don't stop working on this!!


Our latest offering is designed around a modular, customizable platform, emphasizing cost-effectiveness and a simplified billing approach. Think of it as crafting custom production homes for your apps, where you only pay for the raw resources you use - namely compute, storage, bandwidth, with the platform engineering and security essentials on the house.

I am curious: Does our value proposition resonate with anyone? Is the idea of a "same price, more benefit" model, where we match your current cloud bill for added advantages, compelling enough?

Any feedback is invaluable for us at this stage, not just for refining our approach but for shaping an execution we are hoping genuinely meets a developer's needs.

For those interested, we’re offering to match your cloud bill, providing an opportunity to experience our productized service's full potential at no extra cost.


TLDR: a leap second overloaded computer systems due to issues in how Linux handles time.


Time to plug my old explanation of leap seconds:

https://robotsinplainenglish.com/e/2022-11-20-stopwatch-time...


> As you can see, UTC is not a proper, continuous time stream. It has breaks in it wherever leap seconds have been added

I can not see that. 23:59:58 - 23:59:59 - 23:59:60 - 00:00:00 is perfectly continuous, proper, and even monotonic, or at least as much as 23:59:58 - 23:59:59 - 00:00:00 is.

> When you receive a package with a computer-generated time stamp, it is showing this fudged UTC number, not the actual number of seconds according to the atomic stream.

I think you are mixing up UNIX timestamps (which are their own thing) and UTC. UTC and TAI both indicate exactly same thing, there is perfect 1:1 mapping between UTC timestamps and TAI timestamps (ignoring pre-1972 era).


I love this since all those apps stopped working years ago and remember someone had this as a hack to do it manually! but, is there anyway to have it updated? because you still have to go and upload your zip file time and time again right?


it would be great if you could link it to rejection letters from past years and show where they are now? those posts exist out there right?


That's crazy as people don't even drink that much there relative to the rest of the world. Alcohol is already highly taxed there, can imagine this increasing the prices more


I don't really hear from them anymore, I am guessing they have their hands full and can imagine the pressure they might be on? could be completely wrong


They tend to all become BDRs or Consultants from my circles. Academia-Research trauma is tough too


I wonder if some just realize that they don’t like STEM. Maybe they only studied it for family or social pressures, or they heard that engineers can get paid a lot.

Anecdotally, I feel like some of my classmates had no interest in engineering. They seemed to stick around for the money or the benefits or the clout. But if landing a job in the industry became more trouble than it’s worth, I don’t see why they wouldn’t turn elsewhere.


BDR?


SDR == sales development rep: inbound sales

BDR == business development rep: outbound sales


The jobs that AI will automate away?


Will AI take an oil company exec to a strip club?


Not yet.


> BDR

Business development...representative? Role?


Exactly.


woah, there was a Canadian company called Tiny Mile (who have better cuter looking robots) that do the same thing, the city banned them and then they moved to Miami and are having success apparently?

Looks like they also operate in NC like Starship, is it because of The Triangle? is the demand really that high there?

I'm not surprised that universities push for these robots as they will also benefit.

Curious if these robots can last through snow storms


Oh I saw a bunch of Tiny Mile bots a while ago in Brickell. I was trapped in traffic so seeing the cute little bots cheered me up.


As someone in the Triangle, no I've never seen one of these. The article mentions Charlotte specifically.


I wonder if there will be an expectation to tip the food delivery robots
