Move faster how?
catherinecodes · a year ago
Totally. The fact Microsoft got Three Mile Island to reopen[1] to train AI is unbelievable.

The trademark infringement claim is interesting. Is there any precedent for a company doing something like "Redis Service" or "Coca Cola Reseller" and getting away with it?

Tk based GUIs work across pretty much all desktop platforms and are much less resource intensive than electron and friends.

Absolutely. It's even been remarkable stable--programs written 20 or 30 years ago work without any kind of modification.

I was invited to a project that uses "notion.so" a couple weeks ago. It seems to work pretty well for what you're described.

Check out Hetzner (Germany) and Entrywan (US). They have good prices and a no-nonsense approach.
catherinecodes commented on Ask HN: Did Twilio abandon SendGrid?    · Posted by u/leros
rozenmd · a year ago
tbh as a Twilio user I sometimes wonder whether they abandoned Twilio itself (SMS/Calls)
catherinecodes · a year ago
Me too. Was there some regulatory change that makes spraying SMS more difficult? It'd be great to hear from someone that works there or at Vonage which sees to have suffered the same fate.

Gotta respect Panasonic for identifying an underserved market and crushing it for almost 30 years.

Getac and Dell are active there, particularly for law enforcement. There's a good youtube channel[1] that compares them all from time to time.

Fermi did swap to AlmaLinux.
catherinecodes · a year ago
AlmaLinux is a perfect replacement for scientific agencies. It's got the fastest turnaround time for security patches, an open community, and sustainable funding sources.

An organization that is under increasing existential pressure will exhibit all sorts of dysfunction. For example, they will lowball bids for projects that are necessary for their survival, from which one can then expect "surprise" cost overruns.
catherinecodes · a year ago
Exactly. There was the famous quote from a US presidential candidate who couldn't even remember what the DOE was called, even though he wanted to abolish it[1].
