Hard to say. Atari has been cannibalized so many times it's hard to recognize what's what anymore. Much of the IP was parted out and sold off.

As far as the company proper goes, the original Atari Inc from 1972 was broken up by Warner into two parts in 1984. The consumer division became Atari Corp, while the coin op division became Atari Games.

Atari Games was partially owned by Warner/Namco for a while, then JTS, Hasbro, was at Midway Games for a while, but now is back at Time Warner / Warner Bros. Games.

Atari Corp ended up at Infrogrames (IESA) in 2001ish. They bough up all public shares and took the company private in 2008. They then renamed IESA to Atari SA to better represent the brand. So IESA doesn't really exist anymore. It's all Atari SA now.

Good news is that since 2020/2021 Atari SA seems pretty focused on restoring the brand. For a long time they didn't release hardware and simply regurgitated/licensed old titles. But recently they've released new hardware/software again. Their focus seems to be around being a "retro gaming" company, old style gameplay on newer hardware. For example, there's this [1] and this [2]

Personally I'm excited that there seems to be an attempt to make Atari a "product company" again. They seem the most focused they've been since Jaguar. Who knows if it will pay off, but at least they're swinging.

There's also the ubiquity of smartphones to consider. I was there this month and everyone was using their iphone to trap in and out.

And I do mean iPhone, not generic smartphone. It seems that in Japan, iPhone is absolutely dominant and may (??) have some sort of additional chip in it (Felica?) that allows it to be used for other shopping. Presumably that is not essential for transit use as my friend with a US iphone was able to tap and pay using Apple Pay.

Perhaps a Japan reader can comment. Android doesnt seem to be supported much, and certainly not for overseas phones, as this link describes.

Looking for advice: logging for servers/services tends to be different than logging for CLI-based applications. How do folks differentiate them or use slog for them in a generic way? Or does it make sense to have separate logging packages for CLI vs services? CLI tends to be more verbose and procedural vs servers/service based logging which is more errors only unless debug.

Employment is a poor proposition. Typically employees make poor money in comparison to what kind of profit they generate, that especially applies to IT.

Anyone with a talent, should rather seek to incorporate and sell their services at fair price.

> In contrast, Tesla redacts all narrative and does not confirm injury severity. In over 700 cases, around 95% of their reports, they choose not to investigate whether an injury or fatality occurred.

Tesla has now "decided" that if active restraints or airbags are not deployed, that incident "does not count going forward".

As an automobile manufacturer, there is no good conscience reasoning that Tesla is unaware that active restraint and airbag systems of today are far more nuanced and weigh multiple criteria when deciding to deploy (as compared to initial/early implementations, which were essentially "if collision=true and speed >= X mph then deploy"). You can have a very significant incident (two that I've witnessed recently as a paramedic involved vehicles into stationary objects at ~30mph) without airbag deployment. But if that was a Tesla in FSD that hit something at 30mph and didn't deploy airbags, well, that's not an accident according to Tesla.

That also doesn't account for "incident was so catastrophic that restraint systems could not deploy", also "not counted" by Tesla. Or just as egregious, "systems failed to deploy for any reason up to and including poor assembly line quality control", also not an accident and also "not counted".

GitHub is too cheaply priced to disrupt. IMHO, Figma is expensive and Dev mode is poor.

Figma isn't a collaborative platform beyond your own project, it isn't a GitHub, it's for propertiary design of your products.

The only thing Penpot has to do is "disrupt" the pricing equation and some businesses will pick it up to save some bucks, heck to even retain independent control.

Wow. This is great. Is there API documentation? I'd love to be able to center the map at a GPS location instead of a city/town name. If I use my city's name, I find that it uses the city center, which is a reasonable default, but my neighborhood is actually quite far from that so it does not appear on the map unless I zoom way out.

I don't have any advice to give, but to this statement above - it's absolutely not embarrassing at all.

You will bring a tremendous amount of knowledge very few people possess and you should lean into that.

One thing though you will need to make any future employer comfortable with is that you're ok taking direction from someone else ... because they might be concerned you won't be able to adapt to having a boss yourself, given that you were the boss for so long.

I wish you all the best.

I was working in Google in years 2013-2016. It was amazing experience at that time. In no other place I have learned so much on how to run large organizations efficiently: before I was working in several companies having tens employees and 3 companies having hundreds of employees.

While Google could not compete with companies with tens of employees it was more efficient than companies having hundreds of them that I worked in.

Nevertheless something bad was already starting to happen: already at that time some employees working at Google for many years liked saying that new Google is like old Microsoft and new Microsoft is like an old Google.

I think that at some point Google stopped having an idea on how to grow their business using new product so they started growing revenue by other means: changing a product pricing model or cutting the cost.

I think that at some point company growth will converge to, more or less, GDP of market at which company is operating. This might be something hard to accept for the company that was growing so fast for so long.

this is not uncommon. this is what I've been dealing with earlier today in Postgres:

json_build_object ( VARIADIC "any" ) → json

jsonb_build_object ( VARIADIC "any" ) → jsonb

Builds a JSON object out of a variadic argument list.
By convention, the argument list consists of alternating keys and values.
Key arguments are coerced to text; value arguments are converted as per to_json or to_jsonb.

json_build_object('foo', 1, 2, row(3,'bar')) → {"foo" : 1, "2" : {"f1":3,"f2":"bar"}}

DNA-GPT: Divergent N-Gram Analysis Training-Free Detection of GPT-Generated Text
If you have a spare bathroom, and have a duct fan, with some 4" ducting, and a couple of MERV filters to prevent dust going up the duct, guess where you can duct the litter box odour too? Look up.

But yes, a fan that can pull some semi-decent airflow, I run the box fans on lowest setting possible, I could probably run 12v 120mm or 200mm computer fans and get the same effect, and pull that air through a charcoal filter and box filter, it cuts out all dust, allergens and honestly, just about all the odour. The cats have to drop an absolute stinker to overcome the filters. If you hit Amazon, you will find a lot of euphemistic phrases on pages for ducted fans, activated filters, and so forth, for "filtering for your tomato plants that you grow indoors." That's the kind of equipment you can research. The odour from smelly, indoor "tomato plants" are not even in the same league for what my cats produce on a daily basis.

Edit: Wait, I'm replying to original author who built the ducted fan version. You already know about the euphemistic language on Amazon as you have no doubt DYOR (done-your-own-research). Apologies.

Edit part-deux: The activated filters I picked up come in a big sheet, and then I cut them down to size to fit the back of the MERV. I simply tape them on with gaffer tape and they hold until I am ready to change them out, a single sheet of filter lasts well over a year before it loses odour control. I experimented with layers of activated filter, but, anecdotally, it didn't seem to make much difference. I think the thick MERV filter slows down the air flow enough that the odour causing particles linger around the activated filter for a longer period of time, so they have more chance to bond.

> But is it still worth 2c if you would have never paid $11k for the seat in the first place?

Nope. I've even second guessed the Hyatt hotel reservations on this basis (I would likely have selected a different hotel).

The whole thing is really dubious. The banks have a major interest in convincing us that their points are worth more than they're actually typically redeemed for. A whole lot of the travel/point blog sites are essentially astroturfed.

If I could get all of my UR points cashed in at 1.5 cents I'd take the deal. Cash is just so much more flexible.

Maybe the best way to tackle this problem is a survey: "what's your cash-in value?"

> There's nothing confidential about which systems were active. The driver knows this, assuming they're not dead. You don't get to claim something is confidential if it's information that's already out there.

Therein lies another problem.

Tesla will happily (and without your specific agreement) release any and all telemetry, or use it against you, if they feel it will protect their reputation.

One of the earlier fatal FSD-related crashes, Tesla held a press conference to defend FSD. They talked about "requiring driver attention" and that, in this case, "the vehicle had issued a warning to the driver about their inattentiveness".

What they didn't say in that press conference, and was only revealed much later, though they obviously knew it at that time, was that while the vehicle had triggered an inattention warning:

1) It happened only one time, and

2) It happened eighteen MINUTES before the collision.
> I've digitised my collection and sold off physicals, in no way would i ever delete the digital copies!!

That what I used to think too until a (not backed up) hard drive with my entire collection died. At first I was devastated, but then I came to accept that it wasn't that bad -- for the most part, all that music is still out there somewhere, so if I really wanted to hear it again, there was probably a way. Meanwhile I was still listening to and collecting new music anyway, so my collection grew again. At some point later I upgraded my computer, and I intentionally didn't bother transferring my digital collection. It was fine. It doesn't need to be forever. At least not for me.
It's nice to have this in the standard library, but it doesn't solve any existing pain points around structured log metadata and contexts. We use zap [0] and store a zap logger on the request context which allows different parts of the request pipeline to log with things like tenantId, traceId, and correlationId automatically appended. But getting a logger off the context is annoying, leads to inconsistent logging practices, and creates a logger dependency throughout most of our Go code.

Hopefully any patent will not be granted. That's not how you make progress. Understandable that competition would have a head start without incurring the substantial R&D costs, but we should rather strive to make R&D tax deductible, rather than maintaining harmful patent system. This way business that incurred substantial R&D expenditure could claw it back from the sold product. This also incentivises businesses actually using their R&D rather than shelving a patent and then going on fishing expeditions to see if someone come up with the idea independently and executed it only to slap them with a lawsuit.

Patents? Nope.
They are great because you can find so many problems at much lower cost earlier. And communication across domain and skill levels.

Maybe their unpopularity among developers stems from trauma of the UML+OOO+Waterfall days and an overcorrection in the opposite direction.

Climate-fueled wildfires lead to rethink on fire tactics
Assuming you are logging from some package that's shared over a CLI app and some webservice app; log/slog expects you to setup the slog logger with a specific handler. This handler controls _how_ events are written out, the format of them etc.

If you want to use slog, I can imagine setting up the logger with a handler specific for the CLI output in the CLI tool, and a json or text structured handler in the webservice app.

The quesiton is, do you actually want structured logging in the CLI app? Yes you probably want to print something out, but is it _structured_ in the sense that slog expects? Or is it just some output.

If it's not really structured, then you probably want some other interface/library that better represents the logging you want to do. Slog will push you towards structured key-value pairs, and you might find yourself fighting against this in the CLI app.
Fair enough, but I don’t see how this supports her thinking the internet was a fad not worth investing in.

The 'bang for the buck' in my world is to address the stressors at the personal level, and hope/intend to contribute to some worthy cause as well.
