Loud bikes are not safer. 50+ years of crash data shows this.

Anyone have suggestions for an app to search across all my stuff? That is, Google Drive, GitHub, GitLab, Box.com and local files?

> brutally test them

I cut my teeth in the industry on the test side at MS; it was a bit adversarial with the dev side. And there was a third side to get us both on documentation.

It was frustrating but, I think we made Good Stuff (NT4, Win2k).

I have not seen that rigor since.

If the relationship is demonstrated to be as close as the Jones-Trump-Judge in this one, sure.

Recusal is evaluated case-by-case so an all-for-everything situation, like you've described, is unwarranted.

> detecting these rings is doable

You've just done it.

Flag an account negative, chase the loop (spiral?).

To my other point about API to these systems, it's rad because you can build your own accept/reject groups.

Don't even need AI to detect your "out group" - FastText is good enough to filter.

Not a service but I'm just happy to have a "noise machine" (aka Social Network) that has great API access.

All of these things are so Loud, so API is like the only way to get what I want out of the Game.

For reference elder care facility in CA Metro Area is like $20k/MO and in MA suburb is like $11k/mo.

At $15k/mo you can get like 65 months of service.

I was around when vDOM was being called optimized.

I was also around when they called it DHTML.

I love them, discovered when I lived in Seattle. Now I've got a crazy little one WJOP-LP but some of the DJs play local little bands and more obscure artists. Must be a teaching/training type thing.

On HTTP one can use the Accept header to indicate desired response type.

djbusby — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 21:03:22 +0000

We had this problem at work too. And didn't want yet another service provider. Built our own, in Go, for incoming and outgoing. Has some routing features too. Client Webhooks configs stored in that service and our main app API to that thing to configure.

Not optimized for scale, likely only a few thousand per second capable.
