I'm something of a data hoarder. 20TB array of four disks. I tell everyone who is interested in this "hobby"; Synology. Their products are, bar none, the best in the industry. I'd estimate that their direct competition w

I agree. Its a weirdly divisive issue, but I think the market will continue to move this way. The issue that all centralized systems will inevitably face is the requirement to blanket apply overly restrictive policies in order to head off l

Our issue with Google stems in the sense that they have very hazy delineation between their consumer and enterprise products. This kind of behavior is acceptable in a personal product, and appears to be where this policy was applied in this

This is crossing a very bad line, and is absolutely unacceptable. My company of about 50 people on G-Suite will be canceling our subscription and moving to Office 365 within the next three months. We had discussed it in the past due to thei

Yes. If we were going to start from scratch today, we'd probably use Postgres. But, realistically, the primary motivation behind that decision would be because Postgres is available on AWS, and that would centralize more of our operati

I agree, and this scares me more than any one product dropping its support for assembly. Apple tries to earn credit for putting Swift Playgrounds on the iPad. Its a coding environment aimed at students, they're trying to help the pipel

I remember, in maybe 9th grade, after learning Newton's Method in a pre-calc course, writing a TI-83 program to do N iterations of Newton's Method for me. I showed it to my math teacher. He wasn't much of a nerd, and this was

Microsoft (and, similarly, Amazon) will beat them on price, this much is certain. Microsoft will beat nearly anything on price. They'll also win on integration points, and they'll win on it already being part of the package. But,

Of course it was a bug. It could only be a bug. Would they really admit if it was intentional? Would they admit that their internal testing around Firefox is not as robust as Chrome? "Oh, whoopsie, no one here uses Firefox so we didn

I'll second Netlify. Totally fantastic service; I've played with a lot of "github to deployed app" services, and I was still blown away with how straightforward it was to get a NextJS static site on there, auto-deploying

I imagine the OP meant through the DoorDash app? Recently, I've used the Dominos, Papa Johns, or Pizza Hut apps, which are, you know, fine enough, they get the job done, but critically: there's no surcharge beyond what you'd

More than one company can see tremendous success. This isn't a winner-takes-all scenario.

While it's harsh to say: People die every day. The CDC officially states that, on average, ~880 people per 100,000 die every year in the United States (in 2017). Extrapolating that to NYC, this means that the city can expect to loose a

That is crazy when APM is such a saturated market. Granted, there aren't a ton of GraphQL-focused APM tools that are automatically aware of field resolution times and such, but GraphQL makes it a cinch to support; if a company like D

I don't know about that. I suspect, generally speaking, per-user billing does not work for the vast majority of SaaS. It can really only work well in communication tools, where (1) most organizations receive a lot of value, (2) there&#

I can call out one example of a poorly executed price raise: Apollo Engine ( https://www.apollographql.com/pricing ) There was a time when they charged for data points/performance traces ingested into the system. At our

Their marketing site is amazingly beautiful. Their actual application sites are barely customized bootstrap templates. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Marketing websites should be flashy to draw people in. But, when the rubber hi

The Switch has a NES/SNES virtual console; its unlimited access to every game available, bundled with the Nintendo Online subscription which costs $3/month or $20/year. There's maybe 30 or so games available for each of

That really wasn't the vibe I was getting. There probably are legitimate technical issues with integrating Rust. That's fine; it happens. Maybe Rust will be better in the future (this was written in 2017, so maybe it already is).

Absolutely not. The most advanced headsets on the market require a tether. And, to make matters worse, outside-in lighthouse-style tracking. Valve Index, Vive Cosmos Elite, even the Rift S. The Quest is literally the only headset capable of

HL:A definitely does more with something resembling an adventure formula akin to the traditional HL games, versus most other VR titles. Per my original comment; I think I have to consider it as experimenting, and it's only partially su

I don't feel its a matter of people passing or not. Its a matter of how often they pass. People, in aggregate, will just eat out less. Whether this means restaurants will, at the end of the month, make more or less money, I don't

I will proselytize Beat Saber until the day I die. I have played hundreds of hours of video games in 2020, which reflects the time spent since I was 8 playing Donkey Kong on the Super Nintendo. After writing this, I'm probably going to

Anecdotally, the few vapers I have spoken to have, actually, substantially increased their consumption. At home all day, nothing to do, vaping is something you can pair with anything else. This has been corroborated with casual conversation

And the fraudulent sellers would also love to have this information, so they can precisely step around every piece of logic Amazon's systems are enforcing.

Excellent to hear. This was not obvious from the blog post, and I should have done more digging before jumping to conclusions.

Is rust-analyzer's relative modernity a symptom of intrinsic limitations behind Language Server, or tactical limitations of RLS? I was very hopeful about the bright future of language server, and its ability to solve that N^2'd pr

This feels likely. But, I really dislike how Google often gets a free pass (from the tech community) on these things, and frankly, I prefer the sensationalized reality over our more accurate one because it rightfully puts pressure on them t
