All of these services are bundling the underlying AWS/GCP/etc resources in an easier to use package.

My personal biggest gripe is the Gmail app on iPhone. There is no possible way to stop it from trying to force you to change your default browser to chrome every 2 weeks when you o…

From what I remember, the later years of English class (in Ontario) are more focused on literary criticism than effective communication. This was a frustration for me personally, a…

To be fair, Zendesk was founded in 2007. Ruby on Rails was new and hot back then.

Maybe dumb question- I've never been in a truck. Wouldn't the distance from seat to window be ~pretty much the same whether it's CoE or conventional? There's a hood in front of you…

.ca as well.

Interesting that the method for this interface was imagining writing the word, I guess too many random thoughts would enter your writing if it was just based on mental-verbalizing …

My perspective is a manager of a product team on an app with high growth. My team has our own backend and we interface with other platform teams for specific functions in the finan…

Unlike the sealed beam headlamps however, this law isn't requiring any particular technology. It's just outlawing a known harmful one. In some ways this is nicer because a company …

I suppose one could argue your scary example has already occurred. I believe stripe cut off Donald Trump [1]. As a non-American, I don't really care about Trump and may be a bit ig…

I'm in management. While the job description always says spend a significant amount of time coding, I tend to eschew that if I can get away with it. I'm only writing code if I need…

It seems US Government spending is less than 20% and has been since the 1970s? [1]. Curious if I am mis-understanding you here. 2013-2018 is also roughly in line with the spending …

I can't find my sources for this but I wrote a paper about it in University. The last time something like this was promised (by the previous Harper government), they made most of t…

I feel this. As someone who grew up in the 4chan hey-day, the internet I fell in love with was extremely inappropriate and anarchic. Shooting the shit about whatever inane thing 4c…

I'm curious, in the various responses to this comment people are really getting into this interesting concept of certain political ideologies replacing the church, and resembling a…

I don't disagree with your underlying feeling here, that is to say I'm on your side of the fence. But don't you think it's a bit extreme to label people sociopaths, insane, evil, i…

It's all lies. I used to believe this line of thought about China. "We aren't expansionist like the US, we just want to do things our way inside of the country". It's not true. Chi…

That would be cool for aftermarket HUDs. As far as making a useful HUD goes, some carmakers are already doing that. I have a 2019 Mazda CX-5 and it has a HUD that is projected on t…

I already think of Auth0 as being the stripe of the auth world. What frustrations did you run into with them, and what are your goals to differentiate with feather?

If you are talking about the UPX, that’s not an LRT line. It’s just a regular train. But I don’t think it’s a fair comparison based on routes. On the UPX line those are 1 direct st…

Do you mean that Germany buries their transmission lines? Or that the neighborhoods are built with buried wires?

What does SFH stand for?

If there's anyone I would be concerned about it's the Ontario premier, but sure go on ahead down to the US where they ostensibly don't build uninspired buildings in their cities or…

I believe it stands for Marketing Funnel Automation. Basically sites that suck people in and point them to an affiliate link to earn a little bit. Could be wrong.

I can't believe they are patting themselves on the back for performance. I'm running a brand new macbook pro, latest chrome, fiber internet AND asana fully cached. It still is a 6 …
