   I am AWS heavy and used Google Cloud a bit. There are tons of AWS services where Google just does not provide an equivalent. Also, AWS release pace is incredible. Quality of Google Cloud is very decent though.

   You and <cool SV startup> don't register that on the radar. But the random Fortune 500 big corp is pouring money into "Enterprise Clouds" like Oracle, IBM and SAP with embedded sales, consulting and support.

   I'm a simple (and data driven) man, I just look at statistics, see a pattern and factor in the probability of fraud when doing Western Union money transfers to Ghana.

    During my thesis, I wrote an algorithm (at a organization very with close ties to Here) that takes OSM and transforms it so a very basic 3D map, using lots of assumptions. That derived, baseline map can then get enhanced by sensory data tha

    Different projects - different requirements. Perhaps you should assume people who are using it like this carefully weighted security against their requirements and came to the conclusion that it's a legit tradeoff. > This is just br

    I tried to ditch ABP in favour of uBlock 1-or-so years ago and I found it way worse in terms of the amount of blocked ads.

    But it's very slow in comparison to ST. For sure related to the Electron framework beneath VSCode. (Yes, I'm that type of person that opens 25MB logfiles with such an editor)

    900k devices is a monoculture, really? What about the billions of Windows & Linux powered devices out there? I bet with a Linux 0day, you can exploit 10s of billions of devices out there, including routers.

    So I'm sitting here, just unlocked my Mac through putting my finger on the touchbar and reading your post, wondering who that "pro" is that I keep on hearing in conjunction with Apple during the last 6 months. I'm a dev,

    In my company, everybody uses Jabra gear (because the company pays for it). I own some Bose Noise Cancelling headset, because I had it before, and everybody complains that there is no noise cancelling on my mic, what the Jabras have. Evolve

    Don't use it if you require low latency - performance is abysmal and the bottleneck is Lambda overhead that you cannot influence. Also, if you don't have a high traffic function, cold start is also an issue, at least when using Ja

    For the Berlin S-Bahn, there is a weird mix of automatic and manual announcement. Where the train is heading is announced automatically, whereas "Einsteigen bitte" (board please) and "Zurückbleiben bitte" (stay clear) is

    Wow, I had almost the very same set of questions for a junior SRE role! The difference is: I graduated ~1 year ago and therefore have a lot less experience than this guy. It was kinda funny, the recruiter called me to "go through some

    For me, libhunt is just scam. Take Github "Awesome lists", add sorting and ads, profit with other peoples' work. https://github.com/fffaraz/awesome-cpp
