Seriously the amount of gloating is kind of absurd. Here in Australia we have "tall poppy syndrome" where we cut people who are above us, but this guy loves to brag about the crap he has.

It's actually ridiculous to surf the web without an adblocker. Let's say you have a brand new computer, and want to download nVidia drivers. Fire up your brand new computer, search for "nvidia drivers" using Bing.... and

Yep, it's called "domain drop", it's a pretty lucrative industry to be in. GoDaddy especially knows this and will auction off domains before selling them, where as third parties can try and register the domain every 0.00

Because all the cloud providers never have downtime, DNS issues, etc? :) At least when US east is down, half the internet is down.

I was amazed how easy it was to setup Nomad. I have a couple of VMs running on a VPS and Nomad works great for this use case. Super easy to maintain and works really well. Networking is my favourite part.

Salesforce doesn't even care about paying customers. Heroku has stagnated for years. Recent Heroku massive mistakes they've been making have been absolutely terribly handled by them. They also own Tableau, which has stagnated as w

Yep, it depends on what you want to do. Validating the SQL is correct is handy -- of course, but sometimes you need the AST.

I remember looking at a graph showing our frontend usage of various libraries. Moment was huge, because it depended on so much. At the time there's wasn't really a good alternative though.

I don't know of many with the cash to actually build and operate their own DCs? I don't think it's financially viable to do so, it's better to just rent part of one?

The moderation team is also sensible from what I can see. I very rarely see a gray post that is downvoted because it is offtopic, inflammatory, etc, instead of just another point of view.

If the app needs to access a feature, ask for it via the native app, isn't that what phones do? (I think?) Chrome has to go through the hoops on Mac every time it updates to re-allow it in Privacy Settings for Google Hangouts to work.

Exactly there are so many different contexts and how your deployment works etc. And also the size of your team and the size of your org.

Copilot only accesses the private repositories for the user it is authenticated with. I'm fine with them accessing public repositories, as long as they respect the license. Which they probably aren't for private? On a related note

I've wondered whether it's easier to add data analyst stuff to Elixir that Python seems to have, or add features to Python that Erlang (and by extension Elixir) provides out of the box. By what I can see, if you want multiprocessi

Yeah it's great for a web agency as clients just "get it".

Yeah tailwind ui components are great, especially for liveview. Surface (liveview templating) makes it super easy as well.

Right... which is why I said It's a great way to do small-medium features.

If your feature flags are behind such complexity you have a bigger problem than feature flags.

by thejosh 4y ago
Yep. And if nobody actually cares about the feature like everyone thought they would, great we didn't waste time. If they hate it (usually through feature flags of product trials), and work needs to be done, simply flip the flag back o

Because it's not just SO I want answers from. It's blogs people post, social media such as Reddit, HN, etc. I've found some fantastic articles out there, yes SO is a fantastic resource but there is an entire internet out ther

Amazon has been careful with the launch here in Australia, as our government won't hesitate to slap Amazon. They did a small launch where their inventory sucked, but they're expanding pretty rapidly with their own warehouses here

This is fantastic! This is exactly what I needed, thanks!

There has been a huge influx this year with the amount of sites that simply scrape SO and then have the exact content on their site. It's a pain, and there is no official way to remove them. I thought that this was a massive nono from

A lot of the first digits are actually used for parsing. It's not a fully unique number. USPS labels (and other labels from other couriers) are an incredibly fascinating subject you would never care about until you work in the industry

Except for the fact that it's incredibly gross to do so. Why the hostility?

I tried to pick up Rust a few years ago, but there were too many sharp edges. I thought it was a nice language, but was too early for actual use. I played with some libraries (Apache Arrow, etc) and it was nice. About 2 months ago I wanted

Hopefully pushing back upstream. I don't really care what they do, as long as they push back their usually awesome changes upstream. Great to see these sorts of things, Postgres has been amazing and glad people realise it.

Yep. It's just a shame reddit is such a mess now in terms of their devolution of UI (for example their "old" UI now shows random links in the middle, their mobile experience is trash, etc), which is a pain as there is so much
