It's probably more about control than cost. Our company's product is similar to Automatic's, in that, in theory, you could have everything be done on-device and not need a proprietary backend at all. Other than the fact that

It's not a binary choice, and honestly it doesn't take a whole lot on our part to make the product open. Also consider: 1. The choices we make on mitigating the possibility of the product being waste can actually improve our produ

I'm working on a IoT device and this is something that my cofounders and I have discussed a fair bit. While we want to succeed, we know that most businesses fail, and we don't want to put out products that become waste. We're

I've been impressed by the Go Time podcast from Changelog. Good topics, interesting interviews, well-researched and well executed. Not a huge fan of the other podcasts on that network, but Go Time seems good.

Does Amazon's instruction to him to stay home override his rights as an employee to organize and participate in collective action? I don't actually know the answer. But in general, I'm guessing that you can't end a strik

Ah, got it. It's still incorrect though. With the incident a couple days ago, I couldn't `git push` for a couple hours.

I don't get it. Their own incidents tab on the same site shows four incidents this month: https://www.githubstatus.com/history I'm not sure how that results in 99.98% uptime on the other tab.

The problem is that stock Android on Essential will no longer receive security updates. LineageOS will receive updates, but if you want to use things like Google Pay or Netflix, you'll have to install kernel mods to trick SafetyNet int

Are you using gRPC with Go bindings? There is work underway for rules_go in Bazel to expose generated types like your gRPC and Protobuf classes. You can follow this issue for updates: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules

It's definitely not gone. Just `git checkout ORIG_HEAD` and you'll be back to whatever the tree was before you rebased.

As someone in a similar position as the OP, I definitely recommend Flutter. I'm working on a new hardware startup, and my team has strong backed and infra experience. That jives well with our product, but we do also need a mobile app t

Really interesting to see how stable these recommendations are over time. I built a commercial GIS system at a startup almost ten years ago, and GeoServer, PostGIS and OpenLayers were the go-to tools back then too. I left that startup soon

GTFS and GTFS-RT definitely work, but in practice it seems each transit agency implements them a little differently. I'm actually a fan of the HERE Transit API. They've done the work of interfacing with a bunch of providers, and y

Wow, that's wild. As someone without a CS degree and about 15 years of experience, I didn't think that was something that I'd have to worry about anymore. Guess it can still happen.

Yeah, I've had the same issues. Eventually a node would run out of some network resource which would make scheduling containers onto it impossible until it was rebooted. There seem to be some other intermittent network issues as well.

That's important, but it's not really the core of why the Starbucks Card program is so huge. I worked on the team around 2009, before the rewards program rolled out. The card program was already huge at that point, so the rewards
