Don't know about 1983, but a lot of software is definitely slower than it was 10, 20 years ago. Something that used to result in 2MB application with 5MB in memory requirement is now done as half a gigabyte of resources that will spawn

You can self host github or bitbucket as well, but it does get expensive.

Some things are in Azure, but IIRC not everything (not the git part of github anyway).

Everyone knows Apple, I have never heard about HEY. The article doesn't really say anything, so I can see how it being at the top would be suspicious.

The answer to "will using other analytics penalize you?" is "probably". Now let's rephrase the original question, "Will using other analytics penalize you more than using ones from Google?".

While might work great as a HN title, I don't think that's a wise product description. First of all, what is Firebase? Is literally no one else than their users your target? Also, is it OK to use someone else's trademark in y

I have no idea what this is, but I'm a huge fan. The reign of Linkedin as de-facto standard has to end. It's unacceptable recruiters expect me to have a profile on some proprietary website. Luckily not everyone is a moron and it&#

Hands down the best summary of what seems to be going on I've seen. I vaguely remember new features some 5+ years ago, or promises of fixing issues (that are still there), but that had stopped and all we got was a social-network-like f

The time and resources users waste on using such application eclipses the difference in development. One could be folding enzymes instead of waiting for syntax highlighting to finish rendering in vs code.

There was a study, IIRC from Israel, which said this is still reliable with 64 samples mixed. The next question is, do you need to test the individual samples then? Not sure how much available material for testing you have, but you might be

And their maps are far superior to Google if you are looking for a map experience. I.e. you want to see a map, understand it, use it. With Google you get a grey blob of nothing where you can see a plotted route and reviews for your destinat
