Always round up (or down) to the nearest nickel regardless of whether someone pays card, cash, or SNAP. In effect, this would set the gross price as a multiple of 5 cents.

How would the apology need to be worded so that it does not get interpreted as a fake apology? In terms of "downplaying" it seems like they are pretty concrete in sharing the blast radius. If less than 25% of users were affected,

People try to define the manager's job. There are many decent definitions, but one I really like is: The essence of a manager's job is to push context down and pull information up. Here's a short article that explains it well

Both the speed and cost problems can be solved by caching. Each person gets their own cache. The format of the cache is a git repo tied to their sessionid. Each time a request is made it writes the code, html, CSS, and database to git and c

Maybe LLMs will enable a new type of work in spreadsheets. Just like in coding we have PR reviews, with an LLM it should be possible to do a spreadsheet review. Ask the LLM to try to understand the intent and point out places where the spre

Software is still eating the world. It was always about efficiency. It was about getting rid of manual data entry by building CSV based export-import flows. It was about getting rid of hundreds of chatbot operators answering mundane questio

I'm willing to guess that securing that window was in no one's backlog, and this was not an issue of either swelling crowds not of stretched staff. It was a security failure.

My recommendation is to use AWS, but not the US-EAST-1 region. That way you get benefits of AWS without the instability.

That might be the case. However, we should not invent new things where old things suffice. Maybe it is as simple as importing digital content, and all that is different in this case is the medium. It's already illegal to import DVDs th

What does it mean to provide services in a jurisdiction? 4chan offers services at it's web servers which are in the US. People from the UK come over, access the servers in the US, and then import the content they see into the UK. 4chan

With Alibaba it gets complicated. There are things like duty free warehouses where things can be on US soil but legally have not yet been imported. But that does not apply in the UK. 4chan does not have servers or proxies in the UK. If it d

Agreed in a general sense, but there's a bit more nuance. If a knife slices bread like a normal human at p50, it's not a very good knife. If a knife slices bread like a professional chef at p50, it's probably a very decent kn

Most developers are also bad at asking questions. They tend to assume too many things from the start. In my 25 years of software development I could apply the second critique to over half of the developers I knew. That includes myself for a
