Nothing beats the Dreamforce swag at the SF good will locations.

These are the real questions

In the age of the fully remote office, have you hired a Director of IT? Working with an outsource IT company? Not worrying about IT in general? Specifically wondering around user l…

Apparently a pump and dump

Ya, reading this article makes me think this person has never actually used a taxi (at least not one outside of Manhattan, which has probably the best cab system in the world). Thi…

The terminology around seed vs a vs b is so skewed right now, but a 50 person series a startup, just estimating, is a 5 mil per year burn. Hard to say exactly the raise, but person…

I'm looking for a good white label reporting solution that I can embed in my web app. I'm thinking back to the days of Crystal Reports or SSRS where you'd have a server running and…

I wanted to sign up for this as an individual, but you need to be at least a 10 person company, so I couldn’t. No idea why they’d have that restriction

I'd say the counter example to this is Powershell - if you've ever used it, it's quite verbose and can be less than pleasant to write. I think having both options is the best, when…

How do you think you compare to Cockroach? Besides the query semantics, I’m curious about the depth of the thought around cross region / cross continent and horizontal scaling conc…

Does anyone know much about the tech on this? I assume when they say persistent they mean across VM restarts, but are they actually doing some sort of disk persistence too?

I love GCP’s postmortems - they’re open, honest, insightful, and I wish I could get my company to OK us releasing details like this when we have outages. It’s part of the reason I …

And I thought I got bored at work...

1. Measure What Matters - John Doers book about OKR’s is awesome, best business book since Lean Startup 2. Bad Blood - Just started it and it reads like John Grisham 3. The Rise an…

I don’t really mind these buildings - juxtaposition is always a legitimate form of artistic expression, I don’t think that goes away in architecture. Would it perhaps be better to …

Exactly, similar issue exists with nearly all package manager tools - you’re putting a lot of trust in a lot of people you don’t know.

It relies on the parties to take an action (that they are both incentivized to take in order to see if they won). This is similar to atomic swaps - they setup a time boxed window w…

There have been some other answers, but I’ll add first, people may just want to bet BCH - if it’s possible to do, even with a limited instruction set, why not figure it out? Second…

Am I missing something? End 2 end implies client to client, no server access to keys...doing server to client with full key access isn’t even a particularly hard problem, the tough…

I actually really like Visual Studio Code, I could imagine a great product coming out of the marriage of Code and Atom. I could also imagine infighting killing Atom, but I’ll try t…

But isn’t that sort of the issue? If you make assumptions about overall code quality, you’ll probably let smaller stylistic things slide because “this is a good coder.” I think abo…

Ya, looks just like other escrow proposals that have been put forth - high level, there's no real escrow mechanism that won't, or can't be abused.

I've found my life is a lot happier and I'm a lot less frustrated if I replace "blockchain" with "distributed database" in my mind any time these types of discussions come up. Tech…
