Less cynical view: the defaults are designed to work for a majority of use cases and the majority of nginx users aren't running high traffic servers.

For me the big difference is that using steam is a choice whereas using the app store is required. Developers use steam largely because they want to, not because they have to.

I think you can argue this one either way. For example, I would say that writing a little html+js calculator web app these days is very easy and works on billions of devices around the world (approx anything with a web browser and an intern

I stopped using them because of their awful support. The shared IP address our emails were coming from must have gotten on to a blacklist because 35% of our emails started being rejected overnight (not even making it to spam!) and their res

Beautifully simple! Exfiltrating data via a DNS request was a nice little trick too.

It's interesting but I think it's important to take it with a huge pinch of salt. It's obviously designed as a hit piece, pushing their opinion the CEO needs to go, and as such is chock full of selective quotes and figures de

Presumably they feel like the major design choices at ITER have already been validated and this experiment validates some more minor design choices.

I've helped maintain a g suite org, they're pretty rigorous about getting in touch when they're making changes. I know we had plenty of notice about the storage policy changes for example.

For me it is more that the overall presentation is not clear. That wording on it's own is clear, but at every other stage in the process the implication is that it's a month to month commitment and not a full year you're sign

Or you can threaten to report them to the relevant consumer body in your country. I did this after arguing with one of their sales people about cancelling a subscription for half an hour and they immediately relented. Just speculating, but

The part I find hard to understand is how you decide whether it is a necessity to load external content. For example, say I want to embed an instagram post on my website. You could argue that I should talk to the person who took the picture

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I just don't see barriers in getting updates out to people as a good thing. It seems your argument is that it encourages developers to be sloppy, but in practice I think it just ends up as

I think it's important not to conflate churn with fast updates. In it's essence the ability to deliver updates quickly (in this case by downloading a blob of wasm+js each time the app is started) is a great thing imo, as you elimi

I'm by no means an expert but my understanding is that a lot of the performance from libraries like openBLAS comes from targeting specific architectures (e.g. particular instruction sets on a series of processors). You can probably mil

I think this is an overly harsh take. In many applications Go's knob-less GC works well enough and avoids any fiddling at the cost of non-optimal memory utilisation in some cases. It's not obvious to me that adding loads of knobs
