So everybody is in it for the money? Noted.

Where’s the part where anybody defrauded anybody? This was clearly incompetence that benefited nobody (certainly the developers would rather not have TITAN implode and all of this …

Polygon right now has capped the number of validators at 100, and the protocol atop which it is built (Tendermint/“Peppermint”) only remains fast and cheap if the “active set” of v…

Though a classic, I think we can all agree this is literally the opposite of what the OP is asking for...

DigitalOcean Spaces offers S3 API compatible object storage (i.e. you can use any S3 client library without modification) and a seamlessly integrated CDN that is markedly cheaper t…

Having used and written on this subject extensively, you are right but in practice these approaches mean something along the lines of making a single primary key lookup (like 0.1 t…

I agree. I hope this will be enough of a disaster in terms of optics that it renders him unfit and forces this outcome.

Honestly, as a person who prizes Apple’s products and happily depends on them for work, personal life, etc. I think Tim Cook needs to either open up sideloading or be promptly fire…

Just to add to this - it is true. I have researched this subject incidentally many months ago. ON Semiconductor is one of the more relevant companies in this domain. They are a pub…

SEEKING WORK - NYC or remote Available for on-site contract work in New York City or remote 4 years Ruby on Rails experience: deeply versed in and loyal to the idioms of the framew…

Congratulations on an income-generating project! That's an immense achievement. Perhaps the infrastructure cost is worth the headaches you spare yourself by being on GAE but have y…

My progression has been PaaS -> AWS -> Digital Ocean -> Dedicated and I strongly feel that if you're going to make the leap from PaaS to VPS, it's not a whole lot harder to go dedi…

This assertion is, categorically and empirically, ridiculous. Yes, the runtime and framework are slow compared to something like go and Revel, but that is not the principal benefit…

When I was doing this, I was leaning toward going the 3rd approach, but it seemed a really momentous undertaking. That would definitely be a boon to the future of PaaS projects tho…
