I don't want to trigger a war - honestly, it's probably just personal preference (and I now almost exclusively work in Azure, so things may have changed in the last 12-18 months). My gripe was mainly about the density of the UI el

Personally, I've never had a problem with Amazon's design (though AWS is another story). If their design is actually "bad", then my only takeaway is that design isn't nearly as important as people claim (at least, f

Read the same article yesterday, which got me thinking. I'm not familiar with Fieldbook, but I do wonder if they weren't as savvy as Airtable when it came to sales & finance strategy. Products alone rarely make a business. It&

As I said, I have to admit it wasn't empirical, so no blood work. I wasn't aware of magnesium supplements - what's the science behind it?

Oh yeah, companies of substantial size have large/meaningless overheads too. That's the unfortunate consequence of having a lot of people work together with varying opinions/motivations. They also have to spend a lot on warm

It's an interesting dynamic. BigCo doesn't live or die by a single employee or customer, so they can afford for devs to explore tech/ideas/etc. But in terms of actually commercializing/releasing something, there&#x2

I chanced upon the Google office during my first trip to NYC a few weeks ago. I was surprised that it was so enormous - do they actually occupy the whole thing? It's basically an entire block.

Yeah, I've tried the same (my theory was it would help mitigate the effects of SAD through the long, dark winter). I've noticed no difference (though to be fair, it was hardly an empirical approach). I have a pretty well-rounded

My fat PS3 died on me a few months ago. That was the greatest sign so far I had hit middle age. Talk about depressing!

It’s interesting to consider what, if any, impact there would be on these measures if Google were regulated more aggressively as a monopoly. Not that I disagree with restricting clickjacking etc, but at some point you have to curtail the po

I've come across a couple of websites selling LibreOffice rebranded. While I know it's permissible, it does leave a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. I sort of feel like there should be a banner on the frontpage acknowledging it.

Well, I obviously have no control over what recipients do or do not mark as spam, so it's not an absolute guarantee. But of all the options available, self-hosted was the least reliable.

I hosted our e-mail server a few years ago and it was a massive pain, because I could never be certain if e-mails were being delivered. 99% of the time it was fine, but then we'd occasionally run into some odd spam vendor who had black

I can barely write messages on my phone, let alone code. I literally made 3 typing errors in the above sentence that were from fat fingering the IPhone touch keyboard. I loathe it, and look forward to switching back to a hardware keyboard

I don't entirely agree. There's a weird/elusive balance you need to strike. On the one hand, people like ideas, because it's easy enough to make something sound promising. "I like dogs, and Uber for dogs sounds aw

I want to hear from people who have actually done this. I suspect they all have well-known track records and are selling to people who trust them to deliver. I still haven’t met anyone personally (myself included) who managed to presell sof

In theory, translating an interface-based monolith to a SOA should be straightforward - drop-in some replacement classes for your services and you're good to go. In practice, it's not as simple as that. Serialization across servic

I think it's more than this. Lots of people are willing to pay consultants $50k to build something for them. They are much less inclined to pay exactly the same price for the same product if it's pre-built and off-the-shelf. Peopl
