The existence of most of those apps has long seemed crazy from a UK perspective. Our bank transfers take seconds to hours, to pretty much anyone. Payments are one of the banking areas where the US has been stuck far in the past.

“Never believe anything until it is officially denied” is a great phrase about this.

Cynically, this dispute could be a smokescreen for Apple’s financial incentives to build its own ecosystem. I’ve seen plenty of “serious disputes” disappear when political winds change.

Same - I’m often surprised how little attention this gets. They still don’t support OffscreenCanvas too. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/OffscreenCa...

Indeed, judging by the response it seems like a very successful protest (aside from the reports of lost NGO files.) Not something I’d have done, but I understand the idea.

I don’t know the details of this incident, but the GOV.UK website uses relatively old infrastructure — they’re working to move onto a containerised platform, but still rely heavily on VMs and Puppet.

I worked on this for nearly four years. It’s a great fit for a lot of government needs: they need a stable, reasonably secure platform that helps them build medium-complexity websites. It’s based on Cloud Foundry, a “run your own Heroku”-ty

Firmly agreed. I've heard AWS discuss making the status page better – but they get really quiet about actually doing it. In my experience the best/only way to check for problems is to search Twitter for your AWS region name.

I strongly agree. I'm remote for the next few years because family has taken me outside a big metro area. But when I move back I'm gonna be open to working in an office, just so long as it's actually good. If I have to be a s

I've implemented this recently ( https://github.com/46bit/distributed-systems/tree/main/rende... .) Does anyone know a similarly accessible guide to adding ordering (e.g. Vector Clocks)?

Very cool. How are you doing the peer-to-peer browser connections? WebRTC?

Maybe not forever, but that kind of salary would be great to build up a house deposit. Could be worth it for a few years.

The thing I valued from my latest upgrade was a better camera. But the phone cost the same as two decent DSLRs. It just doesn't make sense to upgrade again.

I did a Masters project on this sort of technology and yes, I think it makes fantastic demos but hasn't found a killer usecase in the real-world (publicly, anyway.) Their techniques are at least patent-pending if not fully patented by

I am no expert in this but have worked at a few early-stage startups so hopefully my advice can help a bit. Marketing is really, really hard. Even user research is an entire profession. You've done well to attract your first signups, b
