I think the surge in people wanting to reduce taxes is because it rose at an unexpected rate that no one was or could prepare for. So I almost blame the speed of increase for the recent conversations, rather than the idea of people wanting their house to rise and others to fall; yes that is part, but I don’t think it is the majority.
I learned about the Alt characters a long time ago when I wanted to type “Pokémon” in the gamefaqs message boards. I never knew until now why higher numbers didn’t do anything different.
Raspberry Pi did a lot to revolutionize the micro board/pc market, they truly had an amazing influence on the industry that I’m grateful for. Now a days they feel overpriced and underpowered, and their influence spurred a new market that has produced much better alternatives. This IPO just confirms this perspective for me. Thank you raspberry pi for what you did. But I doubt I’ll ever want to buy one again.
Everything about their product is overstated and/or not relevant for most apps. Easy to get 1000x query performance improvement by starting with an extremely slow query. By that standard I could say that I've used create index statements to get 1,000,000x performance. The language is so over-the-top it makes me not even want to read the article through. I work in a real world with real database problems everyday. I would love to have real discussions and solutions to performance improvements. Making irrelevant claims just shuts that down.
I went to use the app for my hot tub and put in the 6 digit pin, except the last number I put in was a 4 instead of a 3. It logged me in, but the temperature looked off, then I realized I wasn’t connected to my hot tub, it was someone else. Turns out the 6-digit pins are sequential. And this is from a billion dollar pool company.
I also was never interested in Puppet, however I was only interested in Ansible, and only use it as sort of an automated check list when setting up my server, in case I need to rebuild the server, the tedious steps can be automated. But I've never used it for multiple server management.
I totally agree. Reducing their monetary outgo is only a part of their story. If someone makes minimum wage, there’s a sharp limit as to how “frugal” they can be.
Can't really fault him for literally studying "the natural world through observation and experiment" as opposed to blindly taking some else's word. But, he should probably spend his time understanding what others did to "study the natural world through observation and experiments" and realize it's not so blind to look at their conclusions.
