When elon musk says it's possible that we're living in a simulation, it's fun to think about the computer that can handle this level of detail and complexity from the very minute to the billions of galaxies

Cloud storage is the best way for long term backups, esp established providers like Dropbox or Google drive. Also using Amazon S3 or digital ocean spaces is relatively cheap and super easy to do with tools like s3cmd

I've been using echo dot inside my car and I couldn't be happier (got it at 50% thanks to prime day). The integration with Amazon music is pretty cool and everything just works! Of course so far it's for music only but I&#x27

The last part sounds like a classic Henry Kissinger move[1] where he would tell people without even looking at their work "Is that the best you can do?" After which the person spent an entire night reworking the whole thing.. to w

I have a very similar sleep cycle and I'm guessing it's pretty common among programmers I think(1). I too tried to fight it a lot, tried everything under the sun to fix it but couldn't keep up for more than a few days. Now I&

Ses would be the best option for your budget. They give you shared ips but I've seldom seen any transactional mails go to spam. Also if you're using route 53 configuring dkim, etc for your own domain is just 1 click away.

This may be a little OT (OT because the points raised in the study are totally valid and mine is just a comment) but for small companies and solo developers ORM or whatever that gets the job done quickly is the way to go. Most sites and web

For me personally its magicleap i guess, even after all the bad press and delays. Also on the same line Intel's vaunt. Can't wait for these to be accessible and try them out.

Laravel's cashier does a pretty good job at it. I think it hardly takes 5 to 10 minutes to integrate and you can have multiple integrations like Stripe, Braintree, etc with Access control, coupons, etc..
