Wartime means taxes from citizens. Private companies offer to help the government for said taxes to help fuel the war machine

But and instead of && means beginner friendly

What?

According to the article, the revenue is down 40%…But the costs are also way down? So this title is totally misleading, and a bunch of Lemmies are out here celebrating because they didn’t put 2 and 2 together.

Both can be true?

Sure, but if it happened I’d see a screenshot of the job posting, not someone who tweeted about totally seeing it

I mean if you’re using something like Firebase on Android, the network calls get bundled with Google Play Services and you have no idea what that’s sending up

At my first job after university, we did releases every Friday evening. From 3-5pm, all you would see in the Slack channel was a flurry of everyone committing straight to master (with a bunch of merge conflict commits between). Oh and then we’d release. Fun times.

Before the Reddit exodus, I don’t remember many active servers besides Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad (there was Lemm.ee and Lemmy.ca but they both had like 3 posts a week). Hexbear wasn’t federated, and servers were mostly being desperately spun up in anticipation for a flood of users who would crash the network.

They are probably doing it to limit AI LLM bots from hoovering up the code they’ve already hoovered up.

Why is this a bad thing, when M$ is already training on it themselves? If your code is permissively licensed, it seems logical or even desired to be scraped for LLMs

Perhaps your dream of self hosting is dead
