Slack the company really needs to embrace distributed work practices if they want to actually build a tool for distributed work practices. Slack has totally become a drag on productivity and a net negative. Channel and message overload is a

As much as I like retool, it's not open source.

Rails has active admin and a couple of similar options. I've built quite complex apps with activeadmin, it's worth looking at.

I am observing that there is no correlation between location of hosting and quality or user experience. OP used DropBox as a reference for a company that moved off AWS. My observation is that DropBox sucks.

Testing Rates are directly linked to the Infection Rate. Is there a correlation between testing regimes and lockdown?

Also ... Dropbox is a good example of a product that has lost it's way. It went from a very simple and clear product with strong value to something we all now work around. Its more reliable to email or slack files than deal with whatev

I would expect Netflix to have reasonably detailed strategic analysis and projections of all of the available options - moving to Google, moving to Azure, moving to Oracle, moving to multi-cloud, colocation, not to mention things we can&#x2

All the big providers have had and will continue to have challenges. Any issue that is a product of too much success is a good problem to have. MS are still the biggest player in productivity so pandemic affected them differently.

You don't have to share the whole desktop on zoom. You can share single apps or even windows of an app. Use it all the time and it is flawless. I am unsure what OBS is but it sounds like you're recording your screen via webcam and

Seems really unlikely that it would not be stored in the Sydney Region (ap-southeast-2) and encrypted at rest. AU gov has a preferred supplier agreement in place, none of this is very controversial. There is a lot of confusion because none

Australia is one of several countries who did impose restrictions early and the data is pretty compelling. We meet all criteria: "Stay-at-home orders, low assembly thresholds, and business closures". We have several states with 0

I would have shut that down too. I feel for the maintainers in this case. The stakes are so low.

This too. And then you're only as good as the interoperability your platform is providing.

I agree that opionated frameworks can reduce complexity. I was Rails for a very long time. But moving to a new language that you can't hire for seems like an extreme reaction to "our config is complex". One good thing about a

I find it fascinating that the author is leaving one fringe language with a small community for another fringe language with a small community- in this case Bucklescript. I've never found the productivity benefits of these JS alternati

If your answer to a privacy concern is "use a Google product" you may not quite understand Google's business model. Zoom is as good as video can be in 2020. Google may be on parity, but tools like WebX are laughably inferior.

I see a lot of comments along the lines of "plenty of candidates" ... Which is probably true, but the candidates are preselected for tolerance of the process and capacity to study and prepare relentlessly. There is a reputational

If you have strong technical oversight that can align outsourced development to your technology strategy then it can work. I've worked with many non-technical founders saddled with a surprisingly expensive outsourced MVP weighed down

Last year I did the initial phone screen for a management level role at large search company and the next step was the infamous code test. Such a hard pass. Maybe it's different at a FAANG but my day job is communication and coordinati

You probably have both. "Raw" data lands in the lake S3 or similar object store. Processing pipelines take data, slice and combine, and push data back to the lake. Data in the lake will vary from the truly raw like log files to hi

Book explicitly mentions slave farms in the East. But yes, cannibalism and human forage is not sustainable, but might stretch a 10 day supply to 15.

Orc supply logistics is eased somewhat by the ability of the Orc armies to eat the defeated and if required, each other. In the latter case the strong orcs eat the weak, preserving the elite and veteran parts of the army. There is a strong
