Atom is really just a testbed for electron, where the real technology lies. If you can make an editor that programmers love using electron you can make pretty much anything else (excluding games).

This is the ultimate key feature of Kubernetes. It’s 1000x better than a hosted closed source solution because you can run it entirely locally. It’s amazing that the hosted option 100% mirrors the self hosted option which mirrors dev.

Hey Jeremy, I’m saying they should take care of it for me. As a database operator I treat safety on i3 similarly where I have multiple hot replicas of my data so that if any fails I’m good to go. Additionally, there isn’t any reason you cou

Amazing! I hope they adopt this for RDS. EBS volumes are great and all but not for database where the dataset is many multiples of the working set.

That makes this a perfect fit

I understand the concepts but... how do you actually use it?

Nah, I’ve waned to use fail2ban multiple times and failed. Unless something has recently changed it is some of the most poorly documented software on the planet. I’ve never been able to configure the thing or figure out what it’s doing or..

Would be a cool project to create a Terminal email client that embedd an html to ascii rendering engine to make that work.

Sure but network is not always LTE even with current phones. The thing I always hated about Verizon and Sprint is dropping to 1x. We have modern phones for Christ sake! On T-Mobile or ATT you will drop to HSDPA if no LTE is available which

It would have made much more sense for T-Mobile to merge with AT&T given the GSM heritage of both wireless networks. This is one situation where the sum of the whole is probably less than the parts. Bleh!

Time-zone support is one. The thing i don’t get is why for libraries like moment don’t we host the tz data on a cdn and have the library just request the cached copy at runtime? Or better yet, have the browser supply it as part of the brow

At this point isn’t building the software that enables people to be content using your phones significantly more valuable that reading texts in transit? The advertising gains could be had by building local profiles using unencrypted texts o

Why wouldn’t google just ship a “libchrome” shared library so that they could share it?

Ooh I strongly dislike that effect on large monitors. It’s basically a waste where we distill the design down the lowest common denominator for 1024x768 screens (or whatever is current). Facebook does the same thing. I don’t know why compan

I’d pay more money for an option without the endless phone calls and emails, it’s like advertising that you have to listen to.

Why do startups that sell to other startups hire sales people to do this instead of just having clear pricing? Obviously they must extract some value for the business but the experience of haggling with some sales bro to get a decent price

You do realize that no iPhone ever has cost $199 and that the price was subsidized right?

To be clear, I'm not criticizing or holier than thou —- I'd work there in a heartbeat without complaint and love it. The part I don't get is that it seems everyone who does work there is in shock and awe that this is going on

I respect Facebook and their engineering chops as much as the next person, they are truly world class programmers, but how the holy hell is everyone daydreaming that they don’t work for an advertising company? You sell and use people’s data

Likewise, I am foaming at the mouth to replace some internal google sheets with air table but as you mention, webhook capability is table stakes to front the effort.

Golangs’s web server, by default serves every request in a new goroutine (thread of execution) making it parallel by default with no effort on the user’s behalf. Obviously this problem domain is easily parallelized but it’s nice to see para

This is actually interesting because Kakfka’s is great and the protocol makes sense but I want a binary to run so I don’t have to deal with the java ecosystem.

I used to trade volatility and conventional wisdom is definitely not that the Vix is always quiet. The phrase I always heard and said is “we are picking up nickels in front of a steamroller” in reference to shorting implied Vol. Everyone kn

Shit. Switching to c5 would save them over 100k/month at a minimum and net better performance to boot. I’d get on that.
