Oli (Oliver? Not sure which you prefer, which I realize now I should have asked a long time ago in our first call) - Just wanted to reiterate that I really appreciate what you have done with both OpenRegulatory and…
Cannot emphasize this enough. I think one of my best purchases in the past year or two was investing in the MFC-L3780CDW Brother laser printer. Took some research and timing but couldn’t be happier with no longer having…
It seems the company behind this product has gone out of business and the product itself is no longer sold (their e-commerce site is still up, but the shop is empty)? Which is a bummer, as I went looking after your…
Wow, seeing this made me surprisingly emotional as I realized that downloading the pre-release leaked source code for some testing levels of HL2 (which included an early version of what would become Steam, as well) -…
Good point! I hadn’t looked at how resale value holds up. Maybe I will do that after all… thanks for the suggestion!
I was quite surprised by this discrepancy as well (my new iPhone has 7, but the new MBP does not). I had just assumed that for sure this would be the year I upgrade my M1 Max MBP to an M4 Max. I will not be doing so…
This is really exciting to see for me personally. I've been pushing over the past six months or so for multiple clients, from healthcare companies with basic mobile apps to deep gaming companies / products, to adopt…
It hadn't occurred to me that even a photo with the lens cap on still contains decent entropy, although it now seems somewhat obvious to me in hindsight after thinking about it. I really enjoyed how this article covered…
I think yours is a fair opinion as well, to be clear - I actually debated editing him out for a couple of minutes after I first posted, because I do know that his background was truly heavy on the gamedev side of things…
This is helpful context as well, in addition to doomlaser's explanation of his background re: IBM and Red Hat. Thanks for sharing it. I wonder to what extent Silver Lake drove this overall decision (vs. others on the…
I agree! I posted before that comment, which was definitely helpful - that context (and some other helpful replies here and elsewhere in the overall thread) have changed my assessment as well.
I agree - this may be unclear phrasing on my part. What I meant in my original comment was, "wow, this seems like a hire that is only focused on finding someone with lots of experience managing, and not at all on the…
Agreed - the reaffirmation of guidance almost felt to me like a "seriously guys, why are we down 22% up front, you know this doesn't impact short-term revenue..." which... definitely misses the point. It's interesting…
Yeah, I think this could definitely be one explanation. Other commenters in the thread have also given good thoughts / potential scenarios in similar veins - essentially that this was actually a failure of messaging,…
I have to say, the only thing more surprising to me than seeing the board actually hold Riccitiello responsible for this (with consequences) is seeing that their interim replacement / transitional CEO is someone with a…
To paraphrase a certain AI Resume Roaster... "Bro, there is no way you have a PDF parser that can't handle multiple pages..." But in all seriousness, this is a fun idea. Albeit with quite the narrow funnel dropoff right…
I’m not sure if this accounts for the datasets you are referencing, but one reason for layoffs to cluster at the beginning of the month, in the US at least, is health insurance… Typically if you are laid off, your…
I really appreciate you taking the time to provide this context! Intuitively I had a rough idea around why this was both a) a blocking issue ("why can't we just YOLO-try some version of it anyways?" came up at least a…
As someone who built quite a bit of tech / product on Workers / Pages over the last year and a half or so, this (and some other announcements from this week) really excites me and I wish our timing had been better. Not…
Have to second this - a fantastic idea unfortunately marred by very poor control responsiveness. Sibling comments are correct, on review, that it seems you can work around it by holding down in advance. Unfortunately by…
We are still in the early stages of our launch / rolling this out, but this problem is one of the main things our team is hoping to help solve at https://playpad.com - WebRTC chat combined with fun games / activities…
Georgia Tech set up a room in the CS department for a live broadcast of this lecture when he gave it. I had just started as a brand new freshman a month before, and happened to find out about it / check it out on a…

We used Haxe for a while at my last company for a cross-platform engine that would actually run well on web (browsers couldn't yet handle "real" Unity WebGL builds at that time). While it "worked" and the resulting…
