This outage made me realize that github is served over a single IP address (A record) for my point of origin (India). Stackoverflow has 4 A record listing, but all of these belong to fastly. The internet is designed for redundancy. Wonder w

I have been reading the "The Manager's Path" by the author of this post and for someone transitioning from a pure technical role to a semi-technical role I found it really insightful. For me, the human aspect of building tech

If this works, Microsoft is going to hit a long-term retention jackpot. Low-code ecosystems are sticky and excel in ARR as their model is usually consumption based. Moving away costs companies millions. Every employee is automating their wo

I have a side project successfully utilising Firebase auth. But do understand that this is a “sticky” approach. Moving away (for whatever reasons) is difficult. You want to have a clear migration strategy if you opt for 3rd party auth mecha

This guy has a video on India. And as an Indian, it gave me fresh perspective on my own country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPne-q4ynts Spoiler alert: not at all positive.

Because building a cloud city isn't not end of the problem (and not a small one in itself). Sustaining a cloud city is very difficult. Terraforming Mars is being considered for the fact that it could be a near permanent solution.

The first point falls flat. It is as good as saying, earlier you could steal data, now you have to ask and respect consent. Second may have some ground. But does seem shallow once you consider that in order to support small business you are

Digital currency is no different that what already exists in terms of digital representation of one's holding. Really curious to see how the tax payer is going to pay for a glorified database and what value is derived from it.

Being light-weight won it for me. And the hassle free setup to use the same disk on both environments.

If this is just a matter of revoked certificates, Apple could very easily setup a subscription for developer certificates on the machine when an app is installed. Why wait to check if a certificate is revoked once an app is launched?

I think everyone has their own preference to learn but I second this recommendation. Videos work well to have a friendly face explain how things work and get interest generated, but if you intend to level up your programming skill you are b

Interesting. I wonder if a $1000/month insurance linked to a customer's subscription would be enough to provide a 1000x cover? Essential proving that the risk quotient is < 1/1000 subscriptions. Such an offering by a cloud

Maybe because it is a slippery slope. "My humorous jab beats yours" attitude ends up derailing conversations and creating noise. I like how r/ELI5 handles this by ensuring that top level comments are always serious answers.

I always wonder if there is value in extending the HTML spec to include contracts in webpages for 3rd party calls. Might help enforce a domain level policy by a domain owner making sure content creators have to oblige. Exactly the reverse o
