Notable that this happened less than 24 hours before a trilateral meeting between Turkey, Russia, and Iran to negotiate a peace in Syria without any US involvement. http://tass.com/politics/920319

Canon cameras already have ethernet ports. I'd much rather the camera support iSCSI so that I can mount a network block device and save to that. I wouldn't trust any consumer electronics crypto support. The form factor of an embed

The only way this could have worked was to push cyclists and meat-drivers off the road and hand the bulk of the decision making to something centralized. I'm so thankful this vision appears to be dying.

If the plan is still to build a huge Ceph-backed filesystem to store your git repos on, you are doomed. Redhat, if you're out there: Now would be a good time to chime in about the limits of Ceph and the reasonable size of a filesystem.

Not only is it not an Ansible fork, Stonic is not software. So far they have accomplished a blog post and some empty Github repos.

Did HEG make any acquistions after becoming part of Cinven? If it's the exact same assets, going from $667 million to $1.82 billion in three years is some pretty good work. 2013 acquistion: https://www.bloomberg.com/new

Private clouds wouldn't be the recurring disaster that they are if the people who built them had used AWS before. Instead of "don't build private clouds," I'd offer "If you think Openstack means 'free VMWa

I was paid pretty well yesterday to judiciously delete a lot of code, and I had a blast.

You underestimate how alien " http://www.yahoo.com./" looked in 1995.

You're right, but the leverage to get something cheaper only exists because Yahoo did things so wrong.

This is great news. The only way we will have a chance to start doing things right as an industry is if there are serious consequences for doing things wrong.

I applaud anyone willing to look back and reason about what we've lost. In this case, I prefer leaving the past in the past. Startups used to need to hire dedicated DBAs, and these days they largely don't. Scaling business logic t

"Any infrastructure with lots of data. Data just takes time to move; backups take time to restore." Exactly. Don't put data in Docker. Files go in an object store, databases need to go somewhere else.

The first thing that jumped out at me in "Site Reliability Engineering" is that 1-2 incidents per on call shift is a reasonable amount. That's insane, unless you're only on-call twice a year.

Yes, 24-hour-industries need to staff 24-hours-a-day. Note that air control towers are staffed with air traffic controllers, not aeronautical engineers. Also note that they're being paid to be there, and they don't ATC from their
