Did you read the post? Nothing is hijacked, but its a trick where they render the normal button in a ui element for secret data, which is blanked by the system on screenshot, revealing the logo underneath. Its a reasonable feature, so its hard for apple to control it better or remove this.

While I agree in principle, Github with their CI is very critical to many parties.

Especially writing code has rarely been very hard the past 10 years. It was always reading existing code and understanding its implications that was the hard part, and understanding how to adapt new requirements together with the existing ones.

I think its more important that protovalidate is not affiliated with grpc in any way. One needs a custom middleware to implement the protovalidate rules for your language used.

My experience is that its usually good for communications and cooperation, but not nearly as helpful as management envision.

Is it? OpenAI and Anthropic are burning cash faster than anyone has ever shoveled cash into a furnace.

its not so bad if the funds arent used to borrow 10x, and then spent entirely on nvidia chips.

if the data center builders cant cover debt payments, market will likely flood with cheap data center gpus to cover some of the liabilities.

low-traffic auto increment like user creation can be relatively performant by reserving batches up front, then using those in each shard.

But the use-case for this is mostly if you do not need, or have very limited use for anything cross-shard.

This mostly only makes sense if you dont already have a workable game engine. Basing your entire company on UE5 is a risk in itself, but also from the product you make your money selling: Every UE5 game kind of feels the same as every other, so it also means you put a low value in your product experience.

yeah, the float is very low, even if tech IPOs sometimes feature fairly low floats. But the cash sum raised is still ludicrous for a money furnace.
