I've owned two editions of this book and when working on 3D graphics, this was the most useful book in filling the gaps of mathematical knowledge & understanding. One of the issues…

Was this article written with GPT3? It sure reads like it.... This is what Shortlyai spat out for me: I like it that the boat in the Suez canal is stuck, I really do. I can't help …

Oh dear. Yet another article that reinforces conflicting messages and gives ammunition to whoever wants to be "in charge" of a product. No. This is not the authoritative model. It'…

Re: Stack Overflow, while I agree with you, most of my experience with SO downvoting has purely to do with other members thinking "I feel this is a stupid question so I will downvo…

Question for others running marketplaces: how does Stripe Treasury and Connect play with other payment systems? Or they simply don’t? The issue we have is that a large percentage o…

For me, I find woodworking and more specifically cabinet-making to be a very full-brain activity much like programming. It requires both left and right brain - technical and creati…

It depends on your use case. If you're doing relatively straightforward image processing, e.g. resizing on the fly, absolutely Vips is amazing. Check out imgproxy, imaginary, etc. …

Actually K8S itself as a standard is not complex/hard. If you are a developer and user/consumer of K8S, use it! If the cluster is managed by someone else, K8S is great. It only get…

Not sure about RancherOS and how much it factored into the sale. It could end up merged/transitioned into some Suse-container OS offering The enterprise K8S business is compelling,…

How are you using vanilla Kubernetes? I've tried provisioning vanilla K8s on bare metal clusters and I found it to be pure PITA, even with Kubespray. Rancher's RKE is the first ins…

Well congrats to the team for the exit. But I am really hoping that this will continue the great momentum that Rancher has. I've come to quite enjoy Rancher products. I think the w…

It's funny that the original title for this article on CBC was actually "Zoom chats short circuit a brain function essential for trust: Don Pittis | CBC News" and the article only …

I am struck by how beautifully expressed this letter is. @antirez, thank you so much. It's really great to see when someone who is totally honest with themselves and what sparks jo…

Speaking of carving out a niche on Spotify.... If your kid ever asks Siri/Google/Alexa to play the poop song a few cents of royalties goes to Matt Farley aka the Toiletbowl Cleaner…

> Users can fail to configure mailto links to point at their preferred email client irrespective of it being web-based or native. (Unless it is the default for the platform I guess…

True. Whenever I sit and watch people use the computer (just watch when they are giving a presentation/screen sharing), I often cringe. Many don't use the scroll on their mouse/tra…

To clarify, all browsers CAN handle the mailto link as long as the user configures it to open the correct email client. That’s key because there’s many oblivious users who don’t ev…

A lot of people already mentioned here the Home button. Anecdote: for years we kept getting users asking for a back to top button and we always told them to just use the Home butto…

Honestly I have given up trying to “keep” engineers because it’s a losing battle. It’s impossible to compete with big tech. From the offers I’ve seen, if FAANG/Big Tech really want…

I feel it depends on what you mean by "bad code". We went through a very tough journey ourselves. When I started the company, I wanted us to just use out of the box Rails. But some…

Getting vulnerable here for a sec and hoping that others can add their thoughts. I struggle with this. As a small-ish, bootstrapped business, the issue I commonly run into is devel…
