There was an interesting piece [1] on the BBC a couple of days ago about research finding exposure to Cyan might help keep us awake. [1] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-44565320

Algolia had a great 8-part series of 'under the hood' blog posts: Part 1: https://blog.algolia.com/inside-the-algolia-engine-part-1-in... No affiliation, just thought they were really interesting.

Ah right, hadn't seen that. Thanks! If the vectordash team are reading, I'd make the nature of the service a bit clearer to potential users. There's no mention I can find outside the 'hosting' page that these aren&#

It might not need to be enforced, but it should probably be encouraged or at least advertised as permissible. There's a horrifyingly large number of workplaces where not responding up to a non-urgent email / IM within an hour or s

I don't mean to say it's a bad idea by any means, just wanted to provide some constructive criticism. I'd say that GDPR's rules around providing purposes for data collection and not bricking services un-necessarily for r

Would these be applied specifically to data collected not for the primary purpose of the product? If such a regulation applied to all the data collected by a device / service, I'm not sure the classes you propose would be a good b

Providing for your family is a perfectly respectable 'mission' in life as far as many people are concerned. Pursuing grand ambitions can take a heavy toll on a family, and it's perfectly sane to choose a more well-travelled p

Is it that it's not considered, or that getting a whole suite of "work nicely together out of the box" tools from a single vendor is looked on as a better option in most cases? Especially when things go wrong, having one cont

Do you need to keep them running constantly? The beauty of platforms like AWS, GCP, ... is that provisioning capacity is just an API call away - so could you not have some way of provisioning those resources on demand to run the necessary t

Totally agree. A few pages of good spec / design docs can save so much wasted effort. Indeed I'd struggle to think of many non-trivial past projects where committing the design to paper hasn't revealed some hidden flaw that w
