GDocs is definitely a full office suite replacement. It could capture the same use case of Paper, but it tends to be too heavy and focuses too much on formatting. Quip is a definite competitor. It tends to do better for knowledge base style

They've clearly spent a significant amount of product development on building out their enterprise functionality. The functionality there is pretty powerful. Dropbox has a lot going for it. While the concept of a "file" is co

I wonder if Dropbox has the capability of entering the PIM space like G-Suite. I get the feeling that there's room for another custom domain email provider beyond the monoculture of Gmail. They had Mailbox at one point. Email is defini

Especially for object storage. The scale where deploying your own object storage network gets cheaper than S3 is surprisingly small. Even handling your own equivalent of "intra-zonal redundancy" is easy. The main concerns arise in

Does GCP GCS really autodedup? I haven't seen anything in their documentation that suggests they do, and generally deduplication is known to have unavoidable performance characteristics, especially if you're in a very distributed

Serverless is the future. But I doubt FaaS is. FaaS has a place, especially around latency-insensitive or bursty event handlers. But to suggest that it will replace any traditional server is pretty farfetched.

Personally, neither. I strongly believe that the only autonomous tech a general purpose, manned car should ever have is assistive and emergency systems, not replicative systems. Meaning, collision breaking, lane-keep assist, road-departure

In our exceedingly rural area, doors are left unlocked very often. Not everyone, of course, and not all the time (most of the people I know do lock their doors at night or when they're on vacation, but otherwise leave them open). You&#

Their decision to limit the initial problem domain is genius. When it comes to autonomous driving, safety is paramount. Limiting it to highways is a good way to ensure that you can maximize the system's safety and performance, while st

This is a well reasoned proposal. I've got a couple qualms. Let's say you care about strict build reproducibility. You want some form of manifest + lock file that defines exactly what versions of dependencies your package expects.

Really, Price is the only thing you can compare. If you want complete luxury: S-Class, A7/A8, or 7-Series are going to be decidedly better in every way, at a similar price bracket. To be honest, Tesla doesn't even compete in thi

There's also a good writeup from Asciinema [1] with a similar theme. These are valuable articles from people who have clear domain knowledge in their problem area, which accurately discuss the pros and cons of both approaches. There&#x

Every day someone publishes their snowflake opinion on why Go is terrible. Every day, hundreds of highly productive engineering teams write millions of lines of Go, powering web services and developer tools you use on a daily basis. So I&#x

If all they really cared about were the environment, they wouldn't even make electronics at all. They're horribly polluting. Fortunately, its not all they care about. Its possible to have multiple priorities, you know.

No. It makes as much sense as securing the 4 doors because that's a relatively cost efficient way to implement basic security. But let's avoid strengthening all the walls with a titanium alloy to protect us when the threat brings

What doesn't add up is that, in the real world, you can't protect against every threat model. Its their job to protect the best they can. They can't tell Apple to stop building their phones in China, but they can simply say &

There's a good argument that GraphQL can become the single SDL you use to define the API of many services written in many different languages. In this sense, it makes sense to write GraphQL and generate the language constructs; kind of

by 013a 9y ago
I'd imagine any decent library would provide an escape hatch around the codegen, so you can specify your own types if you'd like. The other option is to only write the Go types, then use codegen to generate the GraphQL schemas. In

by 013a 9y ago
I feel that, in typed languages, the only GraphQL oriented code you should be writing is the schemas and the resolvers. Manually implementing the models in your language's type system seems unnecessary and is a recipe for mistakes and

Same. I've personally ran into amazon delivery people lost in our apartment complex, badged them into the building, and walked them to where they should drop off packages. I'd feel like it was a one time thing, but it seems like e

c4.8xlarges are the smallest c4 instance that guarantees 10G networking performance. Those costs can easily be cut in half with reservations. Its likely there's a lower-bound of the number of reserved instances they use as a baseline p

I'd say, at that point, it becomes a security issue. They'd probably agree. Just because it isn't categorized as a security issue doesn't mean their engineers aren't looking for solutions, even if they're publi

I wonder if per-core performance is impacted if every core is being blasted. I imagine most benchmarks do single-core runs by running one process of work, and do multi-core runs by maxing out the cores and then totaling the performance. Do

I wonder if there was ever a discussion that definite assignment assertions should have a strict mode flag to disallow. They seem like something that can be abused to escape the static type system.

They definitely price below cost right now, given their financial performance. But they're raising prices literally right now; they're working on averaging up the amount customers pay without shocking customers to better reflect t

The cost of media services isn't mostly infrastructure; its licensing. When you play a song, they have to pay a certain amount to the rights holders. So they need to figure out the average listening habits across all their listeners th

I really don't think its that simple. There's a pricing problem with SaaS products like Tinder which suggests that more people will pay if it is cheaper. And with Tinder Plus, they offer literally nothing different that would cost
