clickbait title

it wasn't even a cursor specific extension it was a vscode one. completely misleading

no

To be fair to them - they've been doing it for 10 years without a problem!

Isn't this a failure by the company to recognize free trial abuse sooner? and to not close the loophole immediately seems like even more of a weak behavior. Calling them out but not taking decisive action beyond claiming that they are acting immorally ultimately accomplishes nothing. Businesses are not beholden to your ideas about what is nice and fair, but whatever the rules and constraints are to your system. if you keep a practice like this that allows free trial abuse forever, why would they spend money?

literally in the first few paragraphs of the linked article?

cool shit

extremely misleading headline implies that it just happened.

lol perfect

Very good read! love detailed explanations on the "bad" original code and steps taken toward improving it. a lot of it comes down to personal preference and the author did a good job at respecting what might have been an intentional design decision with their optimizations by making it all configurable

thought this would be a mystery about a coder who disappeared that surfaced via pull request

better question - does the changelog need to be checked in the first place?

really sick writeup, felt like a thriller novel

can't imagine working at a company with so many competent team members.

fun narrative though!

gdpr might help you with data in a web database or data warehouse but if they have anything outside of that you're still screwed. I doubt a failing company has the time, energy, or resources to comprehensively clean up your data everywhere. Definitely submit the request but don't expect it to prevent your info from being resold

somehow? curious what you consider to be real ptsd vs. what you consider the trauma that front line health care workers faced during one of the worst Healthcare crises of our lifetimes.

Realistically how much money are they even saving trying to cut librarians? They couldn't trim the fat somewhere else in the budget? Seems like a waste of time and money to try and "automate" this when they can find the funding elsewhere

cool article! looks like the author's pr got marked for changes that were made and then the reviewer went on hiatus from reviewing more open source software so hopefully this actually gets added by another maintainer on the repo :(

problematic employees need to be fired as soon as possible or they ruin everything they touch

How many of these tools are out there? This is like the 4th CDC to Data warehouse tool I've seen this year and I'm struggling to understand why they all exist in parallel.

I just found estuary with a colleague yesterday which didn't work and previously have seen at least two other tools promising the same CDC to Data Warehouse in-a-box pipelines. What makes this tool different?

Read this submission and thought - this is the kind of thing dan luu would post on Twitter. Then I saw the submitter!

It's honestly incredible how companies will have issues with the most core fundamental way people are attempting to use their product and no one noticed. Being unable to check out is basically throwing money into a fire and I've had it happen all the time - I take my business elsewhere. People just don't give a shit about their job or what they're actually doing

And how do you manage the versioning and deployment of your views and mviews? What tooling do you use to refresh those materialized views on a schedule?

Is it something you've written and maintain yourself? What testing do you have on them?

I find that dbt answers all of these questions pretty simply in a way that avoids the need to reinvent the wheel. It's not some godlike piece of software, just a helpful framework wrapper around plain old SQL

KPInfor time spent browsing channel goes way up when users are forced to look for older content manually! Epic product manager win

What database are you referring to? Is there an international database for all businesses registered in every single country that everyone universally signs up for when they incorporate?

One thing I haven't seen mentioned in the comments is that putting a phone case on the later generations of iPhones messes with the accuracy of the touch sensation of the screen. This inevitably leads to even more typo issues because you hit something "correctly" but the input is recognized incorrectly. Not sure if this impacts Android but definitely changed with iPhones

They opensourced (some) of the logic used for how it works

Interesting that they are effectively pivoting to do what Vettery (I guess now part of Hired) was already doing years ago.

"They are comparable in that both keep working as long as no one tries to cash out, and money keeps coming in."

So...a Ponzi scheme?
