Team plan is subscription https://support.claude.com/en/articles/9266767-what-is-the-t...

Similar to Pro plan for business, only available up to 150 employees I believe

There are subscription plans for business, at least where I am.

My understanding is that it's only available under 150 employees.

Can't speak for anyone else but there was a step change in frontier models last November. Opus 4.5 and GPT 5.2 I think.

When I colloquially say Opus level I really mean Opus 4.5 or later

But of course, wholesale surveillance on the rest of the world is fine.

I guess our democracies don't count and we don't have any rights.

Source?

Basically coding in SQL, very cool.

Maybe they do perform canary deployments and Australia was the canary?

Certainly feels like it's disproportionately affecting us down under.

I don't understand why this outage and the Azure outage earlier don't make it to the front page.

I'm getting more up to date technical details from the regular media.

This outage looks to be huge.

Surprised this isn't on the front page, The whole region is down.

* Azure Devops is down globally * Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) is down globally * Multi-Factor Authentication is down globally

This game is a reply to last weeks thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36453856 with a different perspective.

The scale on those graphs is wildly different.

Office have 120 down reports per period. Reddit has 40,000.

This week I re-created my passion project from 9 years ago.

I've done very little Android development since then so it gave me a good opportunity to reflect on what's changed.

Seems like a win / win to me. An investor like Linus would bring a lot to the table.

For other JS developers the stuff about await isn't relevant. It's not the same as a JS async/await

In JS an await is just syntactic sugar around a then() on a promise. The Await in the article is a method to block the thread until a promise resolves, there is no equivalent in JS.

.NET has a similar mechanism with Task.Result with similar pitfalls

I've recently been doing some hobby coding on a Commodore 128 and I'm getting the hang of editing basic programs without being able to edit inline very well.

I use the list command to dump out sections of the program until I find where I want to edit and then add / edit lines whilst I can still see the listing at the top of the screen.

Good reasoning in the article. Acknowledges that refusing them service won't take the site offline but makes a good argument for doing so.

"They are no longer Cloudflare's problem, but they remain the Internet's problem."

These sites are breeding grounds for extremism, more and more I feel this free for all on the internet probably hasn't been a net positive.

Put another way if you spend 20k hiring and you get a 9/10 male developer you could spend $30k increase the size of the funnel and get a diverse hire of the same quality.

You just need to increase the size of the funnel. If you were going to interview 100 people, interview 150.

It's not about lowering the bar it's about making the extra investment to achieve diversity. It's worth it.

Interested to know why the gender of the manager matters?

Perhaps an unpopular opinion around here but I see nothing but positives in this announcement.

This move towards a "good" Microsoft has been going on for a decade, ASP.NET MVC was released as Open Source in 2009. Seeing where they're going with .NET core, VSCode and TypeScript makes me pretty confident they will be good stewards of the site.

Microsoft had their own open source hosting solution Codeplex but closed it and migrated all their stuff to GitHub so they could be where the community was. That was a bold move and I think demonstrates how they see the community now. This isn't the Microsoft of the 90's.

GitHub is great but it's not profitable and I'm sure there are lots of improvements they could make with a bit of a cash injection.

On the flip side if Microsoft stuff it up or there is an exodus from Microsoft because people hate Microsoft, that's not such a bad thing either.

There are great alternatives out there, it's not the same landscape as when GitHub launched, everyone's learnt from GitHub, GitHub's biggest feature is the network effect. Everyone has an account and it's super low friction to contribute there. If we can break that a bit and everyone has an account at 2 or 3 places I think we might see some great innovation as competitors try to differentiate themselves.

Finally on that point. Bitbucket is awesome, you can build apps that are integrated directly into the UI https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/

Follow up, that same RELEASE mode .NET hello world app shows 153MB in the VMMAP tool used in the blog post, so i's not entirely because of the configuration.

I think the issue is that the tool is showing you what is mapped into the address space of the process which may not use any memory. It could be mapped files or copy on write pages etc.

A hello world .NET application on my machine uses 9KB of memory.

8.2KB is shared, 1.4KB is private.

According to the article most of that memory is because it's a DEBUG build and the debug CLR images are large.

More than 7 million domains... Letting that sink in...

I'm assuming this list is based on DNS records? I wonder what proportion of those offloaded their SSL to Cloudflare.
