Are you referring to Cloudflare's R2 storage? If so, I'm not sure that's completely comparable as Backblaze has a huge focus on backup systems, not just cloud storage. [Edit: didn't realize Backblaze has cloud storage, I

Would love to know what caused this to happen, given (as the article says) huge amounts of money being poured into (seemingly) similar businesses.

I wanted to try this, too, but after 4 minutes and no end in site, I closed the tab. How long is the opener, or is that it?

Take time to reflect. A lot of folks focus so much on doing that they don't take the time to take a step back and see what's working and what isn't. You might be shipping a lot of good stuff, but maybe you're making assu

A great read, but animations would have been soooo much better than the static diagrams.

It's true, "good" Object-Oriented Java code is hard to find, because it's not taught very well (or is taught completely wrong, e.g., using "getters" and "setters" to "encapsulate" data). How

Trying out new apps takes time, so it's really your job to show why I would want to take that time to properly evaluate your app. Asking potential users to "try our app" without answering the "why" isn't a good

Yes, brokerages have all been doing this for a while, but while TD Ameritrade pays more overall than Robinhood, does it also do more trades (not in terms of number of trades, but dollar value)? Without that info, it's hard to tell who&

Some basics of how people learn that I've found is: * What do they know now (or think they understand)? You can only build knowledge on existing knowledge, so first find out what foundations exist (this connects to the author's &q

I have a Schwab account, but I strongly dislike both their Web UI and their (iPad) mobile apps. They were built decades ago and for the most part they show it. The mobile trading for stocks (forget options) is just awful (including failing

The desktop TOS has a bunch of options analysis tools (mobile has some, too), but honestly I don't use them very much so don't know them too well.

I like TD Ameritrade (now owned by Schwab, but still has their own web site) for its generally good execution (as far as I can tell), but mostly because it still has the best mobile (iPad) app that I use for the majority of my stock and opt

I like the idea of being able to save the blurred areas, having standard sets of these for popular sites (e.g., GitHub API keys, Twilio, AWS, etc.) would be worth paying for. As others have mentioned, I'd like more secure ways to blur

I'm a bit user of Nuzzel and this isn't entirely unexpected, but I'm disappointed. Nuzzel allowed me to catch up on links from my Twitter stream without me getting caught up in infinite scrolling and distracting conversations

Agreed. This is what I always recommend to those who are looking to learn how to (better) code: find a personal, meaningful project that fills a want or need for you. Not only will it provide you with realistic problems to solve, they will

Not only are getters/setters not necessary, they actively work against good object orientation. The whole point of OO was to work with things in terms of their _behavior_ and not their _data_. The way OO is taught by creating data-cent

I wish sites would test their forms with popular password management systems. This kind of thing happens all too often (thought perhaps not with such a high cost). Why not make it easy for people who auto-fill with these programs -- don&#x2

Not in the next 10 years. Why would they? Fabs are extremely capital-intensive and take years to get up and running, when (like Taiwan Semi) knows how to do it. Intel has shown how hard it can be to do this right. Let TSM work on production

Stop doing so many code reviews and start pair or mob programming. Write more code using TDD and with Hexagonal (or similar) Architecture to make code easier to test. Code reviews are a poor use of time and don't solve the problems (qu

Videos like the first one are mostly animation or motion graphics based, which is a different skill. While you could certainly learn how to do it yourself, you may be able to find "stock" graphics that have what you want. The Slac

Twitch is a lot more "discoverable" in that you can easily search for folks who are coding _right now_. I get lots of new viewers this way. For YT, viewers would have to already know who they're looking for and so they'r

While that can help, it's not necessary. What is necessary is increasing the amount and/or consistency of time streaming (sticking to a solid schedule really helps) and always be talking and interacting with chat. It may take many
