Pornography, or any other "restricted use". They either want privacy or don't want to deal with the filters on commercial products. I'm sure there are other use cases, but much like "what is BitTorrent for?",

Hi there, I was wondering if you'd be willing to share that ChatGPT chat with me (or everyone). I'm the CEO of a competing product (DBOS) and I'm just curious what your question and responses were that let you elsewhere. Th

Have you taken a look at DBOS? [0]. It's like Temporal but no depenency on an extra coordination service. A lot of the concepts are similar. [0] https://github.com/dbos-inc/dbos-transact-py

Some would say this advice applies to finding a spouse as well. Date 37 people and keep track of the best. Then marry the next one that's better. :)

I never said anything about a public good. See my sibling comment.

I never said it was a public good. I said it was a shared resource. The tragedy of the commons is the concept that, if many people enjoy unfettered access to a finite, valuable resource, such as a GPU farm, they will tend to overuse it and

Tragedy of the commons. You are totally right, they didn't violate any policy. But they violated their moral obligation to not abuse a shared resource.

Chaos engineering was created to be the "red team" of operations. Let's figure out all the ways we can break a production system before it happens on its own. And there are a host of teams working on the "red team"

That was in the openconnect team but we had a lot of ex-Yahoo throughout engineering. For example the entire observability team was ex-Yahoo when I got there in 2011.

You could certainly make that argument. You could also make the argument that all the developers on a project seeing the same view of the code enhances collaboration and team cohesion, especially if your team does pair programming. This is

Obviously there is a bit of nuance here, but the best rule of thumb is use a regex and then warn the user that it doesn't look valid but still accept it if it doesn't pass, and then send an email to verify it.

Spaces are better, simply because you don't have to worry if another developer is seeing the code different than you. See, I can do it too. This is why there is an ongoing discussion. Because there is no clear cut answer, just opinio

I have only given this a moment's thought, but why not just publish the URL map as a text file or SQLLite DB? So at least we know where they went? I don't think it would be a privacy issue since the links are all public?
