I thought it was «windows has all the viruses» since there are a lot of npm packages and it’s used by a lot of people?

A binary format that is only readable by some very specific version of the program writing it. The older xls comes to mind, but there must be thousands of examples.

You can unzip the xlsx and read the xml inside. It’s not the worst format by far.

Lots of sites publish outages, incidents, downtime over RSS/atom. Works great for monitoring, post them into slack with a bot and you can start a discussion thread about that incident where you first hear about it.

They asked developers to help them improve windows battery life on laptops, competing against chromebooks and macbooks.

The AI gigawatts are all in data centers.

They never cared for the environment (in this way, at least).

Browsers let me copy-paste curl commands from developer tools. These don’t work with windows «curl».

I know a few flags of curl too. These also don’t generally work with «curl».

I honestly don’t think the models are as important as people tend to believe. More important is how the models are given tools - find, grep, git, test runners, …

Claude code is great at figuring out legacy code! I dont get the «for new systems only» idea, myself.

You might need to backtrack a lot more, due to the intermediate compression step?

If you can’t deliver to the DLQ, then what? Then you’re missing messages either way. Who cares if it’s down this way or the other?

I cannot recall Obama doing one single thing for peace internationally? Which conflict did he help stop?
