Can you get customers? If so, then enter the market. The technology is irrelevant; what matters is how you acquire customers, paying or not.

Exactly. This difference makes it easier to (1)understand how IAM works, and (2) how the s3 works...because IAM and S3 work together, but in a different way than the other services. I heard that AA is done via asics, but resource-level perm

When we go to the CCF we plan on having it for lunch/dinner the next day. The portions are so large that if we plan on getting a cheesecake we order it so it comes after the meal. We actually don't like the cheesecakes so much; I

What most people don't realize is that the magic isn't in handling the system itself; the magic is making authorization appear to be zero-cost. In distributed systems authorization is incredibly difficult. At the scale of AWS it m

MacOS has been virtualizable in x86 since mac-on-x86 was released. It also is engineered for development. Maybe not your particular type of development. Apple silicon isn't technically development-unfriendly, it's just apple silic

Real monsters today? Child services people who turn a blind eye to abuse and let kids die because it's too much work to deal with it. Your neighbors who assault and beat their kids. And of course the hundreds of millions who oppress ot

Without money your startup is DOA. Without customers your company is DOA. Can you get customers and money without the other guy? If so, then they other guy is an employee. The world is littered with good products that didn't sell. But

You will have to include extra costs. They will probably require a dedicated support team, or at least a TAM (technical account manager) and an account executive. 24x7 might be required, depending on their time zones/locations. What ab

In most countries only the rich can buy homes. So yes your statement is true, because most people can never buy a home so there's no loan involvement at all. But I'm pretty sure that's not what you wanted to say.

El Salvador shows that the classic Western idea of civil rights has problems in certain societies. Example: the judicial system only works if there are people willing to testify and judge. And of course there must be evidence. Without those

I put esxi on my old 5,1 that had 64gb of ram and used it for a test hadoop cluster. I also had like 8 macpro 1,1 and 3,1s as nodes. Now i use an old thinkcenter with 128gb or 192g. of ram as my main testbed. Back in the day I ran a bunch o

VirtualBox supports it, as does VMWare Player. There's a VirtualBox build for Apple Silicon, which might do the right thing.

There are lifestyle businesses, and there are scale businesses. The author is conflating the two. The fact is, getting customers is the hardest part of any business. Unless you're capital-intensive, that VC money is going into customer

I worked with what was arguably the first large-scale CORBA product (IBM/Tivoli's TME10 product). The main problem with COBRA was speed. At the time, authentication was brutally slow...and there was a separate problem with figurin

I'm sure there are developers who are like "wow, the quality of my code sucks in this language." But I'm not sure where they work and what they do.

I've always said that maintenance workers are the weakest link in any system. Not sure why people are letting them off the hook. They're not supposed to use their brains, as they will always do the wrong thing. When they run into

I think focused communities are where it's at. Why? Because focused communities have needs that aren't served via general-purpose platforms like Facebook. Example: Running communities tend to want to share their runs. Facebook is

The current startup is using notion and GitHub. Github is a POS when it comes to bug tracking. Notion is pretty good. It's somehow different and more annoying than Confluence, but faster. Jira/Confluence IMO is pretty good, but pe

In Java, threads that are accessing non synchronized variables can read different information. It's in the jvm spec, and was a surprise back then. In C you could assume (at least in some runtimes) that you only need to sync on write.

The problem with developers writing documentation is that they generally have too narrow of a view of things. Here's an artificial example: "Added a setting which allows you to change the size of a boba." It doesn't answ

The problem with data masking is that you don't know what data is important. Want to see if there's a geo cluster? Oh sorry, there's no location data. Do you want to see if something affects age band 12-14 instead of 16-18? S

I thought this was pretty well-known. Adobe has been running their own VM engine for a long time now. I'm not sure which Photoshop first shipped with it, but given how pretty much everyone in prepress used it it's likely since at
