We are talking about very different things. You are talking about mistakes that happen, sure that happens, write-offs of inventory or what have you obviously happen in every organization. We lose track of things, it happens, it's fuzz

For accounting, if your auditors and accountants don't care, I'm jealous. I've never met one that doesn't care.

My rule of thumb: Always ask about rounding. If they don't have a sane answer, it's basically guaranteed that their system is broken in countless ways. Pretty much the only sane answer: Until you realize that every jurisdiction,

Don't worry, every jurisdiction and bank will do the rounding of pennies differently, so you know, that's always a fun time.

OpenBSD tried to import their CVS tree a while ago, it didn't go well. Now some OpenBSD devs are essentially re-implementing Git as their hopeful long-term solution to getting off CVS at some point.

If you read the words Apple uses when they talk about it, yes. I can't help it that most people don't bother to read them. I'm sure Apple is fine with it though, as it lowers their support costs. Even if you didn't bot

Apple's discussions website(what was linked to) is not how you get Apple's attention. Apple makes it pretty clear they don't do anything with the discussions website other than make it available for users to support each oth

It would have to be significantly cheaper than the credit. That might be very hard to come by. You also have to accept that many people will go out of their way for tax credits, even if they are literally losing money to get it.

You can disable the speaker output in the AVP, I don't know why you think you can't.

Of course it is, but you understood my point when I used that term, which means the goal was achieved. It's 100% not real AR at this point in time. 10 or 20 years from now? shrugs . I'm not going to make that prediction. Can we

I think they have 2 big paths to go down, the current path which is a device mostly for in one spot, mostly solitary use cases. This is certainly the current version of the product. You don't have to take it off for quick conversatio

I'd argue not to sell more AirPods, I mean sure it's a great extra bonus, but what is the other option you would prefer? that they cover the ears completely like big studio headphones? That they give you a pair of AirPods? Or tha

I've always wanted to build a UX tester that uses accessibility tech. We get to test both at the same time, and it might make the accessibility tech saner and easier to use also.

Except some people would literally do that. Probably the ones where $.02 is noticeable amounts of money.

I have no idea how true this is, but it's 100% funny even if not true, so YAY for funny at the very least!

Well that was their last mainframe model. Yes, VMS still exists, but only on x86 now. VAX has been dead and buried for a long time now. They had a whole different compute architecture or two between then and now. VAX -> Alpha -> Ita

You are talking about hosted k8s, which is not what I'm talking about. If you have never worked on a on-prem k8s team, you are totally missing out! :) k8s is brittle, all the other competing tools are also fairly brittle, so it's

There is def. a middle ground we have to find here, but underfunding for decades is definitely not the right place to be either. If you have ever had to call the IRS in the last decade and get anything at all done, you will find it nearly

VMS still exists and is ported to x86! :) I should point out, I was talking about mainframes in general, to include Vaxen, Fujitsu, Unisys, etc. IBM isn't the only mainframe game in town.

Mainframes deliver reliable uptime. They so far are the only ones that can do it reliably, for decades. Essentially the bunch of boxes model(k8s being the new kid on the block) has been trying (and mostly failing) to provide what mainframe

If you don't think you will be living there in 5 years, you probably shouldn't have bought the place, as the up to 10% or more transaction costs will eat you alive.

I know when the data first started being published, there were projects to make sense of it all. I can't imagine they all failed, though I don't have any sources to back that up right now. I remember seeing a few on HN back in th

It just takes management with a spine. I work in the public sector, it absolutely can be done. My guess, it's partially the softwares fault and partially the organization for trying to force a particularly bad workflow on bad software

Thanks for doing this danluu.com. I hope our journalists go back to being useful about sharing facts again and not just marketing like they are doing now.
