Having worked for storage services for the cloud, it's not a massive premium. Things are kept pretty close to costs. We have to, it's a similar race to the bottom case. Each time one of the clouds drop storage costs, the others

> most of AWS revenue is servers and storage The way that cloud businesses work, you sell the servers for about as cheap as you possibly can do. Instance prices are all a race to the bottom among the providers, because servers are large

I guess Docker has been around long enough now that people have forgotten just how much of an absolute pain it used to end up being. Just how often I'd have to repeat the joke Them: "Well, it works on my machine!" Me: &quot

It's not modern retro-console styling, it's literally making it act like Nintendo's own initial refresh.

I'm another who loves firefox on android. It annoys me that to some degree Android forces chrome on you, even if firefox is set as your default. The full plugin support that got added in the last year really took it up a notch too.

First code reviews are always interesting with interns, I love reading through them to learn stuff (I'm an operations focussed / sysadmin type, coding is more something I've picked up as I've gone along and wanted to aut

Slightly random anecdote. Had an intern one summer at a large tech company I worked for, who was determined to inject a red-black tree in to the project they were working on for us, using hand-rolled code. I'm not sure what was going

Why is it a problem with FedRAMP? CentOS 8 is FIPS certified, has STIG profiles etc.

I don't have perfect pitch, but I can hit concert A perfectly. One of the sounds I can vividly recall is the sound of an orchestra tuning!

I know what they look like. Could describe them to you. Draw them on a piece of paper. Can't visualise one in my head. Heck, I can't even visualise what my wife and kids look like, something that my wife finds astonishing (and sad

It's also heavily used on Android, so that's some 3bn devices (based on active users numbers from earlier this year). Plus it's in Firefox, Chrome, and so on.

Why is PCIe expensive?

It was VistaPro, for me. So many hours of fiddling with variables, and rendering new worlds.

The US is not majority rule, assume you're talking about the US. Between Gerrymandering and the First Past the Post system, it's really not that uncommon for minority rule. The easiest example of that being the 2016 Presidential

I copied the initial/naive code presented and discovered that the compiler has clearly gained a few smarts in the last 3 years as it no longer bothers generating the fractal, unless you actually save to disk. If you want to skip saving

I'm not sure what you were expecting people to take away from your message, with the way that it is worded. It may not have been the intent, but the particular way you expressed your point heavily implies it.

EBS volumes are "expensive" compared to S3, due to the limitations of what you can do with live block volumes + replicas, vs S3. It takes more disk space to have an image be a provisioned volume ready to be used for copy-on-write

Okay, no. I know I called out performance in my post, but that was just from my observations. It surprised me to see something be that much slower than pure python. If you show me a near-python code example in a new language, as someone w

Bitonic sort runs in 0m2.035s. Transpiled to c and compiled it takes 0m0.425s. that sum example, transpiled to C and compiled takes 1m12.704s, so it looks like it's just the VM case that is having serious issues of some description!
