someone from github posted a usage graph from the last year on twitter a while ago and they were serving like 14x more requests in a matter of months. it's frankly impressive they've kept up.

I find grep and common cli command spam to be the primary issue. I enjoy Rust Token Killer https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk, and agents know how to get around it when it truncates too hard.

You would be wrong. The IRA is projected to remove a California-sized block of US emissions by 2030. The IRA is the single strongest climate action tried by any country since the Paris Accords.
KH was also pro nuclear.

It should also come with a reckoning on their role in the recent history that led to this change and it should be clearly communicated.
And the standard to/not publish should be clearly laid out and justified in their own words.

In an effort to lower the deficit effects of the Trump tax cuts (i.e. increase revenue so they could cut further in other areas), they reclassified software developers salary so that their salaries have to be amortized over multiple years, instead of just a business expense in that year. This is usually done for assets as those things have an intrinsic value that could be sold.
In this case, business have to pay taxes on "profit" that they don't have as it immediately went to salaries. There were a lot of small business that were hit extremely hard.
They tried to fix it in the recent tax bill but it was killed in the Senate last I checked. You can see more here: https://www.finance.senate.gov/chairmans-news/fact-sheet-on-....
Also, software developers in Oil and Gas industries are exempt from this :)

I don't know if I'd go that far. It's pretty easy to go from ARM to Bicep. And Bicep is genuinely better at everything ARM does and has a wider breadth of features as a DSL- and that is genuinely valuable. It was always going to have to be back compatible/compile to ARM: moving off it has to start somewhere.
re: nix, it does infra?

Bicep is fantastic. But it compiles to ARM, so it's still limited by ARM's weaknesses and gaps, in addition to the underlying general instability of Azure and the inconsistencies from the Resource Providers. As well, Bicep is declarative- which is elegant in theory, but the stateful design of Terraform can cover up some of those underlying ARM/Azure gaps in practice. The deployment stacks approach on Azure should help further, but there's still a long way to go.

I've always liked the idea of this monetization model. But have you thought about how to disincentivize content stealing? Feels like these models end up needing a very thorough verification system.

That's not all of it, either. Older buyers have gotten the lionshare of their wealth from housing appreciation by preventing new housing and pay a lower tax burden than new buyers due to Prop 13. There's a reason that when it made it to the supreme court Justice Stevens called it medeival and referred to entrenched owners as Squires.
"During the two past decades, California property owners have enjoyed extraordinary prosperity. As the State's population has mushroomed, so has the value of its real estate. Between 1976 and 1986 alone, the total assessed value of California property subject to property taxation increased tenfold. Simply put, those who invested in California real estate in the 1970s are among the most fortunate capitalists in the world.Proposition 13 has provided these successful investors with a tremendous windfall and, in doing so, has created severe inequities in California's property tax scheme. These property owners (hereinafter "the Squires) are
guaranteed that, so long as they retain their property and do not improve it, their taxes will not increase more than 2% in any given year. As a direct result of this windfall for the Squires, later purchasers must pay far more than their fair share of property taxes." https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/90-1912.ZD.html

there were no deployments near 11/10, according to that graph - they also say in the blog that scala2 could go for two weeks without restart, so theyre presumably aware of some sort of memory management issues they're just okay with it.

Probably not? The crux of the opinion seems to grant fair use because it enabled a "new and transformative use," which is a box that a different line of encyclopedias doesn't seem to check.

It's an ISO 8601 vs Gregorian calendar peculiarity, not inaccuracy. See the date section here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601, another example of a week 53.
