That's not necessarily true. I work on BitMEX, and we offer quarterly futures contracts that don't have holding fees. Today, with the price movement, they've been even trading at a discount to spot.

How useful is that, really, considering you couldn't possibly use a Yubikey to configure disk encryption? Unless you actually put the unlock key on the Yubikey somehow (I've never heard of someone attempting or succeeding at that)

Seems pretty nice. A few things I'd like to see: 1. We should be able to configure this for a few/all branches (including PRs) and have conditional build tasks based on branch. 2. We need be able to access resources inside a VPC.

And it doesn't look good for any of those. t2 instances notoriously throttle way down to 10% if your workload is too consistent. The full performance is quite good from the 2.40 GHz E2676 v3, but at 10% it's worse than a Raspberry

It doesn't appear that Lightsail actually allows hooking up data volumes. This is a surprising regression considering AWS basically invented it, and a major downside compared to DO. So network-attached storage for Lightsail is upside f

It's just an artifact of network-attached storage. Many competitors just use local storage, which comes with its own serious downsides for the company and customer. DigitalOcean just recently launched its Volumes service, but it's

A compelling product. The dashboard looks great. They even replaced the confusing term "user data" with "launch script", but they fall back into it later. SSH in-browser is great too and can be bookmarked/opened in

Yet, this is the same cost on EC2 for the first 10TB, except you don't get 1TB for free with EC2. So essentially you're getting $90 worth of egress traffic for $5. It's even more obvious now that EC2 egress pricing is ridicul

Practically, what good is Google certification, if a majority of the devices in the wild are months or even years behind on security updates?

Which is precisely the idea of covariant getters / contravariant setters in some sounder languages.

Really interesting what high import taxes will do. Craziest of all - Tectoy ported Street Fighter 2 for the 8-bit Master System... in 1997. It's predictably terrible but really, it's amazing it happened at all.

Surprised not to see much comparison to Joyent Triton on here. We evaluated Triton, and while we encountered a depressing number of show-stopping bugs doing really basic things in the first week (like any container that installs `curl` fail

Nice work. But perhaps you meant to link to https://github.com/mbasso/react-decoration/tree/master/docs instead? The releases page only shows a single release and two decorators. It is also worth noting

This is why we badly need an alternative to input's `type` attribute, as the type attribute encapsulates many different things: 1. Validation 2. Autofill hints 3. Native helper widgets (date calendar, number input spinner) 4. Mobile ke

It stores some data in the url, but not all. I opened up a PR ( https://github.com/powdahound/ec2instances.info/pull/202 ) to store the rest.

A nice little dash. Surprisingly, I found the most valuable part of it is honestly just splitting stdout/stderr, as the rest of the data is relatively easy to access (except event loop lag, but there are packages like toobusy[ https:&#

This is a really big deal. We have a very large/complex web application & API with a large number of dependencies, and not a single npm alternative (pnpm, ied, npm-install) could figure out the tree properly. It has been working we

Right, but that would almost certainly be a root-level property in any real app. In any case, it's still awfully verbose and confounding for little reason.

Yeah, absolutely no reason you couldn't do this (quickly) with Node. The only reason I see to use Python over Node here is for a smaller dep tree (sane Node development still requires a lot of dependencies) and some more mature CLI lib

That's great to know. So all that's missing is the ability to map more than 2 keys so we can get `hyper` back. Seems this is the place to look: https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements/blob/maste

Be aware: Sierra breaks Karabiner and Seil. You'll need to use Karabiner-Elements, which has far less functionality than Karabiner. Notably, you can't remap caps lock and you can't assign to more than 2 keys, so caps-lock &qu
