They integrated in-repo configuration, self-hosted runners, composable workflow definitions, a robust API, and container building and registries for the first time in a CI tool. Of course GitHub came and blew that out of the water with a co

Because unlike some other providers, AWS understands the value of backward compatibility. They were the first to make the concept of simultaneously deployed versioned public HTTP APIs work seamlessly at scale, and the number of actually imp

OK, but that's not relevant to the scenario that I described.

Let's imagine that I have a perfectly reasonable looking piece of code in my app: db.write(Event(timestamp=int(datetime.datetime.utcnow().timestamp())) After the change that you propose, the timestamps written by this code wil

Code failing to run is the good outcome.

Breaking following the change is fine. Silently changing the behavior in a way that could cause catastrophic bugs is not. That's why the suggestion to just keep the functions and change their behavior is naive. It would obviously be ve

As e-bikes and electric cars multiply, managing the sustainable repair and total lifecycle of their batteries is going to become a lot more important. Currently we treat e-bike batteries as disposable. When a battery dies, you are invited t

No knowledgeable biotech VC invested in Theranos, because they were unable to pass due diligence. Theranos investors were unsophisticated family offices who didn't operate in the space, didn't know enough science or technology the

I think Notion was wild to make that choice, and has yet to reap the full consequences of it.

People look at me like I'm crazy when I suggest that Notion's use of the Somalia TLD is a security concern that should give pause to anyone looking to store confidential data. This includes Notion's own recruiters. I still th

Thanks for clarifying. I missed the part about this being a recurring monthly payout - $180 does clear the threshold of what I'd consider a significant donation, so I appreciate that. I don't mind it being spread out monthly. I th

Speaking of Sentry's program... I recently received a notification that as an open source developer, I am eligible for a payout from this program. Excited, I logged in to eventually find out that the payout amounted to... $15. Don&#x27

All you really need is the brake fluid, a standard sized syringe, and a rag. I was concerned about this when putting together my first hydraulic brakes, but it turned out not to be any more complicated than cables. It's annoying but de

This does not match my experience. Can you give some examples?

This guy speaks for himself. Rim brakes are not better for most riders most of the time. Hydraulic disc brakes deliver superior braking power, better modulation, are safer, lighter, and more reliable. Braking power in particular is very imp

Tech is being hit harder to the extent it depends more on capital financing for employee compensation. Going from 0 to 5.5% fed funds rate has enormous implications for the cost of capital and growth models. Corporate debt financing yield w

I'm not sure if you realize it, but you're demonstrating exactly the thing described in the blog post. Why the hell do I need a backup for my light switch? The first time I installed HomeAssistant (on a Raspberry Pi), it worked gr

Just to make this more explicit for those following along... this is just another aspect of Google's TVC (temporary, vendor and contractor) caste system. Google's full-time workforce is supported by a larger shadow workforce of co

I haven't used Splunk in a number of years due to its cost. Splunk seems like a good pairing for Cisco - it's complementary to its other offerings to less price sensitive orgs, like Meraki. I've used several Splunk competitor

That's not a coincidence. Mafias subsist on corrupting industries and extracting illicit revenue from them. To do this, they need to have a degree of understanding of the industry in question. It is far harder to corrupt manufacturing

Yes and yes. E-bike batteries consist of 40 to 100 cells. Typically one cell fails prematurely and compromises a pod of 4 to 10 other cells that are connected in parallel with it. Replacing the whole pod is safe as long as it's done pr

This is an incredibly cynical move by the e-bike industry, and I'm really sad to see an industry org claiming to represent REI, Santa Cruz, etc. peddling this crap. What they're asking consumers to do is send them a battery that t

I've seen many iterations of this type of debate by now, and learned to recognize the patterns. The people arguing for the ostensibly simpler solution are really asking you to trust their ability to architect apps out of simpler buildi
