I eat meat, love the taste of it, but would be the first to switch to a plant-based alternative. I know it's tough to acknowledge it, but lots of people like me are a bit hypocrites when it comes to meat: we hate killing animals, but w

I guess I never thought that there is a thing like "picturing a year". A year is a year to me, you have calendars to keep track of appointments and events, but that's pretty much all I see.

Being obtuse wasn't my intention. It's true that some people want something they can run themselves, no question. I was just explaining the value that we currently try to provide and the reasoning behind it.

Well, this is the same discussion as cloud vs on-premises. Sure that you can run your own VPS, install Wordpress, MySQL and all the other jazz, make sure backups are done correctly, maybe even have a load balancer and two servers behind it.

This is something that we've been trying to solve at Podigee for quite a while now. Truth is, it's tough. It's not easy to know exactly how many people have listened (for how long) to a podcast, but you can do some heuristics

[Shameless plug inside] a friend of mine and I have built a podcast hosting platform that is trying to fill exactly that void. We built https://www.podigee.com/en as a podcast hosting platform, batteries included. You just

I am not saying bcrypt is bad. But thruth is, we have to be constantly challenging our assumptions about security and avoid feeling like the battle is "won".

And don't forget, that every 18 months, the amount of processing power you get for a modest price, doubles.

You just need to target certain accounts, no need for all.

How can you say it doesn't scale? You just need to spin up a cluster that is powerful enough to get down to let's say a week. The cost of this would be a joke for a company / institution of a certain size.

Yes, what I meant is that a lot of tooling around those is done in Go.

One important niche I see that Go serves very well is in distributed, fault-tolerant deploy platforms (aka schedulers), like Kubernetes or Mesos. If you look at the amount of tooling that uses Go, you almost feel there just is no other choi

Same experience here. Writing tiny, focused, small footprint services with Go has been a blast. It really has its niche. Especially since learning to write (and read) Go is a matter of hours, more than days (or even weeks).

Once you have tried the HTC Vive, you'll know that any other VR system is already obsolete. Be it because of the experience or the hardware. I would adventure to say that the Vive makes all other systems look ridiculous. My bet is that

I think the article misses the point. Since when do you need to "justify" getting a salary that is above average? I see it as simple as: I wanted X, I was offered X-10%, we settled on X-5%. I don't need to justify anything, t

I think it would be, yes. At least, it would not get into the hands of an external 3rd party (that as we know, lives from selling / using data they gather from people).

In Switzerland, you get unlimited LTE 150mbit/s with no limit & no speed reduction for CHF59 (~ USD60) per month. Just to put it in context, 60 francs in Switzerland is the price of a dinner in a good (but not excellent) restaurant

As a leftie, I feel like it is going to be uncomfortable to use, given that most of the weight of the device sits on the right hand side.

Netflix sold their own series to Sky and didn't offer it to their own customers? I am happy I quit my Netflix account months ago.

You cannot do millions doing that kind of job all by yourself. So I guess that you need a whole company for it, which implies managing people, money, paying salaries, taxes, etc. It's not only "cleaning scratched cds".

I'm curious about how you write "%20", instead of the more common "20%". It's the first time I see it, really. Is there any place in the world where writing the percentage sign before the number is common pract

I wonder if your team considered leveraging Nginx with some good caching policy, for most use cases it should already have everything you need and it'll probably be tough to beat Nginx's performance.

In my opinion, people who complain about Lisp's parentheses are usually the ones that have absolutely no idea about Lisp, nor have they any experience with it. Once you get "into" Lisp, you do not see it as a bunch of parenth
