    Great to know. I think the fear is that so many companies are prioritizing AI workloads for the valuation bump rather than delivering actual meaningful value.

    Check out this Dockerfile template if you're building Rust in Docker: https://depot.dev/docs/container-builds/how-to-guides/optima... What makes Depot so fast is that they use NVMe…

    I missed it too, but then found this: https://github.com/earthly/earthly/issues/4313

    GitHub Actions started off great as they were quickly iterating, but it very much seems that GitHub has taken its eye of the ball and the improvements have all but halted. It's rea…

    We faced this at my last company and this is actually a super mild case. In our case, we were dealing with call toll fraud. We ended up with tens of thousands of dollars in charges…

    This letter is clearly not written by someone who interacts with customers. As someone who has tried to work with Elastic, their pricing is atrocious even for the most basic of fea…

    I saw that and I can't speak for HBO Now, but my experience with WatchESPN (which apparently also streams through BAMTech) has been abysmal. This may be incredibly naive of me, but…

    I think this is a terrible idea, but time will tell. As a former Hulu employee, I can say that the media rights business is a mess. It took us (and Netflix) a very long time to con…

    Full disclosure, I work for Highfive. My coworkers and I are here and ready to answer any questions!

    I've been wondering the same thing. At the very least you should be able to argue that they've changed the contract and you should no longer be held liable for early termination.

    I agree completely. My bet is this is Comcast's way of fighting back against net neutrality. With 4K streaming coming fast, it seems like they want to further pad those profit marg…

    That's not true. Infrastructure costs money, absolutely. But infrastructure is largely a fixed cost (plus some maintenance cost). After that, it's all peering arrangements. ISPs he…

    You're paying for a rate, not an absolute amount. The internet infrastructure works on that rate (bandwidth). You don't buy a 10GB switch or router, you buy a 1gbps switch or route…

    Well aware of contention ratios. That's the gamble the ISP makes. Now they're trying to pass the risk onto the consumer. That shouldn't be the consumer's problem. That problem also…

    That's not what's going on. You're not paying a flat price. If you want more bandwidth, you pay for it. The currency for an ISP is bandwidth. The amount of data that's transferred …

    There is nothing reasonable about this. You pay Comcast for bandwidth. It shouldn't matter how much data you're using as long as you're not exceeding that bandwidth. If I pay for 2…
