As someone who has spent a good deal of time playing poker, I totally agree that this is a glaring editorial oversight. Yet when phrased this way, it reminds me of "I'd rather be l…

I'm equally surprised by your anecdote. I found it quite simple to install RabbitMQ server and its admin panel in my WSL local dev environment. And the cloud/prod instance took a f…

I'm running Discourse on a $5/mo droplet, 1 vcPU 1GB RAM. I just added 4GB of swap space. No issues so far.

The article didn't mention the lack of version control, which AFAIK is impractical due to the sheer amount of HTML and layout-defining configuration WP stores in the db. In spite o…

“What we want to do is to become the operating system for the open web. We want every website, whether it’s e-commerce or anything to be powered by WordPress." God help us all.

You're right there, not sure what I was thinking there. Regardless, my original point is still valid. You could serve web/MacOS/Windows/Linux users with a single UI.

Yelp has always been a thinly veiled extortion platform, overrun by spam, yet surprisingly quick to filter legitimate five-star reviews. I tried their paid advertising for a client…

I certainly am. The only thing I disagree with is the lack of a web client. It just seems like you could save a ton of work by starting with the web client, then create desktop ver…

That's an entirely different conversation... I do think Uber in particular was great at creating hype and glossing over the fact that their pricing/model isn't sustainable without …

These are both wildly unprofitable companies, and they may likely never become profitable. Possibly not the best examples...

Found this at https://crates.io/crates/bloom-server : > A simpler caching approach could have been to enable caching at the Load Balancer level for HTTP read methods (GET, HEAD, OP…

Indeed, this was bad. I assume they were trying to extend SSD lifetime by reducing writes. It's fair to note that scrubbing is now the default behavior when a droplet is destroyed,…

I agree with his overall message - it's hard (and takes time) to actually do something valuable. And I agree that we're in an age where iterative startups ("Uber for X") outnumber …

I prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt, though a clear explanation of why the above policy was not followed seems warranted. (It also doesn't appear to have been followed i…

I'm no longer able to edit the above comment, so to elaborate on #1: Following is a comment[1] by Moisey Uretsky in another thread[2]: > Depending on which items are flagged the ac…

Mistakes happen, and algorithms are sometimes a necessary part of scale/efficiency. Everyone understands that. That said, what's highly troubling as a DO customer (and someone who …
