I don't know what caused your experience, but I've had the opposite experience using XFS with many small files. It's my filesystem of choice for simple (single device) use cases. The main reason is that XFS automatically allo

Pre-commit hooks are great in small, focused codebases with small, homogeneous teams. In large monorepos with lots of different teams committing, it's impossible to guarantee any kind of consistency in which pre-commit hooks get run, s

OK that's fair since I said "good money" but $10K is a bit out of reach. I was thinking more in the $2K range. My best option today is a MacBook Pro Max with a quad 4K setup, which is relatively affordable but unwieldy and re

It's not just those. The 16 MB storage/128 MB flash recommended minimums are a non-issue for pretty much any remotely popular router in the 802.11ac wifi era, and I doubt OpenWRT will suddenly explode in size and blow past those l

Ping is one of the oldest players in the business, they were founded in 2002 and had one of the earliest identity PaaS in the market (at least as far back as 2012). Haven't used their products much though.

Given the choice between a crummy API and being driven bankrupt by a SaaS vendor, I prefer a crummy API. I suppose your calculus might look different if you have a lot of money or an employer with great negotiating leverage.

Your computer is not unsafely designed in a way that kills tens of thousands of people a year in accidents. Also, your computer's power consumption is in fact regulated on a semi-voluntary basis via a program called Energy Star. People
