Distributed databases are rarely needed. I wouldn't call it an ordinary use case. The article isn't claiming Elon Musk can run Twitter off SQlite

Free Digital Media "Platforms" are unprofitable

Look what happened to:

1. Gawker

2. The Awl and The Hairpin

2. PolicyMic

3. Vice subsidiaries like Refinery29

It's funny, all these places tried to reinvent the tech stack too. I remember Medium being a clojure shop

Interesting thing about this place is that's it's illegal to decorate with Human Remains in Italy now, so if a bone falls off the wall, they legally can't put it back!

We just had a Support Ticket with them that took them over a month just to respond to, claiming they had too much volume!

Surely, they're not 'overstaffed'

I agree, but it's a lot easier for a Founder CEO with 22% ownership of the company to do.

It's completely not comparable to a CEO hired with no initial equity stake.

Just for illustration. The 10% stock price jump this message caused just earned him $500+ million

Vaseline Glass[0] is pretty common to find in antique stores if you want your own uraniumware

Companies will have to start opening up their wallets to pay for their "Bard-Rank"

BULLISH for GOOGL

Bard seems like an inappropriate name for this, but I guess they had to rush something out because some execs were fuming about ChatGPT.

It's crazy how a company the size of Alphabet still embraces these reflexive whims.

30% Revenue decline on Mac YoY

What a drop! M1 success and exodus out of butterfly keyboard probably pumped those numbers last year, but I guess we know the trend of growth there is on shaky ground.

Also, i wonder how much of that are companies not needing to buy new hires new laptops

How do you get around not having to list on USAJobs?

My friend in the federal gov found your application details very curious.

When's the Next.js migration?

These tech companies just print shares for comp like its nothing

Why would it matter to Microsoft? Paypal is an 'opt in' choice for people wanting to receive money, so if you didn't want to use paypal you didn't need to:

>Several of you have reached out asking why we don’t support certain platforms (including PayPal and Venmo) natively in FUNDING.yml, the file for configuring a “Sponsor” button on a repo. Great question!

>We decided to leave PayPal, Venmo, and others out of the set of supported platforms because there is a less explicit social contract for where the money is going compared to platforms like Patreon, Open Collective, Tidelift, and Community Bridge, to name a few of the platforms we do support. Those are community, creator, open source, or developer-focused—and they make it clear that you are supporting the work of the person or team developing code in that repository.

>We support custom fields so we can monitor funding methods we might not have known about, and iterate accordingly. Good news is you can put PayPal—or any other link—in the custom field, too.

I can see them 100% getting into podcasting and picking up Joe Rogan when his contract with Spotify ends.

>The investigators determined that in addition to the Justices, 82 employees had access to electronic or hard copies of the draft opinion.

Makes me wonder how many of these are IT employees and what type of system they have in place. Do they borrow a secure system from another agency? Or do they just pass around google docs?

I just find working with Node to be gross.

Look at this:

https://github.com/Shopify/cli/blob/main/package.json

but wait...this too:

https://github.com/Shopify/cli/blob/main/packages/app/packag...

https://github.com/Shopify/cli/blob/main/packages/cli-hydrog...

https://github.com/Shopify/cli/blob/main/packages/cli/packag...

https://github.com/Shopify/cli/blob/main/packages/create-app...

etc, etc, etc

What am i missing? Why do you have to rely on all that junk to run a CLI? It feels like people choose Node because creating a Rube Goldberg machine creates job security.

True for the most part. It is arguable that brick oven or coal oven slices taste different and better. Also, 'premium' slices like Lucali’s might offer superior ingredients (particularly the cheese)

Have you been to Cicis?

Literally all you can eat + pasta. Dirt cheap. If you're the 'one-meal-a-day' type, is there a cheaper option?

Dollar slice is a dollar for a reason. Barely any cheese or sauce.

Maybe they're doing female applicants a favor if they know guys like Marc Andreessen aren't going to give them an honest look when pitching.

funnily enough, some of the stuff is just on gitlab

I guess we now know if Satya Nadella is a prude or not

Most people would never plug it in. This would only be ideal if you could make using gas significantly more cost inefficient (i.e. astronomically higher gas prices), which will always be unpalatable in the US. Hopefully some states eventually have the guts to do it.

The MTA actually went from using a lot of hybrid buses to fully diesel at one point[0], and now they're slow rolling out fully electric by...2040[1]. Just far out enough they can do basically nothing over the next couple years, and still claim they're on track.

Vimeo really screwed up by never diversifying or extending their product well.

Now they're cutting R&D to focus on pushing their barely used, mediocre service. Doesn't seem like they have a bright future.

I disagree that it knows what an interview is (or at least indicates understanding or what it might be based on the output).

It's probably just following a pattern it has discovered via machine learning.

Interesting, but I don't particularly find the components of the article to qualify as 'breaking'

Interviewing community members is post-breaking.

Also, curious the assumptions of what it is allowed to do (i.e. generate fake interviews), when not prompted to do so. It's possible it has no understanding of what an interview actually is, and is just following a general format, without properly vetting individual components.

Public shaming and social media managers are probably more flexible than customer support, if it even exists, (i.e. they can forward a complaint to the right people).

I'm sure there is a solution to better solve these 'problems' that pop up but not something high on the list for most places to pursue.

>I don't think we'll ever see anyone else win 3 World Cups.

Mbappe a contender. Just needs to win 2 out of the next 3

point 3 is some nitpicky claim about Fatal familial insomnia.

I don't find it to be egregious
