Sure, but Openstack-based public clouds are in short supply (unfortunately? fortunately?). I think the short explanation is that pure OSS stacks limit providers ability to move fast and differentiate. So it’s a race the bottom for Openstack

What’s interesting about these mega contracts is that I’m sure there is consideration of second-order and long term effects, beyond the contract itself. E.g. If awarding the JSF contract to Boeing would have caused Lockheed to go out of bus

While I respect the job that libvirt does (it works — high praise for software), it’s unfortunate that it is also the answer to the question “how can I represent all these virtualized things using XML?”, which was in fashion when libvirt wa

Interesting. I didn’t know you could do that in python with a list. It would be trivial for Go to support the delete keyword on slices (mapping to the statement you noted), but I think it would be a bad idea. Sometimes you want an operation

This is a total red herring. I don't know why the numbers are consistently different for the different programs, but the compiler is completely optimizing out the function call in both cases. Consider the example where you do two print

> The zero-length optimization probably doesn't exist for arrays in this context This is no distinction for arrays for non-array. E.g. [0]int is a valid type, and it's size is zero. It is treated exactly the same as all other z

I believe your comment is wrong though. Those two things will use exactly the same amount of memory. The data pointer in the slice points to an array-type of size zero. All allocations for objects of size zero return a fixed address in the

Certainly in some ways. But AOC (with others) arguably shifted an entire mainstream party's platform. I think that the "hard power" that Bezos has is larger, but the "soft power" wielded by political and cultural el

I don't understand this. Clearly not all people have the same political power, regardless of the existence of billionaires. AOC, as a party firebrand, has more political power than Jeff Bezos, although it manifests differently. You can

I suspect that you’re dramatically overestimating the show’s ability to influence people. I doubt that those people went from level-headed, rational thought to believing Alex Jones conspiracy theories; I’m sure Joe Rogan’s show already had

I get your point, but I think the restaurant analogy is flawed. With restaurants, there’s an ongoing relationship and and expectation about shifts. There’s just a small amount of flexibility. The employee with take some good ones, some bad

You are absolutely free to disagree with your landlord by moving out and finding another place to live. Ideally there are no government constraints on either party (e.g. housing assignments, rental limitations and controls, etc.). I don’t r

The parent asked for clarity on which writings, and I am similarly curious. I can’t imagine a Libertarian worldview that isn’t aware of the fact that actions that impinge of the rights and freedoms of others need to be limited, and enforcin

The article indicates that most cases are actually relating to ending an affair, rather than initiating a divorce. E.g. someone is hired to seduce a husband’s mistress, and cause the mistress in turn to end the affair. Seems like a crazy

I don’t know how many people you worked with closely in two years, but I strongly suspect it’s not enough to properly conclude that “the more tenure an engineer had the worse they were”. I’ll point out the irony of having this discussion on

You missed the point: I didn’t make any sweeping generalizations. I’m advocating against that. The only generalization I made is that the existing generalization about anti-engineering is hooey. And I don’t know why you’re assuming I’m an I

Right, but Go itself, which builds on those ideas was built within Google. I have no objection to attributing ideas, but you seem to want to attribute some general “quality of engineering” attributes to “not Google”. The people doing thin

It’s pretty uncool to use just two years of experience at a place as a credential to shit on the culture of that place (and through implication, the engineers there). I’ve been at Google for six years, and I’ve never encountered a “hostilit

I don’t understand who wants auto-updates. The best practices I’m familiar generally have immutable things (images, containers), with new versions deployed continuously (with a build & validation pipeline). In-place upgrade just adds ne

Provider#1 only knows all traffic goes to provider#2. Provider#2 knows everywhere your traffic goes. They don’t know your IP, but you need to login, so they know who you are anyways.

I’ll point out that untangling health insurance from employment does not necessarily require a “Medicare for all”-style universal care system. This is a subtext to your comment since you jumped there from the parent’s complaint about empl

Unfortunately, there does seem to be a massive lack of consistency on which intolerance to tolerate. Since we’re talking about Bari Weiss, Israel serves as a good example. While the left is typically critical of Israel and their “racist”, “

You don’t think they’d treat you better if you were a family member of someone in the gang? Or that you’d get different treatment if your local goon was a psycho or a softie?
