The $181M is in the Expenses categories chart, not revenue.

Maybe they care about it being robust in the long run, maintainable, secure and/or not too bloated.

> They had their chance with Mistral and failed spectacularly with just creating anti-AI regulations.

What failed with Mistral?

Which anti-AI regulations are we talking about, and don't these apply to any solution distributed in the European Union, hence also to American ones?

Is it?

Yesterday, gemini told me to run this:

    echo 'export ANDROID_HOME=/opt/my-user/android-sdk' > ~/.bashrc

Which would have effectively overriden my whole bashrc config if I had blindly copy-pasted it.

A few minutes later, asking it to create a .gitignore file for the current project - right after generating a private key, it failed to include the private key file to the .gitignore.

I don't see yet how these tools can be labeled as 'major productivity boosters' if you loose basic security and privacy with them...

I ran the command 'optipng' on the generated image, which recompresses the image optimally, keeping quality and decreasing file size.

Congrats on launching, beautiful design.

I'm not sure of what "production ready" is supposed to mean here, but the demo image is not optimized, `optipng` command decreases its size by 53.21%.

Congrats on launching.

It might be worth considering a feature to time/schedule each flow's animation, rather than having them run in an infinite loop, all at the same time.

UX feedback:

* The animation and the whole interface are sluggish on firefox/linux. There's about 1 sec delay after each action (like clicking on an option). * The site's CSS does not load on an old version of Chrome - v90 - (and the chart and animation don't either).

Nice idea.

Bug: I tried in my area in the Canary Islands and all the places were off, sometimes in the middle of nowhere or even in the sea.

Also, in small villages, we don't necessarily have a town hall, a library, etc (within selected radius), but the game asked to pin these.

Not OP, but in a similar boat. My 2 cents:

Well thought, sophisticated ways of modeling data for analytics purposes -using established approaches - are being replaced by just pulling data from the data sources - with barely any change in the source structure - into cloud data platforms.

In the past we used to model layers in a data-warehousing infrastructure each with a purpose and a data modelling methodology. For instance, an operational data store (ODS) layer, integrating data from all the sources, with a normalized data structure. Then a set of datamarts, each of them containing a subset of the ODS content, in a denormalized format, focused each on a specific functional domain.

We had rules, methods to structure data in order to get performant reporting, and a customer orientation.

Coming from this world, it seems like data governance principles are gone, and it feels like some organisations use the modern data stack same way as each analyst would be doing their own Excel files in their own corner, without any safeguards.

What do they need Google Analytics for? Is it a must-have or a nice to have? In my experience most small website owners have web analytics setup but barely ever check the reports.

Some alternatives:

  * don't have web analytics at all
  * self-host a Plausible Analytics or other open source analytics solution
  * use the data from server-side access logs (for those using nginx, apache or other similar solutions)
  * use Vercel web analytics' free tier (relevant for kanadojo which appears to be hosted there) - more privacy friendly than Google Analytics.

Very subjective reasons from one or two decades ago - possibly outdated now:

  * lack of user-friendly UIs in the end product
  * super frustrating *NullPointerException* showed to confused users in (almost) all java programs they get close to - despite java enthusiasts assuring that good programs should not feature that.
  * annoying frequent update popup shown to end users, with bloated process pushing to install other unrelated stuff
  * creating a super tiny dependency program in java results in a hundreds-megabytes distributable because (??)
  * heavy and bloated IDEs
  * confusing JRE / JDK required installs
  * licensing confusion once Oracle made Oracle Java SE paid
  * supposed to be multi-platform but tricky to make it work well on some versions of linux (painful memories using pentaho or gephi, finding the right file where to set-Xms<memory> -Xmx<memory> flags after a crash)
