jazdwon JetBrains reported a net financial loss first time in its tracked history

I've been thinking about doing the same, what did you migrate to? I was thinking GitHub actions but the outage yesterday reinforced that it might be a bad idea.

jazdwon iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27

I got a MacBook a few weeks ago, first Apple computer I have ever owned. I was so surprised when I plugged my 4K monitor into it, there didn't seem to be a way to run it at native resolution and all the text was aliased.

jazdwon How credit card rewards became a $9.2B wealth transfer

Lol because in order to get 2.625% cashback at BoA you need to have $1,000,000 in your BoA accounts, maybe that's why it's hard?

jazdwon Vanishing home field advantage in English football

The Goodison Park (built 1892) away dressing rooms are really Spartan and uncomfortable. They are poorly heated, are right under the stand (noisy), there's only one toilet etc.

I don't think Everton's home record can really get that much worse when they move into their new stadium next season though.

jazdwon The Matrix (1999) Filming Locations – Shot-for-Shot – Sydney, Australia [video]

I used to catch them in my backyard as a kid, never saw one that big though!

jazdwon A three month review of kagi search and the orion web browser (2024)

Google search is almost useless for anything but the most basic queries now. Anything technical and it ignores half of the search terms like you said.

Yes - https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/indigenous-cultural-prot...

jazdwon Extracting valuables from the San José galleon

I wish they would go into more detail on the cargo. I want to see how they arrive at billions of dollars.

jazdwon You can't leak users' data if you don't hold it

We shouldn't make blanket statements

jazdwon You can't leak users' data if you don't hold it

Except you can leak data even if you don't hold it. You are focusing on data at rest. Not storing the data obviously helps massively, but a bug or maliciously inserted code could lead to user data becoming compromised.

jazdwon Lodash just declared issue bankruptcy and closed every issue and open PR

Most users spend trivial time filling issues however. Most bug reports are crap.

jazdwon What I wish someone would have told me about using RabbitMQ (2020)

Is publishing a request to a queue and then polling for a response a typical pattern for a distributed web application?

jazdwon Hacking a VW Golf Power Steering ECU

Great write up! I am the author of the TP2.0 page you linked to. I went through a very similar process to you, ended up disassembling the code for a Siemens PPD ECU (PowerPC architecture from memory, it was about 10 years ago) so I could turn of the DPF regeneration functionality.
