I guess the question is how will it be enforced and what would the penalties be for reporting inaccurate or outdated data? Companies do not understand "must" unless it's accompanied by a proven threat of sanctions that outw

With the low cost & power of modern microcontrollers, instead of having the dongle act purely for licensing purposes you could offload some of your "secret sauce" to it (I assume your software does a lot of calculations with s

The salaries may be high in absolute terms, but they’re still low in relative terms - compared to what jumping ship would give you when you have a resume full of buzzwords.

None of the autoscaling solutions presented in the post address the database issue either. I agree that in general the database is always going to be your bottleneck and autoscaling appservers is generally bullshit. But let’s assume your DB

Java or C# is a nice middle ground. But even in python you can enforce said separation - one module can only import from itself, libraries or any other module’s “services” object, and must export its functions in its own “services” object.

This behavior is self-inflicted by a decade of low pay and lack of significant raises to reward seniority. The most effective way to increase income for a developer is to join a place, rack up as many buzzwords as possible and leave after 2

You don’t need to buy them, you can get them from AWS for that period only . Doesn’t mean your whole stack needs to be on AWS.

Out of interest how do you get the authority to make those decisions and have the existing developers continue working productively after this? To me it seems like microservices (or cloud, or whatever) is often overused for career/bu

WoL is reliable when waking from sleep/suspend. I have yet to see consumer HW that can do it from poweroff. But if suspend is fine, all you have to do is configure your firmware to turn on after power loss (so you always boot into your

Which is why you should not be going to AWS to begin with when there are plenty of providers who will give you orders of magnitude more performance for this price. (of course, say goodbye to resume points and your cloud provider conference

That's often the case yes. In a monolith a developer disgruntled about the situation can clean up the mess in a weekend, test it and push it through. No chance of that happening in microservices - you'd run out of weekend just ope

You can get the separation benefits of microservices in a compiled language with modules that only communicate over well-defined interfaces, constraining each team within their own module without having to introduce a network call between e

Would love to see what those guys do against a device including actual KB/mouse/etc chips and simulating inputs to those chips' analog input lines. From the host machine it's undetectable - it looks like a real KB/m

Good post in general but some caveats: 1) His user numbers are off by an order of magnitude at least, as other comments have mentioned. Even a VM/VPS should handle more, and a modern bare-metal server will do way more than the quoted

A Flex PCB connecting the OCP2 connector would allow to put the converter board behind the NIC board, allowing the NIC board to be exposed to the aluminum case to use the case itself as a heatsink (would need a split case so the NIC board

Neat, but the thermal design is absolutely terrible. Sticking that heatsink inside the aluminum case without any air circulation is awful.

Would there be any advantage in using Yocto if you only ever have one target (x86 in my case)? Been happily using Buildroot but wondering just how greener the grass is on the other side.

Why not? Docker is effectively free on Linux. You only get the performance hit on macOS and Windows (since it runs the containers in a hidden Linux VM).

My point is that you can go very far and solve real-world problems with the basic primitives alone. While I’m sure there are legitimate uses for the services you mentioned, I’ve also witnessed plenty of engineering playgrounds where complex

If you’re going to go multi-region and take the latency hit may as well go multi-provider no? Multi-region within the same provider won’t shield you against unknown shared dependencies on a single point of failure (AWS console auth still re

It would also help not taxing those incomes at 60%. Every time I look at a permanent role in Europe, if I didn't already close the tab based on the offered salary, I plug the number into a take-home calculator and then I close the tab

80k net is 6.6k. If you're getting 80k (which is the very upper end of the range) it's likely you are in Paris, where you're gonna give at least 2k of that on rent for a shitty damp place, and double that for something decent
