The fundamental diff between feature flags and config is the former is meant to be a soft deploy of code where everyone is expected to eventually be on the new code. Thus it should have a timer built in where it stops, and you should consi

Just buy Apple hardware. They're currently bugging me about updating a 9 year old ipad I just use as a kindle. They flatly blow Google away on device updates, and will continue to do so even if Google isn't lying about their new

It shouldn't. Look into the vast majority of these complaints and you'll feel reassured. eg this -- they're trying to, per their site, get lots of credentials from Stripe's other customers. It's pretty obvious why

Hmm. I'm asking because I've had some trouble with Duplicati. I use it on a laptop, and it does not like being interrupted during a backup. It also doesn't fail the backup, which would be fine; instead, it gets jammed on

Can you compare vs eg Duplicati? Do you (sorry, but just checking) repeatedly test backups? Eg pull monthly and bit verify that they're correct? Are you aware of anyone testing in this way? Thanks so much!

Kenji Lopez Alt really helped me learn how to cook. Much like software, when you read a cook book, there's normally all sorts of background knowledge required to understand how to make that recipe. Watching him do it conveys way more

If profit is 25% of revenue, then 4 percent of revenue is 16 percent of profit. Not sure what your equation is besides randomly putting numbers on a line.

You can see why Meta, and likely Google, are quitting news though. eg Google's profit was approx 25% 2022q3. So this would be a 16% of profit tax. Oof.

Well, they continue to be sold for 2 years or more, which demonstrates the paucity of the 3 years of updates from the release date. Meanwhile Apple quietly is bugging me to update my 9 year old ipad.

The fundamental problem is they haven't built an asset, and now they're trying to sell a job and likely deluded about the value. If all you have is a business that supports a good wage for 1-2 overworked owners, that's worth
