In my experience, generally Salesforce takes a little while before they notice that they bought you and start imposing uniformity and forcibly regressing you to their mean. This was a(n internally-)famously hard and lengthy process for them

Yeah, I get this a lot, especially from non-southern in-laws who think it's a hoot that they've "cracked the code" and can "speak southern". Being repeatedpy stereotyped to your face gets old pretty quick. For

It's almost all by the kWh here, but perusing PlugShare I've seen a few level 2 chargers here and there that charge by the minute. Usually that's a sign of a charger that was set up a while ago and is owned by someone who has

Interesting, perhaps the message was too narrowly, directly-focused and was missing necessary social context? This feels like a koan about the subjectivity of which details are important to include.

>Also, that would imply a never-ending wack-a-mole game for me since people obviously keep doing this. I think I have better things to do in my life. Uh-huh, and what makes that any different if someone else is doing it? This feels like

I worked at Pardot around the time Salesforce started using this same language in internal announcements about Pardot. Our Pardot leadership translated for us and provided the necessary context: Pardot is being killed. The plan was to start

The text of the second amendment, as written, would seem to indicate that the premise of the second amendment is to arm "a well-regulated militia" (which was relevant to the government that adopted the second amendment, as it had

When you've got kids, there's no such thing as "rounding errors" in terms of time costs. It's an entire chore I never have to do. That time savings is significant when I'm already underwater all the time.

I've had quite a few folks in my semi-rural north Georgia deep-red county (where our congressional rep wins landslide elections while literally saying Trump is like Jesus) who are convinced by my F150 Lightning. It's not a hard se

I looked into PHEVs on my last vehicle shopping go-round, since few pure EVs met my cargo size requirements (stroller/baby life is a whole thing). Ultimately, it was way more worth it to go all the way up to an F150 Lightning than to g

Oof. That's pretty gross: just throw away all typesafety? A `Result<T, E>` return type is way better. This feels like it'll be viewed like Java's `Date` class: a mistake to be avoided.

The Bible is too well-known a text that is too represented in training datasets for this _not_ to be skewed towards poorly reproducing existing translations. Beyond that, >there are hallucinations and issues seems like a deal-killer for

I had a history professor who would often use a similar preamble phrase. His was "And SO IT IS that we see that..." It worked to get our attention partly because of the time it took to say all that, and partly because it was so id

As an American, a sizable number of Americans are lining up to join ICE under the promise of money. And also, our whole military recruitment strategy here outside of drafts has been "the GI bill" – paid tuition in exchange for lin

Because dealerships are the automakers' real customers, at least right now. You don't buy a vehicle from Ford; your local Ford dealership buys a large number of vehicles from Ford, and then you buy one of those. Yes, an argument

I've never entirely understood "don't speak ill of the dead"; it seems like a vastly-scoped rule with far too many exceptions (and that can prevent learning any lessons from the life of the deceased). Forgive the Godwin&

And that's great, as long as you're totally cool with access to _any_ of your accounts _anywhere_ being completely controlled by either Apple or Google.

Yeah, this and syncthing for keeping our shared password vault file in sync together were 2 of the 3 major reasons my wife's last phone upgrade was a swap from iOS to Android (went with a Pixel 8, which was new at the time). Since then

A little pedantic, but: this will tell you if a poem is shaped like the common English conception of a haiku, but it won't tell you if this is a haiku, because a haiku is more than just counting syllables. Aside from the fact tha

Worth noting that F# started out life as an implementation of OCaml for the .NET runtime [1], so most likely the pipe syntax was taken from there, although the pipeline-of-functions construction is much older than that [2] [1] https:/
