It ain't performance, it's cost (which increased performance can improve, but it's far from the only factor).

Disregarding the question of if the CSP compete fairly with providers of open source SaaS, your math is broken: AWS revenue is about $90.76B, though most of it isn't from Redis, I'd assume. But let's be generous, and assume 1

Redis actually has very few external dependencies compared to most modern FOSS: IIRC, it only need libc and OpenSSL (the latter only if you build TLS) on your system, and provide their forked copies of Jemalloc, LUA, fpconv, HiRedis, Lineno

Marrying it to mac text APIs may be an effort, but after using tree-sitter, I just don't see myself parsing code for displaying or editing any other way.

Luxury is build quality: not just a list of features, but the care and effort taken in assembling all the parts into a car: tolerances, alignments, finish quality. Tesla fails all, with frequent misaligned panels, paint bubbling, ill-fittin

Worse: Teslas are prices like luxury cars, but they're not built like ones.

Very mild take: S3 is a very reliable, relatively cheap, high latency, key-value store. The reason I don't think about flies on a UNIX-derived systems as a key-value store (filename->file content), is that in such systems, we have m

It's not a potential: we know this is going to happen, because we've seen it happening before. The _marketed_ intent behind those regulation is a good one. The actual regulations are just favoring one player over the other: I gues

iOS Safari is the only thing that prevents a Chromium/Blink hegemony. A popular Chrome on iOS would be a return to the IE6 days (Firefox has such a minuscule market share, no one even notices it)

It's very possible, and I've seen a lot of people do it successfully. It does require some organizational changes, and a slightly different set of skills, and some fail to realize they lack both.

That's the thing that stumped me here: how does a _Senior Staff Engineer_ doesn't understand their job isn't to build software, but to enable the rest of the organization to build software? (Paraphrasing on that old Toyota pr

Cash use is very limited. Once you go over a certain amount, you have to get banked. That's why money laundering is such a successful business.

Not really. If you want to end up with money you can actually use for things other than paying ransomware, you have to end up with a bank account somewhere. And as banks wants to transact in USD, they play nice with the US government.

Signal is one-to-one or many-to-many. Telegram is mostly few-to-many.

by snotrockets 3y ago
Telegram isn't a messaging service. It's a social network with a messenger UI. Quite ingenious, if you'd ask me, but a social network and a private messenger can't really be reconciled into a single product.

I think some of the data is just old: my house is listed with the tax assessment for the previous owner. But all the tax bills are published (though in a harder to navigate format) on the country website. I went and checked all my neighbors
