Personally I use DigitalOcean for this sort of thing. But this is why AWS has Lightsail https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/ to service that use case and then let people upgrade later to full AWS.

This. The major reason why I live in SOMA, and put up with all the significant downsides of that neighborhood, is because it means my commute is very short. It also means I have significant job and networking opportunities within a 30 minut

I had several friends and coworkers end up in this situation. Lucky for me, I started late enough that my options were underwater before my first year cliff and stayed that way...

If you’ve vested any, which is usually 25% after the first year, and then monthly for the next 3 years. You get to keep those shares if you can buy them at your strike price. If you get laid off, you may only have 90 days to exercise (buy)

The thing I realized about OpenBSD is it’s made by and for the developers. They are going to do what works for them and fits their priorities. Not what works for the widest possible audience.

OpenBSD only supports 802.11n currently. From what I've read, not having direct knowledge, 802.11ac is much more complex to implement and no one is currently working on it. That said, I just ran a speed test on my Thinkpad and got 50Mb

If you hadn't seen it, you may find this recent discussion about sysupgrade informative: https://marc.info/?t=156851721400002&r=1&w=2 And yeah, you're right, even light criticism on the OpenBSD lists is me

You can also do sysupgrade -s to follow current snapshots, and then you get a rolling release OpenBSD without build world.

First, I don’t have my teams do daily stand ups. But in the rare times that I have, it’s mostly because the team tends to get pulled in a lot of directions, and the standup is a reminder to focus. There is usually a larger organizational is

Back in the 2011-2012 era of Square, Brian would often opine at length about our products, our strategy, etc. He'd write as if he had some sort of inside information and was a serious authority on the subject. Anytime he'd make a

1) you make some good points. 2) I think you could make them without jumping to conclusions about what I believe, and without assigning intent that isn't there. But let me try to clarify my point. I'm not saying that YouTube doesn

And you do need it, Zoom has a penchant for eating through battery!

Insidious and evil? that's a pretty strong value judgement. Could you explain more?

Lets keep in mind that YouTube has been around for 14 years... In societal terms that's a relatively short amount of time to have a free platform where anyone can post their ideas, no matter how crazy or toxic. Before that, you could b

This is what we do in our office. We use airplay or a Zoom screen share. Plugging in is a last resort. I never have to do that.

I had that same year G35, I remember it having far too many buttons on the dash. The flip side of everyone arguing that buttons and knobs are better. IIRC it has this really tedious dial to use the GPS, but you could raise and lower the GPS

I just got a 2019 Volvo V60 and it has a HUD. It’s somewhat customizable, and displays the current speed limit, your speed, an optional warning if you’re following too close, and even GPS nav instructions. Pretty nice. The car does also hav

I suspect trade unions are most concerned with the short to medium term interests of their current members. And less so with the interest of the greater public. In this case they likely want a pay check for their members. This is just my op

I guess I should have provided more context. It was in context of talking about a rewrite into another language to make something more maintainable and performant. To explain how hard that was to get right, and that if we messed it up, cust

Yeah, good point. We're doing a fair amount of JavaScript (Node) -> Go.

I'm reminded of something a smart engineer said at work today. "Our customers don't care how we implement the system, they just care that it works"

I think you're right regarding x86 performance being a huge factor. Also my own experience, admining a number of Solaris systems in those days, I just found it more frustrating to use. The first thing I would do was put GNU userland on

Just as a side note here, Google is doing Kubernetes as a commoditize your compliment strategy ( https://www.gwern.net/Complement ) so they can sell other cloud compute services. This makes it easier for people to migrate the

Java -> Go? Not so much in the language design inspired by sense, but I see a lot of Go being used in places that were previously Java. K8s was originally written in Java. Personally very happy to operate fewer Java services...

This is exactly why AWS has relatively low default account limits, and you have to open a support ticket to raise them. It's largely to prevent run-away costs from surprising the customer.

I recently switched to Fastmail and am very happy with it. Was on Gmail / G Suite since 2007.

This is what finally prompted me to move to Fastmail after being on G Suite since 2007. Even though I have to pay for Fastmail and was grandfathered into free on G Suite. Pretty happy with it so far. Now going through the process of reducin
