Purely anecdotal but in my mind, one of the biggest barriers would be public sentiment? I remember when Lime launched here in New Zealand and suddenly, all of these scooters appeared on the footpaths. Over time, they would go from nice, nea

As a slightly unrelated note, how do these sort of databases actually get bootstrapped? I imagine as you get up and running, you'd end up with industry contacts, access to industry data sources and so on but I'd be interested to k

Has anyone had any luck with SteamVR and the HTC Vive? I tried Proton a few times, was hugely impressed but the one pain point remaining is that I can never seem to get the headset to work properly I play a fair bit of Beat Saber so it kind

I enjoyed the talk about scaling Pokemon GO + migrating from DBshards to Aurora PostgreSQL which went into what they tried, what failed and what succeeded rather than just saying "We used X service and it was great" I couldn'

For what it’s worth, the Google Merch Store sells a privacy kit, which includes a webcam cover and a dummy microphone jack :)

A work colleague sent Slack some feedback about wanting the old editor back and they replied a few hours ago. Here's an excerpt with slightly more insight on a timeline. "We don't have a specific release date to share right n

I remember attending a talk about speeding up web UIs once and it got to Q&A time. I’d read some article about how if you respond too quickly, users can begin to doubt that any work is really being performed, and I’ve experienced that f

On a slightly unrelated note, the firewall at my work tagged karma.fm as pornography. I opened this post on mobile and it clearly isn't that.

Thanks! I'm actually moving to a Windows environment for development shortly so this is handy to know. I'll likely just use pass via WSL2 but I might give gpg4win a shot too

Ah yup yup, that is true. For some reason, I always have this idea that it's pulling and decrypting everything. Gotta remind myself that computers are actually fast and decryption can happen on the fly :)

My only issue with Todoist is that it seems to crash instantly on my LineageOS device when attempting to sign in with email. I'd love to use it otherwise :(

Ah sorry, yes! I was tapping that out rapidly on my phone because I had gotten excited seeing a password manager thread. Maybe too much because I left the shower running before I realized I better wrap up my comment and stop being wasteful

I think GPG keys get a lot of flack for not being the most user friendly thing and probably fair enough. The nature of them having to remain secret, makes managing them a bit confusing. I don't use mine for anything more than signing c

I've used pretty much every password manager under the sun at one point or another. Lastpass, 1Password, Bitwarden, Dashlane, Remembear, KeePass(X) and I've finally settled on regular ol' pass. I never really understood how i

That is definitely true! I have no idea about the logistics of running an Android emulator headless on a VPS. Maybe you'd have to use VNC or something at first otherwise just host it locally?

re: needing an ID for SIM cards, that's interesting! Here in New Zealand, I can freely purchase any prepay SIM without ID and use it straight away. Most, if not all dairies carry them too.

I find this really annoying. We have an internal SPA with buggy routing where it'll render for both http and https but the requests made by the client fail because they mirror the protocol when hitting the backend. It's a pretty t

What happens with Fargate if you need to SSH into the underlying instance? I haven't used it myself, and I'm not sure that it truly abstracts away the EC2 instance, but the description of Fargate always made me assume that to be t
