I see what you're saying but I have to push back. "If one thing I need is going to be down, everything might as well be down." If I have a product with 5 dependencies and one of them is down, there's things I can do to p

The problem is creating a single point of failure. There's no doubt a VM in AWS is exponentially more redundant than my VM running on a couple of Intel NUCs in my closet. The difference is, when I have a major outage, my blog goes down

If you have worked with HCL in any serious capacity, you'll be happy they didn't go that route. Here's some fun examples to see why HCL sucks: - Create an if/elseif/else statement - Do anything remotely complex with

I don't think that email he posted from legal@google.com is legit. Look at the first sentence of the first paragraph and the first sentence in the second paragraph. Two grammar errors which are a dead giveaway it's fraudulent. &gt

> healthy food should be more affordable and readily available I think there's more than one way to achieve that. It doesn't have to be bans or subsidies. A lot of it has to do with education and competition. Unfortunately, the

I don't know if this is a good place for feature requests, but the only thing keeping me from switching to this at at the moment is download settings per podcast. For example, some podcasts I don't want to miss an episode and I wa

I feel this very deeply. At the same time, I feel shame for feeling this way. I have a very high paying job, excellent flexibility, and I work from home. It doesn't get much better. Except that when I sit down at the computer, the actu

I've used craftcloud for these types of one offs before. It's a pretty great service in my experience. If you go that route, you can use my referral code REFOUSPW7TK for 10% off. Totally optional. https://craftcloud3d.c

Looks solid. Side note: why do these open source alternatives always have such terrible names?

I'm wondering how they're determining a correct answer. I know, for sure, that one of my answers was correct but it was marked incorrect. I'm wondering if I need to include specific keywords in my answer? How detailed do I ne

Not much to contribute other than "this is great." It's one of those things I didn't know I wanted until I read your article.

My rice cooker switches to "keep warm" mode once it's done cooking. I think most do this. Is the drop in power consumption significant enough to reliably know when its done?

Off one hype train and onto the next. In all honesty, I think local, LLM driven Siri would be a complete game changer and their efforts are much better spent here.

So they want $2k/month per cluster. It's the exact same open source product. No support is included. Even the smallest shops have at least 2 clusters. They want almost 5k a month to download an image from their private container r

If the phone is functional (as in you can access the Settings app), you can factory reset from the phone, as well. You can also remote wipe from Find My if need be.

I smoked all throughout my teens and twenties. Once I hit my 30s, smoking would give me insane anxiety and, occasionally, full blown panic attacks. Obviously, this is very anecdotal and may have to do with other factors in my life (increase

This is my problem as well. I try to use context clues from pictures and reviews but often I can only find out once the product is delivered and in my hands.

This is why nothing is going to "collapse." There are so many people in your position just wanting to buy the second prices start to fall a little. That will prevent any type of serious collapse and it will be more of a minor corr

This is the rub right here. Huge mental overhead that is often not mentioned. Not only the potential for great consequence (think errant deployment in AWS S3 that takes out an entire region and costs the company millions), but the requireme

I'm just saying, compare what you're making to the average person your age. Take into account the amount of debt that comes along with some of the professions requiring extensive schooling. Also consider the conditions and work li
