That's fair, but at the same time: If the end-state is "containers should contain, they're secure, any insecurities are bugs" then why do we see so many defense-in-depth strategies like gVisor pop up which provide legiti

Well, time is complicated, but not for reasons that really matter to 99.95% of engineers (relativity and such). At its most basic level, Time is really just a monotonically increasing counter of seconds (or ms or ns or whatever). That'

Thinkorswim (from TDAmeritrade) has it for free. Just open a brokerage or IRA or something and you can access a paper trading account there; its among most powerful trading platforms widely available to consumers, and is surprisingly user f

Its kind of amazing to me that we haven't heard more, or maybe aren't seeing more, research into drugs or therapy which could reduce the amount of sleep people need. We'd be talking about the greatest boon to global productiv

So, what you're saying is, Uber is committed to accessibility when its easy for them and there's big PR points to score. That's probably correct.

The big problem with type inference, at least at API boundaries, is that its hard to tell who's "fault" an error might be. FuncA() returns T1, inferred. FuncB() expects it to return T2. Is FuncB expecting the wrong thing? Or

$0.01/AU/day isn't crazy. I'd actually argue its low, compared to some of the other enterprise or social media bills we've seen. You can't just say "I could serve 1000 users on a $240/year VPS, they s

Their elasticsearch fork is literally called Open Distro for Elasticsearch. Its totally open, and all licensed as Apache 2.0. Their mongodb clone isn't. It'd be kind of cool if it was, but there's substantial evidence its bas

Mongo and Elastic built all of their technology on top of open source tech. Elasticsearch is built on Lucene. Its written in Java, and I'd bet a penny that they're not paying Oracle for that. Let's just take a quick look at M

The article addresses that: Whole Foods literally contracted the same people between 2003 and 2007. These stores are like Whole Foods in part because they're designed by the same people. They also mention Niemann's relationship wi

Apologies, I misspoke. SQS does have a FIFO+Exactly Once Processing mode, so it will never introduce duplicate messages into the queue. It of course doesn't have exactly once delivery without additional state tracking on the consumer o

The only people worried about vendor lock-in are people who have practically nothing of value to be locked-in. "Lambda is horrible for lock-in, once you're hitting billions of invocations a month you're going to wish you coul

To be fair: Microsoft has the most powerful "local hardware" out there right now, with the One X. Though, having both a One X and a PS4P, while multiplatform games like RDR2 definitely look better on the One X, there are some game

I agree. The reality is that electron gets a bad rep because it enables anyone to create "native" application. There are TERRIBLE websites, even many made by very large corporations with otherwise talented developers (cough atlass

Lambda is an incredibly interesting architecture, but its pretty rare to find a use-case that makes sense given its inherent limitations. There's always going to be a cold start; even if they manage to optimize the runtime cold start t

This exists, in Aurora Serverless. It is a shame they haven't opened it up to the other RDS databases.

I can't for the life of me think of a compelling reason why regional fallover is something most companies would want in a db. It sounds great, but the reality is: the last time Azure had a regional failure, it also took down other regi

Those subscriptions would have been footnotes in a Google event; that's why Apple is different. When Google enters a market with a new product, most of the time it's a half-assed play by some middle manager to get a promotion. Whe

I prefer a structure of: variable length sprints + optional 1 week interlude. I don't understand why the "sprint length" is this set-in-stone thing. "We do 3 week sprints, we never deviate". That's not very agi

I don't feel that anything is wrong with it; it's just not the whole answer for many projects. You end up bundling tons of middleware for things like logging, metrics, tracing, authn, etc. If you use typescript, you inevitably end

I feel very strongly about this: The single most important thing for a growing software project is Using Opinionated Tooling. Too many new projects, libraries, frameworks, etc come around and broadcast "we're Unopinionated!"
