@ShopandShip Thanks for the clarification re: timeline !!

"As per our procedure, once a shipment is assigned to your account, the customs form must be uploaded within 24 hours" -

Given the quick timelines, whatsapp msg will help! So it can be uploaded on time, before deadline ! Thanks !

[Karthik K @callakkumar]

@ShopandShip Had ordered from a US store to the address in US. It was delivered.

And now, was asked to upload an invoice.
After uploading, "Upload Now" button is still enabled !! (No status change/email) !

Not sure, if it recorded !!

What should I do/ expect ?

[Karthik K @callakkumar]

@ShopandShip Eg: 1. upload customs form (within 5 days)
2. upload personal id / address proof etc !!

Too important to be missed !! That's why !!

[Karthik K @callakkumar]

@ShopandShip Thanks for the response !!

I do have an important feedback !!

At every stage of an update, if you can send a whatsapp update/notification to the registered number, it will be very useful !!

Almost bought this until encountering this gem -

".. being the only person on three consecutive teams who understood the legacy auth service, which I used as job security"

Well done !

[Phoenix𝕏 @Xaraphim]

After deep reflection, I’ve decided to step down from my role as Staff Engineer at @Microsoft

This was not an easy decision. Microsoft has been home to some of the smartest, most driven, and most patient engineers I’ve ever worked with.

I’ve had the privilege of contributing to large scale systems, , improving the incredible windows 11 operating system , achieving Senior Engineer by never being available when decisions were made

and being the only person on three consecutive teams who understood the legacy auth service, which I used as job security

But over the past few weeks, I’ve had to confront a difficult truth.

I can no longer code without Claude.

At first, I told myself it was just a productivity tool. Then it became part of my workflow. Then it became my workflow.

Eventually I realized I was no longer writing software…

I was describing software to an AI and then explaining its output to humans, which is either the future of engineering or an elaborate way to never learn anything.

When the license disappeared I typed async and just stared at it. I knew it meant something. I could feel it.

Please respect my privacy during this transition.

[Firefox for Web Developers @FirefoxWebDevs]

Firefox 147 just landed & it's pretty huge in terms of web features:

🎉 CSS anchor positioning
🎉 The navigation API
🎉 View transition types
🎉 Brotli support in Compression/DecompressionStream
🎉 CSS module imports

And more!

@cachedeposits Reading !

[Karthik K @callakkumar]

@marckohlbrugge Have you tried Eclipse ? Or Netbeans ?

[HSVSphere @HSVSphere]

Mullvad replaced wireguard-go with GotaTun, a replacement written in Rust, and their Android app crash rate dropped from 0.4% to 0.01%

It's also more efficient.

[Karthik K @callakkumar]

@brankopetric00 "created more jobs than they solved problems" .

"would ship faster" -

Hard agree !! :)

[Karthik K @callakkumar]

@aurelienb42 @AlternativeTo "Despite of what the "get-rich-quick" crowd would like you to believe not all the tech is just blockchains, servers and clouds. There are a lot of C++ based industries Rust has not even a foot in the door and it won't anytime soon." -

Good one , indeed !

[Karthik K @callakkumar]

@joseph_h_garvin Me assuming DaveP knows very well what he is getting into when he suggests c++, knowing the opinion of LinusT and the community.

Rust is here to stay ! As it has been accepted, more and more things will be rewritten to Rust as well !

[Karthik K @callakkumar]

@victor_bigfield pg, of course !

@girdley In 2005, eBay bought skype for $2.6B .

By 2009, ebay divested Skype to private equity, for much less.

Then, 2011 - MS (re)bought skype again !

eBay kind of recouped some of the losses, thanks to the second transaction, kind of !

[Karthik K @callakkumar]

@brk0v Indeed a good one !
