    Was always wanting to do something like this before they swapped ours out for a SaaS+hardware butterfly mx thing. Those Doorkings have had to get replaced at so many buildings in S…

    Love it - was walking with a friend near Martin Place they pointed out the "Reflection" sculpture that was in the movie during the red dress training exercise.

    Any leak with your mobile and name pair could have done that. As a non-AT&T customer, I get the my-speecific-name pig butchering texts, too.

    I think it's a mix. We're learning a bit each time. I'm bummed in the rush to get this finally published we made a few errors. We first found what looked like the source back in Se…

    The binaries for the multi-tasking bits did come from an external source; however, the source code is from our corp source code archives team. Even that was a bit less formal back …

    The percentage structure - while I want to agree with you, we can then look to things like ... the struggle now of delivery food percentages and tipping. If I order a $15 pizza and…

    Thanks for the suggestion. We do have a "MicrosoftArchive" organization that we could consider transferring this sort of thing to... As far as games, and the broader collection of …

    Sigh. I have "bought" so many of my favorite movies so many times over the years. (Just piling on at this point, sorry).

    Since this article was published, Washington State finally has a right-to-charge law, too, with the passing of HB 1793 - 2021-22, hopefully making things mildly better in Seattle. …

    Some of us have calculated it... and it is frightening! I have an Excel sheet of all the cars I've ever purchased or leased, and the cost per mile of them, and it is staggering. Th…

    Agree, to a point. This was how I justified purchasing a relatively nice stereo setup 13 years ago. Today, I look at the math, on a cost-per-day or cost-per-use angle, and I'm so h…

    Happy to learn more, ping me in some form. The Windows Terminal is building a community on GitHub and it's pretty active.

    With the exception of a specific engineers who we checked with, our process includes masking developer aliases, names, etc. It does seem that version control was a lot more basic b…

    Comment #31256896

    I feel like it's close... but it's pretty hard to take engineers off of modern day projects to go figure out what's needed to make an almost 30-year old set of source code to build…

    So excited! We're seeing Kenji on Saturday in Seattle at a book launch event, so cool seeing him get so much press and excitement around all this.

    The long tail of box office receipts, especially internationally, is always interesting, as are licensing deals. Maybe they find a way to protect those with other subsidiaries.

    Came here to look for this list ;-) Don't get me started on my new Model Y that doesn't have the game controller-only games... or my Model S that doesn't let me actually play games…

    It's almost best to disconnect from the forums and fans after taking delivery. The ordering, waiting, and delivery process really do require us all to connect - if only for mutual …

    Agree. The lack of tests has been the biggest regret of mine for this project. It started as a hackathon project a long time ago, and as it grew up, it never got the testing invest…
