Indluxdb is one of the most fastest dB.
I would consider VictoriaMetrics to be technically superior.

How mature is Bitwarden? I know its open source, but IIRC the business address for Bitwarden is a random house in Jacksonville, Florida? And that was only found on Reddit or something.
If its open source thats great, but most people are not building the clients for iOS and MacOS at home. We trust the builds that they host to be true to the source.
1password lists its physical address on its home page (and I think every page).
Lastpass is part of Logmein, an established tech company in Boston.
I'm very wary of a password manager trojan horse, similar to the Kaspersky incident.
I understand the concern too.
It's also raised at their official forum but no reply from the author.

The only reason I use other storage provider than backblaze is simply because of the benchmark done by one of the more modern backup tool author.
https://github.com/gilbertchen/cloud-storage-comparison/blob...
Can anyone from backblaze say anything about their performance compared to other vendors?
The pricing is certainly ahead of others, so I would use if the performance is comparable to some of the leading group tested there.

Spoken like someone that just uses a text editor to write JS. I used to spend a long time in massive Java codebases where the IDE would need some serious horsepower to index the code. Then I'd be running an application server for testing (inside a VM) and running another VM to for the SOLR index and another VM for the very heavy SAP ERP system. Then I've got Chrome and other apps asking for memory and processor power.
This setup is pretty common for people working on large integration projects.
Yeah, I use IntelliJ, Chrome, Photoshop and a few other smaller apps and sometimes even run Win10 on Vmware but I never see any noticeable slowdowns. I do tend to quit apps that I don't use as I hate cluttering my alt-tab list.
Call me old, but these days everything including people are so ram hungry I cannot believe the days when things were being done with less than a GB ram.
People talk like having more ram feels like a champ but as developers you might as well want to think about how things can be achieved using less ram.

Why would that matter for end users?
Users really only care about cost of ownership, ease of use, support, etc. which is to say, they want to use what everyone else is using.
Who said about end users?
Many embedded systems and such use BSD because they don't have to release their changes as open source, which pretty much forbids their use of Linux.
If you meant by "servers" such on clouds, maybe it's already Linux only.

If you work at a desk, why do you need a laptop?
I'm glad my employer outfits me with both a Linux workstation and a Linux laptop. One of the little fears of looking for a new job is I'll want to filter out some high percentage (like 90%?) of positions for the petty reason that they just dump a macbook pro on every dev as their sole machine. Thanks but no thanks, I can't stand any Apple hardware or software.
As another comment mentioned, there is no perfect "for devs" computer. Developer tastes are too broad and disjoint.
Why? Because you can end up with a single machine than having have to constantly worry about having same environment and data and all that between multiple machines.
If you plug in your laptop to an external monitor and a keyboard, you essentially get a desktop, except you can take it out there with you without worrying about leaving any data or config behind.

Vehemently agree. Monoculture is a huge risk to IT generally right now. I love Linux and must use it for some things, because nothing else is really supported, but I really worry about a world where all the servers run Linux.
I think the thing I miss most about the 90s and early 00s was that different unix-like systems took big, bold, and divergent approaches. Computing felt less “nailed down”... like there were more possibilities.
> I really worry about a world where all the servers run Linux.
As long as BSD stays with BSD license, it won't happen.

Specs and spec configurations are only a small piece of what makes a good dev laptop. Is it ergonomic and lightweight? Is the trackpad large and the keyboard comfortable to type on for extended periods of time? How tightly does the hardware integrate with the software (i.e.: can I use multi-touch gestures on the trackpad to move through my environment quickly)?
Say what you will about Apple and how they treat developers (read: not well), but the modern MacBook Pro (sans touchbar) is truly a great dev machine.
Why would devs type on the laptop keyboard for extended period of time?
If you work at a desk, you're supposed to add an external monitor and a keyboard.
Why are people mad about this? Dude is a modern Robin Hood -- a national hero. Let him keep the $1.7B change.
They did invest in Alibaba as well as ARM and Uber and runs the SoftBank Vision Fund. They may have failed huge on this one but have been doing quite good.
