Back in 2014, this article inspired me to write an iOS app. I took a few weekends putting most of my efforts into formatting and readability. Just when I was ready to release, I got really busy at work. Weeks became months, and months becam

Try helping someone else. You could discover joy in that. I have a developer friend who is acting as a CTO to a disabled person - taking care of hands-free communication, smart home stuff, etc. It doesn't seem to take a lot of his time

I think you missed the point of my original comment and fixated on the word "duopoly" for some reason.

You may be underestimating the resentment with current duopoly operators in the US. I live in a dense city and I would switch in a heartbeat even if Starlink didn't offer better/faster/cheaper service. Just being on par would

My experience with android has been very similar. For example, last week I ran into a bug that seems like a simple omission that was reported back in 2010 ( https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36918490 ). It took unti

A lot of the comments seem to defend Google on the grounds of fighting bad actors and protecting users from malicious code. This post is not disputing Google's right, some would say duty, to counter fraud. It's simply stating that

iPhone 7 is only two generations behind and a very capable device. I use one and it probably has at least another 2 years of good life left.

Picking n = 60 compares Falcon's first n attempts with Ariane's best stretch. It conveniently ignores Ariane's initial mis-steps that every complex system is prone to. By the same token I can cherry-pick n=30 and claim victor

Now we are picking timeframes and deconstructing the meaning of "failure" (BTW, that too is not that much more favorable to Ariane 5). The upshot is that their reliability is not dramatically different, they are comparable.

Looking at their wikipedia pages, the Ariane 5 has had a total of 5 (partial and full) failures out of 99 launches. This is a 95% success rate. Falcon 9 has 3 failures out of 61 launches. Their success rate is actually slightly better.

This looks impressive but it doesn't seem to account for hung ISP modems. It's a pretty common issue with consumer-grade service. If not handled properly (e.g. power cycling) eventually both connections might end up inoperable. Pe

I've been doing this for a long time and there is one big, real-world, gotcha - most business (such as Uber, Lyft, Microsoft) can't send text messages to Twilio numbers. I filed a ticket with their customer support a few years ago
