There must be some expectation about the rate of share issuance, I think that's what the parent comment is getting at. ESOP pools are well understood (and IIRC defined upfront). Threatening to sell massively discounted shares equivalen

Because he's a near-10% shareholder and accounts like his are a major driver of new account growth. I wonder if this episode has impacted growth or engagement metrics any. Hard to imagine it hasn't

It is a bit like coal mining.. even the default new account experience encourages subscribing to a bunch of spam, when what is needed is mining one seam in that mess containing just the desired content (people). Finding a tight-knit special

Just a suggestion, but please lead with what the company does, not a link to the blog of some engineering micro-bubble. That really gives a bad impression. Many folk here are scanning for companies they want to work for, not tech teams doin

This is an expensive lesson I think everyone gets to learn at some point. There's no such thing as a file worth excluding from a backup, it always fucks you, some (like me) more than others. Have to buy twice as much disk? Fine, at lea

Signal's insistence on doing the wrong thing for 99% of users (storing media blobs in SQLite) drives me crazy. Protect our metadata over the wire, fine, but there is almost no additional protective benefit whatsoever by storing the fil

The BBC article is only talking about generation time, specifically not download time (including linked assets), and we have no idea about dwell time. It only takes a 3G connection a few miles outside a city to add another 500ms to that ope

I upvoted it as a curiosity. The idea of a cultural agenda-signalling bot loose on GitHub actively breaking code and documentation sparks quite a few feelings. Some questions arise, such as whether or not any of the projects receiving contr

Given Victoria Metrics is the only solution I've seen to make data comparing it to other systems easily accessible as part of official documentation, it's the only one I pay attention to. I knew from reading the docs what VM excel

Thanks. It seems extremely reminiscent of e.g. the Cobalt RaQ ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt_RaQ ), but maybe "AWS Outposts for the rest of us" might be a more suitable contemporary parallel

Can anyone explain Oxide's product beyond the (fairly terrible IMHO) site? Seems like some kind of prepackaged VMware-alike including rack + hardware + networking fused into a single uncustomizable product? What is the intended applica
