My dad and I both think apple has been best bang for the buck. I've let that one lapse, but I've enjoyed their originals.

I still pay for it because they haven't cracked down on sharing. It's why o still have Hulu too.

If that goes, then so does my sub.

I'm in that boat now 😭

Except I built the app from the ground up and I was super proud of it. I learned so much about PKI and S3 and made a better system for our suppliers, engineers, and customers.

The fatal flaw was that changing supplier workflows was a complete non starter. It didn't matter that I reduced the complexity of supplier involvement and made it easier for them to work with us, the old supplier portal HAD to be their front end, which has no api to interact with (one of the drivers for this project).

Without the direct supplier pipeline, the tool is worse than useless. Now we need a manual process to receive, validate, and sign software before moving it to the new system. Then to deliver it requires another manual process in reverse.

I made everyone involved life worse.

Oh no my cilantro aversion

If you think that's bad, wait until you learn that people don't actually own you free shit.

Guys it's a bit, he's doing a bit. Calm down.

I think they mean "looting."

I presume you have a problem turning data sharing on?

I've learned a bit about trans life and issues from boards like these. The problem is that people assume that you know everything, and making a bad assumption is a personal attack.

So learning about trans issues is this annoying game of: put my foot in my mouth, get piled on by a bunch of pissed off internet commenters, try to engage so I can learn something, wade through the vitriol to find the one or two people not putting words in my mouth, learn a new thing.

It's exhausting and makes me not want to try most of the time.

Damn poor guy. I'll put 20 bucks on his books for Ramen. Dudes a true patriot.

I was 21 when I joined up. Got my batchelors, saw the world, met some people, did some things. Now I'm settled where I want doing the career I want. I credit the navy with a lot of the growing up/maturing I did.

You could join the AirForce. Get a degree or two out of it and get to travel some. 4 years isn't a terrible commitment. I'd avoid the navy, army, or Marines tho, unless you also want to aim for medical disability lol

Which part of "Condemming Russia's Illegal Attempts to Annex Ukrainian Territory" is ambiguous?

What? Does the aid received from the US and EU not count?

$2.1B from the US alone since 2022 plus sanctions on Russia and Belarus.

Edit, since folks can't Google:

Pretty clear recognition to me. In fact 143 nations voted to condemn Russia calling what they did "illegal".

Damn, good shot!

Big tech won't chip in is my bet. My company maintains its own version of Linux that has some specific certifications. Updating that box requires an act of god. My bet is that the companies that can afford to will create their own "LTS" versions that just get older and older, and more broken and exploited as time goes on...

Sorry, long night at work =/

We use git lab... there might be something equivalent I'll check out. I really hate testing/building/fixing cicd because of how long it takes to try something out.

That pattern makes sense for large distributed systems or mature miceoservice frameworks that undergo constant maintenance or updating. And even then, it's only useful if the interface is well thought out and designed.

In practice, the interface is whatever you happened to need when you make the service class, and it ends up being a 1:1 service to serviceImpl situation.

Most things don't need to be a service, a utility class to send emails is fine, you're not going to "interface" with that in any unique ways that need a service... im rambling on the toilet now

No this is about money.

In 15 years there won't be any live action "big budget" movies anymore, they will be generated using ai models and licensing the likeness of actors.

The fact that they are eating 500M right now means that they are confident in their models, hence my 15 year prediction.
