Or they're not thoroughly testing changes before pushing them out. As I've seen some others say, CloudFlare at this point should be considered critical infrastructure. Maybe not like power but dang close.

My power goes out every Wednesday around noon and normally if the weather is bad. In a major US metro.

I hope cloudflare is far more resilient than local power.

That timezone thing really threw one of my client's management for a loop. During covid they expanded some of their India and Philippians office presence and depending on what you're working on, you need to have regular communication with some of those folks. When they did full RTO they were trying to "make" some of the staff (engineering and management) come in at 5am so they could meet with the offshore staff before they went home but everyone bucked, as you'd expect. When folks were WFH they just went with it. Eventually executive staff just said "you guys figure it out". So they ended up changing the meetings from twice a week to once a month and now projects keep slipping deadlines, including one that went from approx on time to 2mo behind, and it's costing them serious revenue since they cant sell it yet.

You really love to see it. Its a wild waste but someone is going to eat crow eventually. You know I would like to see one of these trend followers literally eat a crow, wings and feathers all of it.

Until recently, you never had to think about it. But as it becomes more common it will become something you might want to consider.

And until then they will milk as much money as possible. If there is outrage or they see sales dropping, a few thousand dollars per hotel will replace those rooms with doors leaving with net profit and steady shareholder growth. Some statistical analysis ppt made by some mid level MBA must have proposed this and got a promotion.

This is why it falls on us to not simply put up with what little they expect us to settle for. Ask about their privacy and bathroom doors when booking and if caught by surprise by a lack of an actual door or inadequate privacy demand a new room, or go elsewhere taking a refund if necessary.

I have to admit that I'm getting very tired of the unsustainable push for endless growth driving companies everywhere to jack up prices as high as people will tolerate and then also delivering the least and worst product/service they can possibly get away with on top of it. It means that everything is getting shittier unless you're willing to spend insane amounts of money to get what used to be standard and more affordable.

It's becoming exhausting maintaining a list of businesses I no longer want to give money to and products/services I won't pay for. This is especially true as companies change names, redesign products, and buy up one another. the list just grows and grows all the time.

Not necessarily. Just like natural evolution doesn't requite its participants to understand themselves, neither does the market require anyone at a business to understand why they are successful.

Yes! I was just recently traveling for work in a decent hotel but not a suite, just one with two queen beds but by myself. It had a glass barn door and the top half was frosted glass with "painted" glass on the bottom. Irritating but at least it was just me.

The "Twitter Files" absolutely did not expose anything like that, despite what Lord Genius Elon tried to imply. At best it exposed internal discussion and policies that may have suppressed posts related to Covid, but showed that the Biden administration was largely (largely doesn't mean never) uninvolved with that. It seems like the most they asked was in regards to the "Hunter Biden Laptop" issue and that was largely with posts that were showing the nudes of the women that he was sleeping with, not even posts that were just nude Hunter.

Elon then turned on Matt Taibbi and banned him from Twitter when he wouldn't go along with his lying and spin.

I've never tried cursor so maybe I'm being a crusty curmudgeon, but I don't get it... Why do I need to pay a subscription for an IDE when I could just use VS Code for free, which also has AI integration now. I'm not against using LLMs to assist me, but I've had no problems coding myself and then just asking an LLM when I'm either learning a new library, need to hack up a quick snippet for a language I don't use often, or just really stuck.

It's too bad they didn't call it something else besides uv given there's already other "uv" named tools like: uvicorn, uvloop, pyuv - and those three almost hvae more in common with each other than the uv build/project tool. Then there's also libuv.

Sorry, I guess I'm not fully understanding what this is exactly. Would you describe this as a low-code/no-code agent generator? So if you can define requirements via a pipelex "config" file, Pipelex will generate a python-based agent?

Hi RoyTyrell, I guess you could call it low-code, a new kind of no-code where we have natural language in the mix. But no, Pipelex does not generate a python-based agent: the pipelex script is interpreted at runtime.

Why is it shocking they are bad at poker?

That was my first thought. Seems as though they don't have a rudimentary knowledge of how LLMs work.

Assuming it's credit card, file a complaint with your credit card company and do a chargeback - or request a new cc number such that the old one is retired. If you have to justify it with the bank, just tell them Bitdefender has no process for canceling a subscription once started. If they press further, or get pushback from Bitdefender, tell them the customer service rep suggested trying to send a letter to see if that might work.
