I used to read joelonsoftware religiously back in 2000 and it’s pretty funny seeing this post again in 2024.

I always miss the live Discord call and never realized they were published to YT! Thanks for the notice.

Yes but this is an article about said production deployment. Which should be more interesting.

For some reason I was expecting it to be more interesting than just being all-in on AWS services. Its fine and a reasonable approach but kind of a yawn in my opinion.

WSL v1 hasn’t gone anywhere. It likely won’t until they fix the issues with v2 and VPNs.

Edit: Wrong parent

I do not have what it takes to start a company! Namely motivation and business sense.

I wholeheartedly agree with this but want to add that the 80/15/5 split aren’t set in stone. It’s more like risk tolerance. The more you spend on the riskier activities (not exactl…

How was this legal? Missing a connecting flight means you’re detained and forced to buy a new ticket? Dispute that charge for not providing service as paid for.

I expand this idea a tad. 4-8 tabs per window. But then I organize tabs based on context. Then I can switch around contexts and still have my handful of tabs open. Sometimes that m…

You are correct but I don’t think that invalidates the point that if you want safe abortions you need to make them legal and regulated. I have no idea why they chose pills on the I…

One assumes they would have taken care of it during the legal timeframe. Not relevant if they didn’t in this case. There’s also other options still by going to other states, but th…

Just to clarify one possible misconception, the two ends would be the mother and daughter’s phones in this case. Meta shouldn’t have the key to decrypt accessible to them. You’re a…

The way to look at this is that this is what happens when you don’t have safe and legal medical abortions. Also this is one of the reasons why e2e encryption is so important. Meta …

> it is a deep subject with lots of unintuitive and frustrating corners, and you won't pick it up in a day or without scars. Do you have any examples of a corner that might give yo…

The word Uber has existed in English speaking countries for much longer than the ride sharing service. Using that spelling doesn’t affiliate you with the company. The opposite actu…

They surely could build what they released in a matter of months, but my guess is the jumpstart Meta had came from the Fediverse and not Twitter. There’s many similarities and they…

Is suc scaleable? I didn’t see any discussion of managing conversations across a cluster of ssh-capable hosts and you’re not going to support more than a few thousand with a single…

Of the three (Slack, Teams, Discord) I actually prefer Discord. Its the easiest to use, the fastest, etc. Too bad that any corporation of size uses Teams or Slack.

Can you explain how it’s not true? I’ve personally run software from the 90s. I am not a myth!

It seems dumb and it is dumb, but it’s also an important feature of Windows that your terrible app from the 90s can still run today with minor changes generally. Less so if it’s wi…

This isn’t exactly how Reddit worked either though. Each subreddit is a community with its own rules. I’d also not exactly how fediverse works except for direct links. You read pos…

This isn’t a criminal case so the process doesn’t involve guilt. It actually allows everyone to stay out of court. Unless the copyright holder then sues the uploader.

You should consider sharing if you think it’s notable.

There’s a bunch of costs to releasing closed source code as open source. Generally they’d have to have a team of developers review it, they’d need their lawyers to review it and an…
