sounds similar to our setup. my advice is be thoughtful how you are creating new micro services, be thoughtful with servicebus (as the SLA on the cheap tier is not great), and be thoughtful with azure functions! Can get out of hand - both in cost and productivity issues - quickly.

We have a guy on our team who loves the shiny new thing, but lots of times you can get it working in a much easier, more understandable way.

For azure functions, a separate repo may make sense. I would probably do that, but I also suggest not putting much logic at all in the azure functions. For example, this:

- When the function is executed, drop a document here

- ... write this db record

- ... execute some job somewhere ...

- ... call an API ...

Is a good use of azure functions. Keep it "functional!"

Bad uses are "systems" implemented in Azure functions. As soon as you feel like you need to use or even MIGHT need to use code in your main codebase, please, don't use azure functions! :)
> Is there objective data that US debit cards have more fraud impact for their users?

Depends how tightly someones runs their bank account. A fraudulent charge could come at a bad time and trigger your mortgage payment to fail because of insufficient funds. Though, most bank accounts offer overdraft protection, which is really just an available loan that is automatically taken.

For me, very few charges come directly out of my bank account. Everything else goes through a CC so I can review prior to paying each month.

> nobody asked me directly, so i wasn't aware

this is not meant to be judgmental (of you or your circle of friends), but if nobody asked you directly, would that not send a signal to you that maybe they are not that interested in hanging out?
I personally don't have many friends, but among the few that i have, it is unlikely that they would fail to notify me in person if there was an event that we would mutually enjoy (and vice versa). Are you talking here about more distant acquaintances/coworkers than friends?

Everyone likes to complain about the DSL that Vue or Angular use, but by the time you learn all the exceptions and oddities of JSX you could have easily learned how to use Vue's templating system.

And the fact that it's common for someone to have no idea whether a feature is part of the JSX syntax, or the framework they're using, or the HTML spec itself is problematic. It's very clear where the v- directives come from.
Ken Liu, who translated the first and third books, is a respected English sci fi writer in his own right, as well as being a native Chinese speaker.

I felt the same as you about the prose but, given Liu’s background and having read his other books, I assumed it was an intentional choice. Based on his other work, Ken is a good enough writer to know what he was doing, and the sentence structure was probably a balance between translating the ideas and translating the form. You can definitely argue with how it worked out but I do think it was mostly intentional and not a lack of writing or translating skills on the part of Ken Liu.

I will say, the middle book, “The Dark Forest,” was translated by someone else, and it felt way different to me. Sentence structure, pacing, themes, stuff that would be way out of scope of a direct translation. I always wondered how much of that was the original and how much was the translator doing more adaptation to make the whole book feel like a native English novel.

I think Dvorak is the only alternate the makes sense to use because it's supported most places. You can easily get a new device and set it for Dvorak.

That said I will not purport that Dvorak is better in any technical way that the other alts.

It’s funny to me that there is such a strong emotional response to progress in AI (e.g., ChatGPT). It really seems like it stems from a strong biological desire to maintain the feeling that “humans are special” even if no one will state that outright. Banning generated art or text comes across as a last ditch hurdle on the way to the inevitable. I think it’s better just to embrace this head-on and address any problems early before they become a bigger problem in the future (bias, factual correctness, etc.) This stuff really has the potential to improve society; let’s not unnecessarily cripple it out of some misplaced sense of human uniqueness.
Fully agree with article author. US has it's fair share of problems, but if it avoids a second Trump term I think it will have a bright future in the next few dozen years.

China was a potential threat to the US global technological, industrial and military superiority, but since the 10 year change of leadership was abandoned I don't think they are a real threat anymore. Their dictator will concentrate on keeping his power and not on developing the country.
So that might suggest that it's actually better to just track the latest version, rather than worrying about backports?

"You may be unwilling to pay a fee, many other people are. Plenty of people roll over their CC balances each month and pay even higher APRs."

I get the sense you're not thinking in the margin. This isn't a question of whether "some people" will pay the fee, it's about the fact that as soon as the fee is greater than zero, "some people" won't, and the rate of that will go up as the fee goes up. This isn't a binary thing where suddenly the rate goes from 0% to 100%.

1% or 2% doesn't mean much to me and my household budget, but for these businesses such percentage differences are generally the difference between profit or loss.
I like the idea but AFAIK nobody will invest in making enterprise class open hardware. The only case I can think of there this started to happen was two guys making an open router in their college dorm and that quickly evolved into what is now Juniper. I would love to see some open hardware that could run an open source OS and have some open ASIC's driven by some OSS and have expansion slots for all the different network mediums/types. Maybe someone here knows of such a thing being developed?

The challenge I see is the proprietary hardware otherwise most of the big enterprise hardware players are just running Linux or BSD under the hood with highly proprietary drivers and libraries. Some of the people at Cisco use old routers as Linux boxes but they lose much of the routing offloading capabilities.

ChatGPT's knowledge doesn't run that deep. If ChatGPT can write a credible essay about a given subject it means your subject was rather generic to begin with.

I was playing a bit with ChatGPT and I wondered how much actual knowledge could be stored in that model. So I asked ChatGPT whether it knew the song by Franz Schubert called "Am Feierabend" and if so, if it could tell me the subject/meaning of the song. "Certainly I know this song", responded ChatGPT and then gave me -- with total confidence -- a completely wrong answer about the meaning of the song. In fact I was a bit baffled by the authority with which is spouted this nonsense answer. A truly intelligent system would be aware about the limits its knowledge, right?

So I think that with a minimum of creativity teachers can come up with questions that can easily stump ChatGPT.
The herpesviruses like EBV and CMV have been with the human race for at least as long as we've been humans and pretty much infect everyone, which begs the question of how much we've adapted to them.

An example is GDP:

- GDP gains might reflect an overall loss to society, as the previously untracked work (homemaking) was more valuable than the GDP-tracked work that replaced it… and families are doing substantially worse just to survive

- GDP per capita might not reflect that 99% of society is doing worse as we experience de-industrialization and destruction of our communities because paper gains like ownership stakes in foreign companies and hyper inflated real estate “mask” the losses experienced by most people

I think I see it, it seems to me that my finger naturally wants to hit in between "E" and "R", but it hits exactly on top of "I".

So ortho fixes this, but could it then introduce problems for other pairs? It seems hard to believe that there is a layout which is 100% better for all combinations.

Regarding symmetry, our hands are already asymmetrical due to handiness (left-handed, right-handed), and the brain naturally adapts, and there is also the risk of Hawthorne effect if you A/B test ortho/staggered. Some real studies on layouts would really be useful.
Important to note though: tropes arent good or bad, just recurring patterns in storytelling.

It certainly is a different way of warching movies and such.

> the people who are most pessimistic about the country are not the working class but highly educated and affluent people—the people, that is, who spend more time engaging with news media.

I was surprised by this claim. I was always under the impression that poorer people spent more time consuming news media, and that the wealthier a person was, the less news they consumed. I don't know where I got such an impression, and I think I may have confused the statistics for television watching in general. Does anyone have a good source showing a correlation in either direction?
> When I pick up a book and see dex/str/con/wis/int/cha my eyes glass over. I want D&D to fade, I want publishers to create new, entirely novel, systems, and I don't care what it means the status quo

The conclusion I've drawn from this is that the system doesn't really matter. The game rules are incredibly secondary to the concept of role-playing - the universe, the people, the motivations, the personalities etc.

We've got a system, it works and everyone knows how to use it. We've met the bar for a foundation we can build our universes on (until now, and this controversy).

That said, I don't think I've spent enough time playing other systems to really be sure of my feelings on this - the above is based on the situation we've got to. I've got Call of Cthulu on the shelves next to me and plan to run a game, partly because I want to answer that question: "does the different stat and mechanics system really bleed through and affect how you experience the world"?

Magic missile by itself is questionable since that language never gets used outside of D&D references, but it is also suitably generic. If you also used Strength, Intelligence, Constitution, Charisma and Wisdom as stats, and had hit dice, and so on, that would be problematic. If you chose new names for everything but the rules were otherwise identical that would be completely safe.

Part of the problem is this is a gray area even in the law, just look at the kerfuffle around the Warhol prince print that is still ongoing.

> I'm not entirely sure what other information would be helpful to provide, but I was wondering if anyone has run into this into the past, and how it was mitigated. While we'll always have some piracy, we'd like to keep it to a minimum.

I don't have answers but I have a few unusual ideas.

I would suggest (perhaps as a "fun" way of dealing with it) looking into The Legend of Spyro style copy-protection. This is where, rather than just depending on the small activation component, there are small checks throughout your code that cause little inexplicable annoyances constantly if a pirated copy is found. Maybe people try to print things and 1/3 of the page is blank. Maybe they try to save files and there's a 1-in-100 chance of total corruption. Checks like these, when widely distributed through the code, obfuscated, and having different things they look for, can sometimes be a major PITA to fully detect and remove. If a pirate feels that getting an initial cracked copy is easy, but getting all the bugs out is miserable...

Another possibility is the "great service, training and introducing features." Pirated copies shouldn't provide access to your training material or any customer support if possible (make it a bit of an enigma to use sometimes). If the pirate has a question but can't read the documentation or watch videos about what to do because he doesn't pay for an account... it is a little annoying for legitimate customers but causes further frustration.
