We lived it in the early 2000s until Firefox broke the monopoly and it was a dark time to work in web.

Or, is the market share including mobile where Chrome and Safari are king. If we just look at desktop market share is Firefox higher?

Development. When you're developing in a container you can guaranty that the environment is the same on your PC or in the cloud. Also, the same argument you had for shared resources in Linux, when you're running Linux on a VM loca

But, because healthcare is public in NZ you wouldn't bother with the brand names as you'll have to pay for them (generics are funded by the taxpayer through Pharmac, which is the crown entity that is responsible for buying all pub

Nope, and they're annoying because I accidentally click them and random stuff happens because I have no idea what they're mapped to.

The first album is dark enough to appeal you'd think.

You can do it both in Terraform and also at the resource level in Azure itself.

He should have specified that, because we're talking global here. A 24% spike in the US is absolutely insane.

Most of those diseases have a long tail so we won't see the death rate from them for 2020 probably. They'll increase the death rate in a year or two unfortunately.

There was a global 24% spike in roadway deaths? I find that hard to believe. Please provide evidence. In my country we saw a 10% reduction in road deaths through 2020.
41.
by disordinary 5y ago
Not only that, but the covid restrictions have meant that the normal death rate is lower. Because people aren't traveling and commuting the road toll is down, because people are at home and social distancing workplace deaths are down.

I'd imagine the HN crowd cares less than executives at large organisations and government departments. There's a requirements for industries and businesses to either own their own data or keep that data onshored in their jurisdict

When it first launched we talked to the guy who made it (pretty sure it started as a side project) and IIRC it was backed by a relational database with every block being a row and a lot of joins that make up a page. Hopefully they've o

Just a wiki really which is made up of smart blocks. I've used it a couple of times professionally but the companies have usually moved on to something simpler after struggling to get buy in across the team. It can be daunting when you

AOL was a big brand name as a dial up provider right? Why didn't they just move into dsl, cable, fibre, mobile broadband, etc? It seems like they abandoned that business completely and moved into media.

There's a risk vs productivity balance. Most people develop for systems which are connected to the internet and can be updated on demand, in that case it makes sense to "shit out javascript" because we can go back and optimis

I hope Dan doesn't get much hassle or negative feedback from this. As a free service it's always going to be all care and no responsibility and as someone from outside of a major timezone, I find it very useful.

Yes, but at a higher level and less formally than UML. A sequence diagram doesn't need to be ordered in a time sequence like UML, it can be good enough to just articulate and number the flow of information on a normal solution diagram.

Yep, also we're leveraging components that other organisations build more. For instance, we used to build our own messaging systems, now we use open source projects like Kafka. We used to write our own wire protocols, now we use HTTP e

Sure, but the higher level you go the less detail you need. UML gets right down into the weeds, this is where design as code and documentation as code comes into play. Plan at a higher level, execute at a lower.

Yep, they taught us RR in uni in the early 2000s as well, this was in New Zealand.
52.
by disordinary 5y ago
Sure, but you don't have to go as heavy handed as UML. You have to wonder if a visual diagram is the best way to go into detail or should we use other ways of delivering that information? I'd say this is suitable to give to an eng

Sure, but agile is about breaking up work into small chunks and showcasing value in those small chunks. If you're doing it properly you'll be able to look at your velocity and know that you're falling behind schedule. Or, you

The reason we stopped with UML and other front heavy planning methodologies is that what we planned was always wrong. Software projects always used to go massively over budget, were delivered late, and usually didn't meet the customers

I haven't downloaded the demo, but Splink, ELK, SumoLogic, whatever, and even visualisation tools like PowerBI, Tableau, Grafana, etc. are all complicated and need a lot of effort to setup and learn. A lot of businesses rely on excel f

Fair point, I think it depends how you frame it - and it is a fine line between being earnest and sleazy. As a founder you've gotta get comfortable walking it. Here's some feedback after I unearthed your homepage: You say users of

Yeah, but that's where the hustle and salesman instinct of a founder comes in. You've got to include it in a way that feels natural.

The fact that you've got a comment on the front page of hacker news about your products lack of awareness, yet you don't say what the product is or link to it explains a lot. You need to hustle more. This is a huge opportunity to
