After reading the entire thread I am still in the dark about what exactly the author wants to see changed. The narrative that frameworks = bad and vanilla js = good falls apart qui…

Best Buy I suppose

Facebook does in fact habe this as well, they regularly even take out entire datacenters to see if the remaining ones take over automatically.

I think in some ways this is also a question of specialized vs universal tools. If I plan a vacation with friends I believe I could do it 90% of the way just as well with a plain o…

As a nearly daily user of Google Stadia I have to disagree. I use Stadia in two different households, one with a 50 Mbps connection (where Stadia works perfectly) an one with a con…

I have been creating most of my infrastructure diagrams in https://arcentry.com/ and this seems to me like an overcomplicated version of Arcentry.

On iPadOS 14 the bedtime feature got removed entirely since there is no Health App available for iPads. I guess i have to say goodbye to using my iPad as a high tech alarm clock fo…

Looks promising! Does deepstream work well as a standalone server or is it best used in combination with express.js if I am building a real-time web app?

I believe one essential step in the right direction would be to create an ad platform that allows companies to create and developers to show truly passive ads. To specify what I me…

> by the chase of profit I am honestly surprised how Google was able to keep up YouTube for so long despite a severe lack of profits. Even though Youtube made a net loss in the hun…

As far as I know they didn't, about 2 years ago they just replaced several high value bills over night to battle corruption (you essentially had to go to a bank to get your old bil…

Yeah, I just realized it's called fractional scaling too, my bad. It is still important though, because on 14inch desktops the Ubuntu interface looks way too small on 100% scale an…

Factorial scaling means being able to set the entire desktop scale to 120%, 140% and so on. It is important to me because most of the work I do in my PC is text based (coding and r…

Most of these pain points go away if you purchase the iGPU only version. I own a Thinkpad T470 and Ubuntu works like a charm. The only issue I still have is that the Gnome interfac…

When it comes to the greater public, default settings might as well be the only available setting. Apart from a few 'techies' most people will never even touch the default settings…

The service itself is really cool and lines up nicely with the likes of Netlify and Github pages. I have two concerns though: 1) This doesn't seem to be connected to any major comp…

This seems like 'growth hacking' gone wrong. Facebook's growth has been loosing momentum for several year's now and it seems to me they are trying to make up for it by using every …

I feel like the main advantage AWS has at this point is that "everyone is using it". While it may not give you a competitive advantage over your competitors, it at least doesn't pu…

Personally I feel like the most ridiculous part about the App Store is Apples so called "developer program". Charging 99€ a Year for a nearly nonexistent service is absurd, especia…

IIRC they ended the DTAG transit agreement due to DTAG having unreasonable pricing requests for the renewed agreement (i.e. DTAG holding Hetzener hostage, you can read more about i…
