DigitalOcean keeps knocking it out of the park with this and other offerings. I plan on migrating to their platform at some point, but wish they offered a free/hobbyist tier (something like what is offered by Heroku) for exploring idea

Is there a press release or any statement from Amazon about this? Paywalled here (and would prefer a direct source anyway).

I didn't know this -- this is very very cool! I remember following an old google group of people who were waiting for that support.

I've used Cloud Firestore extensively in some of my personal projects. I also have lots of feedback and suggestions I'd love to share with you if interested. Is there still a way to participate in this program or get in touch with

I have to be honest — the allegations made here do not surprise me. The days of corporate espionage seem alive and well, and China’s image in the United States is taking a significant hit. It isn’t fair to the honest, hard-working Chinese n

Do you worry about the security implications of this? If you storing something sensitive like a private key, I mean.

The only thing that still blows my mind are the private fields and methods. I understand there has been plenty of debate about it, but have not followed the conversation. I really hope that syntax does not get finalized.

That’s why I clarified that my thought applies to scientific writing. If you’re going to criticize the claim (and evidence that supports the claim) made in a research paper, then you should bring your own body of evidence and stick your nec

The thing that annoys me about this the most is the use of anonymous sources. If you are writing a scientific article, or generally hope to establish some scientific fact, I do not think it is appropriate to hide behind a veil of anonymity.

Right! I did think it was interesting that he said this adrenaline rush made it difficult to keep from laughing. It seems completely inappropriate, but makes sense at the same time. "Really, this is happening to me right now?"

Coming from someone who mostly works on web projects, I am not a huge fan of Flutter or React Native. While they are suitable for simple projects, I think the real value in a mobile engineer is extensive knowledge of the features offered by

This is a very interesting story and I imagine there is some amount of ML used to gradually improve the accuracy of results for a specific user. Unrelated: It is called the Apple Watch. :)

This allows Apple to continue selling their hardware and software to people living in China (of which there are a lot). This is not a problem with Apple, but a problem with China.

I didn't expect this to be written in Java. Do they talk about this decision anywhere? I didn't catch anything in the announcement.
