> You probably want to declare beforehand what your minimum number of sales would be in order to qualify as a success

It is hard to define that and sometimes can be noise or mask important information.

For example, some products have long conversion times due to pricing. This is a critical metric to follow, but would be ignored by the metric you defined.
Lazy loading was a mistake in EF. A lot of apps had awful performance due to lazy loading properties in a foreach loop creating N+1 queries to the database. It would be fine in dev with 50-100 rows and a localhost SQL and blow up in prod with 1000s of rows and a separate Azure SQL.

Also if you relied on lazy loading properties after the DbContext had been disposed (after the using() block) you were out of luck.

With old EF we would turn off lazy loading to make sure devs always got an exception if they hadn’t used .Include() to bring the related entities back in their initial query. Querying the database should always be explicit not lurking behind property getters.

Fortunately with EF core MS realized this and it’s off by default. EF with wise use of .Include and no lazy loading is a pretty good ORM!
This test is very helpful. Thanks for sharing!
As an entrepreneur, my observation is that the vast majority of the experiments I run result in an outcome where the null hypothesis cannot be rejected. That is the case for most social science experiments (which is what marketing experiments really are.) But since I don't have to publish anything, I don't p-hack my results.

If you think that scientific rigour will help you avoid the need for good judgement, you're in for a great deal of distress.

LPCAMM is the best thing to happen in the laptop space since Framework. Forget Apple's ridiculously expensive soldered storage and memory; LPCAMM is a step in the right direction.
TSX doesn't need that much setup: a couple of tsconfig.json compiler options [0], a JSX function of the right shape, optionally a Fragment function of the right shape, and optionally a good definitions file. JSX in general is only a little bit more effort to support Babel's config file in addition to tsconfig.json. The shape of the JSX function (and Fragment function) is really simple. The type definitions you need to write can be complicated, which is why most of the big projects just copy and paste liberally from the massive (hand-maintained?) @types/react, but if a minimal definitions file is simpler than @types/react looks and I've proven that you can meta-type from the lib.dom.ts types to something quite useful instead of hand-maintaining types, in just a few lines of Typescript.

Lightweight is a great adjective when comparing with existing "heavyweight" software - most people would understand what it means if you say "Numbers is a lightweight Excel-like spreadsheet"; "Zoom is a lightweight Go-to-meeting".

As a stand-alone adjective it's not as useful.
Yeah, that's not something anyone should be saying to random people online.

Absolutely, especially healthcare. Nearly everything PE touches gets worse. The only ones that benefit are those that work for PE companies (and esp. the partners).
You say it like it's a fact, so I assume you have proof? Durov is very vocal about being in exile so this looks doubtful.
Isn't it an expected issue with popular services, particularly ones with proper e2e encryption?

Things like WhatsApp and iMessage get scam messages too, and the less visibility the operators have for contents of messages the harder it is to proactively filter out spam.

Same here. The longstanding "rule" for my area is "no planting before Mother's Day!"

For the last 8 years or so, ~April 20th has been very safe. I usually pick the first weekend after ~April 15th, which doesn't have an overnight low under 38 on the 10 day forecast. Haven't had an issue yet.

Thankfully some of the stores are starting to break the "rule", because for a long time it was impossible to even get plants before Mother's Day.
It is called CRP and happens all the time.
> I'd make a joke about innovation, but not sure how innovative Square has been the last five years.

Honestly, isn't that a great match for PE?

Once a company has run its innovation sprint, convert it to keep-the-lights-on and cut costs.

In return, PE gets to buy a revenue stream.
I've found Supermaven to be substantially better than Copilot. The latency is near instant and the results are mostly confined to a line or 2 where the success rate is higher. Meanwhile I agree that Copilot was less than useless for me. Actively hurt my workflow and made things harder.
> the ambiguous ‘Contact Us’ is a huge turn off

Same. About three years ago we introduced a company wide policy to not buy anything where the price is not known. So, so much time (money) being wasted on figuring out the actual costs, the offering would have to be really inexpensive to make up for this. And if that were the case, the price would be right there.

Here are the tools I will be using today:

F#, Jupyter, Python, R, MySQL, PostgresQL, ZSH (awk, sed, fill in the rest), VS Code, Excel, Word, git, and probably more.

This weekend I continued to work my way through Learn You a Haskell For Great Good, taking time to go over the functional programming concepts in both Haskell and F#. In addition I read most of Data Science at the Command Line, where I was introduced to ggplot2, so I then worked my through the online ggplot2 book.

I'm not very interested in memorizing the complete syntax, standard library, and common third-party libraries for the myriad of tools that I've listed above. I don't really see the point of learning how to read through the MySQL documentation.

Here's what I want to have in my brain: Most of Townes Van Zandt, Willie Nelson, and the Grateful Dead's catalog of songs so I can play them on acoustic guitar without a songsheet as I like to make eye contact with the audience.

So yeah, thank you for telling me that my approach is slowly withering my abilities.

I'll put this as nice as I can: You are very judgmental.

The app is not limited to the US, hence the absurdity of your comment.

The idea that you are somehow more enlightened in your relationships while the majority of people wallow in misery is absurdly arrogant, bordering on delusional and narcissistic.
AFAICT Signal is collateral damage in this disinformation campaign. The original attack seems to be aimed at the CEO of NPR, coming from an assortment of right wing (and some Russian-aligned) voices. She happens to also be on the board of Signal which, through the prism of conspiracy theory, now extends their crusade. Given that Telegram is commonly understood to be aligned with the Russian government, this maps neatly on the US/left vs Russia/right axis through which such people already understand the world.
Syncthing works really well for this.
It's a matter of habit. I personally don't search for answers on the internet to begin with. I use Zeal/Dash to store docs of the tools I use locally, and directly read reference docs for what I need. If I need information from a very specific page, I always bookmark or take note of the specific page, and return to that automatically. I also always read beyond what I need to see whether I'm missing something or holding something wrong. If that's I use very frequently, I further document what I do, and how it works in my personal knowledge base.

In surface asking ChatGPT is not different using StackOverflow for everything, but I can argue that StackOverflow bears the same dangers, unless the answer given is comprehensive and written with collateral information in mind.

However, having a personal assistant on tap which can answer (or hallucinate) anything or everything will definitely make you lazy.

I am not sure "caring" should be part of your attitude. we do the job we're paid to do at the best of our ability. That's it.

If you can't be "arsed" to give your best that's a different issue and it sometimes is a simple case of burnout. This happens when you give a job too much over a long period of time.

As for your current role, I see issue immediately. Estimates are nothing more than estimates but in your case they seem to be deadlines. It should be a simple case of having a human discussion ... it takes longer because of an issue I have, not seen in the estimation stage. You can't basically foresee everything and that's normal and expected. Software development is not a factory setting but a highly complex, creative and mentally draining activity.

If you are in a software factory then you need to get out, those people don't value you.

Yeah, I hear some people say that they find Ecto.Query confusing, and I think it's because they never learned SQL properly. That's understandable because it's possible to use something like ActiveRecord for years without ever learning to write even a simple SQL query. But if you have a good grasp of SQL then Ecto.Query is trivial to learn - it's basically just SQL in Elixir syntax.

I'm very confused here, I'm neither having an issue with taking organs from animals nor with killing them for food.

I do, technically, have an issue with our modern meat production, which ia a straight up horror show - for the animals and for the people growing them, but that's entirely unrelated to this case here.

As far as my knowledge of the word "donation" goes, it means that someone voluntarily gave something to another, and the person giving is the donor.

I'm not an authority for the English language, so maybe donation can also apply to a scenario in which something is taken with no active consent. In that case the term would also apply to theft though, that makes me kinda doubt that...?

But I guess we can go with that.
Squarespace.

Different company than Square.
Secretly, that's what I think too. The biggest problem is the estigma associated with Euthanasia and the potential mental issues related to guilty it could induce in my kids, should I ever need to consider it before becoming a burden to them.

I had to care for my mother for a long part of my adult life, and while I loved her, I must admit that I frequently resented the feeling of having my youth years being stolen. For a few years I even left my family because I didn't want to make my wife and kids share this burden at the worst phase.

Which big centralized messenger operator can be more trusted to run the SW they say they are running is always a contentious shifting argument. If you host your own or use a small hoster, these arguments about who might have been compromised or compelled are not relevant. Decentralized and federated protocols such as Simplex.chat, XMPP, Nextcloud Talk, Matrix, Session, and Delta Chat eliminate this concern.
Most of the controversy is tongue in cheek fun, from the numerous co-ceo staff. It's hard to keep so many people aligned.

A Dyson sphere at a distance similar to the one from Earth to Sun needs more matter than the one that can be found in a single solar system. Ringworld had the surfaces of several planets flatted out in real scale among all its geography, and it was just a thin strip around the sun. You can go all you want in exponentially build drones, but you'll need matter for the drones too.
You can walk an expression and replace its thunks with the values that those thunks deferred the evaluation of.

Because it's not unlawful to do so, and there's no "aptitude discrimination" in any state's employment law.
The current state of the markets and private equity is deeply troubling. Gone are the days when companies like Microsoft went public at reasonable valuations, allowing everyday investors to participate in their massive growth. Now, companies like Uber and Airbnb debut on the stock market at sky-high valuations, leaving little room for the average investor to profit.

Worse still, the concentration of wealth has enabled large private equity firms to gobble up what were once thriving small businesses across various industries - from veterinary clinics to engineering firms. This trend stifles entrepreneurship and limits opportunities for employees to rise through the ranks and become owners themselves.

America has lost half its public companies since the 1990s. The count of publicly listed companies traded on US exchanges has fallen substantially from its peak in 1996. Back then, the number exceeded 8,000 companies. Today that count has dropped by more than 50% to just 3700 [1].

"Just slightly better", if you can have confidence that it's not a mirage, is a success and should be taken as such. I don't think that's inconsistent with the article, which is more about the danger of allowing a gap between success and failure which, if you land in it, leaves you with no clear direction to go in.

Sure they're quite behind in the model space, but there are plenty of routes for them to catch up quickly in this regard. Licensing, open-source models, etc.

Google's hardware is just not as powerful. The Tensor G3 is far less capable than the A16 let alone the A17 Pro or M4 chip that powers the new iPad. Gemini Nano is a tiny model with limited applications. On the page you've linked, it seems like it's mainly used for text summarization, autocomplete, and various image features. It's not used for the Google assistant, likely due to the complexity of that task relative to the strength of the model.

Apple's hardware could run more powerful models that make assistant a first-class citizen. And as another poster mentioned, Apple does not have the same incentive structure as Google (which always has to keep their ad revenue business in mind). Apple would happily offer an all-in-one, does-everything assistant to their users, if it were good enough to compel sales. Google likely would not, but would rather bake integrations into their other products in order to "augment them with AI" while preserving their revenue model.
Going from their financials, Squarespace makes no money: Revenues of $281.1 million for Q1 with Net Income of $0.1 million so it can be rounded to $0. They have debt of $556.9 million so yes, for the founder being able to pass on this pig with lipstick is great.

So I guess the shareholders mentioned in the subheading of the linked press release own a majority.
A serializer cannot make a reasonable assumption about how an exception should be serialized on the user's behalf, let alone deserialized. Newtonsoft had and still has quite a few problematic defaults where people can inadvertently weaken privacy and security of the implementation, which System.Text.Json is opinionated in solving.

If you are okay with risks that come from including exception's message in data sent over the network (e.g. not publicly exposed), then defining a custom converter is trivial (it's like 10-15 lines and adding it to serializer options), or you could simply .ToString/.Message it and include that in the payload instead. It's a minute thing.

As for exception deserialization, that's a gross feature misuse and not something that should be done.
Do both. They are complimentary tests. The cold start answers questions about the sensors and power systems needed to get the engine going. The idle tests the opposite, how the engine handles thermal issues without the airflow of driving. But the common theme is that if the engine starts and runs, most everything else can be reasonably fixed.
