"industry malfeasance" is 1984-esque lanuage.

IED airbags, HIV injections, babies without limbs, etc. are industry malfesance.

So the phrase implies:

No acts of corporate greed including profiting by killing people could ever excuse murder.

Assuming you are a coder lets see how that works for you..

Someone comes to you saying they need a website. You say "absolutely ... clearly you need one!". So you build it.

The decision to pay you however comes from some 3rd party who says "denied". Now the customer keeps their site and you don't get paid.

Will you stay in this coding business?

The real solution is a public health system. Which has issues (apply queuing theory, because you will have to wait for the limited resources you are niw denied) overall it is better though since it can in theory be optimized as a whole.

1. Do this ^^^ keep reminding us!

I think a 3 monthly submission to HN saying "Ask HN: who is looking to meet up" where the comments are used to meet but it is a bit of an ad for your site."

Get a nod from the mod before proceeding though!

Bambino might be OK stock?? Not sure. Only change the OPV if you have a problem to solve. For me it was slightly too fine gets zero extraction and the pressure compacts the puck. Then go a bit coarser and it spews out.

Depends what you are waiting for.

Maybe an in memory cache hit---that you explicitly code---causes a sync resolve to happen, woohoo!

But if it goes to IO and you are waiting for the event loop to schedule you back in you could be in for a shock even if the IO op is tiny. Especially doing it alot.

Only matters probably on a high CPU usage server which hopefully you avoid by scaling up on cpu and using all the cores.

On the other hand... you are being cooperative :)

But tight loop IO is an antipattern ... as is doing a lot---millions---of IO ops from node (per request or job) that you need to worry about this (use a different language for your DB server!).

When he trashed the aldi espresso machine I think he was unfair. The main issues with it are probably the same issues you get on a Breville until you tune the OPV and get a seperate grinder. That said I dont think he is the screwdriver to espresso machine type.

AirBnB is profit driven. So buy Ikea stuff or similar, paint the walls white, make it feel middle class for the $ but at the same time easy and cheap to maintain.

Oh yeah blendergpt is a bad name unless blender refers to a food processing gadget and AI is controlling that.

:) now I will ha ha. There is value in UI just as there is value in a corner store reselling milk. Not everyone needs to be a cow.

I understand what you are saying.

They should still offboard of course!

They should design their service (as in customer service experience) to decouple cancellation from offboarding.

I cancel. I stop paying. Now do your offboarding process.

If that loses them too much money then ask for that upfront as effectively a retainer.

Now you go in to the relstionship eyes open. You pay 3 months upfront then you pay monthly. When you want to stop you click "unsubscribe" with a few are you sures.

Then you stop paying and they offboard you when they get their shit together. After cancellation and prior to that offboard meeting you are getting some bonus free subscription time.

If the offboarding dude is on paternity leave then treat it as extra free subscription as it is on the company not the customer.

Fighting to unsubscribe and chasing companies up sucks.

I use copilot at work. Why? Corporate IT/compliance. Getting cursor vetted ain't a hill I want to fight for.
