They had something like 50 employees didn't they? Back of napkin I'd say probably around $10,000,000 for employee packages. Multiple that by 3-5x for total operating costs and I'd speculate they'd need $30-50m to break e

Go Cassandra... Elasticsearch is a pain in the arse. I have yet to meet someone who has confidence in it at as primary store of data except with the lightest of workloads.

Better approach in my mind is to develop vaccines. Last I checked marriage is by no means an STI preventing form of contraception so I think you mean monogamous relationship. As many people are in happy monogamous relationships with no inte

Will need to look at that! I've disabled JS ever since the spectre/meltdown CVE announcement and only enabled it for a select few sites. Now if I hit a SPA site I just close the browser tab unless it's something I really need

I've spoken to some folks that worked in the VPN provider industry... many of them aren't the bastion of consumer protection they claim/are perceived to be. With the exception of Tor (and even that has been found to have prob

Found out via Twitter you can also use 1.0.0.1 which is another of their resolvers and works for me in Argentina. Although 1.1.1.1 is accessible for me know so I suspect it was a propagation issue.

I know some authors it sounds similarly poor from their perspective as well.

I think you could've just as easily stated. "Huh interesting what are the downsides?" Suppose that would admit not knowing something... certainly not something we should be encouraging!

DRY as a concept needs to have better bounding. I think it's counter productive in many instances. (Albeit highly useful in others.) I've observed discussions with people citing it becomes particularly pathological when DRY is emp

Genuine question with everything happening in Intel land these days I've turned off JS except for a select few websites. Seems like an interesting project though.

I think there's 2 primary motivations for acquisition; 1. purchase for innovation. 2. market control. I think the latter is what people squawk about the most. Employees of the acquired will always find it uncomfortable. Small companies

All I can say is readability is subjective. Hiccup is used quite extensively with Clojure/ClojureScript. Clojure for HTML rendering and ClojureScript as an alternative to JSX for Reagent. For people that enjoy Lisps I think it's p

I don't think it's a straight-forward decision and is influenced by a number of things; 1. desired time to market. 2. operating cost. 3. people cost. If you're dealing at that level of traffic you're not going to go brok

If you're on AWS I would probably go with DynamoDB, if you're on GCP Datastore. They aren't drop-in replacements for one another but the way you architect your system will be similar(ish). The main benefit is that it'll

It doesn't if you're in the AR/VR or Video game space. It'll tend to be Windows centric. Server side stuff might be Linux but as you've alluded the client development will target Windows (e.g. HoloLens SDK requires

TLDR; 1. Start-ups love OSS. OSS loves NIX. 2. Mac's just work (mostly). 3. Cult of Apple. 1. OSS is generally free. Windows software, esp. on the server side, tends not to be. For a start-up it means you might need to invest some swe

I wouldn't say that it's doomed to failure but I do think it has a lot of ground to cover to catch-up. Google has a lot of great technology like TensorFlow, Kubernetes, and Go that will keep them relevant. In support of my flippan
