incredible, impactful, and authentic read!

ya here's the link explaining the metadata store: https://www.snowflake.com/en/blog/how-foundationdb-powers-sn...

here's some insight into the team's thought processes around the development and testing of FoundationDB. A few went on to form Antithesis: https://antithesis.com/company/backstory/

Been following this game! Congrats! Please bring us an MacOS port!

The Onion did a fundraising campaign a few months ago. Glad to see this is where my donation went!

It is and today, it’s relatively straight-forward to implement. Get a good Zero Trust vendor.

Unrealized gains.

outcomes > outputs

It’s proven time and time again by DX programs (S.P.A.C.E. etc) that focus time is really the only KPI that produces outcomes.

Seconded, while so tedious, we're in the process of moving hundreds (400+) domains from Google Domains (now Squarespace) to Cloudflare Registrar. We're seeing similar oddities with redirects for domain protection.

Seriously, rename this and get a .com

Coinbase had/has job posts for private security.

I've found that there isn't a lot of discussion or research around this subject. Shoutout to engprax, a compliance company, for clearly approaching the issue.

Is it actually an issue though? Software engineers by design (?) are not capital "P" professionals. There's no certification or board underwriting our work. Software engineering/developers have had the latitude to "move fast" and represent the only "professional" trade that has the ability to "try again" (with a deployment) versus a structural engineer for example.

Dr Junade Ali CEng FIET, the Principal Investigator of the study, said: “Recent developments demonstrate the fundamental importance of software engineers being free to raise the alarm when they become aware of potential wrongdoing; unfortunately our research has highlighted that software engineers are not sufficiently protected when they need to do so. From software engineers facing mass retaliation for speaking up and banned gagging clauses still being used, to ‘industry-standard’ software development metrics not considering the public’s risk appetite; this investigation has highlighted systematic and profound issues with society-wide impact, given how integral computers are to all our lives.

With the ubiquitous nature of software in modern society are we at the point were we need certification? The development and certification of "industry-standards"? This theme, balancing innovation with responsibility, is throughout the the Biden Administration's Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence (Order).

Who is really responsible though? The developers who wrote the code? Or the executive who ordered the change?

There's are plenty of examples of this in recent history. Where engineers/developers released code they knew was harmful/fraudulent but did so anyway under fear of retaliation.

I wonder where this is going to go.

You can, just have to use JQL. Zapier can create a conditional trigger if the JQL criteria are met and pool on a set cadence, such as 15 mins.

Domain specialization could be the moat, not only in the business domain but the sheer cost of deployment/refinement.

Copilot Money achieve Amazon SKU description automatically by AuthN into your Amazon account and transaction matching.

They do this lack of info lift and then recommend category splits.

If you go seats. Please have an seat management+billing and view only role not count towards seats. Team members need to manage the tool’s access but don’t use the features.

MAUs make sense. Enterprise want a linear spend with volume based discounts and rollover credits.

How would you describe your feature set or competitive advantage against Unleash? https://www.getunleash.io/

Agreed that LaunchDarkly is incredibly over priced.

Definitely looking forward to GCP.

I hope these layoffs don’t impact the GA release of Google Tables. It’s marked for GA release but still under Area120 domain.

Also moved off CircleCI to GitHub Actions for similar reasons.

GitHub Actions definitely offers iOS builds.

I agree, the author is conflating the ability to report and block a user due to their content and the ability to report specific content of that user.

All they had to do is add a link to report the specific contentId that user created.

The author was blinded by frustration and didn’t read.

Not a silly ask. I’ve seen B2B Success Teams be very successful setting up a private channel for clients and using Atlassian Assist.

This feature isn’t marketed by Atlassian. It Jira Service Desk provides the “backend” to the support experience, providing private comments, threads, the ability to merge multiple conversations that pop up in Slack, and link up support requests to active development in Jira.

The only downside is I believe JSM is limited to 5000 external users. Not a huge issue for B2B Success. Considering a external user is only created when a support request via the :ticket: emoji is used.

Spot on. It becomes more clear when you ask who pays medical professionals salaries?

Insurance companies do.

Insurance companies are medical professionals’ bosses.

The customer receiving treatment has no influence on the standard of care.

Launch it through Cloud Marketplaces. I believe rev-share just got much more favorable, especially at Google Cloud.

Thank you, excellent explanation.

Apple Business Manager added (beta) support for Google Workspace a few months ago.

This cause exists not for product testing and QA but rather to prevent payment details for being abused in the name of “testing”.

Everyone runs 1-3 “real transactions” as a “real customer” when getting ready for a launch with QA.

This cause exists for Stripe to point to for excuses people make when attempting to wash transaction or test stolen CC info in a prod environment (which doesn’t work with a test api key)

Not the OP, but xor is a doppelgänger of mine. We met in person decades ago. xor is always poking around the internet finding interesting stuff.

It's an interesting search pattern. I would be interested to see other kind of "topic/domain" searching done across all .gov properties.
