You can read about Ubiquiti's self-hosted gear at their web site, ui.com. A good starting point is their NVR/SDN controller, which they call a "CloudKey Gen2+" [1]. A slightly unfortunate name because using the word &q

I look forward to Ubiquiti's upcoming "UniFi Access" line of access control hardware (e.g., an electric bolt controller with a front-facing door camera embedded in a nice package). Self-hosted like all UniFi gear, meaning vi

Yes, agreed. In fact, I agree so much that I just use a big monitor with a computer attached for my "living room" television consumption. It turns out computers can consume URLs pretty well.

I sure hope so since 73.0b3 is the most recent available version of Developer Edition. It's odd to not have any messaging about the non-mainstream editions.

The splash of dust transitions used in the product video seem pathological to YouTube's MPEG compression. The compression renders the transitions a blurry mess—it's so messy as to be jarring. That's disappointing in a video

Great write-up, brandur! Actix has definitely deployed a broad suite of optimizations. When we posted Round 17 of our Framework Benchmarks, we wrote [1] about the stratified Fortunes results and attributed it in large part to our agreement

I agree that the peak is pulling away from the average, and most of us want the average performance of applications to lift. We have to throw aside facile "Good Enoughism" and genuinely respect the time of our users. Where I diff

The gradual return of symmetric connectivity, which is underway today, as well as edge adoption of IPv6, could/should usher in a revitalized era of peer-to-peer and other decentralized computing models. Peer-to-peer models last thrived

Agreed. I feel as much as we've seen NASs grow into devices that are vaguely approachable by enthusiasts, there is still a huge amount of ground to cover before they would be the sort of thing that one could easily deploy in their par

Agreed. It may be true that Eclipse on a Ryzen 9 doesn't feel as responsive as Visual J++ on a Pentium III. J++ was just that much faster than Eclipse. Then again, for my usage, the J++ environment was not much more than a syntax-co

You say that as if they are somehow being sparing in their support of C# and .NET, which is clearly not true. What specifically do you see as lacking on that front?

J++ might get a bad rap in hindsight, but back in the day, it was amazing. The editor was liquid smooth, performance wise, and the compiler was at least a dozen times faster than the JDK Java compiler. It was like the Jikes compiler befor

Agreed. Velocity of input is not nothing, but I think the original premise set up in the first tweet of the thread—that modern computer software makes us wait too much—is lost by focusing on an input mechanism, which would suggest the root

UniFi gear remains optionally self-hosted. It does have the option of cloud login, but you can opt to not use that, using a self-hosted NVR and SDN controller. Almost all high-end gear (Axis, etc.) is also easily self-hostable but obviousl
