Early in one of my companies, we had a cloud hosted database provider that only provided (at our meager level of spend) 7 days of daily backups for the main db. We had a specific customer, one of maybe ten, and a higher percentage of our re

We use Google Calendar, and it is generally the best solution in my experience. But not just a daily event; an actual time, with a meeting invite that anyone relevant joins, to run each task together. It helps knowledge transfer and helps g

You're 100%, undoubtedly, focusing your anger at the wrong party. Taking CF out of the equation of your problem won't fix the problem. It won't take the site down. It won't stop their behavior. What I think is happening:

Hosting a DNS zone file is not tantamount to enabling attacks. Its like saying Google enabled murder because Maps provided the directions for a murderer to get to the victim's house.

by 015a 4y ago
But that's the point! CF sees this aspect of the policy as acting like a public utility. Is that so wrong? Isn't that better than the alternative? Maybe, if we lived in a world where the government provided CDNs and DDoS mitigatio

I'm not quite as sure. To me, its kind of like saying "well, we don't have to worry about global warming, oil is awesome and if it gets too bad we always have Mars". Which, I can explain a little bit because that analogy

All code is fast to write. Decisions like this should be optimized for reading and comprehension, not writing. IMO: Extreme opinions one way or the other don't work, and thus (most of the time) code-complete automation also doesn'

Right yeah, that's my mistake; it was showcased for release on both OSX and Windows at a MacWorld conference in the late 90s; Microsoft purchased Bungie in like 2000, and after that acquisition they added on an Xbox release.

Everyone has been doing this since forever. Halo was originally supposed to be released on MacOS (!!); then Microsoft bought up Bungie and made it an Xbox exclusive. Sony paid Call of Duty / Activision millions to get exclusive content

I'm not asserting that Apple's choice of color is malicious; just that it needs to be improved. Also, I'm not asserting that Green is bad. The issue is the shade of Green, and the a11y issues it creates. I don't know how

In a product development org, refusing to prioritize something is identical to deprioritizing it. @Time0 -> Priority1=X, Priority2=Y @Time1 -> Priority1=X, Priority2=Z, Priority3=Y Across this timeframe, Y's priority was lowered

Agreed; nothing in JS has hit the level of productivity I got with Meteor, and while its still going along, its pretty sad that it (or its ideas) didn't catch on.

Well, I think the issue is, no reasonable person would consider "Tesla upgraded something under warranty" as a defect. Here's another example: many car brands sell larger tires as a feature of upper trim models. Hypotheticall
