Very interesting. Wish there was a more in-depth piece on this.

I worked on a year long project to rebuild our payments system only to learn the company had been undergoing talks and was acquired by a different payment system competitor. Even though the pending acquisition was going on for the last 6 months of the project nobody told us to stop working on this thing that the top level people knew would never be used.

“In 1990, the estimated value of the stolen collection amounted to $200,000, but thirty years later, it exceeded half a billion”

Feels implausible. Maybe a typo.

Always scary when you learn you can be DOS’d by a single user that learned to use bash and a for loop.

“You need a link not list-unsubscribe” is not fully accurate according to my reading. They are asking senders to support the one click unsubscribe rfc, which uses list-unsubscribe.

There is an app called grog knots which I think is made by the same people. Best few bucks I’ve ever spent for an app. Love having a bunch of knot diagrams handy when I’m out trying to do something.

So a four stroke leaf blower would be ok?

Yeah I am assuming that they are talking about the pollutants that are normally burned up in a catalytic converter. Still confusingly worded.

The 100 requests per minute fee oauth tier is how you would want to handle this right? The requests should be authenticated as if it was the current logged in user anyways.

Curious if the https certs for these sites have some common characteristics that could indicate what sites are related as well.

Officially you can’t be fired for striking right? Guessing there’s a lot of ways a company can get around that though.

Modern equivalent of selling shovels during a gold rush

Kind of weird that you are calling out drywall here, what other building material makes sense for interior walls? And when you say no insulation do you mean in the interior for sound proofing? Exterior walls certainly have and require adequate insulation to be to code.

I tried baking cookies based on a chatGPT recipe… everything looked right glancing at the response so I dove in and started making them. About 2/3rds the way through it became obvious the steps were correct-looking gibberish.

This entire thing ends up being a Tesla marketing scheme

It’s not like you can just crack it open and the expensive metal falls out though. It’s an industrial process.

Can you provide a link with this info? I’m only a casual follower of this stuff but it seems hard for me to believe

Is there any IP created because you generated a particular program / interface? Perhaps not the code itself but the end product? In the early stages of my career we were advised to never test out a competitors product for fears that we would inadventently copy something of theirs that was protected, but at my current company we compare our product to our competitors regularly. No risk there?

We have this problem too. When we send a request to create an entity in an external system, before we get the response back with the entity Id, we already have received a webhook saying said entity was created. Makes a basically trivial workflow quite confusing.

Anecdote... in colorado the snowpack level for 2021 is average-ish. And we just got a boatload of rain, its the wettest spring in a while.

Modern editions of the Kon-Tiki expedition have a preface that says the assertions in the book have been shown to not be accurate, or something along those lines. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science-dna-shows-how-tho...

I thought it was about not catching trees on the bar end? The new wide bars can deflect and recover a lot easier.

Maybe not for indexes but what about using a sql syntax that is more common and extensible?

Interesting! Reminds me of this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzalo_Guerrero

Arborist/tree cutter-downer person. All the fun of climbing and crevasse rescue skills combined with being able to use a chainsaw attached you your belt. The videos in YouTube look fascinating.

Generally I want to agree with you, but there is also research going the other way...

Accessibility. Should be hard or impossible to build an inaccessible website. Tooling needs to be vastly improved.

The view source of this is amazingly clean and refreshing to read. Great learning example, thanks!

The issue comments say as of 2 days ago they are no longer considering removing CTTR. Whew.
