It's easy to make a (poor) copy of the product. It's hard to execute the idea, take market share, and capture customer revenue. Asana blogged this year about 50k organisations, 6 q…

It'll be interesting to see where TS goes over the next couple of years. They seen to have a short roadmap. The proposed @types scaffolding seems interesting for solving issues wit…

Go along to a wine tasting if you want to see the difference. It's much easier to notice and appreciate flavours side by side than with different meals. I'm not a massive wine drin…

I have a workable setup with Gitlab CI - my g1-small runner starts a preemptible vm on GCE with docker+machine, and using node: alpine & coreos its about 5-10s before its ready and…

Why so much security focus on a non-internet connected PC, but so little focus on needing a non-internet connected (ever) printer? The printer is potentially an easier attack vecto…

It's not gobblygook, it's training at a serious level. Those levels correspond well with lactic acid levels in the blood, for various types of training. I've both rowed at a high l…

You can do everything you want with Firebase Remote Config, for free. Can even randomly pick out a % of any analytics audience you create.

Surely the (already) observable relative difference is more important than what the car thinks it's speed is? Both cars might read 60mph and go at different speeds. Therefore I don…

The website is unusable on mobile - too much animation pretty much killed Chrome and scrolling resulted in very gradual stuttering down through the pages segments.

I believe that most arguing over the internet doesnt qualify as debate, and consider it somewhat of a lost skill. Critical thinking/analysis is not undertaken by most people, parti…

I think you seriously underestimate the threat of a real fire - a mistake which a lot of people (rather sadly) make. People die in house fires because the do not wake up in time to…

It seems you've found the source of the obesity crisis!

Even better in Australia - A$100 limit on 'PayWave'/Contactless transactions. All you have to do is tap your card and wait a few seconds. UK has contactless, but lower limit and fr…

Thanks for sharing that link. I found it quite an interesting read. (I much prefer Swift to ObjC after a conversion of about 10k lines in an iOS app). C style for loops come pretty…

"spanning 10,000+ VMs handling 100+ microservices" ?

I'm currently using Firebase at work (startup, mobile app, web dashboards), and I think it's got some great features. It's not a replacement for SQL, but an entirely different prod…

With hot code pushing, you're deploying newly written code/functionality, post release (opening possibility of up MiTM attacks etc). With Remote Config you deploy the code, then de…

AFAIK Remote Config is just a server side key value store with customisable values based on audiences (e.g. random 50% for A/B testing, all people from Country X). This means all b…
