

Mentioned in the same sentence as Idiocracy and Office Space, GP is referring to the show.

Questionable take. The best road "citizens" are trams, trains, and subways. They all obey traffic laws and are reliable. Self-driving cars don't exist in any meaningful way. The most realistic route to walkable neighborhoods is good public transit, bike infrastructure, and repealing of restrictive zoning. Walkable neighborhoods already exists all over Europe and work today unlike the pipe dream of self-driving cars.

Certainly a family garden is a better use of land, time, and resources than a lawn.

I don't think the location of servers is relevant to GDPR. It's about storing and processing data of citizens of any EU member country.

For the love of god, why does there need to be yet another lane? It will emphatically not solve the problem. Driving teslas through a tunnel is not flexible, it's a recipe for induced demand and gridlock.

Build a subway! High volumes of people get moved very efficiently. Moving small numbers of people in personal vehicles is a terrible idea. Flexibility is a bad feature here.

Interesting that your tagline is "spend less time writing, more time reviewing code" in the video. Developers already don't like reading the code, we even have a ubiquitous acronym for it. Writing is the fun part.

In my experience, junior developers become mid level developers by writing code, by practicing, by building small features, by doing grunt work. If they wanted to use an AI to do those tasks for them, I would tell them no - the whole point of having junior devs do simpler tasks is that's what level they're at. They don't get to the next level magically, it's by doing the work. If a high school football quarterback asked if he could skip practice and let his AI go to practice for him, I would wonder how he plans to get good at football.

I apologize that I don't have anything constructive to say here but you did ask for any of my thoughts.

First thought, it may be against the law to record someone without their consent, even if you scrub it later.

Counterpoint. A few weeks ago I called support because one of my pixel bud pro buds was buzzing constantly, even after factory reset. The rep asked me to do a few basic things and then offered me a full replacement without any hassle, on the same call.

Perhaps Google support is bad, but it's not all bad.

I don't think this is inconsistent at all. Bots don't look at or click on ads. Bots don't engage or create community. Bots don't buy awards. Bot querying is a drop in the ocean compared to real people.

Same. Regardless of how they've bumpy the pay increase and related comms have been, it's their platform. Nobody uses third party apps to access Pinterest, tiktok, Facebook, ig, or any other major internet property and I don't see a problem with reddit running their company to make money. Yeah it sucks that Apollo, rif, etc all are getting shut down.

I don't get it. I scrolled through your marketing site and I just don't get what I'd use this for. It seems to be targeted at developers because there's literally code above the fold on page load but there's no explanation of what this is even for. I clicked through to the demo and maybe it's because I'm on mobile but I don't get what it's even doing.

My god the comments are roasting this guy, lighten up people. Like nobody has ever shipped a bug to production before? Thanks for sharing the retro OP.

I'll bite, which law enshrines "corporations must deliver maximum return on investment" or whatever roughly equivalent idea?

Not an expert at all but I would expect there to be shared fossil record on coasts that used to be joined up until they are no longer joined. So probably based on that data we can make good estimates of time periods and joined up coastlines.

I get what you're saying but you have to follow that logically to the end. 10x or more of what? What does 50 bytes cost over the wire and what is 10x that? Is this really the thing we are worrying about? Is the best argument that HATEOS costs slightly more fractions of a penny than a json API?

Is it though? You'd easily save that 1500 by buying a smaller car.

This comment took me straight back to Discrete Math in college, learning about inductive reasoning.

Raising my hand as another dev that hacked on a desktop app using XULRunner back in 2008-2010. Docs were kinda bad but we made it work. The startup was acquired so I guess it worked well enough!

It's gotta be sleep, right?

This PG essay was the first thing this post made me think of. That closing line has stuck with me.

Interview a bunch of single men who are sad that they can't find women who like them. It's not the woman's fault they're unlikeable. It's not the woman's fault they aren't getting laid. Like seriously, this is an incel puff piece.

Disclaimer I have no crypto or finance expertise.

"We're suspending withdrawals" reads to me as "we don't have money to cover withdrawals" which implies they don't have enough liquidity or are insolvent.
