I’ve got a test that checks to see if “Logger” has been imported anywhere in my Elixir project, and if it finds one it prints out an explanation of why this project shouldn’t use Logger and what it should do instead. (Which is— emit OpenTelemetry events.)

The phenomenon this describes is the most important effect of LLM coding tools, and this is my favorite description of it.

Oh yeah that’s how you’re supposed to do it. But it’s entirely possible to set up a system that uses RFID key fobs that uh, doesn’t.

In the case where it was most useful to make copies they did eventually replace the system with one where the keys weren’t copy able. Which was better!

Nope! Only occasionally. But it’s handy on those occasions.

Flipper Zero is one of the handiest little pieces of tech I’ve ever owned. Being able to copy RFID keys is occasionally fantastically useful.

This article is at least the sixth restatement of a single Reuters article that has been posted here.

Because no one wants to “turn startups into content.” The point of posting on social media isn’t to post. You need to explain an outcome that someone would actually care about.

Specifically for his private social media that’s a benefit for his paid subscribers. 5 or 6 days of a few hours a day, with Claude.

The category is “Platform as a Service”

Alternative to Fly or Heroku

Here is my source code Run it on the cloud for me I do not care how

In this case it looks like they also bundle together a bunch of the other services you would need to get code onto the platform, monitor it once it’s there and so on

Article and comments are underrating the impact of reputational risk on payment processors and on Kickstarter itself, for hosting/facilitating sexual content.

Some amount of adult comment is CSAM, or otherwise broadly disfavored. Some companies (Pornhub, OnlyFans) are willing to specialize in discriminating between “regular” adult content and the objectionable stuff, and they have payment processors similarly willing to specialize.

Some of that specialization involves being willing to take on political exposure. Mainstream payment processors are unusually exposed to risks like “being dragged in front of Congress” — there are a lot of reasons a politician might want to put pressure on a general financial infrastructure provider. So reducing obvious ways to get embarrassingly dragged in front of Congress is rational.

Like most data entry software there’s nothing that unstructured notes (or paper) can’t handle.

The main useful feature of the apps (or Apple Health’s tracker which is entirely adequate) is that it sends reminders on the estimated period start date, and then a few days afterwards if you haven’t recorded the end date.

Even “regular” periods often aren’t perfectly regular, or can become irregular when they were regular. (Which is often very important health information.)

It also automatically calculates median period length and typical variation/range.

All unnecessary for some people but very useful for others.

A clause like this is pretty standard in software company employment contracts, at least in the California/Silicon Valley zone. There’s sometimes an exception for explicitly named items that pre-date your employment but sometimes they try to claim ownership of stuff you made before joining the company too.

Gelsinger is unlikely to be a good source on this question.

Tim Cook is openly Christian and he has neither written a book about how “Jesus is his CEO” (and should be yours too) nor has he ever (to my knowledge) led his company in singing a hymn.

Yeah there’s a reason no one’s heard of it. It’s basically the installer & updater for Cloud Foundry but there’s a bunch of other incidental stuff that’s had Bosh Releases made for it over the years, including Kubernetes.

It creates VMs. Mostly Ubuntu Linux but there’s a slightly demented way to deploy Windows boxes too.

Hypervisor support is provided by a plugin system called the Cloud Provider Interface. Last I heard vSphere, GCP, Azure and AWS are all reasonably well tested and maintained by their respective companies. Open Stack technically is there but it’s a nightmare and not well commercially supported. I’ve heard of stuff being deployed to Alibaba and Oracle but never seen those systems myself.

In practice this is mostly used to manage VMs into vSphere clusters.
