The Steam Deck is basically this. IMO it runs games in Linux better than Windows (especially with gamescope and the instant sleep and resume feature) and has played every game I have thrown at it. I assume at the pace Valve is updating Stea

If you freeze it, that doesn't happen (can get freezer burn but that's a different issue). Freezing a uncut loaf makes it very difficult to consume.

I mean he clearly didn't put much thought into this blog post, but from an engineering perspective I think the founder of Comma.ai could probably pull this off.

GCP has had a ton of price hikes and price reductions. This change tells us one of two things: 1) they want to use price as a way to influence customer behavior 2) A PM wants to get promoted and this is a way to hit whatever arbitrary metri

I think a really important factor is where in the reporting structure DevRel sits. I was a Dev Advocate at Google, and because we were in the engineering ladder there was not much of a comp difference between my role and a SWE. We had folks

I can see a little overlap between the two, but how are they competing with each other? With Link, you need a gaming PC running 24/7, and then you need another device and a controller to go with it. The Deck is all in one. It's li

This won't work with most cloud platforms. What do you do when a customer goes past the prepaid amount? Stop everything? Delete everything? Charge them anyway?

Fair, but that seems like a really really small segment of the market assuming it's legal. For 99% of businesses I don't think this is an issue.

My big question with using a Web3 login is what advantages it gives the website owner. With social Web 2.0 login, I can be fairly sure the person logging in has a valid email address, a name, etc, and it is a single click for the user vs fi

Yeah, you have to follow their design pattern / scaffolding very closely. The tradeoff is less flexibility for faster dev cycles.

I do not agree with that assessment at all. Next.js is great for making SPAs and full web apps. I've made three (profitable) projects with Next.js and never felt like I had to fight it

Yeah, it seems like all the new infrastructure features (websockets, gRPC, GBLB, VPC, etc) are coming to Cloud Run instead of App Engine.

These days, Standard uses gVisor so there are fewer and fewer constraints. Most things just work. Flex really is for the edge cases where you need really big instances or really long execution times. (I used to work at GCP)

They already said they would be 100% off x86 in two years: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/06/apple-announces-mac-t... We are still only 6 months into that transition.

Yeah but the price starts at $0 and scales linearly with traffic. > Also using GCR name for this is a bit weird when there’s already another GCP container product with the same exact name. Very true! Naming is hard

1) you can cap the max instances in GCR. You can put a limit of like 2 instances and ramp it up gradually. 2) it's 60k for a full month running at 100% capacity. Chances are you will notice this. This blog post is showing the upper lim

I think some people are missing the point when comparing this to a traditional VM setup. Yes it is way more expensive, but it lets you deploy something that works in 10 minutes vs messing with VMs and auto-scaling groups and all that jazz.
