Does that mean someone else can grab your organization name that now will be freed up?

Feels like extortion to me, pay $300/year or we'll give your name to someone else who wants it.

For many Mac is the only sensible option. There's one developer in our company that uses Linux and it's a lot of pain to setup.

Mac has the best balance between coding, utility tools and "other work stuff".

Windows probably on par if not more for "work stuff" but falls badly in the coding & tooling department.

Linux is OK ish for coding and utility but falls behind for "other work stuff" and certainly a pain to just keep it updated.

So in our company, everyone in the development & support team uses Mac (except this one guy who insisted in Linux), most in the sales & marketing team use Windows.

It's not just fortnite.

It's tragic if it's true about the drone. It's my worst nightmare whenever I'm flying these days.

I still use Waze. It has better incident reporting than Google. Also it reports where the cops are.

3 days a week seems like a good compromise. I'd rather do 2 days one week and 3 days the following. So 5 days every 2 weeks but must be spread out over the 2 weeks. So not 1 week on / 1 week off.

My commute is epic (2hr - 2.5hr) it's by choice due to a lot of other personal factors. I enjoy the downtime during the commute, but I also enjoy not to have to wake up so early to get to the office daily during the WFH era.

Strangely the 5 hours / day that I get back is not that effective ha! I'm not reading as much books as I used to and actually spend more time lazing around the house.

What a conundrum. In that 5 hours daily commute I used to read lots, self study lots (reading tech books, Udemy courses etc). Now I just lazing around more.

Sometimes I feel like I need that 5 hours commute to force me to do my study.

One for the Pokemon museum.

I believe so, but the integration with IDE works amazingly well. It's non-intrusive and just ... works.

You don't have to do anything, just install and it will start suggesting code as you work on it.

It's very promising.

Absolutely - maybe not in immediate term but certainly it's coming.

I've been experimenting with GitHub Copilot in the past few days, the result is remarkable. Yes it's not quite ChatGPT but it's in the same vein, AI, machine learning etc.

It seems better with "boiler plate" like code, but hey it's a super charged auto complete and I'm impressed with its quality.

It can only get better from here.

Recently I'm seeing a fair bit of people showing iPhone assembled in India. Anecdotal of course, just based on my feed.

Perhaps true for some things, but technology related Google is still irreplaceable.

Haven't found a better search engine for my problem solving. Yes, a lot of answers point to Stack Exchange but it's not the only place where you can solve issues.

There is this concept of "Plugins" that will tell you where you can pull the data from: https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins

And no, there isn't one for Steam.

It's been long superseded by various similar platform. I used to use Yahoo Answers in their heyday but the quality of questions and answers never up to scratch and it's a spiral down to obscurity.

I got the email from Malaysian Airlines March 2nd and the rest trickle down over the past few days.

Interesting to see that they were the first to send the alert, faster than the US Airlines.

Disagree with your assessment for other container orchestrations. Agreed that k8s has changed the game, but ECS has the support of the behemoth that is AWS and it has huge existing applications relying on it.

ECS Fargate makes it easy to deploy containers easily.

Note that I don't work for AWS, but do use AWS, Azure and GCP cloud services, I don't have any vested interest in ECS. I do believe that ECS has a long life in its future.

There's a lot more to building laptop than putting different components together. Portability, mobility, heat dissipation, design to put as many things as safely (and profitably) possible etc.

Building a desktop is relatively easy. Desktop is designed to be stationary and it's a lot more forgiving when connecting parts. There's a lot more room to manoeuvre and for heat dissipation.

I think to achieve the purpose, where end-user will be able easily customise a laptop will require a larger footprint and won't be appealing to many users.
