Your legs are moving but your head / vestibular system isn’t experiencing acceleration that it expects with those leg movements. Think of it this way, if you are holding a pendulum and take a normal step forward, the pendulum will start to swing. If you take a step forward on the magic floor tiles, your legs move normally but since your body stays in the same place, the pendulum is motionless.
I've been working on a little project that uses D1 and have been hoping that is how D1 will evolve. A db per customer in my case. Is the colocation in a durable object so 'business logic' and sqlite can live in the same isolate for performance and security? Would that be a post 'out of beta' feature? Ive been building as a monolith thinking that the number of databases in the alpha was indicative of the future.
I grew up in Oxford, MS. circa 1980. Kudzu didn’t blanket the roadside landscape at that time. It does now. Every time I go back, it is the blanket over everything. I love the flowery language of the article (takes me back a bit), but it really has overtaken the landscape. If you grew up there, you know.
They have a business plan that is predicated on people signing up for a service that they want to use but don’t and fail to unsubscribe because it’s like giving up on reaching their perceived potential best selves. It’s simple.
My team is 100% remote and we work with other teams that aren't. We use Google's Jamboard. All members of my team have iPads and 'pencils' and there is a dedicated app, and our conference rooms have special Jamboard devices mounted on our walls. It can be used from a browser too. They all work pretty seamlessly together. I don't work for google but I like Jamboard.
Shrug? I can’t remember the last time I needed source forge. What is there and why is it important to preserve that business model? I’m genuinely curious.
1. is it bad for individual "professionals" to invest capital on a small scale to provide services that people want at a greater or lesser price? Be it cars or houses.
2. If it is bad, why, and who for? Is it bad for consumers or bad for existing businesses?
It is a cloudflare subdomain but it doesn't show that way in the URL, I dont know how that works though. Can anybody explain why this works? I dont have a naked domain with ssl with them but you can check this one out to see what it looks like https://www.luckybolt.com (also thats my brothers startup, if you are in SF, check it out). As you point out though, GAE is $10 / Mo. cheaper. I'll check that out for new projects.
$20 a month for basic ssl. I have 2 criticisims of cloudflare and im a paying customer, which arent even close to making me look for alternatives. 1. They have had a few outages (but everybody does, amazon included). 2. Ive made their page rules engine do what i need but i felt their docs were not deep / technical enough about how their engine works. I had to play a bit to get exactly what i wanted. I have largely been happy though. Im not affiliated with them in any other way.
Also, though cloudflare allows it specifically for this purpose, cnaming a naked domain isnt technically in spec for dns. Every device / browser ive tried deals with it just fine though. If you are a stickler for rules go with a www. subdomain.
Try s3 + cloudflare. You will have to pay for ssl but barring that s3 + cloudflare will let you host a naked domain for almost free. Suppose you want some cheap static publishing, set up a dev heroku instance (free) and have it publish to your s3 bucket.
I think its an interesting concept if you can get JBoss to replicate the functionality of the OS and hardware behind most COBOL running on big iron but on low cost 'distributed' servers. Running COBOL is possible in non mainframe contexts already. Running COBOL with all the benefits of a mainframe without the mainframe cost and mainframe OS has not materialized. Its been surprisingly resilient to disruption so far. If you could offer all the functionality at a significant decrease in cost per mip, you would have a winner and a lot of fans (eventually as it became proven and big CIOs started to trust it). There are plenty of less critical workloads out there that could be migrated out though if they could access the same data cost effectively. What do you think the big challenges are?
I guess it really is just news here, in case you want to have a discussion that might help people, lets discuss over here: http://branch.com/b/nosql-vs-rdbms-how-to-decide as long as you are willing to keep it constructive, you are invited.
I think the $50 model is going to get changed. My bet is that businesses building social into their sites off of the app.net infrastructure will end up paying. That was just to see if it was pursuing. Its not better support for 3rd party devs, the entire focus is 3rd party devs.
