Yes, I completely agree with your assessment. For this reason, I prefer separating workloads. Cloud providers make this really easy with managed sql and key value datastores. In datacenter there are good options using high availability sto

There’s some interesting ideas in this blog, but also a bunch of weird logic assertions which sound like the type of statements you’d get from somebody trying to sell their thing. In case that wasn’t clear, you can’t containerize

I will not use chrome but I’d love to try your extension. Could you add a way to get a reminder from your team when Firefox or safari support is available?

The best part of this is watching very smart people discover that their highly optimised spreadsheets aren’t anti-fragile.

If only there were some sort of device you could use to determine if the website was a small business. Such as a telephone. Put another way, actual relationships with customers solve this problem trivially.

Based simply on the current “dig up everything we can while it’s still worth something” push from the industry, it’s clear they’re dead in the water with a lot of soon to be stranded assets. Much like the tobacco industry, they have sway..

I'm interested by why you think this. In the scheme of costs of having employees, the software costs are very low.

Taking what others say on board without allowing it to destroy your own confidence and blind indifference to what others think are separate things.

Your company will only purchase macs? Is there no windows option? That would be .. unusual.

Could you please provide a source for this? Java is very fast and 3X slower is a pretty wild claim.

As an example, I have had to purchase a very specific usb-c data cable for my 4K monitor so I can connect my MacBook with one cable. The standard cables which can charge are not able to carry data at the correct rate. At the office, this wa

.. so it’s Apples fault that Android phone makers can’t produce a credible USB-C headphone adapter? Wow. That’s some seriously backwards logic.

What I find fascinating about this is how easy (and simultaneously difficult) it’s going to be for FB and Twitter to copy this. This channel will remove my only remaining use of these platforms.

If Apple was legally obligated to contribute back, they would do so. They have a good history of community contribution (eg. Darwin, WebKit) so I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, instead of some random anonymous internet com

Why should Apple give away their improvements? I’m genuinely curious why you think they should do this.

Why do you equate “elevating the discipline” with “give away the data?”. Are you suggesting Google didnt elevate the discipline of search because their backend is closed?

While I’m sure these companies are trying their hardest to hedge, once their major product (fuel) disappears, they will be nowhere near the size they are today. Imagine these companies at 10% their current size. That’s a LOT of political cl

I’m always curious why folks think acetic practices like sitting in pain and not taking your meds are helpful with meditation. It’s if you think taking an antihistamine is going to screw up your meditation, you’re probably on the wrong path

I don't know; I was particularly looking at color shifting devices and the recommendation was to hold off on the purchase for a few years until the science had a change to settle.

Touchbar doesn’t make sense until you install something like Pock.Dev. After doing that, it’s useful.

Your points are all very handwavy, but to answer. There are good public schools in my district. The state is currently building a huge new high school a block from me to cover upcoming demand. I’ve gotten a bed whenever I’ve needed one in h

Fortunately I don't live in an area with any gardens as I'm in the city centre. I have lived more rural though and leaf blowers and mowers were very annoying. My concern with drones is simply the people density. Its one thing to

I do; I live in the city centre with my apartment facing a back alley. Delivery trucks are often in the back lane left idling with radios blaring. Its one of the reasons I'm moving house.
