Scary stuff but unfortunately true.

Thiel is really smart. He always talk about the right to online privacy [1] and especially his own, because his gay, living in NZ, etc. But his actions and the actions of his companies tells a totally different story. Explanation: When it comes to money vs. privacy, money always wins.

Best that I've found for Linux. For cutting it's really good but if you need advanced object tracking or special effects, keep searching.
Bellamy··on AWS costs every programmer should know (2019)
AWS is overrated. Most of the engineers and managers choose it because it's a safe choice for them. But in the long term the costs rise and you can't get away from it. I would even argue it's only for those who are afraid of command line.
Bellamy··on Install and run iPhone apps without using Xcode
