NiemanLab: We analyzed 6,400 New York Times stories to find out how comments change when you give readers more information. “Data journalists have sometimes wondered whether loading a story with data can be overwhelming rather than clarifying. We found that giving readers more information changes who comments, and how.”

Tubefilter: So, theoretically, how much does it cost to buy fake views, followers, comments, likes, and shares right now?. “Overall, it found that paying for fakes ‘remains very affordable’ for the average Joe. The most affordable fake? Views, which average $1.40 per 1,000 on TikTok up to $6.70 per 1,000 on YouTube. At the other end of the expense spectrum are comments, which are by far the […]

Why not X, and why Threads waits
Post read: $0.005 per resource. Post creation: $0.015 per request — $0.200 when it carries a URL. Free public read access: none. Two networks are in. Two are not — and here's the whole reasoning, because "we decided against it" is not a reason.…

So, here the fuck I am , back at it again in an #AWS environment and my #devops challenge today is: Instance Scheduler because our dev teams stand up resource shit and then forget about it, and the cost variable goes up to more than 200k a year in total fucking waste.
Has anyone seen this? if you have how did you deal with it? Because right now, Instance scheduler, #Karpenter, and #ASG are the only real way I see to deal with this bullshit.

For those who don't know, I'm a #software engineer by trade. I've worked in lots of environments, from being a one-person consulting shop, part of a tiny development team at a small business, through contracted R&D to staff at huge corporations and working for governments.
One of the most frustrating experiences I ever had was in a job at a fair-sized tech company. I was brought in to bring some experience and subject matter expertise to a very junior team. I don't have a problem with juniors; in general they're very enthusiastic and energetic, and it's contagious.
But this particular team had a couple of people with a ... very strange ... preference. I have long had the habit of adding helpful comments in code - anywhere I think it may help someone understand what a piece of code is doing and why it does it that way, or how other approaches failed until this one was chosen, or marking sharp edges to watch out for. These types of comments are invaluable to someone trying to debug code they don't know well (which can be yourself in six months).
And in code #reviews, these two co-workers seemed to be offended by the very presence of comments. They would argue for deleting them outright claiming "but this is obvious" - and I'd explain "This is obvious now, because you just learned it. It won't be obvious next year".
I eventually gave up arguing; it just wasn't worth it. I'd delete #comments every time they complained.
I suspect that #codebase got difficult after I left.

Article says that the bad things didn't materialize
and the dollar didn't get hit
even with the #IranWarSo think of gold at $4K (not $5.3 anymore) as the result of a "dollar relief rally"
[FORBES allows 3 free articles then paywall]
"Gold Is the Constant: What's the Signal in Its Decline?"

Coyote has a new essay out about comment culture. Worth a read if you think fandom is quieter now, that people don't comment as often as they used to and why that might be.

Cobb Courier: We’re turning off comments under the articles on our main site once again … here’s why. “A few years ago we turned off comments under the articles here, then later changed our mind and turned them on again. Now we’re going through that loop again, but providing readers with a better option for expressing their views.”

James Dale lost his Supreme Court case against the Boy Scouts twenty-six years ago. This week he wrote to Becky Pepper-Jackson, the 16-year-old who just lost hers on trans athletes.
His message: the Scouts changed anyway not because a court ordered it, but because people refused to disappear. He met her three weeks before the ruling and told her he was proud.

House Republicans want a ban on six stripes of colored cloth written into federal law. Actual staff hours. An actual bill. On the pressing national crisis of a rainbow
They pulled the flag off the National Stonewall Monument — the one federally managed site that honors queer history — and couldn't leave even that alone
The color was never in the asphalt. What are they so afraid?

The same day, he pledged fresh strikes on Iran — and specified the targets would include civilian infrastructure. The water. The power. The places people who never chose this fight go to stay alive. A man too precious to fly on his own shit-gift-plane, promising to turn off the lights on people who don't get a vote. Fuck Him.

They kept the window shades down the whole flight. The transponder stayed dark until the plane was already over the Black Sea. A nine-figure gift, flown like contraband. And when he leaves office, the jet transfers to his presidential library. The republic rents it. The man keeps it.

CW: politics, Trump, war
His own Secret Service looked at the $400 million jet Qatar gifted him and said: not that one, sir. Fly the old plane.
A bribe with wings — and it still can't do the one job a president's plane exists to do, which is get him home alive when the missiles are theoretically inbound.

Tha an teas a' cruinneachadh — the heat is gathering
Deep July, the pitch of it. The week the corn around Kansas City grows an inch a night you could almost hear if the world went quiet. The heat dome overhead is not weather so much as a lid
The Mother is doing exactly what the changed air tells her to. What is your body already doing that your mind hasn't caught up to yet?
