I worked in the Amazon warehouse for a while and (if my memory is correct) for this to work, Amazon would need to have a dedicated area for each vendor so that all vendor X goods are in bay Y, for example but costs would soar! However, they

If you look at something like K8s, it'll try and make contact with the other service running on the same node as itself, thus removing networking delays. It's entirely feasible that all incoming requests will hit a single node and

Just as another anecdote, mine failed to launch a local website I was debugging. That's my first time opening FF today. I opened JetBrains Rider (on Fedora 35) and debugged my site (Alt + F5) and it launched to a blank page with FF loc

I agree with advertising being a racket but the internet used to work just fine before the likes of Google, Facebook and payments for access to things etc. For those of us old enough to remember, there was a time when people created things

Yes but if you have reliable power from two different sources then the biggest risk (I'd imagine) is the failover circuitry! Something that should be tested tbh. Also, there are banks of batteries and generators in between the power co

Really? You'd think at Amazon's scale an additional PSU in a 1U custom-built server (I assume they're custom) would be a few tens of $ at most. Actually, now that I type that it makes sense. Scaling a few tens of dollars to a

I've built out many 42U racks in DC's in my time and there were a couple of rules that we never skipped: 1. Dual power in each server/device - One PSU was powered by one outlet, the other PSU by a different one with a differe

Nope, I still click the "X" in the top corner every time I open it. However, I use WhatsApp sparingly - my mum and one friend, that's it. At some point I'll remove it completely.

You're assuming that "opt-out" is the right thing here! It's not. All this stuff should be opt-in: I shouldn't have to tell people to leave me alone.

Honestly? I'm fine with this: You're using space on their servers - This is the very definition of cloud imo. It's also a decent solution rather than just dropping the banhammer and locking your account so you can't then

I don't doubt that this is a major milestone: gawd knows, I couldn't program a car to do that. But something that I would like to know is what happens when it fails? Or at least, seems to have failed? At the moment, if I buy a car

OMG, the mere mention of G-Police and I was catapulted back to the 90s... I loved that game! So much so, that I tried to find a copy of it earlier this year but couldn't get one (bootleg or otherwise) that would run :( Great memories!

I mean that the Gov will come along and say: "See that hashing thing you have, this secret gov. order that you can't tell anyone about says you need to look for this list of hashes too. If you find them, you have to let these 5 pe

How do you know that there isn't already a secret order in place to look for a particular list of hashes? Perhaps something that has been sealed due to national security? If it's triggered, send the details to a particular group o

I meant that they won't hide what it will do. It will be called something benign and fluffy and it will be "for your protection". That's what I meant.

And if the government makes it illegal to have a certain document, or a book, what happens then? You can guarantee Apple will report you. They have to. It will be the law. It will be used for human rights abuses. Guaranteed.

I don't believe that they'll slip it under the radar at all. I think they'll brand it as something awesome and magical and just add it anyway. People, for the most part, don't scratch the surface EVER, so they'll ju

Unfortunately the old-fashined way: do it out of hours with a backup first :( I've never had to work on a 24/7 critical system so I dunno how to do that.

I'm trying to be a bit more positive these days given all the negativity surrounding us but I'm under no illusion that FB's raison d'etre is data-gathering and advertising at all costs, even to the detriment human life.
