Oh thanks for setting me straight on WinCo and REI. I didn’t realize they weren’t labor co-ops. That is what I get for being lazy and not questioning the marketing. Too late for me to edit my post though.

That is an interesting point. Co-ops seem like they should out perform from a worker incentive point of view. But, why are co-ops basically non-existent in Big Tech. WinCo, groceries, and REI, expensive outdoor stuff, in the US are both

My point is that people choose to outsource the complexity of running a rate limiter and blocking bad actors to Cloudflare and others like them is not the issue you make it out to be. Why is it good for me to do it myself but bad to pay Clo

And? Paying Cloudflare or someone else to block bad actors is required these days unless you have the scale and expertise to do it yourself. Why is outsourcing this to Cloudflare bad and doing it yourself ok? Am I allowed to buy a license

Exactly, it drives me insane that people are still thinking this administration is in any way acting in good faith. The argument you quote above is assuming an awful lot of good faith when this administration continually lies and violates

It’s coming in gitea: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/20311 I would be willing to guess that self hosting gitea as a backup mirror is less work than doing the same for Bluesky. But, just speculating

Not OP, but of course they can’t be sure. No one can but if it doesn’t come along we will just be kind of screwed. Better to be optimistic and make moves to position yourself for the “new thing that comes along” then to give in to despair.

I am going to give a guess on this one. I work for a large enterprise and have been involved with evaluating different OSS solutions. One of the things that tends to come up is support. Now a small OSS startup with no funding and maybe ev

If you are what AMD needs to catch up then you can just go work for NVidia for 3x the pay. This market sucks but top tier engineers in the niche they need are not a dime a dozen.

That is still no excuse. The majority of the population of the US claims the standard deduction and has all their income in the form of W2 or 1099 which is reported to the IRS by the employer. Those people can be served by a return free fi

I haven’t had any issues with mine yet but I have lots of Apple devices so I am not the best to answer this question. But, as far as Roku they are subsidized by selling your data and pushing ads as you call out above. Not really a fair com

It has been 8 years since I last wrote any C# code and I still miss LINQ to Objects. It felt so natural building up queries against collections and very readable.

When you get to a certain volume you are required to use Lake Meads instead of Olympic Swimming pools as the unit of measurement. Look I don’t make the rules.

Bold of you to assume Broadcom cares about long term sustainability. From what I have seen they are just a PE firm pretending to be a tech company. They will bleed the customers who can’t move fast enough. Burn it to the ground to get eve

On call even if you aren’t actually called is still a burden. No drinking or other impairing substances. Need to be available and ready to help on weekends. So unable to disconnect and go on a hike or some other activity without internet

Users use Android phones which make use of a Linux kernel. There are far more Android phones then there are windows desktops. Also a phone often has far more sensitive data and is also privy to 2FA codes. https://source.android

This is actually really cool. This may be the first application of blockchain tech that makes a lot of sense to me. Barring someone hacking your wallet you can’t be impersonated on this without it being really obvious. I am thinking somet

That’s a massive dose and you mixed it with alcohol. That is in no way a responsible way to try out psychedelics. You are right that everyone reacts differently which is why you don’t take a very large dose mixed with other drugs. Anecdot

No it is clearly that as the main technical founder of Hashicorp his endorsement means something here. Where as other causes are outside of the area of his expertise.
