Author here, thanks for the feedback. I want to keep this simple enough for me and my non-hardware engineer colleagues, but will see if I can add a note about the instruction sets. Yeah, I remember when only the cheap slow devices were ARM,

The beauty as symmetry metric is purely genetic, but yes, grooming can add a lot of beauty points. The other metric is also body type preference, which seems more scarcity related - people in food-scarce locations will consider larger bodie

Every success story is really about people selling the secret of success, which is to sell the secret of success. Twitter is full of this. Every success guru is selling a course about selling courses.

This matters only if Flutter is a closed source project – but it's not. You can fork it on Github right now and continue working on it even if Google pulls its engineers off. I'd assume that those of us (and there seem be a lot of

Cloudflare already has a video ingestion, encoding and streaming service, this is very likely dogfooding of that. Also when launching that service they seemed to imply that they they generally buy bandwidth at fixed costs, so all the edges

So this is where 12factor comes in - unless the application is operating at lower than layer 7 (and with some of the newer offerings even layer 3) there’s not much technology centric stuff going on. Everything Slack is doing is happening a

This is actually a plus point if you ask me. These few thousand customers are all operating on the same racks as me - in an environment like AWS or GCP there's no special part of the datacenter reserved for fancy customers. The billion

This is one of the biggest arguments I see for serverless (AWS Lambda + DynamoDB) or at least managed PaaS systems (Google App Engine, Heroku with RDS or CloudSQL). These systems may seem to cost more for some workload curves (or might even

This sentiment comes up a lot as a protest against power laws; but they are perfectly normal, in that they're natural. In any situation where there are differences among individuals and a single axis store of value (currency) there is

Don’t you set your own rates and timings at Toptal? From what I can see it functions more as a talent agency than as an employer.

Even fees and price caps would not be considered capitalist or free-market - they both interfere with the market dynamics. In all cases, we need to interfere with the free market to improve goodness for society as a whole. But we don't

The expression ‘break up a company’ carries some moral judgement in it, as if it’s a punishment for doing bad things. Not sure exactly what it is, but it’s more a societal move that smells a bit of socialism. Google is a capitalist company

Implemented the Redis API on DynamoDB. Very interesting experience because I learnt a lot about Dynamo, and now have a 0-infinity autoscaling system ready for for my other side projects and consulting apps. The Dynamo API is pretty low leve

A refusal to acknowledge that prevailing wisdom was correct is what got us Go in the first place. I think of the value of the project as being a re examination of every aspect of programming from first principles. Some decisions will change

Don’t think the type systems itself were up for debate - the Go team isn’t necessarily going to invent new types of types or advance research in type theory - That’s already been done enough by Haskell, Scala and others. Whatever system com

The initial model was ok because Apple was handling promotion and marketing as well for you. There was a time where there weren't that many apps on the App store, so Apple would push and advertise apps after you submitted them. Even to

by sudhirj 6y ago
So that’s the crux of the issue, but I don’t see how it’ll stand because maybe Apple is paying me to make apps that make their platform popular. And the distinction is even weirder for hardware - this is like Tesla allowing you to only carr

The initial model itself started off pretty clear. Where the in app purchase is secured and delivered purely by Apple, it’s acting as a publisher. This is the unlock special functions in the calculator type purchase, or buy a book where the

This is a case of something being reasonable under initial conditions, but failing to evolve over time. If you remember the first versions of the App Store, most of the apps were hosted and delivered by Apple, and the in app purchases were

Isn't it conclusive already that gravity insn't a force? It works nothing like what we consider forces, and we already have models that show it's curvature in space-time, not force. A black hole doesn't exert infinite

It would be super complicated, but technically feasible. DynamoDB has a change log called streams that would technically work, with a lot of aggregation, even with the distributed nature. But I would think about it only as a late stage and

I'm working on Redis adapter for DynamoDB - Dynamo is really a distributed superset of Redis, and most of the data structures that Redis has scale effectively to the distributed hash table + B-Tree-like system that Dynamo offers. Havin
