I'm sure there are a few teams that use Mercurial incidentally somewhere, but our primary megarepo is all on a VCS called Piper. Piper has a Perforce-y interface and there are experimental efforts to use Mercurial with Piper. Also ment

Omega isn't what's used AFAIK. In any case, the actual scheduler data is not the state in question.

It could also lead to greater ownership sharing. If cars are self driving, at that point it's more like a taxi.

Too much chaos and choice and you slow down because everyone has done the same things in slightly different ways. There's a fine balance between allowing choice and setting standards. There's productivity gains as well from having

Been in the startup game, totally understand. I'm presenting my view, which could be wrong but I figured you'd like my unfiltered feedback. Like I said before, we too had it wrong from the start and products we launched after were

I'd still say you need to take a hard look at your pricing. Lets assume we're talking about a pretty standard Rails site on Heroku without ridiculous traffic. Lets say 1500 requests per minute average (25/s). 25 * 86400 * 30

This math _is_ right. 1000 requests/s is 86.4M requests per day. So for 1000 requests in a given second, that's $0.05 per second if you substitute the term. But to show you otherwise: 1000 req/s * 86400s * 30d / 1000 * 0

by Xorlev 10y ago
Wow, this is _really_ expensive! I'm sorry, but $0.05/1000 requests is really really premium. 1000 request/s is $0.05/s. 86400s/day * 30 days * $0.05 -> $129.6K/30d. 1k req/s is not that uncommon either

The problem is the volume of certs needed, not the simplicity of LE for the smaller usecase.

Let's not pretend that you can't fabricate emails too. I strongly suspect that the existence and timestamps of the Drive logs can be verified at multiple levels and exist in backups made around that time. HTTP logs as well as MTA

Sure, but lets say you have well-formed HTML tags. At that point you're looking for things semantically "weird" as opposed to structurally wrong. This helps there.

I'm not sure you saw the scale of that spillway. It is _massive_. Something like 300ft wide and 3000 feet long. An entire football field wide. It's quite obviously not 4 inches thick, but admittedly at the scale of it, 15" do

Security by obscurity is no security at all. Revoke the creds and then either just remove them or run BFG as a secondary measure.

At what point do infrastructure services become the platform? IMO, between GKE, Spanner, BigQuery, etc., it's basically a PaaS for non-trivial applications.

Since each ingest process talked directly to the Accumulo tablet local to it, it really measured loopback+RPC+DFS performance. Knowing how these things usually go, it might have been 100M rows/s but only 100k-1M RPCs/s. It's

Still, it suffers from a lack of visibility. I'd only heard about it because one of our DB vendors in the past had mentioned integrating with it. That said, it's had a lot of interesting development in the last few years (e.g. oce

It's not impossible to have a O(N) sorting algorithm if you add more constraints, e.g. use operations other than comparisons. Most people would be fine with a hybrid radix sort for day to day use.

That's fair, so long as all of your requests have similar allocation profiles. I work on a service which has requests of variable complexity ranging from basically free (10s of KBs) to 10s-100s of MB of allocation. G1GC with a low paus
