Very true, but I still think it's worth pointing out that this emulates Docker from 2015 , while Docker today probably doesn't look the same anymore.

My bet is employees here refers to full-time salaried employees. No doubt they work with contractors and freelancers. The article even says they have "a few people to write content for the blog".

Because the hosting costs are the cheapest part of it? The real, time-consuming work is building the site up front, then on an ongoing and perpetual basis: doing technical maintenance and updates, moderating the site for trolls and spam, mo

US Robotics 16.8k and 19.2k modems were the stuff of pirate boards mostly. Or at least, many pirate boards only accepted those connections from other USR modems.

Just for clarity, they are refunding hardware and software purchases but not membership fees.

Hi Tobi, Whether you wrote it or not (and fair that my post may have implied you didn't - my fault), any note/post/message that you publish on the Shopify website is still public relations comms, coming from the CEO of a prom

Yes but since execs make the rules, they never will... Class solidarity is real.

You're absolutely right, and it's worth thinking this through even before you take a job, if you have that luxury.

In large companies, don't assume that there is a coherent and unified vision on hiring or growth. Different managers/directors/VPs have their own portfolios, their own budgets, their own roadmaps and KPIs. This leads to dupl

> You should read Tobi's post about what happened. That's not how it was. I did read that back when it was posted. I hope you recognize PR when you see it? Sorry if it came across like I was saying that companies are being evil

This part at the end of the article is probably the real true nugget in here: > But implicit in that risk, Mr. Nayyar points out, is a lot of downside. Many executives thought, “but didn’t say out loud, that if demand disappeared or chan

Flash had terrible accessibility support, and with the increasingly mandatory use of Internet sites and resources for everyone, including those needing accommodation, it's best that Flash stays dead, at least in its previous incarnatio

I will admit that at first glance I thought this was a firmware hack for TVs, and I immediately started digging around the site to try to find a list of compatible TVs... Once I found out what it was, it was still quite cool and I am curiou

Do you say this because you believe that Americans are exceptional compared to the rest of the world? Because the rest of the modern world has made the change without trouble.

I'm sure the reason is "too complicated and not worth it" but I've always been surprised that Reddit doesn't have per-sub karma.

I keep hearing about this crypto stuff but as a daily Signal user I don't think I've ever seen anything "forcibly shoved" at me about crypto in Signal. Just my experience though..

I'll provide a counter-anecdote that almost my entire social circle - at least 30-40 people, mainly middle-aged non-tech people - has migrated to Signal from WhatsApp in the last 2 years. And it didn't take much effort. The desir
