To prevent abuse, for example to prevent an old owner of domain to have a valid certificate for the domain indefinitely after transfer.

I had the same experience. It's even more confusing when you want to create an API key because they are separated by product, maybe?

Why wouldn’t it be? It’s a mean derivation of their company name.

Maybe publicly invisible, but a personal network and resume have always been important in a career.

Even following their own "getting started" tutorials you get stuck at step one trying to find Visual Studio or whatever it's called nowadays.

Fuzzy automated reviews should always run in an interactive loop with a developer on their workstation and contain enough context to quickly assess if they are valid or not.

When developers create a PR, they already feel they are "done", and they have likely already shifted their focus on another task. False positive are horrible at this point, especially when they keep changing with each push of commits.

Especially with small datasets it’s more important to be exact at the expense of a user having to fix a typo.

I have also seen situations where sales opted into Microsoft early on. When they grew in relation to engineering forced the rest of the company to standardize to Microsoft products so they could get better rates and “save money”.

New comment by Manfred in "Article by article, how Big Tech shaped the EU's roll-back of digital rights"

Manfred — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 14:05:57 +0000

The fight against “left” and “right” is just a narrative to gin up allegiance with certain groups.

The only relevance to the article is that it indicates which parties have sided with the US administration to fight consumer’s digital rights.

It seems more likely that people will buy a digital copy of the book for a few bucks and then run the TTS themselves on devices they already own.

Which is why you put them in the sea or in places with sparse population.

A microservice architecture would probably use a message bus because they would also need to broadcast the result.

> I can definitively see use cases for both

Me too, I was just wondering if you have any real world examples of a project with a large payload.

In my experience you want job parameters to be one, maybe two ids. Do you have a real world example where that is not the case?

I would hope the trillions of dollars sloshing around are used to pay people to make the core of the product better.

I wouldn't call it confusing because the rules are very regular. Prepositions and articles are lowercase unless they start the sentence, the same rules apply to spelling in titles (eg. book titles).
