Why lower quality?

Django suffers a lot from having packaged into itself the whole templating and forms systems. It solved a pain point years ago, but it's irrelevant now and it carries that legacy due to backwards compatibility.

Furthermore, Django also suffers due to its legacy of being database-agnostic... which was more relevant in a world where mysql was still seen as a serious competitor to postgres; but now, it's more annoying than anything else.

I've been considering setting up "ConfuseAIpedia" in a similar manner using sentence templates and a large set of filler words. Obviously with a warning for humans.

I said "raspberry-flavored things" and I guess in the most inclusive sense raspberries are raspberry-flavored so well done there for making me put one finger in the air in outrage and then silently pull it back down while adopting a thoughtful expression. In a less-inclusive sense, raspberry-flavored things are flavored with "mostly esters of the banana, cherry, and pineapple variety" according to the article so it could be argued that there are a lot of raspberry flavored things (including a dust cloud in space, https://next.voxcreative.com/ad/20726659/space-taste-like-ra...) but funnily enough raspberries aren't one of them.
Thinking only flat areas are ripe for high-density urbanism is still a NIMBY mentality. Where I'm from there were much worse constraints yet the rate of growth by which cities are developed vastly outclasses the YIMBYest cities in the US let alone California.

There should be respect to the families that lost their property. But it's not insulting to suggest that NIMBY development exarcebates disasters like this. Heck if land use was as productive as it should in America most of those families wouldn't have a good chunk of their wealth evaporates as a result of a natural disaster, and rebuilding would've been hella more faster and cheaper.

It's not recommended--the assumed model is that every workflow finishes on the code version it started. This is managed automatically in our hosted version (DBOS Cloud) and there's an API for self-hosting: https://docs.dbos.dev/typescript/tutorials/development/self-...

That said, we know sometimes you have to do surgery on a long-running workflow, and we're looking at adding better tooling for it. It's completely doable because all the state is stored in Postgres tables (https://docs.dbos.dev/explanations/system-tables).

Actually, I did remove it, and it was gone for a long, long time (years). But only recently did I add it back because I discovered through a/b testing that I was losing leads that didn't want to cold email us, so instead of a cold email, they schedule a quick 15m call that takes little to no preparation for on my end. What it's not is a sales call, and it very quickly moves to an email thread. I am very clear that we don't do further calls past the discovery call -- it's all email (or Slack if they want extended support).
This is clearly written for an audience that already knows what's going on. I don't, so I'm curious. Is the difference between:

outer terminus------>ny penn|alight|board new train|----->later station

vs.

outer terminus------>ny penn|stay on train|---->later station

Why does the latter need more tracks? This seems intuitively obvious that it shouldn't, but maybe I don't understand this.

EDIT: Thank you to the commenters (who I can't answer because I'm rate-limited).
? "Professional" was set out right from the onset. The question was about engineers, which, while it is true that coding and engineering is sometimes done by the same person, there is no reason why it has to be that way and, especially historically, coding is a separate job. The context is specifically about the job of coding, not the job of engineering. There is nothing to suggest engineers are being commoditized and never was.

That is precisely the only reason people choose Nintendo over more powerful and capable devices. The Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Zeldas, Marios etc.

They got a robust ecosystem going on and with them shooting down pirating left, right and center they keep a tight ship going.

Nintendo has set themselves up so they don't need 3rd party titles to survive. Carved out a good niche for themselves. They don't even see themselves as direct competitors with Sony. They used to but that was a long time ago.
Thanks, I've done that now.
Does it even need to be that analytical? Conservatism can also also be general skepticism of change. And I don't know if you've ever tried to quit nicotine before but it's very good at convincing you it's a relatively harmless habit that helps cope with all sorts of stress and anxiety. If you're already inclined to be generally skeptical of change, smoking would slot right in there.

That said I'm curious if we're projecting back strong moralistic or party/ideology-aligned takes on smoking before it was really prevalent. I don't think anyone is questioning the role money plays in broadly misleading the public about smoking itself, just that the ideological/partisan divide such as it exists today might not map cleanly to the past.

Let’s say you’re looking to break into the Fun as a Service market. The incumbent offers 100 hours of Fun per year as a free service and charges enterprise prices above that. If you want to start a Fun as a Service competitor, to have any chance of competing for new signups you also have to front 100 hours/year for anyone who wants to try it at a 100% loss, before you can even start making money.

It’s the same principle behind predatory pricing, which is illegal but rarely enforced. The goal is to make it too expensive for new players to enter the market, or to force existing competitors out.

> Mission owners and operators often lack adequate capabilities for software understanding because technology manufacturers build software that greatly outstrips the ability to understand it.

I wonder if this is because software engineers build things that are too complicated for the problem domain, or whether it is because the problem space where the software sits is inherently complex.

This report addresses the unusual modes of operation, specifically mentioning "normal, abnormal, and hostile". So much of software has unpredictable operation in the face of hostile attacks (particularly if the attacker gets "past the firewall", either a network one or a metaphorical software interface boundary).

I use TinyTinyRSS - it has very powerful filters that support regex. So I spend the time to write Regex filters that run over all the news sites, so as to only surface stuff I'm really interested in on the "fresh articles" page. I can still go in and look at every article etc.

You can also apply weights etc, so for the small blogs etc I follow, I give their new articles a high score they so float to the top of the reader.

It works really well and I don't feel like I'm drowning anymore - I have a massive amount of content still get imported, but only the stuff I want to see is what I'm presented with.

This is exciting to see as arm64 is really a growing space, as we've seen since first launching our Docker image build acceleration [0]. Free for public repos is definitely a strong pull if you can live with some of the quirks.

Even with this, building multi-platform Docker images with fast persistent caching in GitHub Actions will still be slow in the worst case and tedious in the best case.

We've also expanded into GitHub Actions runners, bringing our fast caching and faster compute into the actual runner.

We've done some cool things like making caching and disk access faster using ramdisks, Ceph, and blob storage [1]. We're offering Intel, ARM, and macOS runners at half the cost of what GitHub offers to private repos. We're also focused on accelerating even more builds outside of the runner. [2]

I mean I think the OP is referring to sales call for differential pricing. Any mature product would have product team looking at active accounts (even if enterprise sign up was self-service) and scheduling calls to understand needs and drive product improvements. There's never a substitute for that for the reasons you said.

Just this week I encountered this exact thing

On Sunday (first workday here), I needed a PoE injector that could take in 24V DC and step it up to PoE+ voltages (around 50V iirc), so I looked around, and found an industrial one that matched my requirements. On the manufacturere's website, there was only a GET QUOTE button, and when searching for the model number, I couldn't find a place where I could just buy the thing.

So I clicked on GET QUOTE and filled in my details, company, work email, etc.. I then got an automated email saying my request was received along with details of the request (just the one PoE+ Injector).

We needed this for a fairly tight deadline, so we ended up getting an industrial PoE+ switch, which also gave us some added flexibility, and had 2 units on my desk by Tuesday.

Fast forward to today (Thursday), I get a call from a local distributor who had _no idea_ which product I requested a quote for, and just asked about what my needs are. I of course told them it's no longer relevant, and they decided to send me an email with some wildly irrelevant brochures for ruggedized tablets.

All this is to say, if the manufacturer just put up a price or link to buy online, I would have likely ordered 1-3 units on the spot, either directly or via a distributor. But they decided to complicate the process, and lost the sale to someone who was willing to just sell the products instead of trying to get me on a call.

I also had a look at the distributor's website, and they seem to offer various vague "compute platforms" and "industry-specific solutions", I typed in the model number into the search box, and got no results, and when I typed in the manufacturer, it just brought me to a page saying they are a "Platform Partner", with another contact button.

The real "internal model" of git contains much more data/moving parts.

There isn't one tree of commits, there are typically at least two: local and remote

Branches are not just pointers to commits, but also possibly related to pointers in the other tree via tracking.

Stash and index and the actual contents of the working directory are additional data that live outside the tree of commits. When op says "avoid git reset hard" it's because of how all these interact.

Files can be tracked, untracked and ignored not ignored. All four combinations are possible.
Yea, but, like, phones are digital cameras…
I'm also ashamed to say I've also never seen any of his movies and TV series but this still hits hard because of his influence on some my most cherished fictional properties. These are Alan Wake/Control, Silent Hill 1&2, Returnal and Disco Elysium.

Actually, his influence on how surrealist fiction is presented throughout all media cannot be understated. I was surprised to read even the original Zelda has him as an influence. Majora's Mask does feel particularly Lynchian.

It would not surprise me if the Souls games and at least the later Berserks (late 90s/early 2000s forward) were either directly or 1-step indirectly influenced by Lynch.

Actually, "git reset --soft" moves the current branch to another commit, without moving the index (aka staging area) along with it, whereas "git reset" (aka "git reset --mixed") moves the current branch AND the index to another commit. I really couldn't wrap my head around it before I had gone through "Reset demystified" [1] a couple times - it's not a quick read but I can strongly recommend it.
