You're absolutely right!

Curious what people's experience is with these models. Anecdotally I tried these out earlier in the year and found it struggled with pretty basic full-stack coding I was doing, whe…

Even more troublesome, IMO. This as a gate to interviews leads to a really uninclusive hiring process.

I'm with ya, but that's because I'm an American who finds himself in the UK! Every UK keyboard I use is ever so slightly different, which drives me a bit crazy.

You may be able to host your development environment cheaper. Hetzner works out to be almost the same price as electricity of keeping my desktop up all the time for me.

Interesting. Thanks for the heads up. I've had the 8.99 offering for a while now and haven't had any issues... yet.

I've been loving Scaleway. It's a great service and I'm glad to see they're expanding. Hopefully they'll come to the UK and North America next.

We use DbFit every day at our shop. It's really changed how we work (as DB developers). Was funny that I thought of this project right after reading this article, and how I should …

Ransomware have spread via exploitable, unupdated versions of RDP, which is worrying. Better to listen on another port of RDP must be exposed to the Internet.

There's a large income exclusion that means unless you earn a really kick ass salary, you're unlikely to be double taxed.

Also the biggest problem is that almost everyone else one sends an unencrypted email to is not "NSA-proof."

Baptism by fire, huh? :) I guess I was one of the unlucky ones, but it hasn't put me off. Hoping you guys expand to the UK (datacenter-wise) eventually!

They were down for 4 or 5 days last month. Was due to a power issue in their DC's building. They kept everyone in the loop, and it's the only downtime I've noticed from them.

Kimsufi is good (used to be with them), but there are a few drawbacks: 1. Only one IP allowed. No way to request more. 2. No KVM access-- Delimiter has HP iLO I have to disagree ab…

The blade servers at Delimiter ( https://www.delimiter.com/ ) are even more affordable. I pay $20 a month for a dual Xeon blade with 16gb of ram. They did have a very long downtime…

My 2008 macbook's (removable) battery also puffed up.

I use gear music player for google music https://www.gearmusicplayer.com/ . It's fantastic (but not free).

Not always in the UK, and if they do it's only liability and not comprehensive/collision.

Even the yellow cabs within Manhattan would not take me places within Manhattan when hailed. They would stop and ask where to-- when I told them where (touristy areas) they'd just …

Which machine did you buy?

I really hope they do drop the limits. I've had no trouble downloading at around 3.5Mbytes/sec+ from Dropbox in the UK. I would have definitely went with hubiC otherwise.

I considered hubiC, but all download syncs (from the website and application) for now are limited to 10mbit (even from the UK). There are several posts complaining about this on hu…

Very cool. Unfortunately, I think the price point is a bit too high (at least for me).

When I read campaign stances on this site last year I was really surprised how socially moderate their campaign was. I'm glad the site is still around.
