I’ve come across that as well, but in presentations. I think it is either Alan Kay or Bob Martin who likes to use the statistic. I recall it being framed in terms of the growth of tech/programming as a profession: it’s doubled every 5

The price (that consumers are willing to pay) is the only decent proxy for quality we have. Quality, of course, includes consumers’ preferences. If the one car sells at a market price of 1/5 of another, then the only reasonable conclus

I don’t think that you’re correct about US O&G revenue. The US produces 13M barrels of crude and condensate per day: https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61545 The lowest recent spot price is $69.5: htt

I'll probably come across as a shill here, but there is a lot going on with SQL Server, all included in your license (Standard Edition has limitations on scaling). Some of these things are merely passable, some are great, but it's

If you are looking at a link you want to follow, you press a single hotkey (default 'f'), and just type the two letters that appear directly where you're looking. If you want to open a lot of links in the background, e.g. if

I had a database of all SSNs for a while, but it was on a work laptop, so I didn't get to keep it.

We have a process monitor that basically polls ps output and writes it to JSON. We see ~30:1 compression using zstd on a ZFS dataset that stores these logs. I laugh every time I see it.

Any reason not to run SSH on localhost only? This way there would be no network requirement whatsoever. I am not trying to criticize, but am just curious what you gain by having this access split across two machines?

Windows runs in more places than it probably should. And the OS is just fine on other platforms. Windows on ARM works quite well. As I understand it, it worked just fine on Itanium. NT launched with support for PowerPC. I'm sure RISC-V

AWS was the first mover, and they execute very well on products. Despite this, AWS market share has been pretty flat for a while. Azure was a second mover. Microsoft executes on platform and partner ecosystem very well. Azure is still growi

See my sibling comment. Windows Server dominates server OS revenue share at ~70%. They get most of the money that people are willing to spend on server OSes.

Bing Ads is big business. Digital marketing is enormous . Google and Facebook have larger portions of the pie, but a sliver of a huge pie is still a lot of pie.

Units of measure in F# are useful for more than unit conversion workloads. They are compile-time type information with no runtime overhead. So if you're using a lot of interrelated arrays, you can make a unit of measure for indices int
