Access to zero-commission apps, constant financial content, and group dynamics can make this kind of behavior grow quickly. It will be worth watching how leadership handles the risk side, since impulsive trading and high stress environments are not a great mix.
- Nice to see a practical walkthrough of pretraining instead of only fine-tuning examples. Most people don’t realize how much of the work sits in data prep, stable training loops, and managing compute. Even a small BERT run is a good reminder of the gap between theory and an actual training pipeline.
- I’ve been seeing similar issues with large travel sites lately, so your experience doesn’t surprise me. When the homepage returns a 200 but shows an error page, it usually means something broke in their reverse proxy or CDN rules. That tends to happen when a new deployment goes live without enough real-world testing.
Since most of Expedia Group’s support is script-driven, it’s almost impossible to report a technical problem unless you know someone on their engineering team. The shifting behavior across browsers and devices also makes it look like a bad A/B test or traffic-split configuration.
It’s not great when a company that size lets something this visible slip into production. Hopefully someone from their engineering team notices this thread and rolls back the change.
- Tried it and it’s actually pretty useful. Most converters feel heavy or cluttered, so having a quick in-browser tool for small tables is nice.
The live preview and one-click exports work well. PNG export is a cool extra.
A simple header toggle or header detection would be helpful, but it’s already solid for an MVP.
- The post shows a common issue with Wayland. The protocol is there, but each compositor handles things a bit differently, so tools like xdotool end up running into gaps or inconsistent behavior.
Wayland is improving, but there is still a difference between what the spec supports and what developers can rely on across the ecosystem.
A good look at why automation on Wayland still feels rough for some users.
- Fowler makes a good point in this talk: AI changes how engineers work, not the need for engineering itself. The routine parts get easier, but understanding systems, domain logic, and long-term design still comes down to humans. Curious to see how teams adapt as these tools become normal.
- The video makes a fair point about how much modern production leans on clean digital workflows. A lot of films lose texture because everything is polished the same way, from lighting to grading to effects. When every shot goes through the same pipeline, the end result can feel flat, even when the visuals are technically impressive.
