Man this hits home. I'm a reasonably sized human, but there are almost no devices on the market outside of iPhones where I can reach from bottom right to upper left with 1 hand without shifting the phone around in my hand. I hate it.

This is just wrong. FWIW, I owned a bike, and this is wrong under both "bike" and "non-bike" conditions. If you live directly next to the San Rafael central station, that'd be easiest/fastest. But San Rafael

I already did this. For transparency to others here, here's what happened: I submitted a support request and separately a GDPR request for my information and removal. I let the legal team at Backblaze know what happened as well by e-m

Even worse: I got a sales call from Backblaze a few weeks ago that was an AI voice agent. It seemed super suspicious the way it was talking, so I asked it directly if it was an AI, and it then said yes. I asked it to talk to a real person:

This is so absurd. 1 year ago, I lived in San Rafael (Marin county, Bay Area). I occasionally needed to go to Palo Alto for work meetings. The fastest public transit option was to take a 40 minute bus to Larkspur Landing, then a 30 minute

Yes, already done. Also found the e-mail of their legal/compliance team and e-mailed them. Wanted to let this group know because this sort of thing is an appropriately sensitive topic in this community, which is also directly their tar

There are many different types of antennas, each with different tradeoffs. Some examples of the tradeoffs are: - How well does it work at a specific frequency, if you're just trying to transmit/receive on one specific frequency -

Ah, I now see why: I hadn't really looked at the query, but now that I have, here are some of the problems: 1. Using median is a problem for many projects because many often start off (sometimes for years) with only a few developers be

This is significantly undercounting in at least several cases I know of. e.g. I was employed by Elastic and Kong and in both cases, the number of developers employed by the company to work on these projects was several multiples the size re

This is awesome. I used to build a lot of stuff with various single-board computers (Raspberry Pis, etc) but realized I could get way more performance and expandability with these mini PCs if the form factor didn't require it. One o

My statement here is less that the AGPL doesn't set out to do what it says on the tin (it does) but more that many people launching SaaS companies don't understand what the tin says. Many at least consider AGPL because they belie

Yeah, we hadn't heard of this when our son was born, but the allergist mentioned it. When our daughter was born, we gave her something like this at his recommendation. The ones we got were some puffs that have a whole pile of allergens
