Surprisingly enough we have 3 people working on it right now.

Sadly they’ve found that it was extremely easy to save several thousands of dollars a day, and has been so for the past two years.
Why is it better to have the issues sitting closed than sitting open?
You can increase it to $6,070,809.96 by not paying upfront, or an order of magnitude more by just buying it on-demand and not checking your bill for 3 years (not recommended).
That chart is ridiculous comparing lifetime Switch sales against consoles that are only two years old.

Do you have a source for the statement that xbox hardware is sold at a loss?

Finally, the clear and obvious win for MS in the console space is their Xbox Game Pass subscription.
I don't mind wrangling data in the CLI, and I have written a few scripts that do utilise some APIs, like a dynamic dns type script that runs on my home server and updates Netlify's DNS to point a list of subdomains to my home network, but I'm hesitant to build anything too complex for work because when I do leave, it'll all come tumbling down :)

I try to build our processes so that our non-tech HR/management department can keep everything running eventually. Spinning up a Docker image or deploying builds to a CI pipeline is a bit out of their job description and skill set hah.
hndamien, awesome you like it :)

Thank you for the encouragement and feedback!

Yes clicks would be cool. I could add that later if Swurl gets more click data.

Tradeview, you mean the stock price chart? Yes that is a widget we added.

Twitter results is actually done with a Twitter embed. Maybe you have some iframe blocking thing turned on? What browser are you using? It should work.
Latency measurements are tricky, the usual benchmarks kind of suck and aren't predictive of actual performance in real systems under load.

Given that the entire Myrinet team went to work for Google, and the InfiniPath microarchitecture can be discovered by reading the device driver and some open source code, I'm pretty sure Google's team was well aware of what has been done in the recent past.
Ha! In four lines, you described much more simply than whatever the sibling commenter decided to do ;)

Yet again, foiled by forgetting to carry the one!!!! Those are the kinds of "finds" that I'm way too out of practice in searching for patterns to have noticed the answer. Or I'm just too lazy and out of practice and called it quits too quickly. Now, show me a syntax error of missing }, ), ], etc, and I'll find that pattern with/without an IDE!
I think a big part of why this is a focus nowadays is because some "community standards" started crossing into political canards as abuse types, so normies who are not spammers are starting to bump into anti-abuse walls, which don't create real appeal processes because that is too expensive. Now the political class is starting to demand expensive things as a result, and they have the guns.

In the past the rules were obvious easy wins like "no child porn" and "no spam" that nobody really gave a shit about most anti-abuse and welcomed it because they never encountered it for their normie behavior.

These platforms to reduce the 'political' costs of their anti-abuse systems need to drop community standards that start becoming political canards, and say that if we are to enforce political canards one way or another, then it has to become law, creating a much higher barrier for the political class to enact because they have another political camp on the other side of the aisle fighting them tooth and nail, because all political canards have multiple sides.

That might mean dropping painful things like coronavirus misinformation enforcement, violent hate speech against LGBT groups in certain countries and even voting manipulation, because you have to let the political class determine the rule set there, not the company itself. Otherwise it will be determined for you, in a really bad way, even in the USA.

I've long since lost track of the pricing here, but the per-arch stuff is for the decompiler, right?
They could add around $3 per ticket and pay for it.

But removing seat-back would be bold - 100 people using a shared 350 connection would probably not work well. 200-odd using it would kill it. Leaving your passengers with a very unhappy experience.

Most fascinating to me is when someone discovers or imagines that some natural phenomenon that you thought was a discovery, turns out to be a really subtle effect of the noise in the instrument?

This happens a lot in radio astronomy, too - you can get interference from all sorts of electronic devices. Nowadays there are more and more passing satellites, as well. Or even something mundane like a microwave.

Absolutely. I mean, your post is glib to the point of reductiveness, but Musk has habitually lied about Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company, the Hyperloop, Neural Link and just about every venture he's been in.

It's not hard to find a half dozen lies about each of those companies, to say nothing of his social media presence.

I'd happily float an innovator an occasional overreach. But it's dozens and dozens of times now and people still buy it.
Instead of issuing special insecure cards, just deposit the equivalent money into their bank account. Suddenly, they are afforded the same protections as everyone else. Amazing.
>If you are a great person, why do you want to work for somebody you cannot learn anything from?

What's the alternative? The truly great contributors don't want to be managers; they want to do real work. You can't be a manager and also do real work; there's not enough time. I've seen good managers actively quit their role because they wanted to do interesting work, not manage.

>And you know what’s interesting - you know what the best managers are? They are the great individual contributors who never ever wanted to be a manager, but decide they have to be a manager because no one else is able to do as good job as them.”

And then they can't do any interesting work, because their days are full of meetings. They eventually get tired of this and switch roles (or companies if they have to) and return to IC roles.

Someone has to be the manager; you can't have a company with thousands of engineers and a handful of executives managing them. Asking great ICs to do as you suggest isn't scalable or sustainable.
I've done route planning for satellite internet for domestic flights. airplanes tend to take the exact same paths over heavily concentrated areas, and the hubs have a tremendous amount of demand around them. you can verify this by paying for flightaware data and looking at historical data by airline. even without ground traffic consider 3 planes in the same beam need to serve ~500 people.

airlines bank on you not using it or charging a lot to keep the numbers down. JetBlue does it for free by subsidizing through the ticket price since people pay a premium for the name.
I mean, all of this might be true or it might not be true, but either way: if Cory Doctorow is appealing to "security through obscurity" to make his argument, he's making a clownish argument.
Airbnb wants you to pay for the privilege of putting their Internet-connected microphones in houses that you'll be renting to other people. This will end well.
Very interesting responses from both ends. I'd like to add a non-western perspective, and of someone who likes being a parent. You are not the same person you were before kids. Every experience changes you, and who you are. That change is significantly more so with kids. Most of us (or parenting would have been a doomed enterprise) shift from a self-centered identity to one that's stretched out to envelop your kids. It's probably easier in a less individualistic culture. As a lot of people point out, there's a part of us that seeks fun and novelty, but there's only so much out new there and the returns diminish rapidly. Kids are novelty churning machines, both good and bad. You are not reliving the same day. They change (very fast) and you change. And ultimately, parenting helps me realize that we are here for a tiny, tiny flicker of time, we are not privileged in our uniqueness, and identity that's all about us is oversold. I do want to ask much older people if parenting helps them come to term with mortality and meaning towards the end of it all, but that's a tough one to bring up and ask.

Fwiw a good 20% of my (high school) class came by (public) bus because they lived two towns over.

If you only lived one town over, or closer, (eg < 15km) you’d bike.
I've never been able to type well on a smartphone well, ever. I feel like I have to correct 5 of 6 words multiple times each. For me I have noticed no change for years so iOS14->15 I noticed no difference.

Same with selection. It's infuriating, has been since iPhone shipped, still bad 15 years later.

Sometimes I feel like I should attach a camera to my wrist to film me trying to use it and hopefully get some popular site to show just how much poor UX I put up with every day. Unfortunately it would be hard to do, it would show private info, and it would lead nowhere.
Yeah I found Bunny through Cloudflare's forums when someone asked a comparison between Bunny and CF Stream. It literally hits all the marks for me. Seems almost too good, just gotta hope they're around for the long run and their prices don't quadruple in the next few years :)
This is exactly my experience, probably from age 28 until I met my wife at ~34. My friends and I would go to all these bars, clubs, rock climbing trips. While I loved my friends and generally enjoyed doing those things, I felt this long-term malaise of meaningless. The loss of freedom getting married and then greater loss when having kids was unexpected and a jarring change. But it has made me such a better person. And even though it sucks going through the same chores every day or when my 4 and 6 year olds are in maximum procrastination mode. I wouldn't trade my worst day with them for my best day of freedom when I was younger. I've never been more happy.

> a tenant running a homemade 240v cable to the outlet for the electric clothes dryer and manually plugging/unplugging back & forth

Most level 2 chargers have a 20+ foot cord. I did the plug/unplug thing while I waited to install the plug in my garage, but my dryer is just inside of the door to the garage. Perhaps you're talking about a much longer run, but even with a proper extension cord (often less than $100), it should be fine.
If you can get a good deal on one, absolutely.

Ah...

Do you know any good references for describing DI frameworks more? Because right now, my cynical take based on your description is that it's a TON of over-engineering and an absurd amount of complexity being added just to avoid a couple extra lines of code.
ComplexSystems, glad you like it!

I don't think Google shopping has an open API, if it did, would love to add that. Right now we do have Amazon and eBay, and will try to add more.

this is a common thing SpaceX people say, but in reality, it doesn't matter that much. streaming media isn't affected by latency at all, and web browsing/app usage is good enough. what really suffers is real time games or VPN, but that's not as common.
This is for general aviation, not airlines.
"Brunch is not life." This phrase is going to stick with me.
Yeah I'm not even thinking about cory, just talking about this general issue and why it has become an issue in the past 7 years, vs any other time. I really think it's come down to enforcing political things as rules, and suggesting to any lurker who works in anti-abuse in big tech that you need to start putting a price on enforcing political rules, much like you do in many other parts of anti-abuse as you explained, or your going to destroy the company eventually.

I know that would be really hard also in most big tech, because unfortunately there is a specific political opinon culture there, and basically suggesting that you stop enforcing LGBT hate speech is not going go well with the general employee population. Puts them in a rock and hard place, so it would probably have to be done confidentially.
> most denominations will just disappear from evaporation and increasingly lax doctrine long before that.

Curious about this statement. Are you saying that doctrinal purity is required? I would have thought that Anglicanism especially tolerated an incredibly wide set of viewpoints. I still recall a one time Bishop of Durham saying that we had no right to insist on the veracity of the Virgin Birth. Is doctrinal laxity something measurable or simply a complaint the orthodox make when their fellow believers have moved away from them but are simply in the process of coalescing around a new set of principles?

Yes in Denmark it can be even higher than this. So Danes are being compensated (it's actually much less than SV programmers: I'm getting a take home of 81k a year for senior) but are paying more for plumbers.

This is one hundred percent a problem of exploitation and cultural expectations and needs to change.

The book The One Thing by Gary Keller also dives into this idea and is one of the few popular business books which actually left a deep impact on me.
Yeah, that's for the decompiler. And I just saw your edit and agree that they are in a tricky spot. Their product is hyper-specialized and they deserve to get paid for the craft and expertise that they have put into their product, but at the same time they have been a significant barrier to entry for people getting into SRE due to the prohibitive cost. Their new offering of a limited license for $365 a year is a step in the right direction, but they only took that step after competition forced their hand.

Edit: Ironically the NSA is the entity commoditizing their complement here, getting an in-house SRE tool and making it easier to hire students out of college with skills they want.

> I just don't have any time for any of my hobbies any more

Exactly this. I have 2 under six, and outside the odd night were my wife bathes both kids, from 6am to 9pm I’m either working or hanging out with my kids. Maybe 2-3 times a month I’ll get 4 hours to myself to go watch a baseball/hockey game.

At the end of the day though, I look back and I’m grateful. I tell myself “where did my hobbies go” but deep down I know I probably would have spent that time watching a 3 hour super smash brothers documentary or re-reading LOTR or something stupid like that.

Kids have made me more focused. Their unconditional needs force me to weed out the time wasting, unimportant things in my life. I honestly sometimes wonder how it ever felt like I was busy before.

Ok. But 1 year means I have less than a year, then less than a year again, then less than a year again. Can’t even do one month and just do the first of every month. These expiration times make no sense, or they make sense for machines but not humans.
Would definitely have made sense back in the day. Nowadays most cordless drills, even cheap models, have that exact torque limiter mechanism built in so you can dial in the torque you need with a simple twisting collar - use it all the time.

I hate Phillips Head screws, second only to flat head screws. They're "fine I guess" for some low torque applications, but even here they're not great. Was at GF's house the other day trying to screw through 18mm ply with some Phillips screws, which were all she had in the length I needed. Couldn't even get them through one sheet with predrilled pilot holes without them camming out and stripping the heads. Awful. Ended up making a trip to Screwfix to get some posidrivs.

You’re not even going to pretend being honest about this uh?

> An interlock prevents people from being in a place they aren't supposed to be, it does nothing for when something goes wrong in a place you are supposed to be.

What sort of nonsense is that? The point of an interlock is to keep the place where you’re supposed to be safe for as long as you’re there. And stop you from being there if it’s unsafe.

> there's always something else that can go wrong.

Yeah sure a volcano could explode from below your desk. Whatever.
I haven't tried. It's a recall and don't really want to pay for their defect. It will be interesting to see if I can get my tabs next year because california requires recalls to be fixed in a certain amount of time.
Cloud computing made financial control the new engineering. Unless your service is running at an astronomical scale, nobody cares that your refactor saved 50 MB of RAM. The cloud vendors don't care if your workload needs 128 MB RAM, 256 MB RAM, 8 GB RAM. They'll run anything. Just pay for it.

The industry is in a weird spot right now where Finance doesn't understand Engineering well enough to provide proper direction on where Engineering spend is truly wasteful (versus necessarily large), and Engineering quite frankly doesn't care, as long as Finance keeps paying the bills. It's rare to find leadership that appreciates both the underlying financial concern as well as where best inside their tech stack the financial waste lies and how to tackle it and prevent it in the first place.
