Building apps on Windows feels like a big PITA to get into. The amount of different frameworks and libraries to work with is perplexing to a new developer and I really do not want to use electron or React or even Qt.

Where do I start? Do you have a compiled version of some information on this?

Even following their own "getting started" tutorials you get stuck at step one trying to find Visual Studio or whatever it's called nowadays.

Fuzzy automated reviews should always run in an interactive loop with a developer on their workstation and contain enough context to quickly assess if they are valid or not.

When developers create a PR, they already feel they are "done", and they have likely already shifted their focus on another task. False positive are horrible at this point, especially when they keep changing with each push of commits.

Especially with small datasets it’s more important to be exact at the expense of a user having to fix a typo.

Products don't necessarily win on merit.

Microsoft Teams "won" entirely because it was given away free with Office. Even though it is acceptable these days, it was horrible when it started. There is no way it could have won without unlimited backing from a bigger force.

You have to see EU trying these things in the same light.

I have also seen situations where sales opted into Microsoft early on. When they grew in relation to engineering forced the rest of the company to standardize to Microsoft products so they could get better rates and “save money”.

Far left EU MEPs complain about what far right are doing. So what else is new in politics?

Do they also complain when they themselves meet with Meta, or is it an issue only when their growing opposition do it?

You know the saying "For my friends everything, for my enemies, the law"?

The fight against “left” and “right” is just a narrative to gin up allegiance with certain groups.

The only relevance to the article is that it indicates which parties have sided with the US administration to fight consumer’s digital rights.

Wouldn't audible be perfectly positioned to take advantage of this. They have the perfect setup to integrate this into their offering.

It seems more likely that people will buy a digital copy of the book for a few bucks and then run the TTS themselves on devices they already own.

Compared to solar, they are kind of noisy though. If you are used to not hearing the constant traffic "rumble" that exists almost everywhere, they add quite a lot of "rumble" themselves.

Which is why you put them in the sea or in places with sparse population.

Well Trump said it: "why it is we only take people from s**hole countries," and "why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, just a few? Let's have a few from Denmark."

I guess Denmark is going to be out of the question now.

> Push the payload directly to queue can be tricky. Any queue system usually will have limits on the payload size, for good reasons.

Is that how microservice messages work? They push the whole data so the other systems can consume it and take it from there?

Manfred · a month ago
A microservice architecture would probably use a message bus because they would also need to broadcast the result.
