Linode included affiliate program links for authors, that's not comparable to paying cash. I can't speak to whether DO did copy article contents (though I remember the rumours at the time and don't doubt it) but there is a me

You're right that the Linode library existed prior to DigitalOcean's founding but DigitalOcean did innovate: they understood the value of technical writing as a conversion tool, and paid for it. Linode did not pay for articles unt

I definitely believe that paying subscribers would, on average, watch most of the video. There are popular creators publishing 3+ hour videos on YouTube, for free, generating millions of views from viewers watching most of the content... so

When I say there's little room for corrective action, I am specifically speaking about the choice to pursue the MVP strategy. A person who starts a company and decides to embrace the MVP strategy is stuck on a hamster wheel: if they&#x

They're not cold to the touch once they've been used: the induction process heats the pan, but heat from the pan will transfer back to the glass. If you use an induction cooker for 20 minutes, and then immediately place your hand

I think there's some degree of nuance that isn't captured with comments like yours. I agree with your comment in principle, but there are interpretations of this method that are too extreme and that's where most of the bad MV

they don’t glow from heat but they can glow by design: for safety reasons, some have lights that simulate glowing from heat. I guess the choice of image is a little curious, given the primary distinction between induction vs. traditional is

They’re probably referring to the “latest” tag. The “latest” tag is a terrible idea to be anywhere near anything that matters but I’d be very surprised if any enterprise is depending on a latest tag. Digest pinning is what should be used in

The maturity of your organisation’s use of containers is quite important: Alpine is a fantastic platform to build very lightweight images, but there’s organisations where people want containers that have everything. I’d say, as your usage o

Right. Shit-shovelling should be the responsibility of the shitters, so they learn to stop shitting so much. If engineers are never held to account for creating a mess, they’ll not stop creating a mess. People new to an organisation should

Hiring engineers is hard. Unless you’re in a very large company with complex internal politics, you can tell your manager literally anything and they’ll be fine with it. Most managers have been taught that engineers need excitement and grow

My understanding is that the fees Wise charges are dictated by the costs of their fast method, rather than, say, a requirement of their business model. I’m very much in agreement that this is a win for customers either way, and I think it’s

If they got rid of the third party services (in this case, Google ReCaptcha and Google's CDN) they would be fine with their current implementation. First party cookies that are necessary do not require any form of opt-out, and a notice

A clever solution, nice work. That said, I'm very curious about your long term view on this model as a differentiator. My understanding is that Wise fees are essentially a pass through to customers, so your differentiator is that you&#

We are just as dumb. Processed meat causes cancer, micro plastics are doing all sorts to us: arguably, we are dumber, because we know all about the harm that lead and cigarettes cause and yet… we haven’t applied that lesson. Do you eat meat

The quote is relevant because it demonstrates that it is widely understood that history (“facts”) is not an absolute truth, but a collection of ostensibly-true pieces of information disseminated by one party. To say that Wikipedia is not re

The hyperbole isn’t helpful. As has been highlighted time and time again, Wikipedia is the work of a relatively small amount of people and there is a great deal of bias because humans suffer from bias — regardless of their intentions. “Hist

Your friends and family probably wouldn't participate in a debate about how to build an encyclopaedia that is representative of the world, not just the world according to a bunch of mostly middle class white nerds. If they did have an

Not to be a Docker apologist, because I agree they’ve blundered: Docker Compose v3 is actually not the current version of Docker Compose, Docker Compose now uses “the compose specification” which does support service dependencies and it’s t

it's an interesting talking point but that's about it in most cases. If you can find a role where some domain knowledge is related to your PhD subject, or they need the skills a PhD requires (i.e: academic writing) then it'll

I’ll take a somewhat contrarian view to the other comments. There’s definitely a great deal of room for payment service providers outside the US so I don’t mean to discredit Payhawk’s success (I know nothing about them — they could be wonde

You describe money as if it’s just numbers being moved around: yes, the technology is just numbers moving around, but money is a social construct not a technology, the use of technology is a very small part of what makes money money.

Even with those tax issues aside, there’s quite a few projects on OpenCollective (for example) that have raised tens of thousands of dollars and haven’t spent it. I think for some portion of successful open-source developers, there’s a sign

You can create a separate user and use a Yubikey to gate access to it, so access would be through your primary 1Password account (where the pass is stored) + Yubikey. I have multiple accounts to separate things out that shouldn’t cross poll

I think this looks great but "process-neutral" gives me pause. Process is important, and hard, and in practice "process-neutral" means "process by committee within each customers organisation" and naturally, th

I don't have a great answer unfortunately. My best attempt would involve walking back my use of "knowledge" as both an asset and liability, and instead I'd try to add some distinction, i.e: maybe describe "knowledge

For most people, gambling isn't a financial decision, it's an entertainment decision. The value of thinking about winning (regardless of how unlikely it is) is worth the $1 cost of a lottery ticket, so labelling gambling a "s
