An HVAC system above ground would generate far more heat. The advantage of sinking the data center would appear to be that it can function with passive cooling from the surrounding water only, no HVAC. This means less electricity consumptio

Yep you are right about SIGTERM, but let's think back to the original reason why we wanted to update the node: because of a patch, probably a security patch for a CVE? What is the better option here? Implement a SIGTERM based process t

There are any number of reasons to avoid restarting things. Some customers are running code that has a cold start and needs some time to warm up its cache if it restarts. Some customers are running jobs (video rendering, machine learning tr

Yes! It already is in fact. The ECS documentation provides the list of Bottlerocket AMI's you can launch into your ECS clusters: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/... I'd a

I can provide a little background on this. In general yes I would recommend that you just use an ASG and roll out a new AMI. However that approach can be very expensive and time-consuming at truly massive scale (1000's or even 10'

Bottlerocket runs containers using containerd, so containers are visible as processes on the host, from its perspective, not currently isolated from each other via a hypervisor. Bottlerocket limits containers ability to interact with the ho

Hi I'm a developer advocate in the container engineering org at AWS. I think there are a few misunderstandings here that I may be able to explain better. First Bottlerocket is not Amazon Linux 2, it is its own minimal operating system,

To be honest Apple has to feature PUBG, because this fight with Epic is hugely damaging to their reputation with the next generation of kids who want devices. The message that young preteens and teens are hearing is "iPhones and iPads

Hi I'm a developer advocate in the AWS Container organization. This question of how to handle resource destruction is an active issue on the project, and we'd welcome your comments (or those of anyone else) on this Github issue:

I'd say that the most effective DevRel folks do a bit of all three: marketing, engineering, and product. The marketing aspect has already been discussed in great detail, so I'll address the other two areas. If you aren't a pr

Yeah a lot of low carb diets replace sugar with super high cholesterol foods. It's not uncommon to hear keto influencers talking about how they can eat as much steak and bacon and cheese as they want.

I assumed that the author was thinking about screens 10 years ago, which didn't have oleophobic coatings yet. So fingerprints and smudges built up in layers really fast and made it hard to read the screen.

Right. If io.js couldn't become popular enough to fully replace node.js even with backwards cross compatibility with existing NPM packages then Deno is an even harder sell.
237.
by NathanKP 6y ago
Deno is highly unlikely to replace Node. Instead it will just inspire some forward improvements in Node just like the node.js / io.js fork did back in 2014. io.js was separate from Node for a while, had a few core passionate fans, but
