Let's see... you're proposing that a company should just hand out their competitive advantage just because some parents are unable to curb their consumerism / keeping up with the Jonesses an dealing with "psychology in

How did you find the migration? Lightroom -> Capture One was an upgrade. Even when the learning curve is taken into account, I found C1 to be superior piece of software. It's faster, its color editing is better, and the default lo

Apparently they're doing pretty well. Don't expect them to change course. But this created the opportunity for others. I have migrated to Affinity photo + Capture One. No regrets.

Second, taxes don't disappear into nothingness - they pay for civilization. It is clearly beneficial to everyone to live in a society where people are well cared for and have healthcare, public education, welfare, etc. Or, and that&#

I used to work at Mailgun. Believe me, there's a lot more to getting your mail delivered. Simply configuring DNS stopped being enough maybe around 2006-08.

The answer sits on the 4th page: We have increased the percentage of our revenue from segments which we believe benefit from attractive growth dynamics. In 2019, over 85% of our revenues came from our Multicloud Services and Apps & Cro

I do not know how you're doing it, but I just ran quite a few searches for obscure film photography and chemistry topics and the results were much better than DDG and less commercialized than Google. Very impressive!

Analogy != "something different entirely". If we accept such weak criteria for acceptable arguments, one could argue for or against anything by picking a convenient "analogy". Pointing out that a weakened encryption is a

While I fully support strong privacy & encryption, there is absolutely no logic in this argument because it tries to build upon an unrelated hypothetical. A stronger argument should have tried to explain how this violates the constituti

You were pre-conditioned to believe that it's a feature. Traditionally, datacenter itself is supposed to provide HA for both the power and the network. "Availability zones" exist for AWS convenience, not for yours. It allows

That is an extremely misleading figure. Shared memory is page-aligned entire libraries dropped into RAM First of all, I seriously doubt it (haven't looked closely, but if library-loading is similar to mmap, it should only count actua

Run htop or similar, sort by "shared memory" column and see how much more memory you'd need per process if shared linking did not exist. I think the author's using a wrong method to make a point. Dynamic linking feels ou

When I ask Mac-loving developers, why they chose to run MacOS when developing non-MacOS software, they used to give me good reasons. I think their reasoning is no longer valid. The hardware has gotten worse (keyboard, touchbar), the OS has

Microservice has no new meaning (although a few content marketing teams may disagree). It's just a process with an input and output. Building applications consisting of multiple processes has been possible since forever. I would even a

I wanted to make a similar point with piping UNIX commands. I can think of two reasons why the degradation happened: 1. Expansion of the software universe. Back in VB6 times, there were fewer programmers but many languages. Reusing componen

I think you answered your own question. The reason for server chips to use better silicon is to generate less heat (and consume less power) at the same frequency. Server operators (unlike desktop users) are more concerned with non-idle powe

Agreed, that's why I said that game_the0ry is making some good points, monopoly for content delivery is not good (it leads to control, not just delivery). I am just not comfortable with seeing Google as a lesser threat.
