   The least reliable cloud service provider … relative to what? A comparison of historical downtime amongst DNS and CDN providers shows this to be an illogical consideration. I’ve been using cloudflare for years at both small and very large s

   Developers are consumers like everyone else and they absolutely respond to marketing. Large cloud providers employee entire teams of developer marketing staff. Just like every other kind of marketing it’s about tailoring your message to you

   Blue Origin technically started before SpaceX and has an increasing delta in accomplishments... They're easily a decade plus behind and SpaceX doesn't seem to be slowing down. Bezos is smart and talented... but it's hard to o

   I haven’t seen the Azure or GCP certs as a strong hiring signal. The AWS associate certs are similarly low signal, anyone with some skill at multiple choice can pass those. The AWS professional certs and AWS specialty certs (big data, ml, n

   I’m excited about the possibility here but as a dev I’m waiting for that self-serve functionality. I would have paid a modest fee for a month or so to try it out and maybe converted to a prod customer if it met my needs. There was a great t

   Not trying to be rude but I’m curious what makes you believe quicksight has a strong embedding story? I’m generally a quicksight fan (although it has so many things it could do better with a little TLC). What setup are you using that makes

   Well it was published 14 years ago. He was probably in college or something when he wrote it. Not giving him a pass or anything, just pointing out he didn’t write in while in his current role.

    Congrats on the launch. Looks great. I’m going to use this in a pilot project next week and see how it goes. How does this compare/contrast with something like figma? The intro video is really solid and shows off the features well.

    What made you pick the websocket connection over something more like a pure TCP connection or something like ngrok?

    So when can we get our tax refund?

    Are they going to return the server boost $? They're well within their rights to ban it and it was hella toxic in there... but... they should give those people the remaining time or $ on their boosts back. Otherwise that's basical

    While I’m all for being critical of TSLA’s FSD rollout I do think a bit of perspective is warranted: in the USA drivers are routinely drunk, distracted, or just plain stupid. Everyday day I get on the road and I’m forced to drive defensivel

    I think that's a good idea and I wish they would do something like this. FWIW I disagree that the console is a usability disaster. We're very prone to hyperbole in this industry. It's definitely got a ton of room to improve b

    They'll still get sales taxes, corp taxes, and income taxes from people working at those companies... it's not a "free rider" problem - CA made an investment and it's paying off...

    I think he's pretty tired of being used as a punching bag by various elected representatives. He's not a perfect person by any stretch but he's been a net benefit and gain for CA, the US, and maybe the world? The guy constant

    I sincerely doubt this was planned. If you’ve ever worked for a large global corp you would find it difficult to believe anything could be coordinated. Everyone involved at every level is trying to climb that ladder.

    I think years is a bit on the high end of that estimate, especially with dedicated practice. I’ve seen people go from 0 to conversant in 60 days in English classes.

    I used an earlier version of this to run some tests for AWS usability and for PyTorch usability. I like the product a lot.

    Apple should make a profit for providing the platform. That profit shouldn’t be 30%... as a business operator I wouldn’t mind paying ~3%

    GrubHub (and seamless) are popular in most urban cities. Sure NYC was popular when they started but I don’t think it’s solely NYC or even solely US.
