You could think about hosting some ready-to-use-software such as https://mailcow.email/ on a VPS. That's an open source Mailserver solution based on docker. Some providers offer VPS with ~TB of storage for ballpark num

My gut feeling: Because it is more difficult. Many people fear the learning curve and better do what everybody else is doing.

Hi Michele! Cool to see you here. You have an amazing website. Very cool stuff, with a good eye for the detail. Maybe the first concurrency to http://acko.net/ which I have seen in years. Keep up!

Cool! I recently participated in developing an IPhone Swift application in Xcode on a MacBook. The IDE is amazingly simple, just click "play" to run an application in a simulator on a connected IPhone. I guess it's not that e

Have you ever heard of APL? You should read this paper "Notation as a tool of thought" http://www.eecg.toronto.edu/~jzhu/csc326/readings/iverson.pd... - it will probably change the way you think of

"Write structured info instead of text logs" is a suggestion which comes up frequently at HN. There's nothing bad at it, the advantages are clear. Nevertheless, text logs are hard to kill because they are dumb easy to impleme

I think you are absolutely fine. Your field won't require fancy bleeding edge math research so you go well with equations developed hundreds of years ago, which can be found in many many textbooks. There are also gazzilions of tutorial

Oh, that was not even my point. You are talking about the possibility of passing data after having paid. I think there is no way to prevent people from doing so -- the industry has decades of years experience with pirated licensed softwar

Interesting decision -- make users to pay for the configuration scripts so their language ecosystem installer works. Basically they pay for their laziness of setting up such a file on their own. I like the honesty that "pirating"

Interesting issue. I think the borders are floating -- if you host your own hardware at your employer, is it still self-hosting? What if you don't have root at a shared server which you share with friends in your local community center

Math and formalism. It helps a lot to develop an idea of the problem. Hold a PhD in physics, so this became quite natural for me.

A CPU hour on a supercomputer is typically in the region of 0.1€ (an effective price taking hardware and energy cost into account). That means your 6000 core one hour job costs 600€. That will be the order of magnitude you will have to pay

This is an academic project. I like that it immediately explains difference to things like LLVM, which first arises in my head. But a concrete example, probably based on webassembly, could help to get acknowledged in the developer world. Or

The question is a bit foolish: "Is [insert softkeyboard application here] basically a key loger?" -- well, the softboard itself is the key generator , if you want. By definition, it has control over all input. By definition it

Well, HTTP was probably not designed for doing well with caches. You certainly know that the first digit of a HTTP response code tells about some grouping, where jt is 4xx (Client Error): The request contains bad syntax or cannot be f
