People generally travel at daylight hours, so it’s actually about a third of that. And, worse, people generally travel at peak hours. Again, reality.

Seems like opinions about opinions, or so goes my opinion.

Think about what that means as to a practical limit, today. How many cars per day can make that trip assuming they have to recharge once along the way? It’s far from a solved problem even on that route. I love electric cars. I’ve been drawi

Foiling sailboats deal with pretty substantial wave action, including open ocean storms. It’s all in the design. What’s really shocking to me is how slow this ferry is compared with those foiling sailboats which can reach upwards of 90 km&#

Modeling compile-time units was one of the memes of c++ 11. One of many examples: https://benjaminjurke.com/content/articles/2015/compile-time...

Neither. SAM and vanilla CloudFormation are my choice. Don’t get in the way, less fussy and are easier to maintain in the long term.

Okay, so at what value will the Unix timestamp equal the human population? I should start a pool…

I don’t believe the author is advocating for single file systems, but I don’t want to speak for them.

I have to wonder if this is a potential help for Type 1 diabetics, since their melanin levels seem to decrease[1] as a symptom of the disease? [1] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24623500/

Ultimately cameras and line of sight aren’t necessary. Have you seen what’s on the horizon with, for example, wifi sensing?

Not sure how it works with light fabrics. And in direct sun, which kills phones and watches?

Funny you say that, as I just got back from an eye appointment and in my 50s also still have 20/20 vision (after more than 40 years of programming/staring at the screens).

36% of the US workforce? Stopped reading right there. My experience as an employer tells me they are not entirely trustworthy and that kind of absurd claim confirms it IMHO.

I think there is an understanding that more than two consecutive weeks has a bigger impact on peers than less. As much as I dislike it, I have to say “yes” that the bar is higher at two weeks. It’s not a prohibition, but a checkpoint perhap

Folks don’t ask me for permission for time off, they inform me. I ask if they’ve coordinated with their teammates, if that’s appropriate (sometimes it isn't, given a family event or the like, in which case managers and peers coordinate

100% - referencing SaaS is just me being narrow minded. Your example hits close to home for me. I feel that the more creative people (like but not limited to technical folks) can try new things without economic penalties, the more we all be

Thank you, the e-commerce example is definitely something I hadn’t thought about. Having high quality imagery helps make sales but comes at a cost. Looking around at some sites I buy from, I think I can squint and see this “out in plain sig

I’ve just never seen bandwidth be a significant part of the bill for any sass I’ve built/worked for. I’m super curious about this. What kind of sass businesses use huge amounts of bandwdith but don’t provide enough commercial value to

There’s always rate limiting. Cloudfront supports it, API gateway support it, and it’s super easy to set up.

I dropped a jaw at the $1,500 per month for the cluster. My mind says 15,000 Lambdas costs basically zero dollars… until they start getting run/used. I think the key thing was the request rate, or maybe that combined with the raw numbe

Personally, I’d just start generating temporal IDs for all content (user or ad) so there was no way to know what the stream contained w/o something prohibitively expensive on the client side. Permalinks, since they’re necessary would j

Does that mean Slack has implemented, correctly, Gmail’s complicated permission model? Glad I’ve never enabled that integration.

I started programming in 3rd grade when a teacher kept me in during recess because I was being bullied, and was first paid for programming in 7th grade when I ported a program from BASIC to C and used the money to buy my first computer). Si

After a lifetime of programming I feel like I still have a pretty-good “keyboard stamina”. I attribute this to not having any habits, let alone bad ones. Or maybe they’re all bad. I’ll explain. I started programming pretty early, but I didn
