Because I was curious what drives cost today -- 20 TB drives on newegg seems to be available for $310 to $360. If you use erasure coding w/ 30% overhead that's 18 +3 drives or $7.5k in drives alone, pre chassis. Having a DR repli

I assume he/she meant scale == grows (mostly independently) of human hours. Support can never scale; only fixing your software so that it doesn't trigger support needs scales. Otherwise, each support request linearly requires hum

It forces them to structure their work so they don't need constant realtime questions from teammates generating constant interruptions.

Sure, but I think Google's commanding marketshare is more at risk than it has been in a long time due to their fumbles in the AI space.

I meant more morally than de facto. As in the buyer of that service, I expect support (and will move to O365 if it is unavailable.) Though in a perfect world there would be more than 2 choices... To be honest, I have gotten pretty good su

There's a pretty big difference, though, between an ad-supported free-to-use service vs a service I pay $216/u/y for.

Apologies, my only disagreement was that it was Hotwire that requires care when I really think it's the entirety of Rails. Thanks again for the suggestion on intertia.js !

Nonsense -- they do as long as Mark, and his chosen exec team, control whether they work there or not. Anything else is a pretty lie people tell themselves because they like the paycheck.

eh, some vendors take this to mean daily (or twice daily) emails. They get the spam flag too for not being respectful of my inbox.

fwiw, I disagree with your take on Hotwire: that's really all of Rails. Rails is built for expert users and you simply must be disciplined about how you build it or you will regret it; I don't think that's unique to Hotwire

A company with billions of dollars of investment investing a relatively small sum as an early commitment -- which is likely is the sort of thing that gets you preferential access -- into a AI chip company seems ... just smart? AI chips are

I found this interview with Shane MacGowan... something. Maybe touching? Two excerpts: > I didn’t, of course, expect him to look like the gangly youth with the terrible teeth who looked as if he’d bleed adrenalin. I knew that the terr

But it's so much more pleasant -- esp the testing and mocking support -- than all the other languages I've tried.

Convincing two constituencies: employees and customers, that your company isn't just yolo-ing things like ceos and so forth seems like it is a pretty good use of ceo time!

The inability to clearly and publicly -- or even if not publicly, to the OpenAI employees! -- explain a rationale for this is simply astounding.

1 - not running a move like this by the company that invested a reported $10 billion dollars; 2 - clearly not having spent even 10 seconds thinking about the (obvious) reaction of employees on learning the ceo of what seems like a generatio

It's amazing the efforts companies and businesses will go to to avoid understanding the effects of housing on labor supply. Shitty roads in a town without even decent cellphone coverage -- so basically forget amenities like internet -

I think it's rather a cautionary tale of never growing income to meet your expenses. They never made a business; just a vc then yahoo then verizon then automattic-owned charity.
