Having 3D objects described in a text based environment is the idea. That way you can version them with git. It is also focused on supporting Volumetric modeling of 3d objects, rather than simply being CSG based like most CAD software, even

Wouldn't demand for the outputs of the self sufficient economy eventually bottom out in this scenario?

There is kind of a conflict of interest here, no? Providing professional services can raise capital very quickly. Connects you to potential buyers. Provides guidance. Sounds like the same thing a VC gives you, but you retain all the ownersh

Yeah, I think it's not so much the middle management that's the problem, but as you get higher and higher up a large company, and more abstracted from the actual work being done, there are a lot of demands for leadership. But our

Perhaps if you didn't worry about reading so much, you could write more. Than you would have more essays about how you write so much, eh David?

You know the Federal government contracts out running prisons and the acquisition of execution materials to private entities right?

I had better luck when I tried it. You might have to leave it running for a bit.

I think the default filter lists don't seek to block video content like this, but you can definitely accomplish this with custom filters. I have filters set up to block these videos on cnn.

Honestly, I don't even think the billing is that untransparent - all their services have pretty straightforward pricing guidelines, and certain services are load limited (going to point out light sail again). It's pretty fair - yo

I think that's not only a good reason not to use AWS, but also the fundamental problem with the position that cloud service providers pose. It would be much healthier for companies and organizations to directly own their own computing

If running your tech stack on local hardware is right for you guys, than more power to you. That is also what works for me for my personal and hobby computing requirements, where I maintain a home machine. But there is kind of an implicatio

You are vastly overestimating the IT capabilities of most companies. The human time and energy cost that you handwaved away is a real killer because that is expert knowledge capability that is highly valued by the market. Maintaining an IT

Hey, this sounds like the goal of the low code industry. To deliver an authoring experience where you don't have to worry about the semantics of code do develop software. It works really well in certain contexts, but a word of warning

Well, the operational requirements of commercial entities may be different than the federal government. Many of the companies that you mentioned offer FedRAMP services (with maybe the exception of Apple and Facebook), and they probably reck

Well, the Slack security team seems to think that DNSSEC is important. Even for their workspace domains. I just want to hammer home the point that requiring service providers to get their DNS records signed by DNS zone owners is a reasonabl

I work for a company that maintains DNSSEC on our FedRAMP deployment. It's not unreasonable to ask for signed DNS records if feds are going to hit them. Your blog post makes the supposition that DNSSEC is only being pushed as an altern

It's a business decision. Good luck selling software subscriptions to federal agencies without FedRAMP compliance. I'm pretty surprised that slack doesn't have a more robust testing network. Is it really that hard to set up a

Honestly, does he really owe the public a reason? I am no Jack Dorsey fan, but it would be unusual for any CEO of even a moderately successful company to expose any internal business with the public.

Meanwhile, I'm over here wishing that they actually applied their terms of service uniformly. Instead of making exceptions for famous people.

I don't think it is valid to say that the difficulty of running large successful companies buys moral leeway for their CEOs. They get payed the big bucks for a reason, let's hold them responsible.
