As a Kagi long time user, and a Linux die-hard, I don't get the obsession with having everything being open source. This will sound overly critic (sorry before hand), but what do y…

Meanwhile Europe still doesn't have a cloud hyperscaler, so most of these €200B will end up in the coffers of Amazon, Google and Microsoft, the real winners.

Error handling is really not an issue that needs fixing in Golang. That being said, I wish Golang had an assert key word as a shortcut to "if cond { panic }". A lot of those "if er…

You answered your own question. I don't want my great-grand-children to be the first to have a great Linux Desktop. Ideally, I would like to have it now. Unfortunately, as things g…

Sincerely, The Gatekeeper.

Imagine you did have an idea, put a lot of effort building it, just so that some random person takes a dump on your work. It wouldn't be nice, would it? Unnecessarily harsh and mis…

The proposed ToC looks amazing, and I can't wait to get my hands in this book. One thing that seems omitted though, which can have significant impact in performance, is I/O. That w…

Critically missing from the text are the definitions of "external" vs "internal" bootstrapping. The author left us all guessing, and by the look of the comments here, no one has fi…

> This is a solved problem. Hosting a gigantic monorepo for 25K concurrent users is so far from a solved problem.

Nice product. It's always good to see more choices in the authz space. I think Ory (Kratos) is a critical omission in the comparissons page, given the Ory suite seems to be one of …

I stopped at "Good Programmers". Seriously though, it would have been perfectly fine to phrase it as "Exploring the correlation between Code Style and Competitive Programming Perfo…

There has been a lot of talk recently about the Public Cloud premium, how expensive it can get to run something in the 3 Big Cloud Providers, and generally to be cautious about it.…

Not A Lawyer. The Court of Appeals decided to take this case to trial because it is novel and will probably serve as precedent for future cases. There has been no decision on liabi…

That means 1y6m per job? I know it might not mean anything relevant, but it might look like job hopping for the hiring companies. Also, market is pretty tough right now, and floode…

Isn't there a wide ecosystem of options between "I have to physically go to DC to configure new server" and "Storing everything in EvilCorp Public Cloud"? There are several hosting…

Actually, I thought about it twice and I retract what I said about this specification being pointless for building tools compatible with protobuf. Reasons: * The language itself is…

Echoing some of the sentiment here: although this was certainly a great effort and the result is awesome, that is NOT The Protobuf Language Specification, for as long as the mainta…

Note about the title: I really clicked the link to learn about how to use cloud metrics to fuel my monitoring needs. Imagine the surprise with what I found.

That sounds a lot like a "immortality project", as described by Becker in The Denial of Death [1]. [1] https://ernestbecker.org/about-becker/beckers-synthesis/#:~:... .

> As a developer I prefer Jira over every alternative I've tried (Clubhouse, Trello, GitHub Issues, and Monday.com). I also prefer JIRA, but that doesn't mean I love it. It just so…

In London it's common for people to take 25y~30y loans that are fixed for only 2y~5y. 5 years ago interest rates were 2.5%. If rates go above 10% this year, does that mean a sudden…

Never thought I would see "overwhelmingly" and "60%" used as synonyms.

To whomever might be curious, the author probably is talking about MUTYH-Associated Polyposis. If you have 2 of the wrong genes, you are very likely to develop colorectal cancer at…
