Don't think that building your whole service on lambda or google cloud functions with tons of code is the best idea, but it's a great shim between clients and backends. Tech changes constantly and you'll always be up against

For an indie effort on a limited budget it was fine. I got the point. I don't need to see the actual candy. If you don't already get the idea of weird candy from other countries not sure illuminating it more would make much diff

Nice anecdote - was there too. Don't think we can hold nav apps accountable in these extreme circumstances. Just not enough data for them to extrapolate. I studied my route while driving in from Washington and thought about pinch poi

This is why I go to Ace over big box. I can walk in with 2 parts and say I need to connect these. They'll page the right person and a minute later they will be finding the right parts and get me set in a few minutes. This would take n

Google maps does update route in real time. They also integrate Waze data since they own them. Waze was taking heat for routing onto residential side streets which makes me wonder if Google is taking a softer approach. Interesting that you

Apparently HMD is across the street from Nokia and is run be former Nokia execs. HMD gets the brand, Nokia gets the royalties. Almost like a step-subsidiary. Not sure what the agreement was with MSFT but certainly a great save of their I

Monorepo? Why not just keep everything in one directory? Let's go 8.3. Everyone in same functional division? No way. Dependencies in your source are managed at a higher level. This whole thing is nonsense because the orgs can't fi

It would be a civil not criminal case if it ever came to that and they would have to prove actual damages. Pursuing it by way of setting an example to employees could very well backfire.

I agree, but if you are really safety minded you should have a metal pick/club to break the windows anyway. Can't rely on doors being operational during accident and can't wait for emergency response. Of course I don't

Create a state law that defines what constitutes "internet access". ISPs would be forced to offer that or "limited internet access" or some such.

Context. It's hard to explain to people who didn't go through it. The word "threat" didn't even register. There is no other information to evaluate except the message and the dprk situation. No one is going to launc

Yes it does happen. Small startup gets a shakedown when they get into incumbent player market. Been there. Not always but it can be game ending. Not commenting on the quoted anecdote, just my experience and word of mouth from others.
