Got the email too. On the one hand it’s nice I guess they wanted to tell people ASAP. On the other hand it’s disconcerting there is no transition plan or information shared. Seems like waiting a few days for that would have been better.

Apple has a self host cloud division as well as AWS according to news reports. Unclear if they run on Linux but it seems likely they must, even a bit if using AWS. Theoretically they could probably upload custom AMIs with macOS.

Another data point. I have not used phone support, but been a customer since 2013 and have used the live chat quite a bit. It has always been extremely good. Never gone around with a bot. Last chat was maybe 1 month ago.

If they know it’s spreadable without symptoms, unfortunate, as is is, there’s a level of fault. Stupid is not a term I would use, though.

Mingling with other people at a similar comfort level of contract Covid - that’s just adults being adults. That’s freedom.

But if those people then go to unavoidable places like grocery stores, they’re putting people at risk who don’t have much of a choice.

AppleCare and the Apple store Genius Bar are readily accessible, too.

If anyone at AWS is listening, please fix your new pricing tool. I have been using AWS for damn near a decade and miss the old pricing calc terribly. This new tool doesn’t return search results for fargate or proton pricing. I always fumble around and eventually end up on a random blog just to calculate stuff.

I’ve had endless problems with Libre/Open Office and Apple Numbers + tracked changes. Since these are critical for contracts, I end up needing it. The Microsoft tools are total shit compared to gsuite on mac. But it’s the only option for reliable tracked changes.

Whole heartedly agree. A gravity system is highly recommended if people go the water filter route.

Each one of these discussions kicks me enough to move another service or reset a few more email addresses to a personal domain. I’m mostly off google after a couple years.

From what I can tell, their public pricing is as low as $4 monthly ($48 a year) if locked in now. I guess it does not seem very expensive for unlimited integrations for an individual. I have not actually used the service but people have sung its praises. It sucks when something free goes away, but this is as cheap as a Starbucks per month in the US.

I have used Go for a good 5 years when performance and maintainability are the necessary trade offs. It has the unique feature that all the code sorta looks the same style, across users. So the readability remains high during maintenance. I don’t think it is the best at building rest or graphql APIs, or for highly complex data centric systems. For that I would reach for a language with better generic programming support and many libraries available - like TypeScript.

California publishes a lot of fairly clean data which the state uses for decision making.

I help run a SaaS for developers and we receive several pre sales questions and support questions per day. We try to send the support questions to forums or docs pages. People seem to like the chat. I personally hate annoying chat widgets but ours is just on the pricing page and gets good engagement.

I believe having a document “notarized” costs about $10-$20 and accomplished something similar.

I work on a codebase with a lot of this type of code. So far the compiler is up for it. The only time it gets slow is using the Zod language for runtime validation.

I’d settle if it just had proper chmod support. Seems like putting the cart before the horse.

The referenced page seems say you get an additional 13 days of sick time per year, carried over in an unlimited amount. So that would be 26 days per year from the start.

Former head of tech at water data startup In California here. Imo the data on water rights is way too messy and complicated to do this. Also there are things like private canals, utility owned canals, in addition to govt aqueducts. Utilities release water for lots of reasons. It is as much a data quality and secrecy problem as a computer vision or sensor problem.

Things in Australia are a lot more centralized. It seems like Australia would be one of the best places to try.

The good ole boy’s name? Albert Einstein.

Redis has sentinel and scaling features, as well as established patterns. Enterprises are likely willing to pay for experience of doing it right, reliably.

My heart skipped a beat, thinking for a moment the possibilities of LEGO-like furniture. Oh well.

I hope that soon, aging is classified as a disease, and makes it onto that list.

What level of supplementation? I see huge ranges of vitamin D, by mouth or intramuscular, mentioned in this thread. As someone taking vitamin D (1k IU) with K2 I wonder what levels affect calcium.

I wonder if this puts dogs at risk for contracting or spreading the virus.

I had the original Jelly. Had high hopes of getting a small modern phone, with minimal features but no time wasting apps, but returned it.

Battery life was hours. It wasn’t safe to take to work because it’d be dead in an hour of listening to music on the commute.

Phone call quality was so poor my family and coworkers went mutiny. I could hear them fine but the mic was awful, apparently.

The screen was so, so small that it took a long time to type, and was fraught with mistakes. I realized there is such a thing as too small.

Every picture taken was uselessly blurry.

Overall it felt like the early 2000s.

I would greatly be willing to try again. I need to upgrade this iPhone SE. Call me crazy, but having a phone that fits in my pocket, no matter what I’m wearing - that’s the best feature a phone could have.

There's a startup working on this called Propagate Ventures. IIRC they have an agroforestry project planning tool for farmers.

AWS Activate Founders Package offers $1,000 direct from Amazon.

Is this the same Comcast that:

1) created an RFC to inject JavaScript into non-TLS pages 2) created an RFC to intercept failed DNS lookups / connections with their own error page

Both of which I reported to the FCC as MITM attacks. Comcast followed up referenced the bunk RFCs saying "it's fine."

I worked with a man who had done boring and lucrative government contracting, startups, tech companies, and self employment over a 35 year career. His last “job” is a startup. You always have choices. Especially if your skills are up to date.
