They can stock pretty things on the shelves but if you have to wait in a 30 person deep self checkout line to buy them while a dozen checkouts are unstaffed, who cares
A neon sign that says "FREE DELIVERY" but the "R" has been covered up by a small bag, so instead it says "FEE DELIVERY." (The sign also has a a ramen bowl & the word "OPEN" on it, but that's irrelevant to the joke.)
When you no longer offer free delivery but don't want to pay for a new neon sign.
Was one of the most valuable lessons I learned, working in consulting, and has carried me forward as a product engineer:
Always define the scope of the problem before running out to try to solve it.
Anyway glad they no longer have to worry about this 😀
They really wanted us to automate this adjustment, which had been previously done manually. I asked how many employees were affected and they said it was tens of employees, and the timekeepers knew exactly what adjustment to do.
Would never have paid off in 100 years to build this in software.
A past job had me building the time & payroll system for the BC Provincial Health Services Authority.

Critics say that Trump's war with Iran could have a lot of blowback. But there is no historical precedent for the United States overthrowing an Iranian government and then facing 50 years of hostility from Iranians.
This whole essay is worth a read and is probably more thoughtful than anything else you’ll read on the subject of what happened between Anthropic and the DoW. hyperdimensional.co/p/clawed
What happens to Square / Block Android OSS projects post layoffs?
Let's start with some context
OSS at Square is mostly a happy accident. Jack hired Bob, who's job was attracking world class engineers, and he did that through talks & OSS.
And will they rename it back to Just Max again
fellas is it woke to not have autonomously operated weapons controlled by Claude
all these companies IPO’d using the dual share structure that lets founders retain control and get away with stupid decision after stupid decision with no accountability
like why did Square, a payments company, buy Tidal, for any reason other than Jack and Jay-Z were BFFs
Well past time for Tyra Banks to reboot America's Next Top Model.
I just caught a whiff of someone smoking cloves. In my head it’s going to be these folks and nothing will convince me otherwise

If you'd like to get a hype-free take on what's happening with AI in the tech industry, The Pragmatic Summit keynote by @lauratacho.com is a must-watch.
Recorded two weeks ago, made public for everyone today. It got SO much love at the event: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOHg...
Is there some forced friction beyond the warning, eg they *must* re-verify/confirm their email and recovery methods?
Running on a linux PC in my basement. What I want is something to wrangle a few headless emulators and have a client tool that tunnels ADB back.
Right now I'm fighting with GPU acceleration, as atm it feels like a choppy emulator from the 2011 days
Didn't realize the Android emulator has WebRTC support and gRPC channel for control events, I guess that was built for Firebase Test Lab and we got it for free as a result
