> If you visit a link right now, it will be kept.

No, only those that were deemed "active" in 2024 will be kept.


It's still being abused by people registering expired domains.


Exactly, there is no guarantee that what a shortened url pointed to 10 years ago is the same as today, or even the same owner or administrator.


OK but the same vulnerability exists if short URLs weren't used -- in that case the link source would link directly to the now-hijacked domain. So why does Google have to care about this?

Is it because they're worried that the domain name goo.gl in the link implies a Google endorsement? Seems like they should have thought of that before launching the service in the first place?

Still, the frequency of actual abuse must be low and going down over time (due to the data set being read-only since 2019 and actual traffic to these links surely decreasing as time goes on)...


The lack of concurrent access support in the official HDF5 library (the only implementation with full format support) can be a major drawback. There is ongoing work on that front [1] though it's unclear when it will land.

It's not a real name.


What about X Æ A-12?



> estimate in points (relative size to something you've already done), emphasis on consistent estimates for each dev.

> capture total velocity every 2 weeks and eventually use the avg for future planning

This aspect of scrum has never made sense to me. Planning with average velocity turns points into an obfuscated time estimate - why use points at all?


It's a psychological trick to counter our bias toward scheduling optimism.


> Research shows that 95% of the permissions granted to users aren't used which creates huge problems and is a reason for spending millions in security tools.

It'd potentially cost millions more to recover from a GPT-4 disaster.

>Stadia will exist by the end of the summer. You don’t have to believe me. Like I said feel free to come back to this thread in October.

Summer ended a week ago! They were right!


It's not October yet though. I look forward to returning to that thread in a few days.
