I think it's a bit strange to reply directly that you did not plagiarise any images when the opening table cell background is a direct lift of the SVG from our site...

At work we do some pretty significant parallelised computation (using Node and Rust) and that has equivalent performance to a relevant python based library. There are nuances to how data enters and exits the VM runtime which means I couldn’

Native bindings can use libuv to offboard work to other threads and then re trigger the JS execution when it completes. This is how a lot of the native node libraries work under the hood to allow parallel IO operations! It’s also an incredi

I think this is definitely the primary challenge with building great, modern enterprise software. You need the flexibility to meet the various demands of differently shaped businesses but the trade off is complexity. I personally think that

This is really interesting - all my interactions have been with people in the London office and were not like this. Perhaps it varies by region?

The comments here have mainly focused on the issue of instant suspension - which is obviously deeply concerning - but I also feel like there is a huge issue at Cloudflare regarding their Enterprise pricing model. Cloudflare's sales tea

We moved from Heroku to GCP after approximately two years of using Heroku. (This was three years ago so some information may have changed) The move worked out incredibly smoothly and has saved us money and allowed us to "modernise&quot

Considering Google App Engine launched in 2008 and Compute Engine in 2012 I would argue it exceeds "a few years" and begins to form precedent. I would also argue that it is not a reasonable comparison in this context to conflate p

I’ve watched Google’s behaviour towards its products for the 10 years cited and referenced it in my post above. Reviewing the infamous https://killedbygoogle.com/ I don’t see much to draw the conclusion that Google kills en

As a business customer, we have a dedicated account manager and customer support engineer who in the worst instance any member of our incident response team could ring directly. We also work with a Google Cloud Partner that we maintain out

We rely heavily on GCP and, whilst nothing is impossible, it would be incredibly painful for us to transition away. I personally think it’s quite unlikely that they shutter the entire business and all the product lines - many of them are ex

We’re building Attio ( https://attio.com ) for exactly this use case! We have a really modular data structure and a flexible API that feels a lot like Airtable or Notion with all the CRM features you’d expect. I’d love to learn mo

We’re currently migrating to Spanner for a variety of reasons - but the mandatory downtime on their Postgres CloudSQL offering will be the part I miss the least. It’s insane that even with all of their HA and failover turned on they take th

Stripe supports exporting PCI data like credit card details to other PCI Level 1[1] providers such as Recurly and Braintree. Data portability is a solved problem in this space - so there isn't a material risk of churn due to a migratio

As someone who has recently started to use cycle lanes to move around London I disagree with the view expressed in the article. Many of the cycle lanes I use everyday in West / Central London are only painted. I personally feel much sa
