I personally like to get 1 of every animal if I can. I just get 1/3 Toshiba, 1/3 WD, 1/3 Seagate.

If you log in to the CF dashboard every 3 months or so you will see pretty clearly they are slowly trying to be a cloud provider like Azure or AWS. Every time I log in there is a who new slew of services that have equivalent on the other cl

GRPC is a nice idea weighed down by the fact that it is full of solutions to google type problems I dont have. It seems like a lot of things have chosen it because a "binary" like rpc protocol with a contract is a nice thing to ha

It isnt so much that they "were so good". It isnt like the people using the net before facebook etc just stopped what and how they were doing things and moved to facebook. The large tech firm offering were easier, it allowed peopl

The average life of a consumer good anymore is sometimes measured in months. By the time you know the compressor on a particular fridge model is junk that model is no longer sold. I have found with the exception of very expensive brands, 20

What format does that take? Is it the "Click Ok to agree to everything so you can use the app" type crap? I am reticent to give Tesla the benefit of the doubt.

The internet is shrinking. The value of indexing the wider internet has less and less value to the average person. So much sits in walled gardens now and for many people that is perfectly fine. If it isnt in tiktok or instagram it doesnt ex

They totally let you. How many people do you think go in and change the default? Otherwise paying to make Google the default would not have any value.

I found it only took me ~20 minutes to get Open-WebUI and Ollama going on my machine locally. I don't really know what is happening under the hood but from 0 to chat interface was definitely not too hard.

Go is definitely used a lot more outside of google as of late. Anecdotally I would say where a lot of companies would have used Java in the past they are now turning to go for their server-side/backend service implementations.
