"It is not really true that DNS is for people only"
Yes,
"Any problem in computer science can be solved with another level of indirection... except for the problem of too many layers".
DNS is one mechanism of adding a layer of abstraction.
I can relate to this article. My reaction to what is happening is also: "Leave me behind".
However, missing the joy of the old-school way of growing as a developer is not only the wrong reason, but also very dangerous according to Darwin.
Our customers don't care about how it is made after all, but they do care about long-term support, costs, and predictability, etc.
But I'm not sure whether we can say we made a real net positive progress in the industry. The whole thing is a big mess. In many cases, AI moves us in the same direction in turbo mode, making it not only messier and more expensive but also dangerous.
I tell them, "Leave me alone", as I see this mess as an opportunity if you think the right way, starting from the first principles.
IMO, is this Good advice for hacker news itself. It contains diverse topics in one stream, such as history, Botany, and Coding. You can argue it is a feature or a bug.
In almost every way imaginable, I think this is counter-productive. This is just shallow thinking of the policymakers. Do they think human productivity works like machines in a factory? Good luck!
I'm confused. Everything sounds very expensive to me.
The last table which compares it with the other vendors is surprising. Even Stich Data (cheapest) costs $1 to move 240K records: (1B / 4,166.67 = 240K). Is this real?
So, their solution costs $1 to process 13.6M records. Sounds like this is not very share-worthy.
Love this extract:
"Cloudflare’s hard fought victory, the culmination of three years of litigation, is a strong warning to all patent trolls–we will not be intimidated into playing your game."
Thanks for sharing your story. I want to acknowledge you we feel your devastation. Accept my virtual hugs. I wish peace and harmony to you, your family, and your son.
Not sure why this article is focused on car ads.
Nowadays, I ignore most of industry and many other awards.
E.g. "Ranked #1 as the most popular university among international students" (I saw this ad on a bus). It doesn't say anything about the quality of the education or the recognition.
You can trust customer reviews more than these awards.
̛If you check the surroundings, you will see the mess we are in. Virtually (?) there are 0 options for a viable IoT platform, mobile/desktop OS that doesn't annoy us. It could be privacy, locking, you name it, ...
Only recently, I happen to realise, we could have listened to this man little more. Too late then, we are sold already.
By my own experience I know they don't have even basic business ethics.
Several years ago, a quite a large transaction appeared in my credit card bill. Upon checking I found GoDaddy charged for a hosting service I never asked for. Upon calling their support, they were not surprised or asked any question, they just rollbacked the transaction. I'm saying again, no sales person or anyone reached out to me before using my credit card to process the order I never asked for.
I have a few domains and a shared hosting service with them. Their price increases are not justifiable. I'm in the process of packing my stuff.
I'm pretty impressed about this camera and the company.
Pixii do understand the good product design with a premium feel/lifestyle and photographers' needs. In most of the cases, they have made the right choices.
This camera may not be the ideal one for the wedding, sports, but street, travel kind of photography. This is more leaning towards the market addressed by Leica M series and some Fuji Cameras rather the market being addressed by Sony and Cannon.
As some of you may know, Leica M 11 costs around 10K USD and it doesn't have many modern still and video features that come with current mirrorless camera that costs 1/3 of its price.
Pixii being an interchangeable lens camera with Leica M mount is great thing. That means most of the great M lenses available on the market (including 2nd hand) are compatible with this. And the photographer can choose the lens with preferred focal length, quality and size of his/her own preference.
Why would anyone start a new camera company when smartphones have multiple cameras, they are good in quality(?) while they are ubiquitous?
It is true that smartphone cameras have been improved a lot. But photography requires control over the variables in exposure triangle, corner to corner sharpness by larger image sensors, good optics (lenses), accurate colors etc. When Tim Cook says recent iPhone Pros can shoot films, it is only half true.
I'm a software developer who does photography as a hobby. I own Sony A7 IV. I do street photography most of the time. A pixii with a smaller 23mm lens in my pocket would be handier when I'm on the street rather holding a heavy, bigger gear and having to carry a dedicated bag.
