Based on this outage: not very well.

I’m really not convinced these serve a genuine purpose at all. Beyond them always being in your way, they seem to be incredibly inefficient. This is something that would work bette…

Anthropic and OpenAI won't be around in 1-2 decades if this is their long term plan. People are not going to revert, but go elsewhere. China is proving that it can be done cheaper.…

"Nothing is subsidized" is a wild take. They might be making money on some users, perhaps even most users, but certainly not all. Also, "subsidized" doesn't just mean on compute.

I guess enjoy it while it lasts? OpenAI won't be able to subsidize that forever either.

How do you defend these slimey companies? They’re actively running a mob casino and you still have people acting like government is the bad guys here. That doesn’t mean there can’t…

They already made the argument themselves: they’re skirting current laws by calling them financial derivatives.

The results usually seem completely random to me. It's like the feature never made it out of proof of concept territory. The only advantage of all the email noise Jira sends out is…

The search function in Jira has always been unusable. It’s perhaps the worst part of the entire platform, but nice to see they’re still focused on adding features I will never use.…

That’s maybe the reason today to not build more but not the reason it is bad. America ignored rail for decades in favor of highway systems and now the cost is almost always conside…

I also live in Chicago and wouldn’t mind walking extra to another stop, but Chicago also has a massive traffic problem, particularly post pandemic. During rush hour, the bus is sto…

> There's a very tiny use-case for web components. That's weird, we've been using them at my company for a number of years and there's plenty of other examples of them being adopte…

Web components are a trend? I've been using them for close to 10 years and they're still not anywhere close to mainstream. Loudly as possible? They've quietly just kind of been the…

Wow, this is a weird a comment. Who are "they"? You sound like you think there's some giant conspiracy against JS frameworks. Is the Illuminati behind this? I kid, but a browser fe…

Whatever the propaganda machine wants to be an issue will be an issue. If it wasn’t this it would something else that has no impact on their lives. The NFL is trying to expand thei…

The problem is your comment is missing really important information. You said you returned in 2017, but only mentioned that it was good in 2005. This leaves a 12 year period where …

> It's also the case that The Washington Post brought itself down. I grew up reading WaPo and when I moved back to DC as an adult c. 2017 I got a subscription. This doesn't really …

You didn't say "rank-and-file gun rights supporters", you said "right-wingers". These are all MAGA, which today, whether you like it or not, is the majority of "right-wingers". MAG…

That's MAGA, which is the overwhelming majority of the right in the United States.

It's not hard to find examples. "You cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple." - Kash Patel “I don't know of an…

It takes time to build a community. Twitter was not what it was over night, it took time. Before that, it was just "a certain type of person." Mostly pointless crap. You're looking…

This and the many other opinions on Bluesky are just lazy. There is nothing stopping you from curating the moderation to your wants or even creating your own moderation entirely. T…

> I haven't seen a convincing argument about why it would have been better if he remained in power. You're way off base here. No one is arguing that he should be in power. It's the…

> Dictators will go to sleep just slightly more terrified tomorrow night. And Putin? Mark another instance of ignoring the US Constitution down. Sounds a bit like America has their…
