I don't know if most Rust programmers would be happy with any fast and loose features making it into the official Rust compiler. Besides, algorithms that benefit from -ffast-math can be implemented in C and with Rust bindings automatic

If you want to post on OnlyFans, you have to verify your account with a government-issued photo ID. I imagine this requirement makes OnlyFans a very unattractive website for child pornographers and other people guilty of federal crimes.

Sentry is very easy to self-host[1] on a single node with Docker Compose. They make it a little tricky to self-host with multiple nodes, but I assume their SaaS product can scale indefinitely. I can't think of anything easier for error

I wrote https://provose.com/ so I could quickly set up databases, containers, and filesystems on AWS. I wrote Provose because I needed to deploy a ton of infrastructure to AWS as a solo developer, but I could not afford to

You will need a very tiny font size to fit all of those terms on one page. But here are some thoughts from me that might help: 1. The industry-standard startup vesting schedule is over a 4-year term with a 1-year cliff. Document processors

This article is classic bait for the Hacker News audience, submitted by HN user "codedaddy" whose account was just created 2 hours ago to submit this post. The entire point of this article is to make us all mad. Let's not be

I founded a company where we train a lot of machine learning models on music. We aren't quite at AssemblyAI's scale yet, but here is how I built my company's first on-premise GPU cluster to get us started: 1. Purchase GPU ma

I found both CloudFormation and Terraform's AWS provider to be too verbose for quickly spinning up a lot of infrastructure as a startup. So I ended up creating https://provose.com/ own high-level wrapper for Terraform&

I am very happy with AWS Aurora PostgreSQL. I feel safe that my company's data is kept there, and the surrounding UX and tooling is to my satisfaction. I also don't see the point of mentioning Jeff Bezos's other investments.

If you want to apply through the standard recruiting process, it might be better if you waited 3 to 12 months after your previous interview before reapplying. Most Big Tech companies have a waiting period--either informal or formal--before

We're talking about a twelve-year-old kid. I think it is common for a child of his age to follow his parents' instructions. In many societies, it is common for kids to get some additional independence roughly around age thirteen,

I believe in the Terraform way of doing things. A lot of other people dislike the Terraform language, and then they use Pulumi because it allows them to write infrastructure in Python or JavaScript. But I specifically DO NOT WANT my company

I like to use Python with PyInstaller[1], but it results in fairly large binaries with a relatively slow startup time. When binary size and startup speed matters, then I use Go instead. Finally, sometimes I just write in Bash anyway, even t

I cannot know what your colleague truly meant, but there are many more explanations than the two that you mentioned. She may simply have offered to do the task out of kindness to you--not out of a belief in her own inferiority. Alternativel

Ansible comes with an ecosystem of collections and playbooks to help configure software. A lot of this configuration is hard to describe in Terraform's declarative way and the Terraform ecosystem generally avoids it.
