I would say if Excel instead of failing when you divide by 0 would be instead secretly changing it to a value like 0.0001

That's a very good analogy. Queues are not there to solve overload (and they never were), they are there as an *architecture tool* that allows decoupling and *can* (not always) ease the scaling of the queue process (workers). I think t

I don't want my apps that have AI implemented to be able to read my messages because Europe mandates feature parity. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. For Apple it means building all the APIs that probably already exist but

I don't think so. We have tons of apps and ideas and now AI. I honestly don't expect much from an OS on my phone or laptop and I am glad they improve what matter: OS performance and bugs. I don't mind having the "innovat

That might be true to some extent but what about the current product? It's nice to tell yourself that you can upgrade it in the future but the best of what the product is today isn't a great value, will the future upgrade make it

Were these from the same high-profile publishers? What was the judgment? Seems that their domains are still active. Why is there a difference in judgment here?

Railway say the incident is resolved but many are still down (returning 502): on our side, we had to manually trigger a redeploy to fix it but I believe it should have been triggered automatically by Railway and I can't understand how

Comparing Europe to a teenager wanting to move out of their parents' (US) house is incredibly condescending. Especially considering that the US is the actual young country being swinged in instability.

For me point 2 amplifies point 1. You could justify a higher price if the quality is better (and by quality, I mean both the health and type of ingredients used: not the type of product). So not only they go more expensive but the quality s

I think you are right about the high temperature issues. But extremely cold temperatures also have their problems: the metal contained in electronic devices tends to contract and become more brittle.

Hard disagree. The article contradicts itself when you verify it. Tolkien's Fellowship was $7 in 2000 using the given inflation calculator it would be $13 today (not more than $50 as mentioned in the article??? They probably set the da

I wasn't expecting to find my favorite short-story on HN today! That's a pleasant surprise! This is how I started my journey in reading Isaac Asimov, I really recommend it!

Less budget = less tooling + less competant people So actually, yes, it could have affected it. Did it really? We will never know. Also NASA has less experience in this than SpaceX, hopefully it will be better next time!

This only works when the barrier of entry to sue is low enough to be done and when the law is applied impartially without corruption with sanctions meaningful enough , potentially company-ending, to discourage them. At the moment you remove

Exactly, everything is in "technically" because, for example, to the best of my knowledge, JFK airport is located in the US. There are plenty of articles that actually explain that the practice is illegal, but the gov doesn't
