Curious to see Josef answer this one. Sovol has been flatout copying Prusa part for part for a long time now. Qidi seems to be doing the same with Bambu. Time will tell, but their …

Hey, that's a very mature perspective. Thanks for sharing. Yes, I remember those days. I don't want to go back there, and I agree that we need to pursue balance in managing things …

Omg, that does bring a different perspective. I've heard of the dreaded broom cupboard and you're right, I don't want to go near it.

Good insight. I am into therapy and have been for a while. I don't intend to stop, because I see the positive impact it had in the other areas of my life. Perhaps it's time to addr…

Good advice, I thought I would do exactly that, and ended up at a startup. Looks like they are not trying to achieve super-scale, and that's good. Perhaps we're mired in the old wa…

I have 14 years in the software industry. Six years ago I joined BigCorp and made some money, but after four years I felt that I didn't accomplish much in terms of actual work. So …

Bambu leaped by 5 months at most. Everyone has high speed options now, with Prusa being notably last to ship. Speed isn't the only important factor, don't feed the Boat race.

Interesting takes on Linux and ipads. My 2-year old is interested in typing with colours. I found that the iPad is better in many ways: its size is perfect, the 1st gen keyboard is…

Um, k8s was built for hundreds of clusters. I doubt it's 0 adoption for 100+ clusters, we have hundreds across AWS and Azure. I've read of smaller companies building their own PaaS…

I used to do consulting calls on Clarity.fm. People looked me up and we had 1-2 hour calls on high-level stuff, but I feel that the more implementation-heavy discussions never real…

This comment is exceptional. Well put. I'm baffled by the lack of replies. It's probably because you made such a good case, that there's nothing to add. I've played poker and Roule…

The crux of the issue is scaling. Devops is, for the most part, automation. You could never run 500 nodes across 10 geos and 2 clouds by hand. What works for 100 http reqs/s cannot…

Is Datadog worth it? I thought it was too expensive, although they do have a lot of features.

Hi! Is there a tool to make sense of all the forks / most active forks from a github repo? I'm playing with React, and I bump into all sorts of tiny repos that solve one problem (o…

Yup, the colors are jarring. The contrast is very poor. My eyes hurt! I guess the UI isn't that bad, but the blue boxes with white text need to be replaced.

This is super awesome! I soo need this. Drafting with a structure is a part I often skip when trying to write something, which is why writing has become quite hard. I should stop d…

I'm actually trying to make this switch as well, for development services. I see a lot of value in putting a price tag on deliverables. Do you mind if I reach out over email to ask…

Found this book to be valuable when you think about different pricing models and what that means for your services as a provider: Pricing Design by Dan Mall https://abookapart.com/…

This is a remarkable point you're making. Everything is relative to one's own reality. Thanks for the comparison with runners, I will use it, it's a telling example of what recover…

"battery life, build quality, screen resolution" = total agreement, I can't wait to be back on Gnome 3.

Now that I think about it, mashable.com is a great example.

I'd like to know of a few examples of startups that tackle trending news topics based on number of stories, user engagement, social media stats etc Found a few good examples in New…

There would be no way of telling - someone might've just found your cc data some other way - but yeah, knowing that it's out there is scary. I'm still checking my balance every day…

Hotels will still ask you for your credit card, most (if not all) payments on Booking.com reservations are done upon arrival, and not online. So, honestly, Booking asking for your …

One more thing: they are sharing my personal data without my consent - in this regard, it is very different than me providing my card data over the phone.
