On the other hand, you guys are early on in the authoritarian journey. We shall see a few years down the line if and how things get ugly.

The weird thing is that Firefox has been quick at developing and introducing some features while others did not land for a very long time. If their aim is gaining more Chrome users, I hope a gap analysis was done as well as feature prioriti

Synology seems to have been on the wrong track for a while now: - They completely missed the NVMe transition. The vendor is still very much focused on the HDD world. Yes, NVMe/SSDs in the consumer space don't yet offer the same c

As a Synology user, I don’t just feel a huge letdown by such a short-sighted company but I’m compelled to boycott them. And it’s not about the money but the major lock-in and nonsense decisions. My DS1821+ is full, no more purchases from Sy

Absurd that 2021-2024 saw massively more shootings than 1966-2020 combined. Clearly it’s getting out of hands. What’s the reason behind this huge rise?

I once saw a talk from Brian Kernighan who made a joke about how in three weeks Ken Thompson wrote a text editor, the B compiler, and the skeleton for managing input/output files, which turned out to be UNIX. The joke was that nowadays

Tsmc might be good for the fab business. Broadcom very very bad for everything else. Broadcom historically doesn’t acquire, it kills.

Uber's collaboration with Percona is pretty neat. The fact that they've scaled their operations without relying on Oracle's support is a testament to the expertise and vision of their SRE and SWE teams. Respect!
