I upgraded to 64 GB of RAM and now my average usage is around ~40% so hopefully I will be able to live with that for some time. Browsers, VSCode and other webapps and Electrons are using crazy amounts of memory. But... RAM is cheap now so w

I like Vim better because it's easier for me to press one key to do an action or write :command. I can also use Vim on the mobile (Termux and other terminals). Having to press CTRL+A CTRL+whatever doesn't make sense IMO.

Google Cloud Console felt slow to me too. And the user experience could sometimes be better too. For example: I set filters in a table of items, clicked many times to Next to paginate on the 10th page. Then I accidentally clicked on an item

Or you can SSH to the server and read it from http://localhost (if you have access). But there can still be malicious software running, intercepting syscalls or your localhost domain can point to a malicious IP. :/ Software

The gold standard ended in 1975. Since then, we have "virtual money", which are effectively made out of thin air at the time a bank borrows them to someone. Once they started this system there is probably no way back. But what eff

It's like installing anti-cheating rootkit to windows kernel. It's like recording your voice, taking retina scan, requiring you to take off your clothes and bugging a GPS device on you before swiping a card in a physical shop. How

Price is per barel. Although o e contract consists of 1000 barells. So the price is $1 for the future but you would have to pay $1000 to buy one contract. It is similar with options, alyhogh 100 pcs is standard there.

They are designing more for eye candy, less for usability. For example it is common to have gray text on white background, hard to read. Black themes for programming IDEs often have dark gray background, reducing contrast. Scrollbars are no

In my opinion C is good as it is. C++ is terrible complicated mess, always have been and adding more and more "modern" functionality isn't helping it much. There are great standard functions, e.g. for strings in C, whereas it

I am quite surprised MySQL or MariaDB is not mentioned more. It seems like a standard to me. Almost every serious software supports it. Of course it doesn't have some extra features like GIS but for generic RDB it performs well. And th

It looks like they failed miserably on capacity planning. I thought that those three major clouds are that ridiculously expensive (egress cost, huh?!) just because of guarantees of the capacity and service availability but that seems to be

EDIT: As almostdigital mentioned here, Scaleway supports Kubernetes, their load balancing works the way it should, based in EU (France) and pricing is very nice!

Thanks for this! I've looked at Scaleway and so far I like it a lot, this looks like the end of my months of suffering. It seems to fit my needs perfectly. Finally a smaller cloud provider doing it right!

Egress costs at those major clouds are ridiculous. Once you start having some traffic it can easily make 50% of all costs or more. That is not justifiable! Meanwhile hardware costs are going down. We need more k8s providers with more resona
