GCP's support sucks compared the quality on AWS. On everything else I find GCP very pleasant.

> A city can also exist in multiple zip codes.

Sure but a zip code belongs to only one city and one state, right?

New comment by ptdorf in "Review of 1984 by Isaac Asimov (1980)"

Same here. Asimov threw a veiled tantrum.

> He did not have the science fictional knack of foreseeing a plausible future and, in actual fact, in almost all cases, the world of 1984 bears no relation to the real world of the 1980s.

Asimov refuses to concede that Orwell beat him at his game. The book is not about predicting future gadgets but societal patterns and operating models.

Red meat is good for you. Animal fat is good for you.

Sugar is the real enemy.

New comment by ptdorf in "Microsoft has a problem: lack of demand for its AI products"

ptdorf — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 18:47:45 +0000

Nobody sane wants to use their shoddy products.

Their office products can't even agree having the same menu options for the same functionality.

People use them out of corporate inertia: Windows laptops are cheaper than Macs and that brings the whole office suite in.

People don't get sarcarm :/

Totally unrelated, if you need to suffix a k8s deployment with "-deployment" you are a hack, a fraud, an overengineer and someone who should NOT work as software or devops engineer.

Am I blind or where is `kind` coming from?

It should be `eventType` (string).

Seriously, the fact this comment is, so far, at the top is mind boggling.

Yes but /comments/:comment_uuid that has a parent to /pulls/:pull_uuid is harder to map the hierarchy it belongs to.
