Pretty much, we got from network of blogs and forums to all-encompassing massive social networks that impose same rules and sensibilities on everyone regardless of sense and reason, regardless of local culture or really anything else. Like

I think fundamental problem of it is it being basically a monolith and is now hard to untangle that. IMO better architecture for such "IOT HUB" would be a rule-engine that basically just takes code (embeddable language like Lua or

The new propane or CO2-based pumps the temperature it keeps working is also lower so it isn't much of a problem for most places if you are in market for one currently.

It took like a decade to get average LCD screen to look as good as old CRT. And still need a ton of post-processing to make old pixel art games to look as good as before on LCD. And I did play a bunch of games 10-20-30 years after they were

You can just buy same chip if someone somehow decided to check random flash chip vendor. More sensible way to stopping that would be writing eeprom with encrypted key burned into the GPU itself but I doubt NVIDIA bothered, money loss for fe

I use it when it's 12V, it's probably most popular barrel plug voltage and also used in a lot of audio devices (aside from guitar pedals which have 9V with reversed voltage... fuck that)

Soo its adapter to make small board that is more expensive and slower than rPi... bigger ? What exactly is the selling point of that ?

All the time. Fiat 126p ("Maluch") was famously known for being as safe as Mercedes ("in both of them crumple zone ends at engine") and being as sporty and advanced as Porsche ("both have engine in the boot")

App still needs to be written to be scalable. And if shit hits the fan moving to cloud (...or just renting dedicated servers at 1/3 the cloud cost) isn't too bad

I feel like a lot of that shifted now. You can just have on-premise k8s and keep most of the velocity gained from developers being able to "just run stuff" instead of anything having to go thru sysadmins. You can just rent few s

It's insane between actually renting servers, or even classical "bare" VPS providers and cloud too.

by ilyt 3y ago
Renting dedicated server off company like OVH, or even co-locating your own is also far cheaper than cloud, few times over, without fuss of turning your house into datacenter.

That's the problem. It is not working. It's great for big companies to stop their competitors, but not for actual innovation.

Git doesn't store diffs on logical level. Git operates on snapshots of trees. Commit is not "a collection of changes", it's a snapshot of a tree with attached predecessor of it. Then the another layer (which can be git,
