    Oli (Oliver? Not sure which you prefer, which I realize now I should have asked a long time ago in our first call) - Just wanted to reiterate that I really appreciate what you have…

    Cannot emphasize this enough. I think one of my best purchases in the past year or two was investing in the MFC-L3780CDW Brother laser printer. Took some research and timing but co…

    It seems the company behind this product has gone out of business and the product itself is no longer sold (their e-commerce site is still up, but the shop is empty)? Which is a bu…

    Wow, seeing this made me surprisingly emotional as I realized that downloading the pre-release leaked source code for some testing levels of HL2 (which included an early version of…

    Good point! I hadn’t looked at how resale value holds up. Maybe I will do that after all… thanks for the suggestion!

    I was quite surprised by this discrepancy as well (my new iPhone has 7, but the new MBP does not). I had just assumed that for sure this would be the year I upgrade my M1 Max MBP t…

    This is really exciting to see for me personally. I've been pushing over the past six months or so for multiple clients, from healthcare companies with basic mobile apps to deep ga…

    It hadn't occurred to me that even a photo with the lens cap on still contains decent entropy, although it now seems somewhat obvious to me in hindsight after thinking about it. I …

    I think yours is a fair opinion as well, to be clear - I actually debated editing him out for a couple of minutes after I first posted, because I do know that his background was tr…

    This is helpful context as well, in addition to doomlaser's explanation of his background re: IBM and Red Hat. Thanks for sharing it. I wonder to what extent Silver Lake drove this…

    I agree! I posted before that comment, which was definitely helpful - that context (and some other helpful replies here and elsewhere in the overall thread) have changed my assessm…

    I agree - this may be unclear phrasing on my part. What I meant in my original comment was, "wow, this seems like a hire that is only focused on finding someone with lots of experi…

    Agreed - the reaffirmation of guidance almost felt to me like a "seriously guys, why are we down 22% up front, you know this doesn't impact short-term revenue..." which... definite…

    Yeah, I think this could definitely be one explanation. Other commenters in the thread have also given good thoughts / potential scenarios in similar veins - essentially that this …

    I have to say, the only thing more surprising to me than seeing the board actually hold Riccitiello responsible for this (with consequences) is seeing that their interim replacemen…

    To paraphrase a certain AI Resume Roaster... "Bro, there is no way you have a PDF parser that can't handle multiple pages..." But in all seriousness, this is a fun idea. Albeit wit…

    I’m not sure if this accounts for the datasets you are referencing, but one reason for layoffs to cluster at the beginning of the month, in the US at least, is health insurance… Ty…

    I really appreciate you taking the time to provide this context! Intuitively I had a rough idea around why this was both a) a blocking issue ("why can't we just YOLO-try some versi…

    As someone who built quite a bit of tech / product on Workers / Pages over the last year and a half or so, this (and some other announcements from this week) really excites me and …

    Have to second this - a fantastic idea unfortunately marred by very poor control responsiveness. Sibling comments are correct, on review, that it seems you can work around it by ho…

    We used Haxe for a while at my last company for a cross-platform engine that would actually run well on web (browsers couldn't yet handle "real" Unity WebGL builds at that time). W…
