Can you be sure Google’s ${anything} will be around in 6 months? They have a decades long habit of dumping things that have major use but aren’t novel internally. Worrying about the next 10 years isn’t something you can honestly do when you your argument includes Google owning a thing.

Bias: I fought for things like Reader from the inside. If it doesn’t move needles, it goes away.

I don’t know the appropriate way to celebrate this but I most definitely will. If there’s a hell, he’s going to find out what it means. (I don’t believe there is a hell.)

AI has helped us all lose the plot because now we don’t just know better than everyone else, we can prove it by project managing our better versions of the same things.

What I find really great is that we’re only a prompt or two away from proper docs for these novel solutions but we still don’t make them and if we do, we definitely don’t read them first.

Yes.

EOM

I’m surprised no one has mentioned pdsh yet. Piped to dshbak and output was grouped by response. I’d probably use a config management tool for anything more than simple commands now but that tool was indispensable for managing our fleet, when we used to actually connect to machines.

Welp, I now have a new Bluesky account just for generating satirical misinformation. Thanks for the inspiration!

It’s actually more, right? Because it’s $33b+$12b of debt, which means he’s saying it’s worth $45b.

So can I get mental health leave for it? If so, sign me up!

Shrinking by the minute

An AI-enabled juicer that squeezes single-serve bags of pre-juiced juices

This is why juicero failed! No AI!

Or it could just be a single action pistol, as noted in the article. They’re not common but there are a handful of them that are relatively easy to obtain. Competitive shooters use them and it seems that Seals are sometimes issued single action pistols too.

Politics.

My main reservation for not buying the outcome of a house panel is qualification. These are just elected politicians. How are any of us supposed to trust that they can grok science? The whole thing would have to come at ELI5 level simplicity.

I would recommend different colors. It’s a little difficulty to read the text. Super cool though! He should be very proud.

Where’s the crazy part? Lots of people are vegan or vegetarian. Many cultures the world over don’t consume meat. Is it because she chose to change her diet? Because she chose it for ethical and environmental reasons? Or because you don’t agree?

I for one think turkey tastes like crap. Never understood gluttony as a holiday. On the other hand, I think turkeys are funny as hell and love having them on my farm.

The number of animals we toss in a bin is pretty crazy. You wouldn’t put that many dogs in the trash and think it was okay, would you? Is it just because you assume they don’t taste as good?

You seem under qualified to make this assertion. On what basis do you think you can make this claim?

Are you a billionaire?

So you’re asking if the majority of Californians would gladly see Musk be excluded from these benefits? Seems like the recent election results would be a pretty good indicator of how that would go. And assuming that they would, then you’re okay with it, right?

Also, don’t confuse gerrymandered elections with overwhelming support. Texas turned disenfranchising people into an art form. What the voting lines say and what the people want are rarely aligned. The Texas government knows this. The people know this (ex Texan here). Its cleverly and not secretly crafted to make it nearly impossible for the state to go blue.

Really? I just read the product page and it generally looks useful. It puts the context where the work is being done and reduces the need to go back and forth between GitHub and jira. The only immediate negative I see is that it encourages becoming a ticket factory.

Why did this get killed? Surely the state of education in this country is a valid topic to a community of smart people.

No. Nobody voted for a non government agency, run by Musk and Ramaswamy, to be part of the decision making process for the government.

Yes, it appears you do. RFK is nuts. All you have to do is listen to what he says and read what he writes. He’ll gladly tell you.

Firewalls solve problems like this. Relying on a secret callback mechanism to run your business is high risk, when you have sophisticated customers. A number of industries have low risk tolerance and default deny traffic, which would make those industries inaccessible to a company that tried to operate that way.

Are you comparing Trump to people who fought for freedom, equality and civil rights? Those people were arrested because of an unjust system. Trump was tried for corruption and assault. This is a false comparison.

But should they start with sexual assault on their hands?

I personally wouldn't be where I am without her. Google wasn't my first job but it was the first one that mattered and I was there pretty early (2004). The founding team set Google up for success. The tech was obviously key but you can still ruin good tech by running a bad business. She earned her success, multiple times and I have a deep appreciation for what she did and what she was part of. It's a sad day, for sure.

There is an available option for this: FMLA. It can be difficult to find a doctor to sign off, if you haven't already been in therapy though, which is unfortunate. When you realize you're burned out, it's usually past the point where you need a hand. FMLA doesn't guarantee salary but it does require that medical coverage is maintained and that your job is safe. SDI can help with income, which is why you need a doctor involved.

In my last job, we did both and used the latter as part of our pitch to migrate customers to newer architecture. In order to justify the R&D, you have to show a benefit to your margins or the time spent has less value. Not everyone will share the savings with their customers, which is why doing it is good for sales. Show the customer you care about their spend and not just your own.

What's your proposed third choice?

I'm a Bay Area native. Grew up in San Jose and took my first paid tech job in 1999. I left CA after 30 years and with the exception of Tahoe and a few people, I can't find anything to miss.

Care to share what you consider "deal-breakers" because I've found parity for less money, pretty much everywhere I looked.

WTAF is "codesoy?"
