@ss2342 @nzkarit @darrenpauli @_managemyhealth @raygunio I also sent back a written refusal to the "invitation". I'm not under any particular illusions my data won't be in there anyway though.

@EvasionLV6 @kelseyhightower To clarify, a single piece of code might only need to be touched every few years. However, if it's in an oddball tool or language, the business needs to retain staff, or at least know contractors who can do that tiny piece of work.

[Tim Goddard @pruby]

@EvasionLV6 @kelseyhightower Because there's no such thing as maintenance-free code, the costs of having multiple tools add up *fast* compared to the benefits. Every tool/language/framework added to a business incurs the cost of capacity to maintain that for its lifetime, potentially decades.

@ben____knight @lokifer I already threw out most of them. After all, running out is impossible!

@moirathemaori @Metlstorm @NZStuff It is a business decision to use this ad marketplace. They could choose to run moderated ads if they wanted (in fact, they used to for NZ viewers).

@pepperraccoon @parsley72 Andres was my hairdresser for, I think, 12 years. Now been longer than that since he switched careers. Can also endorse food, though maybe not at max heat!

[Tim Goddard @pruby]

@liamosaur Yeah, I think that's benefits the company gained from misuse, deliberately rather than under attack. Sell your data illegally, get fined triple what you sold it for.

@lokifer I've been put off donating to Orange Sky before, after noticing large-scale remittance of funds from the NZ organisation to AU parent for management fees. I'm sure that covers some useful services, but was $121k in 2021, from $341k donations and $65k other income.

@lokifer Original is one of very few games where I went and bought the album!

This is not to criticise anyone whose work product is not easily scalable, or say the current state of affairs is "right". The point is that when people talk about things like NFTs being valuable because they're scarce, you should be sceptical. That's not how it works.

[Tim Goddard @pruby]

Scarcity is not value, scalability is value. We pay CEOs well because their decisions affect thousands. Tech salaries are high because copying software is free (as in beer). If you're deliberately making your work product scarce, you're deliberately reducing your value.

@alexjc I've only used each very briefly, but remember PyArrow being extremely painful to use, whereas h5py was an easy and natural step from pandas. YMMV

[Tim Goddard @pruby]

@BR3NDA Thanks to finally getting infected last week, stayed home. We're fine, allowed to leave isolation tomorrow.

[Tim Goddard @pruby]

@JeromeChandra Weird take. Products from nature have always required careful selection.

[Tim Goddard @pruby]

@nudelbrot @_mwsw_ @wvcaspel As much as I'm sceptical of some industry claims, the opposing claim that it's dangerous for thousands of years is nonsense. Radiation is proportionate to decay rate (inverse of half life). We need to worry about isotopes that decay in days to months, not centuries.

[Tim Goddard @pruby]

@tveastman Whereas in NZ we just say the names reallyquickly and mangle all the vowel sounds?
