Vizio recently changed their firmware on my tv to require you to use the smart cast app just to watch antenna. It's slow and buggy and causes nothing but problems, the people writing the software clearly never use one of these tvs. Du

i dont doubt gcp will continue existing. but individual services/products/apis/pricing break way too frequently, and the response from google is deal with it. small companies dont really notice it, and how anti-customer it i

I had five jobs in my first five years, then two jobs five years each. In general all my raises came from promos or stock matching when getting a new job. One of the things that helps with staying is if the company is growing there’s a vacu

Also which dynamo price are they comparing to? On demand? Provisioned? Reserved provisioned? We had a huge spanner db with low throughput so had to add idle nodes just for storage which also ballooned costs for spanner(the increased storage

there's a cost to engineer something that automatically switches or someone going in and manually changing it. so the spot prices has to be higher than ondemand + switching costs. the new pricing models(a couple years old) though have

Yea, I mostly agree. I feel like a lot of the negativity comes from hobbyists, where an extra hundred dollars does matter. I think one place that I disagree is while you could do that in a few hours, your average developer couldn’t. You’re

The stuff you’re saving time on, managing hosts, just isn’t that much compared to dealing with aws/terraform/etc. I’m at a few orders of magnitude more spend than that, and in absolute dollars is very much noticeable how much more

yea, this tracks for mixing up rsu/espp. youre close enough, but espp are super confusing. the 15% discount is always income tax, even if you sell them years later. most plans do a 'lower of price between now and the beginning
