   I finally read it recently (few months back or so) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. One of the many takeaways for me was how similar the SW world is to the HW one when it comes to actual human being behind engineering -- I guess I shouldn'

   I used to be a big user of dark mode on every site that hd it available. Nowadays I just turn it off. I find it incredibly annoying and I’ve also realised that my eyes don’t hurt as much as I’ve read abou they should. I suppose YMMV

   I have been surprised recently how many competing companies YC have founded recently. I know VCs do this all the time but I still find it a bit strange - not sure how I would’ve felt if the same fund backed my competitor. That said, YC hav

   I don’t thinks its the worst , but it did feel in bad taste. YC have put money and trust in them, so why would they kick them down? Would you? They haven’t committed any crime so why would they distance themselves (Note: I am not a YC foun

   I don’t know enough to say they’ll fail or be successful but I am wondering who will underwrite this IPO — they must have balls of steal and confidence gallore

    This is wonderful, though I wouldnt want to move to Berlin I find this really useful to learn about Germany. I also find it funny because it epitomises how broken the EU is. It should not be this hard to move within the EU, alas, here we ar

    One of the things that hit me when I was picking up Rust was that I felt like it had every imaginable feature one could think of - I dont know if Rust team said no to anything (yes I know they obviously must’ve done) - and yet people wanted

    I would be fine with discovering the existing resources actually, if SI can do that. The reason I mentioned Terraform is because my infrastructure is fully managed by it so I thought that would be the easiest path, but if SI can automagical

    This is a very bold take on Infra management which has become a real PITA even at small orgs - Cloud really did a number on us. One thing I'm personally wondering about is whether I can import my Terraform state file - because that&#x2

    I love this! I wouldn't be surprised if this is the result of the author getting nerd-sniped somehow :-)

    You don't have to agree with [all of] Stephen Fry's opinions in this piece to say this is extraordinary writing.

    Yeah I came here to say that Bryan worked at Sun so why do they even need to write this post (yes, I appreciate the techinical reasons, just wanted to highlight the fact via a subtle dig :-))

    OCI is demonstrably broken as a specification body as demonstrated by the referrers API. Distirbution spec as it is at the moment is just a very poorly written technical doc.

    This is as comical as it would get by Google Cloud. “Unprecedented” event, only it’s happened so many times that at this point stories like these can’t surprise anyone.

    Nice! I've been waiting for this. I've added support for it to my little Go module [1] which has minimum deps and now provides API clients for 5 embeddings providers [1] https://github.com/milosgajdos/go-embe
