Started reading then got presented with a huge popup overlay / ad telling me to subscribe to their blog. Closed the site. I did like what I started reading about not taking VC funding though - that is very refreshing.

I feel like it’s a bit different for books than it is from say - taking staged photos of you wearing some fancy clothes while out to dinner. For me I follow friends who have similar tastes or interests as I know there’s a good chance I migh

And it’s owned by Amazon, who have no incentive to make it any better than it is.

Neat! It's great that you're taking feedback like this.

Yeah I think application monitoring makes sense, could always add ‘and log analysis’ to represent its strengths there.

Perhaps it’s just the landing page but it looks to be more of a logging and application metrics tool than a monitoring tool? For monitoring I’d expect to see a horizontal and top down view of each component that makes up and hosts my produc

Yeah that’s really big money for something that doesn’t come with a screen.

It’s fantastic to see more arm / RISC options on the desktop these days, however I’d be hesitant to buy another planet computers product. I have the pocket Gemini and from day one its software support was horrific. Now, despite being a

There's no need to be rude and make personal attacks on someone's use of language.

Yes! Absolutely. It is not all or nothing, it very rarely is and the internet is quick to forget that.

I meant more the term 10x engineer and what it's come to stand for over the years. If we're just talking about the simple root premise some people are 10x more effective / efficient or simply deliver 10x the output at the sam

10x is/was a gross concept - https://1x.engineer/ ftw. *Edit - to clarify I meant what it represented, of course some people nX times more effective/efficient/higher output than others.

Orbstack is nice to use but it’s not open source and who knows what they’re going to charge for it, once VC gets its dirty hands in there you know it’ll become expensive.

Yep. I’ve experience almost exactly the same in the past. I’ve always just assumed glassdoor was a fake / scam site since.

I feel like I’m talking about how harmful the insatiable desire for growth is on an almost daily now. I couldn’t agree with you more.

https://smcleod.net I used to blog about the challenges of running high throughput / latency sensitive workloads on a shoestring budget at non-profits, these days it's mostly code snippets and me whining about enterpri

Oh gosh where do I even start. Actually, I was recently writing up a list of issues that the teams I work with have with it the other day. I'll share it here however I'll have to post an update to later as it's missing one of

The linked video seems to have no context provided? What is a titan ML server? Is 7B actually that useful? How does the model compare to others? Etc…

GitHub has gotten so much worse over the last few years. Actions feels like it was thrown together with little to no thought as to the user or product journey.

I really wish I was working on Gitlab every day rather than GitHub / Actions. Gitlab’s UI / UX is so much less hostile to the user. It’s a real shame that Gitlab’s pricing went up so much. I have no doubt that many of the clients

That site seems to have broken TLS.

I’m assuming this is sarcasm / a joke, unless you're a windows admin or the likes?

I can’t see a link to the source code for it?

Not at all! Your common as milk Philips and ViewSonic 19-21” could do that easily!

60Hz is really noticeable when you’ve been using 120Hz even for a few minutes. 120Hz feels a lot less tiring and work in a terminal, editor and websites is just a lot smoother.

Using ML tooling can be incredibly useful for new and experienced folks, - but in different ways. New folks are more likely to ask questions they’d otherwise feel uncomfortable asking but are far more at risk of being lead down the wrong pa

Theres no need to generalise and dehumanise a whole group of people like that.

It really is all electron apps. The best I’ve used is VSCode (by far), but it’s still a resource hog.

Sumologic is one of the worst tools I’ve ever had to use for monitoring, its “ok” for looking at a pile of logs, not great but “ok”, but when companies try to use it for monitoring - gosh, it’s like going back to the dark ages.
