> I think the key with vaping (not necessarily with Juul though due to market availability) is that it's very easy to decrease the dosage of nicotine without reducing the fixation amount. There's some truth to this. I used to b

We never really "switched" to Buildkite; its what we started with, and its been great for us. But I'm always experimenting with other options, which has recently included GHA and Circle. Buildkite has pros and cons, like any

I tested our most complex pipeline on Github Actions (the newer version of the beta, which had the YAML specification, though I tried both). Our most complex pipeline, though universally likely not very complex; maybe 8 distinct linters, un

Linux powers most of the web servers on the internet. The Linux Foundation is not worth billions of dollars. All of those servers run on Intel chips. Maybe some AMD. Even combined, companies like Google and Amazon, who would be nothing with

There's a ton at play here. "Managed Kubernetes" really runs the spectrum between "one step above just installing it yourself on a bunch of VMs" and "I spend 1% of my time managing anything below the product.&q

I think if every company wrote a "plain english terms of service" in the same vein of brutal honesty as this one, most of them would come off as pretty unprofessional. > "We will terminate your account for any reason at al

Does anyone remember that time at Re:Invent 2017 when they announced Fargate, and said that Fargate was coming to EKS "soon"? Let's put odds on which is released first: Fargate for EKS, or Half Life 3.

Yeah, their initial explanation is that its the "safety features", but I was under the impression that literally everything related to rust's safety happens at compile time. Their big selling point is the "zero cost abst

A typical VC fund's portfolio has a lifespan of 8-12 years. This is the amount of time the venture principals have told their investors that, after which, they'll start realizing the value of the portfolio. Funds typically have mu

I'm not convinced that its so different, at least from a "we should be concerned about it" angle. Yes, retail stores have inventory that they, generally, have to purchase and hold before the sale. This is a natural limitation

Whole Foods stacks their stores with their 365 brand products. In some cases, competitors to certain products aren't even sold. Of course, there are other grocery stores you can shop at. Just like how there are other mobile platforms y

Frankly, it does feel like they publish more heavily on non-Google products. Which isn't to say that they don't publish many articles on Android and Chrome and other core Google things, but just look down that list and you'll

There's this prevalent false position that Kubernetes is successful because of Google. Yeah, Kubernetes initially learned a ton because of Borg and Google's deep investment into containers dating back a very long time. But, arguab

There's a very easy to understand use-case in storing data where you don't really care about the type or querying capacity. Imagine you've got an API request coming in; your server generates the response, and then you cache t

A few thoughts: (1) Most open source projects do not provide the outsized value impact that their creators seem to think they do. Most projects exist around the realm of "its 20% easier to install this than build it ourselves, so lets

Those "odd comparisons" are the exact thing that make companies like Peloton successful. Another word for that is "disruption"; when you're comparing two markets that don't make sense to compare, and yet here

They became successful in the bull market. Markets and debt cycles don't act like sine waves. They build up to a peak, and then they fall dramatically, then they build up again, and they fall.

The testimonials they already have on there are from Sendgrid, Twillio, Mixpanel, Asana; all of these companies are "transparent" in their up-front pricing, but you can sure as hell call them up and get a discount, and that's

Their billing is HORRIBLE. Its actually a big reason why we are investigating moving off. Its insanely unclear. I get that their product domain is complex, and thus its hard to bill for, but... its things like, if you're container-focu

I like to look at it this way: bad ideas, or bad executions of good ideas, or bad fits for VC, that somehow get funding and die before going public, or even better, get purchased by some bloated old company with too much money; the end resu

AWS couldn't build a Heroku-like PaaS if their entire business depended on it. They're organizationally incapable of something so simple, beautiful, and productive. I legitimately believe there's a checklist at the bottom of

I've always wondered in situations like this: Is this a fine uber will actually pay? Does the US have any treaties with Colombia which put teeth in this fine inside US jurisdiction? Or would they pay it simply out of a desire to, possi

I think its seriously such a hard problem to solve in tech. Its so easy and beneficial even for customers if one company does everything. Github can (and does!) offer the most open, accessible, and integrated APIs possible for CI/CD to

I really think there's more to this than most people will admit. Our very early, small startup (4 engineers, low six figures ARR) accumulates $4,000+/month in cloud bills. Its very difficult to manage cloud costs on a small engi

The proposed syntax feels like a caricature to me. That something like this could be easily possible: func (c Connection) Read(type T Writeable)(into *T) (int, error) { This is quite securely inside shark-jumping territory. Also; I

That's a fair point, but it harkens back to the argument we see a lot for generics; "we'd have to repeat that 5 times for int8, int16, int32, int64, and just int, not to mention floats!". I think there's a problem o

The funny thing is; your code has a syntax error (two, actually). Its dumb to nitpick, but its symbolic of the problem; even if you're so sure that you have no mistakes, that what you've written is well designed and will work well

This proposal is so hilariously complex relative to everything else in Go, I have to wonder if the Go team has already decided that they aren't adding Generics; they release a galaxy brain generics proposal which even the strongest pro
