   I don't think Best (or Good) will be Free, after a certain tier (e.g AWS only gives a t2.micro for a month (750 hours to be specific)) Most of the cloud providers have some kind of startup program, where they offer free credits to star

   Ask someone from China for an Invitation to WeChat, it shouldn't be the case (Not sure if they have made it mandatory in last few months)

   This was fucking absurd update. My firefox profile was not compatible, and all my extensions were removed (And resynced). I was using Containers to manage all my work/personal/work2 sessions, and they are all gone (Again; first ha

    Update - Container data is lost post addons recovery (I installed Nightly build). This is ridiculous. My Firefox usage will be so unproductive for few days. I had around 6-8 containers for different purpose, and somehow I'm habitual to

    The Container extension is no longer working. I'm logged out of mostly everything. There are few sites I don't want to open without container.

    Is it not similar to how YouTube killed IE6 and Chrome is killing Mozilla Firefox?

    A separate questions. Are their any common practices for recovering the system from message bus failures (such as SQS in your case). Seeing your post made me realize if SQS goes down, a lot of random things will be happening in my applicati

    I also feel that spending a lot of time reading Uber/Netflix blogs (or similar stuff) is not what I should do, for an hour, first thing in the morning.

    Yes, a lot. I feel that I'm doing it more often now. I'm 5-year exp. now, and the unexpected expectation of ensuring that it should be self-sustainable in the future is making me spend more time in even small thing, which is defin
