We don't but it helps with marketing and has synergies with other paid products Most of the traffic is P2P. We operate a couple of geo distributed relays for NAT'd traffic. But eve…

For anyone interested in push-to-talk/intercoms we built a free tool at the beginning of quarantine last year called Squawk - https://www.squawk.to

We have a free version called Squawk over at https://www.squawk.to

Wow...an S-1 with positive net income.

Also there's a large selection bias: people using less common or more esoteric/demanding languages tend to be better engineers who have invested the time in learning something off …

We've played around with that and it's on the roadmap. But it just adds another set of fixtures to herd.

This is what we do but it's too manual for my taste.

We've got a core product running on Django, and one thing the author doesn't mention is testing migrations. The migration system is wonderful, except for the difficulty in testing …

Hi Vlad - your anecdote about ship tracking is interesting (my other startup is an AIS based dry freight trader). You must know the Vortexa guys given your BP background. How does …

The prompt contained a few react examples with annotated English descriptions that were similar enough. You’re not seeing the entire prompt and as impressive as this is, it’s likel…

We're incredibly excited about GPT-3. I think there is a fair bit hype exhaustion, especially from the likes of OpenAI ("our AI is too dangerous to release"). So this is completely…

Hi all - is there anywhere that is a semi-structured repository for people sharing engineering tips and tricks? I feel like we're constantly "discovering" hacks and approaches that…

I’m not really sure what containers/k8s has to do with JVM? Containers are just name spacing, not virtualization. If you’re running in the cloud, either way you slice it you’ll hav…

I think this is pretty myopic. As someone who straddles both sides of this, the world is not that simple. If the "business side" as you say isn't viable, then nothing matters. This…

> Why would any company include this SDK > Is implementing a user authentication system really so complicated "Login with Facebook" isn't popular because it saves developer time. I…

Surprised databases haven’t been mentioned. Anything stateful is still far easier to scale vertically. Otherwise you have to go multi master and start sharding across smaller insta…

I wish Redis would focus a bit more on the standard clustering options. Cluster has some real drawbacks and Sentinel is about the most brittle service I’ve seen. We run all of our …

Again, this is not what I said. Inflationary policy in a deflationary market is still inflationary.

I think this thread is full of people confusing absolute inflation with relative inflation (“inflationary”). A policy resulting in zero absolute inflation can be inflationary provi…

Another commenter rightly noted that inflation is only partially driven by supply of money. The other factor is velocity of money, which is how quickly money is “recycled” within t…

> It seems to me that others in the thread are describing a scenario where product is discarded because the price has already fallen so far that it is no longer profitable after ac…

What? Nothing I said has anything to do with the demand curve. This is all supply side. We hold the demand curve constant for any such analysis. But it’s irrelevant anyway: a basic…

Yes, it would absolutely. Purchasing power is (roughly) the ratio of production divided by the money supply. If supply of money goes down, purchasing power goes up and vice versa. …

We’re not talking about the Treasury. We’re talking about Central Banks who lack the power to tax (directly at least). > People seem to prefer inflation to taxation. That’s because…
