It's easy to make a (poor) copy of the product. It's hard to execute the idea, take market share, and capture customer revenue. Asana blogged this year about 50k organisations, 6 quarters accelerating growth [1]. Back in 2015 they

It'll be interesting to see where TS goes over the next couple of years. They seen to have a short roadmap. The proposed @types scaffolding seems interesting for solving issues with untyped libraries. Maybe the focus will be how do we

Go along to a wine tasting if you want to see the difference. It's much easier to notice and appreciate flavours side by side than with different meals. I'm not a massive wine drinker, but I really enjoyed several tastings in NZ,

Why so much security focus on a non-internet connected PC, but so little focus on needing a non-internet connected (ever) printer? The printer is potentially an easier attack vector, and you've got to pass the funds into an electronic

It's not gobblygook, it's training at a serious level. Those levels correspond well with lactic acid levels in the blood, for various types of training. I've both rowed at a high level and done tech research work with an Olym

Surely the (already) observable relative difference is more important than what the car thinks it's speed is? Both cars might read 60mph and go at different speeds. Therefore I don't see much need for that to change. I think more

The website is unusable on mobile - too much animation pretty much killed Chrome and scrolling resulted in very gradual stuttering down through the pages segments.

I believe that most arguing over the internet doesnt qualify as debate, and consider it somewhat of a lost skill. Critical thinking/analysis is not undertaken by most people, particularly on the internet. Debate is a cornerstone of dem

I think you seriously underestimate the threat of a real fire - a mistake which a lot of people (rather sadly) make. People die in house fires because the do not wake up in time to get out - the place goes up pretty quickly, and smoke (+ po

Even better in Australia - A$100 limit on 'PayWave'/Contactless transactions. All you have to do is tap your card and wait a few seconds. UK has contactless, but lower limit and from my recent visit, seems to not be as common

I'm currently using Firebase at work (startup, mobile app, web dashboards), and I think it's got some great features. It's not a replacement for SQL, but an entirely different product (and has no doubt come a long way since V

With hot code pushing, you're deploying newly written code/functionality, post release (opening possibility of up MiTM attacks etc). With Remote Config you deploy the code, then decide what to show to users post release. This give

AFAIK Remote Config is just a server side key value store with customisable values based on audiences (e.g. random 50% for A/B testing, all people from Country X). This means all behaviour changes will require code to be deployed in th
