someone from github posted a usage graph from the last year on twitter a while ago and they were serving like 14x more requests in a matter of months. it's frankly impressive they'…

I find grep and common cli command spam to be the primary issue. I enjoy Rust Token Killer https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk , and agents know how to get around it when it truncates to…

You would be wrong. The IRA is projected to remove a California-sized block of US emissions by 2030. The IRA is the single strongest climate action tried by any country since the P…

It should also come with a reckoning on their role in the recent history that led to this change and it should be clearly communicated. And the standard to/not publish should be cl…

In an effort to lower the deficit effects of the Trump tax cuts (i.e. increase revenue so they could cut further in other areas), they reclassified software developers salary so th…

I don't know if I'd go that far. It's pretty easy to go from ARM to Bicep. And Bicep is genuinely better at everything ARM does and has a wider breadth of features as a DSL- and th…

Bicep is fantastic. But it compiles to ARM, so it's still limited by ARM's weaknesses and gaps, in addition to the underlying general instability of Azure and the inconsistencies f…

I've always liked the idea of this monetization model. But have you thought about how to disincentivize content stealing? Feels like these models end up needing a very thorough ver…

That's not all of it, either. Older buyers have gotten the lionshare of their wealth from housing appreciation by preventing new housing and pay a lower tax burden than new buyers …

there were no deployments near 11/10, according to that graph - they also say in the blog that scala2 could go for two weeks without restart, so theyre presumably aware of some sor…

Probably not? The crux of the opinion seems to grant fair use because it enabled a "new and transformative use," which is a box that a different line of encyclopedias doesn't seem …

The original fix’s author updated the post about this: https://nee.lv/2021/02/28/How-I-cut-GTA-Online-loading-times... Rockstar awarded them 10k for it.

It's an ISO 8601 vs Gregorian calendar peculiarity, not inaccuracy. See the date section here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 , another example of a week 53.

I believe one of the main security benefits of these requirements are ensuring a binary hasn't been altered maliciously, or otherwise I guess. Not preventing outright malicious app…

I also use Azure DevOps for work and am a recently-former MSFT person. From what I've heard from those still there, most of the new development is going towards Github Actions, whi…

In regards to the first line of your comment, check out https://www.fuget.org . It does exactly that.

I think you're giving the author too much credit. They recently chimed in on Twitter in a similar context- which I'm guessing is where the motivation for this blog post originates.…

All asp.net/core as well

This is basically just a compatibility mode where you switch the IE renderer in the tab within the same Edge application "shell." Seems like a no-brainer.

I started ML work in python coming from a .NET background. To echo one of the other comments here- I believe one main reason is due to the iterative nature of data science. You hav…

You can absolutely train your own models. Your comment is patently false and a fraction of the time it took to write it should have been spent reading that API you have so inaptly …

That is random conjecture from someone who also did that for completely different reasons on something else. Admittedly so too is the OP's post, with the added (although unsubstant…

In addition to the argument others are suggesting, that their market share isn't high enough to qualify, I believe they have also made legal arguments in the past about the sandbox…
