I just use AWS. Probably not the cheapest option, but I know they will not play games with domain sniping or other kinds of nonsense.

Right? It is so silly to cut yourself off at the knees from offering a complete ecosystem. If they really wanted to cut out the riff-raff, low-value customers, and only sell to industry, they could have just 10x the cost. Enough to make pri

Would a five year old Docker image still work? I mean, probably, but for long term maintenance of a build environment, I would feel significantly better with a VM.

Serious question: do we still install lead pipes anywhere? If no, when would be the threshold year where installation started to drop off for various reasons? I have heard that pex plumbing has taken over, but I have no idea if that is only

Winter freezing conditions seem like that could suck out any potential ROI. In freezing temperatures, you would need to drain the system and/or add a heating element to ensure the water does not freeze and burst the outdoor pipes. Warm

Probably expands the API too much, but one missed use case I just ran into would be a .import function for loading a json list of records or jsonl directly into a table from the command line. This can be roughly replicated through readfile

Not sure why a new generation would change anything. It seems like it is homeowners vs non. The millisecond someone acquires property, it is in their financial interest to protect it as an investment.

I could see it cutting both ways. Some people love Musk and assume Tesla is only supported by the sweat of his brow. Others view him as an impediment to making good business decisions. Hard to judge which camp is bigger. On the gripping han

Outside of giving mathematicians a stroke, is that really unreasonable? I kind of like the idea of treating operations more regularly.

Even if there was ambiguity, some data is better than none. Given enough training data, I suspect you could find repeatable patterns in standard typists: on a qwerty layout, after typing an "A", "Q" takes 1.2-2.3x as lon

I do not think it needs to trade blows on performance, just something that can be in the market nipping at the low-mid tier market is an improvement from the current conditions. We are currently in a market with 1.5 suppliers.
