So this means that open source projects need to pay to keep older images alive?

Not necessarily. If you have 0 customers but your MVP already depends on a bunch of external services, you have hard lock-ins or running costs from the beginning. Scaling and putting everything on scalable infra should be reserved for proje

If you change all tires if a running car, you are increasing complexity and risk. The blog post describes the fallacy/anti-pattern of starting from scratch. It's usually a people problem when people don't want to understand t

How many? 5000 servers? As a public company it should not really matter at that size. Developers are way more expensive.

servers are a commodity and cheap compared to runtime complexity

I've admired Drew and the early Dropbox team for getting things done and shipped even when compiled python GUIs was edgy as the initial Rails version of Twitter was. But they shipped and validated the market. Now adding all those fancy

If one can't describe their thesis in 3-4 sentences, they will not be able to do it in a paper/book.

Also any discussion of software competency without market analysis is incomplete. We have seen a big change from indy culture towards monopolies and their rules in the last 10 years. Almost all developers are required to play by the rules o

I think this isn't primarily about a database migration/consolidation and specifically not about MongoDB. IMHO it's about cutting cost and complexity by building a single world-wide software platform. Of course this also mean

true. Keep in mind that specific industries (e.g. finance) have transparency requirements so end-to-end encrypted messengers are not acceptable (prevent insider trading, collusive behavior, data theft). In private, personal communication, e

They wear it down and they need to "make it up on volume" (they don't). As I wrote earlier, payment is not linear. It depends on the region, day and time. One can make a lot of money in 1-2 hours on some evening, but also sit

Is it? According to the videos, they outperform delivery drivers bound to cars. Sure, with a car you can easily work in rain, cold, long distance deliveries. But usually it does not pay out to commit full time or to a specific, expensive ve

I watch some YouTube channels of delivery people (usually on bikes) just out of curiosity. Most of them do it only part-time and see it as a work-out gamification. Looks like during the pandemic many restaurants also closed delivery options

No. Seriously not. Daytrading is not a job for 99% of all. Even if you survive the first years, your risk management will also affect your "income". If you get greedy, your losses will break your neck. It's not something you

This wont generate income now. It's super hard to invest your time on learning things when your budget is tied and your job perspective is "vague".

This but keep in mind that "selling our skills" is also a skill of its own.

At least in Germany companies and government are required to configure mandatory TLS for SMTP and IMAP so the biggest attack vector is gone. No end-to-end encryption though.

I can confirm this. Looks like an ingredient of the plastic/fake leather part is deteriorating pretty much exactly at the 2 years mark. Mine was idling one year after some months of use and then started to fell apart, the prior QC15

I still prefer the Texas Instruments approach starting with the BeagleBoard by offering the SoC to the market. I understand that RPi is subsidized but it also limits the use cases in commercial appliances besides the compute module.

EVs are simpler products that make lots of knowledge and experience useless. And the most expensive part of EVs is the battery made by Asian companies. So it you start "too early" you introduce negative scaling effects on your hig

I hate watching dying orgs or poor performing teams/management. I can't mentally disconnect. It often feels like visiting a poor 3rd world country with an ongoing civil war. You know that you can and will save some souls but also

May be true in the US but in Europe you can't just increase your rates. Too many policies are involved with especially larger customers: they have a specific maximum rate they are willing to pay. In addition some agencies usually requi

The cloud, too. Think of Office365, SAP Cloud Platform. It's benefical for a closed source vendor to switch to a service model, collect monthly recurrent fees and get free ultimate leverage against the customer.
