I call this "Google Imposter Syndrome". Because Google (insert Facebook, Apple, Amazon, etc) has success with Monorepos (insert gRPC, Go, Kubernetes, React/Native, etc), it must be a great idea, we should do it. You see this

Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe they haven't rolled out all the new features yet, but this product looks identical to the GCloud Container Builder that's been on GCP for at least a year. Its even got all the old contain

I don't think you can blame Juul for your own mistakes and behavior. But Juuls are seriously bad, and this is coming from an ecig/vape user. I cannot emphasize enough that people need to stay away from Juul. The sheer nicotine the

To be fair: The patent (around Nic Salts) is specifically useful for the delivery of nic in low output devices. Imagine it like this: You've got 12 mg/ml in a high output device which can vaporize 90% of the nicotine, versus 50 mg

If anyone wants a summary of the situation at launch, this YouTube video ranks among the "all time classic" videos ever made; its an absolutely depressing, satirical, hilarious view into the situation [1] [1] https://ww

I mean, this is a limitation of Go. With JS, the "runtime" is in your browser, you've got a beautiful JS engine already. With Go, it would need that runtime bundled. Similar to shipping the JVM with your JAR. This isn't

The three biggest frameworks are definitely Apollo (JS), Graphene (Python), and Absinthe (Elixir). The common thread between those is that they're all languages with weak type systems, which is a theme in GraphQL land. Strongly typed l

They are. The fact that HN doesn't follow it just speaks to the anti-Microsoft bias here. They've had the OneCore project back in 2015-2016 to unify the kernel and core OS pieces, which was a success and is now powering every Wind

It makes many things easier and many things harder. The lack of really good backend libraries/frameworks outside of NodeJS is the most concerning thing. Also; debugging and monitoring GraphQL APIs sucks . Considerations: - Any subfiel

Generally speaking, I don't like MongoDB. Though it has little to do with the database itself: its more so a combination of the limited use-cases of NoSQL and the lack of managed hosting options directly on AWS or GCP (Azure can kind o

I think that's fighting human nature. One of the things that separates us from other creatures is our constant desire to fight entropy. Sentient life itself is the ultimate reversal of entropy; while the universe becomes more complex a

Frankly, its somewhat hilarious to hear all this coming from Cerf, who works for the worst offenders of data centralization of all time. Think of the data that gets lost on Drive every day due to their product decision around the SaaS model

I think the rest of what they said matters, though. Its not "preservable by default". If you need access to that data in any situation where your connectivity to Google or that account is severed, you're shit out of luck. The

I vastly prefer smaller companies due to the outsized impact each employee can have on the success of the entire organization, and the ability to wear different hats. Barring that, I prefer a Google/Microsoft/etc big 5 company. I

Most Windows PCs which ship with precision drivers and an oversized glass trackpad feel 90% as good as the MacBooks. The Surface line and the new Razer Blade 15 are two examples. The precision drivers are key. Many manufacturers still haven

Apple really only has two major issues with the MBP right now: thermals and the update cycle. Its absolutely unacceptable that we have to wait a full year after Intel's mobile chip releases before we see them trickle to the MBP. I unde

My favorite thing I noticed recently; if you buy a book on the Microsoft Store and open it in a web browser, the url is hosted on zune.net. What year is this?!

"I've always found that the harder I work the more luck I seem to have." Market acceptance controls whether a company might fail. It doesn't control whether a company might succeed.

That's roughly true. And there's a good reason behind it: Its very difficult to tell when someone will be a good CEO. Hell, its really difficult to tell when anyone will be actually great at the job they're being hired for.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. A thousand times Yes. At least in a healthy company. What exactly do you think separates companies like Oracle and Microsoft? Oracle has hundreds of very talented engineers. But their position in the market is

Can you expand on that? Do you mean if you're running your own Buildkite agents, there's a manual gc process devops should be aware of?

Been waiting for this for... 7 months now since its announcement at ReInvent? My initial impressions are very negative. What even is the point of this? The clusters themselves do nothing, they're just a control plane you pay $144&#x2

The C300 in that example is not a C63s. Its a C300 completely optioned out. Same model. Same engine. Most of the cost comes in exterior options (which are often borrowed from the AMG models), interior comfort (ultra quality leather seats)

There are many. It comes down to what you define as an option, but if we use Tesla's definition as "the same model": - Camaro. Base: $27k. Fully loaded: Above $70k. Of course, this is mainly because it goes from a 2.0L turbo

It seems like a clear signal that Apple is preparing to develop its own GPUs. They're already doing this on the iPhones.

Wasn't the original case here something along the lines of refusing to bake a cake with homosexual imagery on it, not necessarily because the customers were a homosexual couple? The OP's point should be revised: It's the bake

I would put money on it if the merger goes through. There's very little reason for both to exist, and VSCode is absolutely a superior project. Atom has its advantages, but most of them could easily be manifested by collaborating with t

This is a completely smart purchase on Microsoft's part. I can't imagine more synergy between two companies: - Microsoft has always been the largest developer advocate of any of the major tech players (Google has been a great cont
