I think the complaint about Google specifically is that they seem to do these things and commit to what seem to be whole lines of business without an actual business plan to make i…

you can use a company that is self hosted like Unifi and have complete control over your data, still have remote access, and not pay a subscription. “self hosted” scares people off…

It does it quicker if you already have this tool installed. nmap is everywhere.

We use nanosecond precision driven by GPS clocks. That timestamp in conjunction with star tracker systems gives us reliable positioning information for orbital entities. https://en…

They also have one displayed at the Cleveland Clinic main campus _cafeteria_ Imo focusing in “showing off” instead of “providing value” is a bit of a product-smell. Maybe thats jus…

and also by ‘some countries’ they mean about 4% of the earth’s population, or 1 in 25 people.

I would throw Rimworld into that list as well. A fine game by itself, if a bit simplistic. But the mods make the game massively customizable and lets the player do basically whatev…

Ironically the _lack_ of dogfooding GCP products at google is often quoted as one of the reasons AWS beat GCP to defining the Cloud market. Amazon builds AWS on AWS as much as poss…

> won't try to fetch the default path until after the section of the page loads for HTML content That's a really interesting optimization. How did you discover this? Reading source…

In my understanding, a high rate of lethality is very counter-productive for viruses. If you kill the host, it can’t really spread.

I have to ask what motivates that. Defender has been extremely unproblematic and pretty good as far as MS software goes, for my experience at least.

> I also like to make things in Rust Seems like a good enough reason to use it to me, but perhaps I’m just another cult member. > we use Rust in production because we thought it wo…
