I'm looking at something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4Dc6QNWiIs and I feel like they are doing totally different things. Both harvest tomatoes, but these are totally different approaches.


Did you see tamatoes harvested that way ? They are suitable only for producing sauce.


It really doesn't get more sensible and sustainable than kids playing team sports and parents witnessing this part of their lives. The blame here is squarely on PEs like black bear nickel and dimming parents. How do you pull the plug on that? It's so gross.


Sure you're right, if that's their thing, having their kids perform the sport and watching them doing it then this is a good solution. The streaming makes it so they can even stay in the car and watch from there.


Don't sign up for it next year? Boycott and maybe spin up your own league.


You can't, the PE companies buy the hockey rinks


Pour a rink on someone's land. Play on basketball courts or blacktops instead of rinks. It's not the same, but walking to work surely wasn't the same as riding the bus. If you can't show them that you can live without them, they'll treat you like you're dependent on them.


that's insane. how many of you are there?


We were 5 people total - PO, Scrum Master, 3 devs. Been years since I was in that team but it was expected that everyone would give a lengthy update about the previous day


That's 12 minutes a person. How much time did it take 3 devs to say "I worked on 12343, I plan on working on 12354, no blockers"? I assume it was the PO/SM that drug it out?


Product managers shouldn't be rebranded as "solution managers." The title suggests they can handle solutions, but most lack the chops to solve real problems effectively.


I meant "Scrum Master".


That takes 2 seconds. But the PO usually expected a detailed breakdown of what went well or bad and what could be improved right then and there. Simply saying "Yeah, I'm doing X, still doing it, bye" would be bad, because you're also not inviting _collaboration_.


> _collaboration_

_micromanagement_


thank you, I was going to ask about this. It's not a crazy amount...


Do we know how that relates to actual operating cost? My understanding is that this is below cost price because we're still in the investor hype part of the cycle where they're trying to capture market share by pumping many millions into these companies and projects

Does this really reflect the resource cost of finding this vulnerability?


It sounds like a crazy amount to me. I can run code analyzers/sanitizers/fuzzers on every commit to my repo at virtually no cost. Would they have caught a problem like this? Maybe not, certainly not without some amount of false positives. Still this LLM approach costs many millions of times more than previous tooling, and might still have brought up nothing (we just don't read the blog posts about those attempts).


Seconded. My home server does many things, one of which is homeassistant.


Seems like they are featuring some speakers on their instagram https://www.instagram.com/sync_sv/?hl=en


I think WhatsApp is still using Erlang and they are biggest messaging app in the world. Discord is using Elixir but it's more niche. I think if you look at use cases where they excel, you will find them there.




They use both.


what's the alternative for something straightforward like that?


A raspberry pi with a 4g hat?

Overkill I suppose, in the past for similar stuff I've used a microcontroller with a GPRS modem, but since the 2g switch off I'm not sure it can be done that simply.


4g hats don't even work with many providers anymore since many US carriers are whitelisting only their allowed devices to send SMS on their networks.


There isn't one. This headache is legal, not Twilio


There is, it's called a USB 4G modem that plugs straight into whatever server you want.


Many carriers don't allow non-authorized devices like 4g modems to send SMS on their networks now. That's a recent change (last year).


So now you need a phone, maybe with USB Ethernet, and you write an app that exposes a REST API, and you call that?

Not a great solution, I guess, but ... zip-tie/hot-melt the hardware into a box with a fan and I guess it'd be mostly as reliable as a Raspberry Pi?

Is there a cheap Android phone with an external antenna socket still?


  Their security team should vet all of these devices, create environments where it's safe for them to be on the network, and ensure they're kept up to date also?
Yes? How else would they test anything?


The point is they shouldn’t need to test everything and someone self submitting an add on for review to be featured isn’t what triggers an additional device.


Does toilet training your cat introduce a significant health hazard through toxoplasma gondii into the surrounding environment? It's so hard to tell if your local wastewater plant takes care of this...


I could have sworn I read something to this effect, that this is ill advised because waste treatment plants aren’t really equipped to handle animal parasites


Yeah this is my understanding. Sewage treatment cannot destroy toxoplasmosis
