The irony with Google, er alphabet, a search company, is that the search feature are deeply flawed in their products. If you have thousands of resources in GCP, for example, the se…

I think it’s intellectually stimulating that people are taking a systemic and scientific approach for a niche kind of restaurant

Funny enough, I’m a Vietnamese person from Portland and was doing this exact same analysis in Paris (highest density of overseas Vietnamese population) visiting a dozen places last…

> "we don't accept pull requests" Any posts on the internet archives to understand the history ?

> Gen Z buying iPods and people buying N64 games again And Pokémon cards because this generation has less ability to afford big purchases like a house or having a child

Git is the API. Github/Gitlab would be a provider of the filesystem. The problem is app developers like Google want to own your files.

Another reason to golf. It's not quite right, but it's a fun goal to fit an app within the first few TCP roundtrips. https://endtimes.dev/why-your-website-should-be-under-14kb-i...…

Do you view passenger drones as a competitor? Photography and hobbyist drones are easy enough to control, and I would expect a manual passenger drone to follow that consumer model.…

If you’re using TypeScript then you have a build step and package manager like NPM, which means packages and libraries are published in the NPM package registries. This website was…

We need to move towards “zero trust” for APIs. SaaS can provide “open core” or better yet simply sell a hosted version of their fully open source code. If the provider fails to pro…

My perspective as an ex-Google SWE: It is someone's quarterly performance review and OKR to improve SLO. One such SLO is average load time. If you set such metrics as a goal, and f…

For all of these companies lipservice to A.I., mapping still requires a high degree of human involvement to normalize.

"Total number of places across all Guides: 300" These limits wouldn't be an issue if Google Maps API actually allowed fetching saved list features.

I accumulated 8,000+ visited locations on Google Maps, but they've been increasingly abandoning "power users". You might want to reconsider before "investing" or being emotionally …

Why are mapping services so stingy with custom lists of pinned location? This announcement from Apple made me excited because Google Map's saved list has become unusable for me. I …

I remember a time when pure tech and traditional companies alike were hiring to expand their data engineering teams. This was during the Hadoop and Spark era when people would impl…

Having worked in GCP, it is not surprising at all to me that Google, despite having the resources, can’t productize an LLM. It feels like OP question stems from a belief that all t…

That’s what I like about Go. The platform is prescriptive, but in all the right places. For things like this, Go leaves the abstraction building to you, if you need it.
