They use it, but do they love it or do they feel like they need it to do their best work and stay ahead?

I hate cars but I still drive to the office 1x / week because I have to.

You can absolutely do a chargeback months later. This is fraud, and credit card companies are usually very willing to address that! Typically they'll put the onus on Photobucket to demonstrate that you received the service you paid for, and they won't be able to do that in your case.

I've suffered this several times over my now 25-year career, and the best answer I've found is therapy. Find a good[*] therapist and work with them, preferably every week, until you feel better.

[*] I like this definition of "a good therapist", from a book I read many years ago:

> Here’s what you should look for in a good therapist.

> Some good signs are:

> * Someone you know says this therapist has helped them with a similar problem in concrete ways.

> * The therapist offers a plan that focuses on helping you reach the goals you’ve set, and it’s clear to you how what the therapist does will help you reach your goals.

> * This therapist uses a variety of methods depending on your problem and who you are.

> * You have an ongoing sense that this therapist is more often than not helping you feel better in your life and helping your life work better.

> Some bad signs are:

> * There’s no change in your life or how you feel or what you do after four sessions, or things actually get worse.

> * The therapist seems uninterested in the concrete realities of your current life.

> * The therapist is focused exclusively on ways you’ve been damaged, instead of on your needs or strengths.

> * The therapist seems to have one all-purpose theory or “answer” that explains everything.

I hope this helps! Burnout is real, you're not alone, and I'm glad you're taking some steps towards recovery!

This dude named a Python data analysis library after a retrocomputing (Commodore era) tape drive. He _definitely_ should stop trying to name things.

Even the anthropomorphism argument doesn't hold up under close scrutiny. When I was in high school I was asked to memorize several poems, including a few that are under copyright today. If I regurgitate one of these poems and present it as my own, this clearly infringes copyright, even if I no longer recall where the poem came from or who wrote it.

How is what OpenAI is doing with NYT stories any different, other than the architecture and substrate of the neural network?

Time to request my data by email! I got ChatGPT to write me this, and submitted it using https://www.ksv.at/en/company/contact

    Full Name: [Your Full Name]
    Date of Birth: [Your Date of Birth]

As well as the hurdles pointed out in the article, their Article 15 process (starting here: https://digitalerantrag.ksv.at/Dip/?request=auskunft-nach-ar... ) requires an Austrian mobile phone number. Personally I'd like to exercise my rights under Article 15 (since I am an EU citizen) but I don't have an Austrian phone number.

I deleted about 400 MB of files using the "Storage" page in the left sidebar of my Google Drive ( https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/quota ) and now I can edit my Sheet again. My "storage" page in settings (https://drive.google.com/settings/storage) still shows 18.86 GB of 28 GB used.

Honestly, I regret ever signing up for the product that is now "legacy G Suite". It's been a rough experience over the years and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to migrate from this product to a regular Google account. (I looked into this back when they were threatening to discontinue the product.)

Yes, this is happening to me too. Last time I successfully edited a Google Sheet was this morning around 8 AM, and now (6 PM) it's broken. My "storage" page shows 18.86 GB of 28 GB used, and I have no idea what's going on.

Sorry I don't have a solution here, but at least we're not alone.

We've been shipping a Docker-based app to customers for years, and every now and then one of them runs a security scanner on our images. I have yet to see a scan that isn't a disaster of false positives (for the reasons outlined in the article and more!)

One of the craziest recent examples was a scan using a tool called Twistlock. Many of our images are built from an upstream image that may have outdated apt dependencies, so one of the first things we do is upgrade them. Twistlock flagged _every instance_ of this because "Package binaries should not be altered" (in other words, between subsequent layers in an image). I am baffled how anyone at Twistlock decided that this was a useful thing for their product to detect, or why any Twistlock customer trusts it given issues like this.

The product I work on is geared towards big corporate IT environments, and I can confirm that this sort of thing is not unusual at all.

A recent support ticket went along the lines of:

Customer: An audit discovered that JDK version X was installed as part of your software. It has a vulnerability and we demand a way to upgrade to JDK X+1 that has the fix.

Our support team: We're already aware of that and the latest point release of our software bundles JDK X+2, which fixes that vulnerability and 2 others. Please upgrade.

Customer: Our compliance team requires JDK X+1. Please provide a way to install this version.

We eventually solved the problem by having them upgrade to the latest major release of our software, which doesn't use Java at all, but it boggles my mind that they wanted a _less_ secure JDK.

I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. I've been using this method on and off for years with great results. In fact I'm just finishing off eating a few slices from a loaf that just came out of the oven now!

The idea is that you pre-make dough in batches and refrigerate. Then on baking day (every 2-3 days for me) you shape a loaf and bake it. All the baking day tasks add up to less than 5 minutes spread over a couple of hours, and the prep is really quick too!

The basic recipe is the best starting point: https://artisanbreadinfive.com/2013/10/22/the-new-artisan-br...

This looks great but I don't see anything about pricing / business model, which worries me. Are they going to start charging for subscriptions once they're established? or inserting ads everywhere to make money? or do the intend to pursue freemium features with a solid "free forever" feature set?

I only really want to invest the time and energy into getting my friends using this service if it's the latter.
