I want to use Fly, not Heroku. But Fly just doesn't seem to live up to my expectations right now :( I understand that you believe your competitive advantages stem from the edge server deployments. Sure that may be true for certain serv

Fly.io doesn't track Heroku buildpacks nor does it recommend buildpacks as a first class workflow. Buildpacks are very underdocumented. The official tutorial and guides pushes Docker as the "preferred" workflow. Docker is nic

It's easy for them to paint a rosy picture when they are all high-profile tenured scientists without a worry career wise. Bad sampling. It is as good as asking Jeff Bezos's opinion about the benefits of a warehouse job. Bill Gates

I don't think you understand what it means to burn all bridges. He is literally unhireable right now in any corporate context. You are naive if you believe he is doing this out of some hacker ethos.

There's a simpler explanation. He is doing this for profit. I don't buy all the speculation that he approached the SEC out of some professional obligation or simply to spite the Twitter leadership. As a former executive he most li

My japanophile colleague called it the "Konoha One Thousand Years of Death", apparently it's from a ninja TV show.

Ridiculous. Just walk around the Bay area and see for yourself.

You can probably do memory mapped I/O if you use a modern cable and hardware like Thunderbolt.

Do elaborate. The most funky differential I know comes from EE's Maxwell eqns (how capacitors work, and weird ideas about "ground").

Religion is used to keep the masses in check but the elites are free to drink and womanize as much as they want.

We don't need to wait for CloudFlare to ship their D2! Just plonk this on Firecracker and you are good to go.

The reason they are failing is because they are slow ass and never modernized. Now they are primarily tourist traps. SF is a bad example of a city with street cars, there are many countries with much better implementations of street cars. Y

He is from an upper middle class family at the minimum. Hardware projects at his scale is not exactly a low cost expenditure, even with AliExpress and cheap Asian parts of questionable quality. I doubt he even needs the winnings to pay tuit
