A game that exists in two blockchains would offer a way to bridge assets between them, or succeeded by one that does. In fact the opposite is starting to be true: assets from game A being usable in game B.

Exactly this, Plaid "kindly requests" you violate the ToS you have with the bank and hand over the keys to your finances. I have never noped out of anything so hard.

Every single iOS user I know uses Chrome as their browser specifically because Safari is a broken mess in which nothing ever works.

If this article was trying to get me to try ClojureScript, it had the exact opposite effect. Beautiful syntax to define a class had me at first, but then fell on its face when I saw that first "if" and compltely lost me with the

Your experience with social media largely depends on the accounts you surround yourself with. I had an identical experience to yours on Facebook, but my Twitter accounts are carefully curated by topic and their timelines are generally excel

When your database is too big to backup that's a lot like a bank being too big to fail. Unwise long term strategy.

Was spending $20k/mo with IBM at the peak in 2019, have since migrated to AWS and left IBM completely. Thoughts: - Support, including paid enterprise support, was hilariously bad. It would take 3 days of escalations to the account mana

Just make sure you have a plan to move from the tX instances into something non-burstable as soon as load gets to 30% or do.. when those machines run out of burst, the pain is instant and severe.

We just finished rewriting a 3 year old Rails app in Node+Knex, performance with 10k concurrent sessions is roughly 4x and p95 is 10x better. Keep this in mind whenever someone decides Rails is fine for a quick prototype and then leaves you

For small numbers of large queries, Athena has been an incredible technology stack .. I pay pennies a month to run my analytics jobs on it (aggregates across a few hundred million rows, joins with tens of millions of rows into hundreds of t

I am deeply afraid of 3 things: complexity, obscolescence and code without tests.

You didnt avtually answer the question: What free, cloud agnostic tools let me specify "keep 60% cpu load average" and work the rest out? With k8s, a horizontal autoscaler is a few lines in a yaml file and the result works in any

What about resource allocation? With Kubernetes I can specify both requests and limits of cpu and memory and it will fill my nodes to match. A node autoscaler gets me more nodes if needed. I can define vertical pod autoscaler that can dyna

I was on my way out the door one morning, taking my dog to the vet to have a lump removed. I was in a bad place. The phone rang. I knew I shouldn't pick it up, but I was in a bad place. It was "microsoft", and they needed im

And I think paywalls which allow Google, but not humans, to pass through are scummy. Trying to have their cake and eat it, too..

I am a big fan of Knex for just this reason. It's not an ORM, just a migration manager and query builder. It makes easy stuff easy, and for complex stuff it gets out of your way. If you need complex relationship models, ObjectionJS sit

I've dropped Google Analytics in favor of good old fashioned server log parsing with several off the shelf tools. The load times of my site, the quality of my stats and the privacy of my users have all been improved.

Yes absolutely, the launch of brick and mortar was supposed to satisfy the "want some right now" crowd but high prices have turned a lot of folks off. Weedmaps is the defacto "local" black market source in my area, I can

None of what you said is wrong, but: 1) there is no need to import anything but numpy to get at pi or e (see constant section of numpy docs). 2) if you wrap all your things you expect to behave like vectors/matrices with np.array() and

Photos requires you allow them to use your data to run their image ML on, so it's not going anywhere it isnt quite what it appears. This was precisely the motivation for shuttering the desktop app.

There is an additional issue to be faced here. I did a lot of open source in my teens and early 20s that's still sitting on SourceForge, but the last decade+ of my work is locked behind proprietary walls as well.. So while I have conc
