Only when your application depends on optimizing your database to the max. Most applications don't. And even if the application I work on does - then only in production. Not on my laptop. So on my laptop I will simply chose a docker im

You think they will let Bing become the default mode of user interaction with their phones? Wouldn't that commoditize their product? If you have the same experience (talking to Bing) on any phone, why would people pay for the Apple bra

Is deploying a database binary and mounting a volume on a VM really the hard part? The nice thing about containers is that you are independent of the underlying infrastructure. Be it a VM or bare metal. I can easily spin up a

The article is a bit lightweight, and the title should be changed to just "Microft vs Google". But anyhow, a good opportunity to discuss the super interesting situation around the new AI wars. IMHO the most interesting situation i

Page transitions are much faster for me on Wikipedia than on AirBnB. Whatever I click on AirBnB, I get a white screen, then some placeholders, then the placeholders one after the other get replaced by the actual content. Whatever I click on

A bit of Ajax here and there is fine. Look at how HN handles it when you upvote/unvote a comment. Look at how old.reddit.com handles it when you click "load more comments" in a long thread.

Yes, I also use the old Reddit. What's funny is that the old Reddit makes use of dynamic loading of content here and there the right way. The "load more comments" of the old Reddit is nice and fast. While the "continue

You don't even need a fancy "send html fragments over the wire" approach to create a better user and developer experience. Just sending full pages, server side rendered, like Hacker News and Wikipedia do is fine: Going from t

No that Microsoft is taking a giant swing at Google and the tech world in general, I reread this old essay by Paul Graham. Where he argues that Microsoft is dead because it is not dangerous anymore.

I wonder how much Musks behavior on Twitter over the last months impacted the Tesla brand. A lot of people I know hesitate to take a seat on a plane, even for a week-long holiday. Having to read about Elon Jet and that Musk takes a whole pl

Why mix the type of software (A CMS for certain use cases) with the distribution mechanism (Cloudflare Pages etc)? Shouldn't that be two seperate issues?

Why do you want a framework and not just plain HTML, CSS and Javascript? I have been doing frontend dev for over a decade and I never needed a framework. When I want to template data client side, I use Handlebars.

Maybe. Maybe my reaction was to harsh.

Yes, the title signals low quality content. Scanning the text, I think it is the typical SEO fluff that a whole industry has evolved around in the last decades. Corporate blogs can be a wonderful thing. When they are written by actual emplo

If it is set up so that the users can put in bets and appoint judges, then it can't ever be rugpulled. Individual judges could turn hostile. But if the judges get paid for their work, a great track record might be worth more than any r

Wouldn't such an exchange be a good use case for a smart contract? It would make it very transparent, if the exchange is honest. As a history of all bids, payouts and judgments would be recorded on a blockchain. It probably also would

First, you are confusing market cap with "value" or some other concept. Market cap is price of the last sale multiplied by stock. So every asset has it by definition. Second, how do you back up that statement of not being able to

So far, the market disagrees with Buffet and Munger. In 2018 Bitcoin's market cap was around $150B. Today it is around $300B. Maybe Charles and Munger might have come up with interesting concepts long ago. But not during my adult life.

I just read the mail he sent to employees last night. In which he asks them to agree to a hardcore work culture or get fired. I guess to get people to work for you under such a leadership, you have to pay above normal salaries? Twice of wha

Yes, it is an overcollateralized loan. And yes, borrowing an asset and selling it means you are short regarding that asset.

True. But it seems they also have various kinds of custody services. The question is how much assets they have under management. Any way to find that out?
