Is Slack CPU and memory usage actually a problem? Sure, developers complain about it but they almost always have powerful PCs

So far most of the datacenters are built in very convenient places and people will start to build them in inconvenient places like Sahara or Mongolia way before they will building them in space

Building nuclear-powered and solar powered datacenters in places with low population density will still be cheaper. Do you think Mongolian government won't allow China to build datacenters if the price is right?

The only purely military thing is rockets and everything space related, there's just no way private businesses would've poured so much money into it

Computers and internet being storage, processing and communication systems are clearly useful for civilian purposes

Language is relevant, Haskell or Scala written in functional style uses quite foreign terms and paradigms. Like, wtf is Kleisli arrow?

Twitter's back-end is written in Scala, but they used "better Java" style so an average developer should have no problems making changes

Anyway, what kind of features Twitter (or any social network for that matter) needs after it existed for so many years? Hacker News haven't changed a bit a it does what it does perfectly well

Or there's a mole in Ukrainian intelligence who sold him out

It was the default method of contacting the dealers on Russian darknet when everything was a just a message board (hell, it was available without TOR) and not a proper marketplace

Russian Gosuslugi and Ukrainian Diya coming to US!

That's impressive. ClickHouse is great but it's a huge PITA to operate on-prem so you guys will be rolling in them moneys. Speaking of, maybe you know someone who had to stay in Russia and didn't go to youse guys or Altinity? We (AliExpress Russia) are looking for a CH DBA to help us implement an on-prem CHaaS. Salary is like $9-10K/month.

Basically, we're looking for the person who has at least some expertise with operating CH in production and paying big money. In four month offering $6K-$7K/month we've got ziltch.

I don't get their strategy. While they are an true tech company - the marginal cost of servicing next client is essentially zero, their network effect is limited to a single city so it will be easy for potential competitors to enter the market.

Their products were feature-complete a long time ago. Why are they still in a growth stage and not making profit which should be easy for essentially brokers?

I wonder what's the performance and cost hit of storing data in S3?

API schemas and test suites are usually stored as code in some sort of SCM. I googled "postman maven" and "postman gradle" and found nothing official so I guess they have nothing except stand-alone workspaces.

API registry is a useful tool with modern love for nanoservices when a team of five somehow manages ten of those but I don't see anything similar done by Postman. Two of the service registries I know of were implemented in-house for obvious reasons.

How many of them used the word "crypto"?

The SaaS part being the offering for creating developer.acme.com type pages?

Some time ago I learned that Postman Labs that produces a nice but not-a-rocket-science HTTP client raised $433M at multi-billion valuation and has 500 employees. Isn't it astonishing?

A co-op formed by big 3 cloud providers flush with cash and put in maintenance mode.

Apparently, they decided that selling merch is more important than implementing gRPC support.

Selling developer tools to corporate managers is an interesting idea let's see how it works out. Reminds me of Rational/IBM.

Isn't it obvious? Postman Labs is bloated and overvalued, compared to what JetBrains does their product is just nothing.

And a lot of startups that shouldn't exist got financed.

They do have other tools with the word API in them but I kinda doubt their usefulness because of gems like "it will move you left on Gartner quadrant" all over Postman "Labs" website. Another reference point - WhatsApp had around 50 engineers when it was sold to Facebook.

That's why I mentioned "incoherent and probably useless other tools". Apparently, they launched some sort of no-code tool for stringing APIs together but still not ready with their GraphQL client.

For reference, another company that sells developer tools, JetBrains, has around 2000 employees.

Obvious answer - unemployed.

It will be a blood bath.

Postman "Labs", a company that produces a glorified cURL UI and some incoherent most likely useless tools around it received $433M investment at valuation of $2B and apparently has hundreds of employees. Current state of tech is not sustainable.

So what will happen when the tank is already hot from a proper? What will be the CPU temperature when ambient is at 60C?

The job being interesting does though.

I don't really know but guess more powerful electric motors don't cost that much more than less powerful. With ICE cars going from reasonable 200hp to say 600hp requires lots of stuff - large displacement at high RPM or turbos, better cooling and gearbox. It seems that with electric cars this kind of power is essentially free.

Yeah, thought about it. Nobody wants to argue with Elon and nobody gives a shit.
