Are there any load test reports? How well does it scale?

You don’t let people start up the service if it will exceed a cost quota. For ec2 that should be easy since the cost ticks at a constant rate and can be extrapolated in advance, but yeah other usage based services like s3 and network traffi

Wasn’t bad, but they couldn’t compete with the top companies, and the folks they were getting weren’t good enough.

I do the same thing and would also really love to know who thinks it’s in any way good. I hit it all the time by accident and suddenly in the middle of typing iTunes pops up, or an IntelleJ config window, vi sort of works but amazingly the

Right, the CIO is also being held to a lower standard than a P&L. The CIO could have planed out an interim solution to meet the business needs quicker. If the tables were turned, say the CIO needed to deliver a service and didn’t have a

I’ve been part of similarly generalized ACL systems and it’s pretty straightforward and very similar to Zanzibar. Though we didn’t need n ACLs and could assume the list wasn’t too long, so we didn’t need a tree. If we did, then we’d have en

by argd678 7y ago
The distinguishing feature I see compared to other systems is the ACL ordering and consistency, which is indeed difficult to do at scale. Looks like Spanner is doing most the heavy lifting, great use case for the database.

So that direct sense of understanding something, without any helping intermediates like symbols or visual aids, is just the mind directly. It is its own thing. Another way to look at it, is if everything you thought needed a symbolic or phy

Yeah that requires practice in getting out of thinking physically. There’s a well known and very old exercise back from the 9th century where you visualize a man sitting in a conch shell, and the man has not shrunk and the shell has not cha

It’s because you’re caught on thinking dimensions are physical, if you realize it’s all really just data it’s pretty simple since you’re doing it already.

by argd678 7y ago
It’s because concepts are just dimensions of information, they don’t always have a physical representation, you can associate and create different levels of abstractions, have different views, sort of like an OLAP cube. You’re doing this al

It would be good if they apply the policy consistently to people in power too, such as politicians. I doubt they will though.

by argd678 7y ago
Quite right, for the sake of a visual mental support of a 3d imagine you’re limited to three dimensions, where as the mind doesn’t have these limitations and is n dimensional.

Also if you don’t write a debugger and report line numbers on errors, you have not fully understood your problem domain.

The internet increased the synchronization of what people believe at what time, fake or real. It’s like around the world everyone knows the same 30 news stores every day and has one of just a few standard opinions about them. That then infl

There’s no way to know what the reasons are for the reviews either way. Sometimes the app messes up the location it sends drivers to, is the driver faulting me and giving me a lower rating? Does the driver not like the conversation? I think

What frameworks did you use to create the UI?

You could innovate and make spreadsheet debugable, or allow comments. The argument that users don’t want a way to know what the logic they’ve created does is taking the point of view the users are idiots and don’t know any better rather tha

I think the I in AI is going to come to mean Idiot after a while due to the lack of nuanced perception and just going off of broad brush strokes. It’s akin to jumping to conclusions, we’ve just created computers that can do that now.

What is the criteria you use to determine they’re successful? If you have an interactive debugger and a way to test the code, I could see it being feasible. If not, then there’s plenty of examples of DSLs that are in use that people are for

Agreed, the data model of Terraform simply doesn’t match the problem domain. You need an algorithm to codify the pattern and then data to fill in the params. Terraform doesn’t allow you to create the patterns you need in a way that’s debuga

I think the adoption would be better if they had a Community Edition like JetBrains does. It’s trickier with their products though since their main market is academic, but there may will be “enterprise” features that can be added to make it
