As an individual, will I have access to pricing or is that limited to institutions as well? For that matter, how transparent is this marketplace? Do I need to put in an RFQ for a specific SKU to get a point-in-time price or do I see the who

Yes, nearly every working day. The ability to focus on something while the world around me melts away. When it is just myself, the virtual display of my Mac, and the drifting grains of gypsum at White Sands, I seem to be at peace with whate

With these guys you get into a weird world of "is it them, us, or upstream of both of us" all the time. I had been using Twilio's telco partner maintenance notifications as a way of figuring out if someone like Orange was res

I mean, their viz is free and straight forward, not hidden behind a paywall or a demo page. I also appreciate not putting any comment based signal indicators as that is often noise.

High end resins and epoxies are in a critical supply shortage right now. I suspect that there are going to be some serious resource driven PCB shortages in the very near future.

What kind of image set is used here? A quick scan over the site and I don't know if I can provided my own aerial or satellite imagery or if you provide it.

I keep hoping for a Microcenter in either Portland or Seattle but alas, I get the "we're always looking for new locations" email from their team and a "why not just order it from Amazon" from nearly everyone else.

I can't be the only one let down that there wasn't some new slot design. Something with pizzazz and flare.

SLA contracts, clawbacks, and performance obligations make these pages a bit of a minefield for CSPs. When I was at a top-tier CSP, we had the status page that was public, one that was for a trusted tier of customers, one built for a custom

Down Detector can have a poor signal to noise ratio given from what I am assuming is users submitting "this is broken" for any particular app. Probably compounded by many hearing of a GCP issue, checking their own cloud service, a

I feel like a kindred soul of sorts with this author. I’m on my fourth iteration of a smart home setup with HA. Depression, neglect, a feeling that I need to burn it all down and restart, and depression again were all extinction level event

Learned about this last night and needless to say it was a gut punch. There is a whole generation of us that have Gordon to thank for our monthly pilgrimage to the magazine section looking for the latest edition of Maximum PC. Once a year w

Bought it at launch and use it a couple dozen times a week. For me, the killer function has been doing display mirroring with my Mac and leveraging the environments like Mt Hood or the Moon as a way to get into a focused flow. I love the id

Transall Saga by Gary Paulson. One of those young adult survival stories he was known for writing but with a sci-fi element. The book has been living rent free in my head since an elementary school book fair 26 years ago.

The past seven months of Twitter as observed through HTTP response latency of various endpoints exposed to the client. Interesting to see the drop of latency in May inline with BlueSky and the rise in the latency of backend services which l

Things started to get pretty bad on 2/24 where a lot of the backend stuff used to serve media started to get slower. https://twitter.com/iFred/status/1641552082003193857

Twitter services that are publicly exposed have seen a global latency average has racked on 150ms with regular spikes of several seconds or more. [1] Core services for Twitter have been throwing 500s a dozen times every few hours. [2] Twitt

https://deadbird.singlepane.io shows the API up but a trace of iOS Twitterific, Tweetbot, and Birdie shows an EoF response when api.twitter.com is called. I’d wager a backend issue over a policy change as a 403/401 isn’t re
