Plus, higher ethanol content in fuel reduces its energy density, so while this will certainly reduce prices, it will make people buy gas more often. Meaning.. Not a great fix.

I think it's more that a ton of popular python libraries (things like pandas, tensor, etc) are actually built in C, so python is just C wearing a mask

The watermark in the lower right of each image is the Gemini watermark. Definitely AI

Its Walmart canada (based on the sign in the background) so 99.99 is the MSRP based on Nintendo.ca. that's a little over 70 USD

As a cloud engineer - renting any distribution servers from a cloud provider will result in a dev paying for every download. You pay based on the bandwidth you consume in the cloud (I.e., you pay per Gb delivered) as opposed to your pipeline like you do when you run your own private servers. You also pay storage costs per month. You'd have to maintain that "forever" as well, because people would want to uninstall, then re-install later.

I get your argument, and I'm not discounting it, but I do suspect that for smaller devs the price they're paying to Valve is well earned on Valve's side (and the fact that so many devs choose to use it would seem to bear this out). We should also consider that steam is essentially built-in DRM to games.

For larger customers, they likely have this infrastructure and get annoyed at the costs. They still go to Steam though because it increases their reach as a type of marketing strategy, so they still likely find the cut worth while. If Steam was more hostile to users, then people would actively look for alternatives (I.e., the Gogs of the world), and the publishers would have to target more storefronts.

So yes, Steam's primary customers are publishers, but I'm not sure they're really getting the raw end of the deal here :)

Note - you can completely disable all the AI features in Gitlab. In fact, they're disabled by default unless you explicitly enable them by configuring model integrations. I think its one of the better self hosted options because it had a clear maintenance and path to profitability.

I run my own GitLab on a NUC with no issues.

this is... an interesting argument. as an EV driver, you're essentially saying 'I want giant signs and chargers on every corner' which is how you'd find them without needing a map. this seems unlikely to really ever happen because we simply have better options now, but I guess we'll see.

you can self host gitlab too, and its free. yes, you CAN buy a license, but you can run it free forever. you can also use their SaaS free forever too.

at least right now, I think it's the best alternative, though I completely understand people wanting to favor OSS.

i hit a deer with my rivian r1t at 75. the deer walked away a bit then toppled over. the crumple zone of the truck was not happy, but no part of the deer was missing

This is a horrible way to look at this because it discourages future disclosures. If anything, this disclosure indicates this company is trustworthy and learns from their mistakes with honest disclosures when things go wrong. The type of behavior we all wish every vendor had.

I have no need for their product, but if I was using them this would make me feel better, not worse.

Not quite - batteries have something called self-discharge, which happens faster at higher temps. If you're actively using the deck, it can get warm which speeds up this process. It's not fast, but it's absolutely possible to see depending on how long you leave the deck docked

some fun misinformation here. yes, if you have already paid off your car, it will be cheaper to continue paying elevated prices for gas than to buy a new car. yes, FAST charging stations are more rare than gas pumps.

NO, you aren't buying a new EV battery every 3-5 years. I've driven an EV for 4 years now and the battery is under warranty for another 100k miles still. Even if it wasn't there is ample evidence that batteries last significantly longer than people think.

NO, you will not be going to a fast charger as often as you go to a gas pump unless you cannot charge where you live. even a 10a 220v outlet will often charge more than someone drives in a day overnight.

EVs are the future, so its good to be educated instead of listening to the posts like this one.

It sounds like this isn't E2EE based on the article - there has been no papers published, and the verbiage in privacy agreements still states Twitter can decrypt your messages as needed. That indicates this is functionally similar to the old messages.

Can you let us know what happens when you connect the keyboard? Also potentially the model of the keyboard.

Plus, speaking as an OSS maintainer for some rather large libraries... Its obvious. You can also just close MRs and if the user comments and engages in meaningful discussion you reopen. Cost of a wrong decision is low.

The issue here is that cyber security folks seem to forget that fundamentally security is insurance. The goal is to pay the least youb can to prevent issues.

The number of times I've talked to CSOs or CISOs that want every piece of data in their seim or extremely strict controls is innumerable. If your spend all your budget on tools and data you have no budget for people. Its better to actually understand your risk posture and plan accordingly.

However, thats boring. Just like devs want to use kubernetes for their 5 user site, security folks want the shiniest endpoint protections. Resume driven development and resume driven security are real, and in a world where there is more direct cost and fewer discreet deliverables, its likely felt more on security.

Google is still planning on giving them the code; that's in the article

There are two editions of Gitlab - community edition (completely open source) and enterprise edition (closed source additions). You can run CE completely free. You can actually run EE completely free too, there are just some features disabled
