This isn’t even the largest battle so far; the battle of M2- in 2020 December happened in the current galactic ongoing war where 257 titans were destroyed. Since then, GoonSwarm (formerly the alliance of CFC with NC) is now cornered in a si

I don't think there's anything wrong with this. The correct answer is not always "outsource to AWS"; dependence on AWS (and any external dependency, especially those you have to pay for) is also tech debt. Everything you

The form factor of the RasPi is a large selling point for me, and to have more than 1tb, it’s nice to see an option that doesn’t involve a cable or dongle plugged out of the side of the case next to the NIC port. I’m excited to try using th

A better model is certification. Make the rules public, and when you want to sell your product, you must pay a standards agency to put their logo on your product.

Very much so. In my experience with nightly jobs in a corporate setting, the more often something happens, the more likely you are to catch an upstream dependency that breaks it. The sooner you catch that breakage, the easier it is to get t

I wrote this library: https://www.npmjs.com/package/openskill It's open-license, handles complex matchups (e.g. 5 vs. 3 vs. 4), comparable in predictive accuracy, and is up to 20x faster than TrueSkill. The implem

When it comes to what school you went to, you can tell LinkedIn whatever you want. Just make sure you silently set it back to something true once you get that job offer and look confused when your recruiter thinks you went to school in Bost

Probably cut costs and hope enough of the revenue sticks around until they’re profitable. GitHub Actions is a relative newcomer to the party, but they probably have the better pricing structure here, charging by the minute.

The point here is valid: a “free email address for life” is equivalent to a statement like “You can sleep on my couch as long as you need to”. It’s true until it isn’t. Unlike crashing on someone’s couch, for an actually very insignificant

Firebase’s reliability issues forever fired them from my arsenal. Their uptime dashboard regularly lied about being available, as well. The coup de grace was when they went down during a demo to a customer where I had put in 20 hours of pre

If you remember electromagnetics from your last physics class, with a little bit of studying it wouldn’t be hard to pass the entry level technician’s exam. It’s a 35 question test from a public bank of 200, and you no longer need to do Mors

It’s like a physical key, also inside a combination lockbox, hanging from your keychain. It follows the Unix Philosophy in this regard of doing one thing very well and I think that’s a large part of the appeal. Granted it does many things w
