I just bought a 2015 Apple TV for $20 on ebay. I have a 4k one from somewhere around 2020. I really see no reason to upgrade anytime soon.

You can use their CLI and registry for free. I agree that their paid offerings are crazy expensive, but it's simple to just commit your protos in your monorepo (or a proto repo), install buf, create buf.gen.yaml with a few language plugins, and you're up and running. All the pain of protoc is handled. It's been a massive improvement in usability since they came along.

> The government mandates that cars get safer every year and fatalities are down 78% from the 1960s. Whenever government regulates things to benefit people, people tend to benefit.

On some metrics. On affordability, new cars are considerably more expensive. Whether that's a worthwhile tradeoff is beside the point. The GP's point is that there's no free lunch, and your example doesn't address that.

They did not. The rep told me to return it and buy another. :/

Funny, I just bought one of these last week. Agree with the article. Mine came with storage and Debian preinstalled. If you buy one from Amazon, keep an eye on price. I bought, then the next day the price dropped $150. Ordered another one and returned the expensive order.

So do it.

Those sort of flaky or non-deterministic steps are written as activities, not as part of the deterministic workflow. The orchestrator will retry the non-deterministic activity until it gets a usable output (expected error, success), and record the activity output. If the workflow replays (i.e. worker crash), that recorded output of the activity will be returned instead of executing the activity again.

Brave has a subscription tier that offers storage rights. But it's ~9x the cost of their normal Pro subscription. I have a hard time imagining that the cost works out in their favor (discounting the possibility of a special arrangement) with how long the query stream tail is in web search.

Try a short story collection. Ten page chunks are easy to consume and you get to tell yourself you’re reading literature. It’s a good way to get back into reading on paper if you’ve been away and want to start small.

What is “safe app”? Too generic to be googleable.

Because if you send marketing emails through SMTP, your delivery rate will be approximately 0.00%, or if you're leveraging a third party SMTP, they will ban you.

"No 'default search deals'" doesn't sound like projecting, it sounds like a direct shot.

Sounds to me like what you meant to say is that your criteria for determining whether someone's profession is "serious" is whether they use metric or not.

Every carpenter I’ve met uses sixteenths of an inch, and every metal worker uses thousandths.
