I think its interesting how takes like this are always stated so matter-of-factly. Growing up, inevitable maturation, leads to the discovery of individualism and the desire for something more than being a cog in a machine. I believe, stron

I am in the same boat, though I don't think its the catalogue for me. All the major services have practically the same catalogue. Its their recommendations and playlists. No one else is remotely close; the UI is absolutely dense with

Bumble is really similar and disgusting. By default, notifications are enabled for both messages (which are a pretty good thing to have notifications turned on for) and once or twice a day Peak Cringe marketing push notifications. They have

This seems like a needlessly aggressive and poor take. Its a cool bug that they discovered; but going into "Apple's audio engineering team is, at least on some level, incompetent (or incompetently run; I'm not blaming the emp

Traditionally at Cloudflare, Birthday Week is the "release new products" week; they're not writing announcements for products that they've already shipped, but rather Birthday Week is the deadline every year for a ton of

See, but this brings up an interesting point: What is JavaScript? The answer may surprise you: its the common parlance we very reasonably use to refer to the programming language where we can do things like `"\t" == 0" and ge

Since you're going to be pedantic, I will be too. Language is more than syntax. Language is the combination of Syntax and Meaning; its a system of communication. The word "Fooloofol" is syntactically correct English, but mean

Passing a path to the local filesystem for the SQLite database only applies to local development; it does not speak to how to connect to e.g. a remote-hosted FoundationDB cluster. But, I think this section hints at how it could be done [1].

They actually have zero documentation I can find for using DenoKV outside of the Deno Deploy environment. It may be possible, or you can always use Deno without using DenoKV, but I think the statement "you have to use their hosted serv

'.deno' files are not drop-in compatible with any other typescript-esque runtime, which I think is a reasonable enough bar to say that its a different programming language. And not just because of the standard library; Deno suppor

Look at Enshitification through the lens that its basically just Inflation localized to a single company. When companies are poorly managed, they die. Except: now enters awesomely sophisticated Financial Engineering, enabling companies to m

One could argue that Microsoft's "no game sharing" decision at the beginning of Xbox One, right off the heals of a generation that experienced both high success, but also extremely high costs (RROD recalls, estimates say it c

Yeah, one example is Cloudflare and 1.1.1.1; though the story behind that is less about money and far more interesting. Apparently, APNIC had owned 1.1.1.1 for, basically, forever, but were never able to actually use it for anything because

iPhone 13 Pro, with A15 Bionic, scored around 2250 Geekbench 6 single core. M2 Max, more-so around 2800. These two chips are comparable because they use the same microarchitecture, and it indicates a ~20-25% uplift in single core mostly jus

One thing I think about: over time, more and more training will probably move closer to users devices. - Client-side training carries a lot of financial advantages; you can push the cost of the silicon, storage, and electricity onto the u

Not Microsoft, but related: I am convinced that there's a major issue with iCloud Drive and iCloud Photos losing files and photos. I've got more than one folder on iCloud Drive I know had files in them; but nothing is there. I&#

I think that’s true, but those “small changes” end up being large enough that they practically require a human in the loop for maintenance. In comparison; you’re right about the toaster, as there are practically no changes which need to be

$38k is a huge sum, but the problem is, it’s not enough. $1USD in 1920 inflated to roughly $15USD here in 2023. The same thing is going to happen, by design, between now and 2120. This approximates to a pyramid scheme; or maybe, the US Soci

When playing beat saber, I always assumed the Apple Watch over-estimates calorie burn if only because the watch is on the part of your body that's the most mobile (your wrist). So, getting 300kcal for a 30 minute session felt like chea

If a 30 second build can be cut to 15 seconds, for 20 engineers, assuming a conservative 10 save-file commands per workday (HMR!): this change converts ~216 engineer-hours per year from non-productive to potentially-productive. Given an ave

There are popular problem domains where turning off the GC is useful. The best example is Lambda functions/FaaS. Most invocations are short-lived enough that the GC never triggers anyway, but being able to turn it off can help smooth d

I'm not sure that's a relevant distinction. If you take the stance that a major version has to mean breaking API compatibility with the previous major version, semver style, then their statement is equivalent to saying "the

Right, and I think there's an interesting transitive correlation here: As a customer of Render, while Render was down because of Cloudflare; is it appropriate for me to post on our outage page: "Service interruption due to issue

by 015a 3y ago
Sure, but there's a time and a place. Outages involve high tensions and fog of war; and you said it yourself, you're already ready to blame them for not having backup generators in this hypothetical example. The midst of an outage

I get that, and the update is much appreciated. I don't mean to insinuate that this was the intention behind why that language was chosen; its just the sentiment that the language conveys, and that's why I'm not a fan of it.

I'm going to share a, probably, controversial opinion. That opinion is: I can't stand an outage title like "Websites and APIs on Render are unavailable due to Cloudflare network errors". Its passing blame. I run an app o

Open source software, by and large, is not maintained by volunteers, and I think the view of it is harmful to understanding how open source works. The vast, vast, vast majority of open source software was created by engineers at for-profi
