It's not memory intensive at all - just CPU bound

I have a very cpu intensive application in Rust, that is able to use all cores given to it. I am thinking about going for the Epyc 7502p with 32 cores but having a hard time knowin…

I'm from Sweden and biked NY to SF a few years ago. During the two months it took I never locked my bike (didn't brought a lock at all). Just a related a anecdote ;)

Just switched to AWS from DO after 5 years. DO was working great, but needed a more managed solution (am very familiar with the sysadmin, but just wanted to reduce workload) so wen…

I think In 99% of the cases, the costs, work and effort by far outweighs possible benefits.

As the sole dev in my company, I have spent last few weeks to look at other solutions to DO as well. I can work it out fine as is, it's just that nowadays I am getting more and mor…

I cycled from NY to SF 2015, with a detour to Chicago. I've done lots of bike touring in other parts of the world, but would say US is one of my top countries for bike touring!

I would say 99% of SUV owners do not need an SUV.

Oh, their DDoS protection was one of the reasons we were thinking about moving away from DO. It is a public facing SaaS API which does not have much traffic in terms of requests, b…

We now use a DigitalOceans managed database with 0 standby nodes, coupled with another instance running Django. It is working good. We are however actually thinking about switching…

Yeah good question, maybe it feels overkill. I also found Gridsome which also looks very interesting

Thanks, had a look at Gridsome which is the vue equivalent- looks great

Let's say I have an app, residing at app.example.com. I want a separate landing page for this app at example.com. This landing page should be easily managed for updating content an…

I tend to get jealous when I see people working with their hands, prefferably outside. Sometimes I even observe the guys cleaning the street and thinks, maybe its not that bad afte…

Thanks, helps a lot. It is an unsolicited, however we pass all requirements. Is it generally okay asking the company if there is any vendor behind the RFQ (will they really reveal …

When receiving RFPs from large companies, how much effort do you put in answering the sometimes endless questions? Is it okay to leave questions empty? There is I guess an optimal …

Hi, I'm an engineer in Mechatronics and have been working as a Software Engineer for about 5 years. Lately I have got the desire to go out and teach others and do it in countries w…

Hi. I have since about 5 years been running a self funded B2B SaaS, with around $150k ARR. With marginal costs, it gives an ok income. I have done all the development and sales mys…

I cycled through Africa, from Europe, with South Africa as destination ten years ago (took me 9 months). Fascinating continent.

Nice! Would also love if you provided a continent code (like "EU", "NA", ...)

Go out on a cycling tour, cross a continent(s) or just a small tour. You will not regret it.

Fantastic. I also believe we are slaves to the cars, in such a way that we have become blind to the fact how they destroy our societies and people. Most people are so used to the c…

Reading this makes me feel there is still hope.

Cars have to some extent led us through part of the industrial revolution. However, it's my belief that cars, except from polluting the environment and destroying our cities - make…
