I know very little about this technology, but I believe that Bluetooth LE/Bluetooth 5 is actually quite different from earlier versions, and much better: the vendors basically swapped out the BT4 technology whilst keeping the name.

Solus is very, very good. The default version uses their own desktop, but they also offer a solid GNOME edition and are preparing a KDE edition as well. I am a long-time Fedora user, and very fussy about Linux desktops, but would now recomm

Yeah, we use Hangouts for daily standups with all of our teams, so we do multi-way calls for several hours every day (mostly macOS actually, but some Windows), and it's consistently reliable for us. We migrated from Skype, which would

I would modify this slightly, and suggest finding out who some of the most highly regarded programmers are for your language, and reading their libraries. Standard libraries are often a very mixed bag of stuff because things are added but r

I'm both amused and angry that Windows 10 adopted the same model as the big commercial Linux distributions: a fast-cycle OS that upgrades every 6 months (but might have bugs), and a slow-moving version that they support for a long time

I haven't used this, but I know of it: I believe that that the idea is to provide the simplest, easiest abstraction over PostgreSQL (and only PostgreSQL). Rails does run-time introspection, and it doesn't cost much. Massive.js is

It's worth noting that Hacker News has an anti-procrastination feature: set the "noprocrast" option in your profile to "yes", and then it will time-limit your visits to "maxvisit" in minutes, and block you

This is really solid advice, I think. Either you are building something for learning, or you are building something to ship it, and it's better not to mix the two. If you are building something to learn new technology, then use whateve

A lot of people who use a computer for work purposes have a number of software applications that they must be able to run reliably in order to do their job. The problem is steadily getting better in some areas, but there are still thousan

I think that it's good advice for people with interests outside of tech. If you are a developer, then it's easy to think of things that you could make for other developers, but for various reasons, developers aren't a great c

I actually think that it's a social and business problem, more than a technical one. Some SaaS providers already choose to run an OSS product which they develop for their needs but also share (like GitLab, Discourse and Sentry). Others

I think that there is a real split between consumer and corporate at this point (certainly in the West). Some managed corporate setups are definitely still on old versions of IE, but for everyone else, the path of least resistance has been

(We've used Azure for 3 years or so, AWS for longer). Azure's USP is basically the deep integration into the MS ecosystem at all points. Azure is relentlessly promoted to every MS technical professional through all of the learning

I'd consider Google Cloud because the documentation, tutorials and verbose config (on most services) on AWS are a fairly substantial barrier. Has you ever gone through trying to wire up a Lambda function to talk to a S3 bucket and API

by sjellis 10y ago
I really would not recommend Azure unless you are going for an all-Microsoft, all-the-time strategy. Their hosted SQL Server offerings have actually been really good, and IMO is one of the best parts of the platform.

That's rather sad. POWER has seemed to be lingering in this half-life for many years now, where it's valuable enough for development to continue, but it's not competitive against Intel for broad use.
