Banks does make a lot of money if the customer spends his money or stores his money using the services of the bank.

Banks already do that. Don't they? At least that is the norm in Norway.

Financial advisors are required to get an overview of my finances, financial competence, what goals I have and what my risk tolerance is. Customers also should have time to think about decisions.

Banks financial advisors are basically salespeople for their own services, but that's well known and the service is free.

PHP is awesome. The whole "let's start from scratch on every request"-deal makes debugging really simple.

PHP isn't "complete", it could still need better support for multithreading and async operations, but that is also a part of what makes PHP so nice to work with.

It's fantastic for the live request-response situations.

And just remember, public clouds are expensive. If you need to handle millions of requests per second then there is a very high probability that you can afford a dedicated infrastructure team and save a ton of money while working just as well.

Just look at the insane(!!!) bandwidth costs...

This is the way I prefer to do rewrites too. In the end you usually end up with most code rewritten, without it taking too much time. Then the last bit to get it all rewritten isn't so hard.

The definition of a PWA is a page that uses features like add to homescreen, service workers... or push notifications. It doesn't have to use this and the browser doesn't have to support it. PWA will progressively use such features when they are supported, and that's where the name comes from. If a page requires these things to function then it's not a PWA.

This sucks, competition is nice.

I'd rather want safari gone, cause safari on iOS is a shitshow with no competition.

Safari on iOS gives me the IE6 feeling, it's so insanely bad and bug filled. Like, it sometimes fail to render pages properly if hardware acceleration is used, and sometimes one have to restart the browser just to get the keyboard working, or the ability to click any link.

iOS Safari must die, especially if we continue like this with no other allowed engine on iOS. Either other engines must be allowed or iOS might as well die and the web would be better off.

I do agree that the page is terrible, but it clearly converts.

I often wonder if I made a good desicion after purchasing something. That doesn't happen with Amazon, instead I'm just happy that I don't have to use that shitty page more.

Responsive design isn't to blame at all. The "Javascript all the things" approach is to blame.

GCM is replaced by FCM.

Also, sure, some user might run pure Android and not have a centralized push notification system, but that is not the problem people usually might be experiencing.

The power management and priority system is rather complicated on Android and incoming notifications might be deferred or not shown at all(to avoid wasting power on low priority notifications) depending on app, app usage and settings.

I think most people think of a fullstack developer as someone who is experienced in everything from backend all the way up to frontend design.

Fullstack developer = someone who can do all parts of a project on their own if they wanted to.

"Brenda trains data used for artificial intelligence"

I like how the writer always mentions that they are training the data used for AI, when they are in fact tagging data, not training anything...

Thanks! Didn't know python had magic functions so I was really confused.

What kind of syntax is var['string'] in these examples?

Haven't really used python for anything and I'm just wondering, since it looks like an array or map, but clearly seems to have some logic behind it as it seems to reference the specified column at each row. What is this functionality, something that's built in to python or use of some sort of magic functions?

If this is marketing mail receivers want to receive and anyone in the company has experience with setting up email systems: Use some fresh IPs and run your own.

As long as it isn't spam and bounces are handled appropriately deliverability shouldn't be a problem.

3 million connections: https://medium.freecodecamp.org/million-websockets-and-go-cc...

Heck, you can probably handle a million connections using PHP(with swoole).

It's not expensive at all compared to cloud hosting to keep hardware running. Hardware is really stable and usually runs for years without any issues. You can even use colocation and remote hands, it isn't expensive.

As a norwegian(who has even less access to Amazon than swedes) I don't care about Amazon at all.

Komplett is becoming more like Amazon and recently started listing products from other companies. But as in Sweden it's quite common to use Prisjakt to figure out what web store has the best price on a given product.

Also, I think UX on the Amazon site is terrible compared to Komplett.

They didn't search the whole neighborhood. They got a call about a potential accident and ofc checked it out.

SSDs isn't still expensive. Prices has gone way down lately...

Are you saying Intel CPUs now can adapt to power loss, instead of just not working? I doubt that very much. The CPU got too hot(easily reaching 100C) so there was definetly not "plenty of headroom", in fact, there was no headroom at all.

Bad title. It's not free, and after 12 months it's even very expensive compared to alternatives, considering what one gets for the price.

A couple of cheap VPSs would be cheeper and have way more headroom for the price.

"could drive clock speeds down under heavy thermal loads"

So now it just don't give a shit and fires away at the highest clock, without a care in the world about temperatures?

The clock speed should go down under "heavy thermal load", that's not a bug...

Currently 25.

Been developing a game as a one man project for the last 11 years, dropped out of school at 18 and started to focus 100 % on the game.

Been going very well, but I'm in constant fear of things changing like they did in early 2010s when a lot of players moved to mobile and thereby really dragging down the average play time per visit.

I should probably really try marketing and throw together a couple of other services and see what sticks, so I don't have to worry that much about entertaining people.

Not sure if I'm regretting dropping out of school(electronics) as my GF just got her master's degree in software development, mostly by just having fun, and her current company seems like fun and nice place to work with superb food, benefits, hardware and so on.

I'm currently earning quite a bit more than most developers, and I sure can get more or less all the work related toys and tools I want, but I'm not sure if the extra stress is worth the extra money and toys. The income tax is also really high in Norway so... Maybe a normal job would be better.

If shit hits the fan and it's game over, then I guess I might get a job as I have 11 years of professional experience with advanced systems. I've never had an IT job, so I have no idea if I would get a good job or how well I'd compete with others though.

Money is nice and fun, but it isn't everything.

And one lesson that has become very clear to me so far: gamers are most likely the worst customers in the world. The amount of people who tries to gain the system by using eg. chargebacks or just has no respect as "it's just a game and I needed money for something else" is really high compared to every other business type, at least based on my and PayPal's experience. Also, don't use PayPal. Use something with 3Dsecure.

I've bought a bunch of XPS 13 laptops because of project sputnik, and the only bad thing with them seems to be the extreme coil whine.

I'm not quite sure what I just watched, but ok...

Riving(rive) means tearing or splitting in Norwegian and English. The word comes from Old Norse and is commonly used in Norwegian, but I didn't know it also was an english word.

To me "I couldn't open it, so I had to rive it." sounds like Petter Solberg(known to mix norwegian and english) trying to speak english. "It's not the fart that kills, it's the smell" (fart meaning speed in norwegian, and smell meaning crash)

It's a fun game! :)

$15 is more like a portion sized pizza, not a slice.

There is a lot of students in Norway who studies what they want with no plan at all when it comes to work.

Eg. a lot of students are studying finance and management or maybe history, but there is basically no demand compared to the supply.
