   let me give some hypothetical; let's say Canva decides to cut cost by cutting the amount of storage users could have (e.g. quota, or lifetime): - if they had a sunk cost CAPEX of 100 PB of storage, all they could do is sell the storage

   was about to mention this, I plan to also try a small project in flet to see how it works. I have done flutter/dart before, but was not so enthused about the dart experience.

   Data centers in general are NOT a dying breed, and it's more a case of rapidly growing, not dwindling. Perhaps you are referring to individual companies moving to the cloud, and colo type activity (albeit institutions with strict regu

   17.2%?!? That led me down the rabbit hole to find out beers with very high alcohol content. Apparently Brewmeister Snake Venom, at ABV 67.5%, is the highest.

   Bell Labs, JPL etc are part of a "lost" era of deep and broad research into CS, just like how NASA's push to the moon led to so many advancements still being used today. I dare say that the timeline of SVs and VC money, with

   For the free tier, Brave is 1tps capped at 2000/month. Bing is 3tps capped at 1000/month. Kagi is 100 searches total. Not sure what you mean by "quite" expensive? If you are comparing to other services like Google, th

   At the risk of shoehorning SQLite into this as a solution, would it? Does SQLite handle this type of data (big multidimensional time series sensor data) well?

    Let's go back to first principles. I launch 3 mortor rounds at you. What would you need to do, to be able to detect, intercept and disable said rounds before they reach you? I don't think anybody would say the cost to intercept

    So you are saying Quickbooks is trying to be the next SAP? (for those who don't know/understand, the "joke" in the industry about SAP is that it's a perfect fit for you, so long as you are willing to change all your

    OMG, durian, it's like a entire cult following, golden phoenix, sultan (d24), black gold, mountain cat, red prawn, black pearl, king of kings... Speaking of cult following, I once tried a durian that tasted rotten, so I warned my frien

    I'll add, dragonfruit. The typical purple one has a very mild taste (exceedingly mild to the point of tastelessness), but the yellow ones are really sweet.

    This really reminds me of how one of the protagonists gets past the gates in Foundryside/Shorefall (novel by Robert Jackson Bennett).

    There's a mindset amongst hackers that you can hack yourself, hence the popularity of life hacks, discussions of all sorts of drugs. I think it's up to each individual to decide whether they want to go that route and experiment w

    I'd echo what others say, KeePassXC on local storage, which you can then sync across devices either with syncthing, dropbox etc. However, I have just started exploring using vaultwarden (a rust rewrite of bitwarden, which is self-hoste

    I'm now in a new position which requires me to interface with Microsoft products regularly; outlook, teams, etc, are exactly what you say; why does it takes 5 seconds to search for a locally cached email, meanwhile ripgrep has parsed m

    I think it comes down to Deming really being a master of his trade. It reminds me of Bruce Lee's quote: “Before I learned the art, a punch was just a punch, and a kick, just a kick. After I learned the art, a punch was no longer a pun

    With python you can have your cake and it eat it, though. Mock up something fast, no type hints. Now, take that POC and make it production ready, by using mypy and pydantic.

    Sun's attempt to build a massively multi-thread system failed at that time, it's interesting to see the direction we have moved, almost 20 years later again (I say this whilst building a "new" 2nd hand epyc system with 3

    I'd like to rephrase this as "When your cat loves you feeding it so much, it wakes you up at 5am just to make sure you're still alive and able to feed it real-soon now".
