At this point, the thread has over 700+ comments, but if any impacted Cloudflare folks see this and are interested in working on the same shape of problems, Fastly posted our "Who'…

How I've starting using the ForeverNotes model on top of Apple notes as a lightweight note tracking system, only to slowly extend and evolve it via various AI tools until I build a…

We didn't want to get too wordy with a post like this. But to be honest, if you are knowledgeable enough to spot that kind of gap, you might be a perfect fit for what we are workin…

This is an unfortunate state of all open source. The entire economic model is broken, but PSF is one of the better operationalized groups out there. Not to completely change the to…

This isn't good for the PSF, but if these "poison pill" terms are a pattern that applies to all NSF and (presumably) other government research funding, the entire state of modern s…

Disclaimer: not only am I a Fastly employee, I'm the Fastly employee quoted in the register article originally linked. We'd argue our stance and focus are a bit different. Our stan…

What you're proposing is testing two different variables in the same experiment. To dial in nutrition research, it's more traditional to control kcal count and test different nutri…

I'm an amateur olympic-style weightlifter with a similar schedule to yours, and after trying every trick diet in the book I've come to the same conclusion. The only real advantage …

I dunno, that sounds pretty good honestly. The only info I have on AWS's service is testimonials, so I don't have anything concrete. The industry we obsessively study/studied was h…

I work for an competitor to an AWS product. We've grown rapidly over the past ~7 years in a generally competitive (lots of startups, some really old tough incumbent companies). Wit…
