I think the article was wondering how many billion dollar bulldozers the world needs. My local hardware store sells a variety of axes. I myself am a happy ax user. I even replace them.

That is standard practice because you will need to cycle that marketing domain until the end of time as its email reputation sinks into the abyss. Because people don’t want spam.

It's good practice because sometimes I don't feel like hitting the Spam button but I still want to black-hole the marketing e-mails. If you are also sending transaction e-mails through that address, then I have to decide whether to bother keeping you as a sender.

I went decaf drinks only back in 2024. I was fine and thinking “what’s the big deal” until day three. I will never forget that day. So horrible.

Still decaf only. Has been a pretty positive change for me. Kicked the soda habit completely. Sleep is better. I find I’m even all day. I generally only get tired when I’m bored.


Decaf only is great for coffee lovers. Instant decaf is of course just a way to spoil perfectly good hot water. But decaf beans from a good roaster are good then grind and make what you desire - espresso, pour over, french press, moka etc.

Maybe preground OK for non-espresso too?

Microsoft response at the end of that article.

I used to work for companies that were Microsoft Partners. One of Microsoft's rules was that they required Partners to employ one (or more) developers that have some Microsoft certification. As an MSCD, I met those requirements (for silver and gold levels). That cert is no longer offered, so I wonder if some exception/rule got removed and now all the partners without "certified" developers got kicked to the curb?

developers, developers; nah- AI, AI ...

when Copilot is certified, you'll be fine


I use a Dell Latitude 3550 on OpenBSD. Never tried the camera but I’ve used everything else without incident.

Update your DNS when it changes. Pretty trivial.


Yeah I tried writing a script for that, but at a certain point using an off the shelf tool that does everything is easier.


You can make a shared photo album with family members. It’s everyone else that is problematic with the feature enabled. In my case I only want to share with my wife and son so it wasn’t a detractor for me.


I’ve used it on my personal iPhone since the feature was released. The impact to my life has been minor. I can’t share some thing with my wife in the health app and my son can’t SharePlay with me in the car while I use CarPlay.


Which is infinitely better than the cases we know about without the feature enabled.


Plenty of people already submit AI code as their own change. I’d argue every open source program is already “tainted” in that way.


Didn’t think I’d have to clarify what quotes mean in this context but using an LLM to help with coding is fine and people should get over it as it’s already everywhere anyway.
