Azure is years behind at this point. Seems that every ~6 months they have another global outage because some critical infra failed in their main DC. While this has happened in the past with GCP and AWS, the frequency is stunning from MSFT.

This is a hilariously bad idea. I agree with gshdg on this...

IMO no. Amazon just offers what people use.

WD isn't much better, but Backblaze stats have consistently shown Seagate to be higher failure rate than everybody else out there. Good riddance.

Oh man, this brings me back. I used to love making those streamlined XP installs where I stripped out as much as posisble. Was insane how fast you could get XP. Don't even get me started on when Longhorn leaked. OS ended up sucking but

Companies are spineless and will do pretty much anything for money. We've seen it from the NBA, Blizzard, Disney, and the like. The fact of the matter is that if you want to do business in China, you have to be open to censoring things

This is an incredibly "hner who is out of touch with reality" comment. I don't like Alexa devices in my home, but I'm gonna need to see any data backing your claim.

IMO cert pinning isn't all that important. The number of painful outages caused by cert pinning versus the actual security benefit isnt worth it IMO. But the truth is that random app dev doesn't have their shit together enough to

No, but they are one of the few _actually_ thinking about it rather than devoting their resources to something "more worthy". It's easy to criticize a company their size, but they definitely do this very very right.

Antecdotally - the folks who have organized internal things like this at Amazon generally continue to work there. The folks who did the same at google seem to have gotten fired.

Anyone have any examples of the opposite? Where a feature did actually stand as a product?

This is such a stereotypical HN post I almost don't believe it's real * CLI tools with some wonky syntax * You don't need X because there is a random github repo that solves your problem! (To be fair, this is within the hacke

No. N64 emulators are all pretty bad (inaccurate, use a decent amount of resources) and upscaling is relatively expensive. At least, way too expensive for an rpi to handle. It will work fine as an emu at 240p though

They are almost certainly talking about "Meat Street" I've been a member in the beer ones for years. Happy to answer any questions.

It's no different than the crazy person I walk by every morning on the way to work. They have nothing to lose. I have everything. It's not worth it for me to get involved.

[Citation needed] Nowhere in that article is Amazon's choice mentioned. Amazon has always taken a pretty libertarian stance on selling books. It's been a dilemma for the company since inception. What is and isn't okay to sell

I think that there are some alternatives, but they definitely aren't feasible in many parts of the world at this point. That being said, I do think one could make a strong argument that Exxon lied to investors through omittance of a tr

This is pedantic, but it's actually 87! I literally couldn't use it on an airplane outlet today because it drew too much power.

We've experienced the opposite in the pnw. Winters are more polarized. Either they suck or they are insanely good and long.

Yes. I agree with your characterization here. I'm just blown away that Apple hasn't reverted this. Imo it's a huge vuln.

This is literally how tons of people end up going homeless. It's a lot harder than just "pack up the few things I have and dip out" People totally can't afford to move in many cases. But I've never been that poor to

Prel is great and has an important role, even today. That being said, I'm a professional dev and we own a decent amount of perl. That codebase is by far the most difficult to work in out of anything we own. New hires have trouble with
