Android as a platform definitely supports only downloading the image assets etc relevant for your specific device - whether applications are taking advantage of this is a different question https://developer.android.com/guid

I like the premise, but why scale by 36m - wouldn't per capita/~350m make more sense?

The transaction is written to the write ahead log and fsync'd before the client is told OK. It may not have made it to the table storage on disk yet (but will be in memory), but if there's a crash the WAL can be replayed to recove

I've found firejail to be a useful tool for this ( https://github.com/netblue30/firejail ), and additionally use opensnitch ( https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch ) to monitor for unexpected

Someone else mentioned sabre-tooth, I'd love for someone to figure out a way to revive the Moa - much more recently extinct, so maybe easier? (Though perhaps harder due to the climate being less amenable to preserving DNA) https:&#x2F

It's great to see this change in direction. I had the opportunity to drive a Tesla recently, and I was pretty blown away by how hostile the ux was. Even the indicator stalk has no tactile feedback leading to me indicating left then rig

I actually prefer the RUM model. The previous "per apply" based model penalized early stage companies when your infrastructure is rapidly evolving, and discouraged splitting state into smaller workspaces/making smaller iterat

I didn't actually realize that AWS supported this, I thought Azure was the only one offering it ( https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-confidential-co... ) Are you speaking of this functionality? https

This is an interesting take, because whilst I agree, generally what I've heard from the market is "we want an app not a web app/pwa" Whilst I'd rather not have to install <random overly specific app> to go t

I've been thinking about this a bit, and am also interested in others views of this. Increasingly I think the way to increase your chances of success is to pick a problem space that applies to both large and small businesses, and forge

The point about holidays resonates with me. Our setup you get paid extra for being on-call for a public holiday, but given we do Mon-Mon shifts in practice that means two people can't take advantage of a long weekend and only one of th

That makes sense, but simply isn't viable cost wise IMO if you're trying to bootstrap a side project - until you have your first users and a sense that you have something people are willing to pay for, spending thousands on compli

There's a number of threads here about privacy/security concerns. I'm curious what should be the bar for grassroots/bootstrapped projects like this? Having recently taken a company through ISO 27001:2022 it's a pret

Yeah exactly, and I'll take a JSON(B) column over TEXT with maybe valid serialised JSON, maybe RON, maybe something completely random any day

Unless I'm mistaken table inheritance is still a thing in current PG versions, in terms of partitioning at least it's just less commonly used in favour of declarative partitioning since it's easier to manage. It's been a

Last time I tried (probably well over 10 years ago) I struggled more with how long stuff took to compile. The main learning I remember from it was the chroot concept, which then later helped me grasp containerization easier

Are you sure? I never make bets over £20 or so, but my understanding is if I hit it big there's no tax to worry about - this source seems to agree, unless you're a professional gambler which somewhat makes sense https:/&#x2F
