> More prestigious private universities use a lot of government funding to fund widely cited research which is what makes them prestigious. Just a correction, the unversities are NOT the ones that apply for, and receive funding from e.g.

It's not the universities that apply for research funding, and then build basketball courts. Researchers themselves write and apply for grants, and the grants are for the researchers. The money goes to them and their research, not the

Cloudflare is more of a symptom of underlying problems. I for sure don't use cloudflare because I love what they do.

Contrast is not the end-all-be-all I have pretty severe astigmatism, and when contrast is too high I get quite severe visual artifacts. For me text is more legible if the contrast is a bit tamed.

I totally agree, there e.g. so many companies out there who rely on fully manual processes internally simply because they cannot currently afford to hire programmers to solve the problems they have for them. The ROI just isn't there. R

I can throw one more curveball here that currently isn't really solved anywhere. Nameless people. This situation arises when you know you want to travel after giving birth, and you want to book the tickets in advanced to take advantage

I used to work at a Fintech company where we had around 1-20k concurrent active users, monthly around 2 million active users. I forget the RPS, but it was maybe around 200-1000 normally? We ran on bare metal, bash scripts, not a container i

So does GCP and Azure. At least in GCP land the stuff is really quite reasonably priced, too.

100k Eur is high salary for a dev. A unicorn who knows they are one, won't agree to that salary, but would for 150k or 200k.

And you may still end up with longer downtime if SHTF than if you use a managed provider.

This is the balance, right? For the vast majority of web apps et. al. the cloud costs are going to be cheaper than having full-time Ops people managing an OSS stack on VPS / Bare Metal.

The alternative is not to build a different PaaS alternative, but to simply pay Heroku/AWS/Google/Indie PaaS providers and go back to making your core product.

by Maxion 2y ago
I don't know why people don't value their time at all. PaaS are so cheap these days for the majority of projects, that it just is not worth it to spend your own time to manage the whole infrastructure stack. If you're forced

I've bumped into this with various API integrations to e.g. warehousing systems, ERPs, hosting providers and what not. The advice in this thread works great until you are on a project to integrate X API into Y project, and you need the

Probably but IRL: A) Who reads those? B) Who cares if e.g. Miro finds out you're sharing accounts and get banned?

There's A LOT of good advice for SaaS companies here. The problem e.g. you desribe is clearly something thats solvable on the SaaS side.

As most places do, reddit followed the pareto principle. Most people viewed, some peopel comment, and even fewer people post. The people who post, tend to be power users. I feel with the removal of third party apps, they alianated a lot of

This is something that I think a lot of people miss. There is for sure a reason why google has that toast. One shouldn't just dismiss what the big tech guys do in terms of UI because they are among those who have the most resource to s

by Maxion 2y ago
I think this is because a global toast service is trivial to implement, one service class / event listener, one UI component. It takes one ticket to make, and then it's just a matter of implementing the event publishes /&#x2F

Even with your description of a gradee A webapp that uses local state management effectively + shows syncing + queues with stacking + connectivity detection and exponential retries etc. I still feel like toasts can be useful to indicate to

Undo's (and especially re-do) are quite hard and resource intensive to code, especially for web apps that can be simultaneously accessed via multiple devices. E.g. you can take action A on your laptop, followed by action B on your phon

Yep, if this feature was limited to the window in focus, then the API could make sense. The way it is now, I know all savvy users will just block it, and many of the non savvy ones will too... Complete waste of time to dedicate developer re

It's probably tens of petabytes if not more, if you count PDFs that'd be private. Invoices, order confirmations, contracts. There's just so so much.

It could be useful in some research, allowing precise control of e.g. watering and automated photography of the plants. But that's about it.

It is indeed a juicero of farming. It costs 4 grand for something that can handle a single garden bed. This is not suitable for even small commerical growers, they'd need hundreds of these things. All commercial growers in my latitude

One quite unique thing in Finland is our spot electricty price. I think Sweden and Norway also has this? Basically consumers in these countries have access to the raw eletricity market, and can buy power in one hour increments at the market

It never fails to amaze me how JavaScript still has so many inconsistencies and weird behavior. My biggest pet peeve is the lack of decimal in the main language.
