I have a very cpu intensive application in Rust, that is able to use all cores given to it. I am thinking about going for the Epyc 7502p with 32 cores but having a hard time knowing if the Threadripper counterpart with 32 cores would be bet

As the sole dev in my company, I have spent last few weeks to look at other solutions to DO as well. I can work it out fine as is, it's just that nowadays I am getting more and more security questionnaires sent by customers and it woul

I cycled from NY to SF 2015, with a detour to Chicago. I've done lots of bike touring in other parts of the world, but would say US is one of my top countries for bike touring!

Oh, their DDoS protection was one of the reasons we were thinking about moving away from DO. It is a public facing SaaS API which does not have much traffic in terms of requests, but would be catastrophic to be blackholed. So its that bad?

I tend to get jealous when I see people working with their hands, prefferably outside. Sometimes I even observe the guys cleaning the street and thinks, maybe its not that bad after all? The times I have done such work (like construction) r

Thanks, helps a lot. It is an unsolicited, however we pass all requirements. Is it generally okay asking the company if there is any vendor behind the RFQ (will they really reveal this?)

I cycled through Africa, from Europe, with South Africa as destination ten years ago (took me 9 months). Fascinating continent.

Nice! Would also love if you provided a continent code (like "EU", "NA", ...)

Go out on a cycling tour, cross a continent(s) or just a small tour. You will not regret it.

Fantastic. I also believe we are slaves to the cars, in such a way that we have become blind to the fact how they destroy our societies and people. Most people are so used to the cars that they find it hard we would be happier without them,

Cars have to some extent led us through part of the industrial revolution. However, it's my belief that cars, except from polluting the environment and destroying our cities - makes people unhappy and sad. Visiting LA this summer, I kn
