Yeah ask him how much he gets paid for one copy of the book, I assure you it's not much

If he's not getting a cut of this settlement then that's between him and his publisher.

You don't need a stored procedure to use parameters with the query lol

No

They have the time to write SQL queries in their code

They don't have time to (or better, shouldn't) materialize them as a stored function in the DB

"Oh but your CI/CD should automatically..." Let me stop right there

The time they spend with this can be better used to ship and to improve their SW to customers, not with yak shaving

The last thing a startup has time to do is stored functions

And if they "do have", they're not spending enough time with their service-market match

I don't see:

- what's APOSD

- "it's illegal since it's copyrighted" makes no sense to me

- The settlement should be exactly to cover their licenses for training

lol

AWS, DigitalOcean for a start

And many others I've used and never bothered me or ask for ID

And only one gives you a sticker on your passport

(And funnily enough the Visa lasts for a longer time)

Only if you bought between the backup date and today

(And obviously has some doc to prove it)

These are the people that support "Decolourizing digital rights" (whatever that means).

Sounds like they also don't believe in borders or immigration enforcement, etc

I can't take them seriously

Not at an initial sign up and minor spend

Companies usually know how to handle customers

(Yes some do want to verify the customer for every single purchase - but I usually skip those)

Yes but not for initial $5

A visa allows you entry

Nope

It's the same deal as you mention above

Count on German companies to make things more complicated than they need and to squander clients for minor nitpicks

He talks about the issue of tracking memory lifecycles manually in zig so it can be explicitly freed. As expected, this leads to a long list of bugs where people missed things.

Yes, and again the "you're holding it wrong" people or "you are not a good enough developer" people will try to do juggling with a chainsaw and lose a couple of fingers in the process

Claude Code's endorsement (and real-world testing) speaks louder than internet discussions that are at this point 30 years old (and probably more)

We can

I don't think "should" is the best word here, I mean it more like "They will (eventually)"

But what they should/are aware of (and work against) is shenanigans by the HW vendors

Honestly yeah

MS should get all the flack (which is mostly deserved) of this

Manufacturer does whatever crap they want with "it works" and then MS gets the complaints

A driver should only be that. A driver

Yup, this makes sense for e2e.

You can have your billing service billing in the test currency for e2e (and probably with a value that does not match the USD) so you can test "ok this should cost 1 credit so in the end I should have 18 $currency"

AWS supports billing in multiple currencies

Of course. I'm not saying that it doesn't.

Read it again

I'm saying, the conversion to (any) currency needs to be done downstream of the service (to a general billing service). The service needs to bill "credits".

presume AWS sets its prices in USD, and then converts them to the other currencies using the relevant exchange rate

Yes that's what I wrote in the first post

You certainly don't want your service caring about a test currency.

Nobody is pricing their services in test currency

They are either pricing in $ or in "units" and then converting upstream

This is an even bigger foot gun than what's happening here

AI slop. Or just a distracted dev

This sounds good until you run out of steel and out of sellers as well

Cool, now we just need the GPU that supports it

Even Microsoft is just a contraction of their original product, microcomputer software.

Hopefully that was also a family suggestion because I can't think of a more sloppy name than "Microcomputer software"

Your last phrase is bang in on the money.

Also the assurance it won't evaporate one day

I'm honestly thinking it's trapped in a Chinese room without any way out

Actually newest first shouldn't be a problem, you need only to point to "last seen date" (up to ms precision)

An algorithmically "curated" TL, yes that's harder

Yeah

And you can absolutely get Shingles before 50 (in some cases)

Gurobi probably has good heuristics and gives you a good enough answer instead of gnawing at a bone like every other MIP solver

Markets optimize for the current gradient, not for the local maxima

Markets will make you climb a hill ignoring it ends on a cliff end

Or they simply don't care, or don't see it as a problem
