Russia, and especially Putin (over the last 26 years), never considered Ukraine an ally but rather a puppet and something that must be in their direct influence/control. Their relationship can’t be compared to the one the US and Canada had.

The documents pack is like an A4 folder 1cm thick. He received close to 100 in one day. Enough for his mailbox to get full and for the postie to dump most of it on the lawn

I worked for an Australian insurance company and we physically DDOSed a poor man's real mailbox with printed policy documents as we used their address during e2e testing and we mistakenly didn't put a testing flag somewhere.

Our CTO had to personally apologise to him

Why shouldn't I do quite the opposite? I don't want people with a questionable morale who knowingly built those systems work in my company

In Brisbane, Australia they run a 6-month trial to make all public transport trips to be 50c (that includes buses, metro, ferries). It was so successful and widely loved that it was a no-brainier for it to be extended indefinitely

I agree. It is very easy to fall in the trap: "I let AI write all the tests" and then find yourself in a situation where you have an unmaintainable mess with the only way to fix broken test within a reasonable time is to blindly accept AI to do that. Which exposes you to the similar level of risk as running any unchecked AI code - you just can't trust that it works correctly

I'm returning my cart not because of my support of grocery stores but because I care about other customers: abandoned carts getting in the way of walking/parking, may damage cars and just in general clutter the space

Is the law the only thing that stops you from littering?

I usually just leave them in the cart and we go and return it together. Or now as they became older - they push it themselves to the corrals (with me next to them of course).

Feels like a lazy justification

My comparion was about people often using risky products without fully realsing their risk

Yeah, all strategies with things like that work very well until they don't.

Odte situation reminds me of retail investors discovering $XIV, having a good time using "safe" strategies and then getting wiped clean by the volatility spike in 2018

I personally believe iOS 7 was terrible but it was step in the right direction and continuous iterations on that design make overall user experience better than it was before. Currently, I'm not a big fan of iOS 26 but I'm willing to give a benefit of the doubt to Apple and see if the vision they have is actually make things better

All these threads about iOS 26 reminded me about something long forgotten like... the release of iOS

I suggest to check the comments in this 12 years old thread [1], replace version number 7 with 26 there and realise that some things never change

I actually really like that comment. It's an example of classic doublespeak and it's a shame that "Open"AI uses it and we as society tolerate that (as well as other companies of course)

There is a tip I've read somewhere to reach out to your elderly parents for questions you know they can answer instead of just googling it. Just to keep the connection and also make them feel needed and valued by their grown up kids.

I'm tryin to follow that advise often asking them household or cooking related questions

A few years ago I've bought an old cassette deck, ordered a few cassettes on discogs.com (some of them 30+ years old) and even recorded a few mixtapes myself. There is a long forgotten strange feeling to hold a physical media with music. Like it gives it weight...

And surprisingly, the quality is not too bad for my non-audiophile ears. Especially if you go beyond Type-I cassettes

I worked for a big tech and may be I was lucky but code wise it was much more tame. You may need to get an army of people to sign off the feature but nobody was scrutinizing my code like that
