Turns out cycling in the rain has more in common with the consequences of poor planning than you might think.

@craigkerstiens At sufficient scale (where an army of experts is non-viable,) the magic might be in building an AI that “knows when to tap out,” and using the money saved on frontline support to invest in higher quality T2 support behind an AI T1.

[Dan Cowell @dfcowell]

@craigkerstiens Depends on the person. The caliber of person we’ve had support from at Crunchy? Person all day. Frontline support at a bunch of BigCos that will go nameless for now? AI might actually be better. At least AI won’t ask me questions I answered in the original ticket.

This weekend I’m telling the story of my first embarrassing mistake as a programmer: https://t.co/0MhBmxmifL

@fearmyjargon Cheers! Took that photo a couple of years ago. It’s a composite of 21 photos. Walking down the road in the darkness was rough. Animals are surprisingly loud in the night! This shot on the way to Imabari afterwards was pretty cool too.

Software engineering friends, it's time to come clean: https://t.co/4EuRkXhliM

@cybergibbons Well. Clearly I should spend more time on the web UI. 😬

@cybergibbons What’s this screenshot from? I use Strava but always on the lookout for alternatives.

[Dan Cowell @dfcowell]

@_TomHoward But what about lemmy, which is this but without the tokens?

@andy8052 @Travis_Jamison @Bitwarden Dashlane’s auto fill is just ridiculously good. It’s clear the product team has sunk stupid amounts of time into making it great.

Doesn’t handle subdomains well.

It handles password generator history well too, I’ve never “lost” a newly set password with Dashlane.

@andrew17876 I think they optimize for different things. Google is more about unstructured exploration (more opportunities to promote alternative destinations, aka paid promotion, aka ad revenue,) while Apple is more focused on providing utility to the user by getting you from A to B.

@JenMsft @mark_dowling @cmkrnl Replying here to circle back when I'm on my W11 PC. This is also a bugbear of mine.

@AbroadInJapan Hiring a car and pissing off into middle of nowhere onsen town, Wakayama seems to be working well so far.

@skamille No tab left behind!

So, (@dfcowell and) I got caught up in a bit of paranormal activity at the St. Regis hotel in Osaka last night���

I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say that the REAL culprits here are the @EscapeOsaka team. 😅🙋‍♀️

@cybergibbons Cars have crumple zones, immovable rock walls don’t. Two cars, twice as much crumple to dissipate the energy of the impact.

@RealSexyCyborg The most obscene thing in that video was how your claw machine actually gripped the damn toy, lifted it up and delivered it to the prize hole. Arcade pornography right there.

[Dan Cowell @dfcowell]

@_TomHoward Knowingly unhealthy right here, though I’m now down to this one vice, so that’s progress I guess.

@patio11 @cperciva Knowing how to hold it is at least four nines of buraucracy.
