If you care, Snowflake launched a product called Openflow less than a month ago. Yours will probably be very difficult to discover.

I had a surgery once upon a time on my non-dominant arm which left me in a one-handed typing state for a couple of months. I simply used one hand on a full size keyboard. My typing speed went through the floor, but it was doable. I doubt I

There was a miscommunication here. Large companies don't want to deal with small companies since it's high effort to go through the whole procurement process that generally takes months. The small companies I've worked at wer

Most companies don't want what you want. They don't want to sign 50 different contracts with 50 different vendors and have to do due diligence on all of them. They don't want to negotiate rates with all of those companies eve

This is a pretty incomplete comparison. It only seems to be for real-time non-stored use cases and doesn't even include AWS or the US Census Bureau's free API.

Throw them all out other than the 10 or 20 that are still technologically relevant (USB-C, HDMI, etc.). Next time you need one, buy one for $5 on eBay. You get all your storage space and time you’re going to spend on this back and all it co

I'm also a manager and came here to say the same thing. Senior is a terminal level at plenty of mature companies. If you're in the startup world, you'll probably face big pressure to take on a Staff+ or manager title, but you

Firefox works great with dozens of open tabs. The only thing Chrome has going for it is tab groups. Firefox has Tab Style Tree, which is a decent substitute.

I've been daily driving Firefox for several years. Everything I use on a daily basis works fine on FF, but every now and then you come across some random site that doesn't load or loads poorly.

I used Starlink for 2 months after the hurricanes last year. If it's the only broadband you can get, it's obviously better than dial up, but it isn't very good compared to any modern wire based services. The bandwidth rises a

They really need someone in marketing. If the model is for technical stuff, then call it the technical model. How is anyone supposed to know what these model names mean? The only page of theirs attempting to explain this is a total disaster

US enters recession in Q1 2025. There's no "soft landing". The correlation between federal interest rate cuts and recessions perfectly predicts this.

How many hours of labor does that take every month you failover? What about hot hard drive spares? Do you want networking redundancy? How about data backups? Second set of hot servers in another physical data center? All of that costs money

Are you going to risk your entire business over "probably never get a hardware failure" that, if it hits, might result in days of downtime to resolve? I wouldn't.

It sounds like you are part of a pretty small business given that you're an engineer who knows his customers by name. It may very well be completely acceptable to your customers to have extended downtime, or a button that disappears du

I've worked full time remote for over a decade, with most of that as an IC but several years in management as well. It really depends on who the teammates are in the quote. You can definitely get more focus work done in a quiet environ
