I dropped backblaze when I read that you have to reattach external disks every 30 days or so or they'd just wipe the whole backup of that disk.

Don't quit. Validate your idea first , then implement it. Read "Nail It Then Scale It" and "The E-Myth Revisited". You'll save time and money. You might also study business strategy (free courses on Coursera)

> Isn't this exactly the point of using a naked `self` instead of the reference `&self`? Yes it is, but you only see it's a naked self if you look into the method. From the outside there's nothing in the name to indica

Nice example. I was learning Rust over Christmas so I see how it works. But one issue I have is that from the outside it's not obvious that your `close()` method will take ownership of `self`. I'd probably prefer it if there was s

There are only release candidates of the fixed versions on https://releases.ansible.com/

The article is wrong. Pypi only shows 2.2.0 released in November. That's my point.

Am I the only one who finds it pretty unprofessional to release the exploits when the fixed version hasn't been released yet (and anyway was only scheduled to have been released 48 hours beforehand)? I'm all for disclosure, but se

You might find "Singing and the Actor" useful. IIRC it covers anatomy and is more than just about singing.

I think there's a reason lots of famous billionaires keep working. I've been hearing from my parents how boring retirement is, and from my own experiences of extended vacations I've come to the conclusion we evolved to work.

Don't the piwik team have a copyright on the name? Surely they can prevent them using the name if they have.

What sort of things do you want examples of? This approach opens you up to far more opportunities. Say you have a spare weekend and you aren't sure what to do with it, but feel like going out. You could use the opportunity to try somet

I've been using this plugin but it doesn't seem to do auto-import. Does it definitely support that? Apart from that, as you say, type detection isn't always particularly useful. Apart from those two features, it's pretty

I've literally just started learning Rust after following it for a few years. I wanted a language that was type-safe and produced binaries to simplify deployment. I chose Rust over Go because I wanted a functional language with generic

Not sure why you're being downvoted. It's the MO of airbnb, uber and other SV startups. We've seen more than once that making a land grab for a new market brings more long-term success than any penalties dished out for not pl

Is anyone actually using Kotlin outside jetbrains? Seems like it doesn't have much mindshare or any high profile projects using it.

When I tried it it was slower than bigquery. Plus you've got to mess about creating hive schemas.
