I always see this discussion cast as one between scalability (KV) and dev efficiency (SQL), but other reasons to adopt columnar databases include: 1. Difficulty in transitioning a system with SQL-Gone-Wild to a system that can be implemente

I think maybe it's time to embrace many of the upgraded specs available in http2, which you can upgrade http connections to anyways. As for existing solutions that have been around for a while, http keepalives implemented in a smart ma

Which product owner? Totally agree with you, but the reason why it's delivered this way right now is a technical implementation detail. Electron could focus on delivering an API that abstracts away differences between runtime engines

I think that's possibility A, and possibility B is that you could see ops and dev diverge into more separated positions with ops focusing on the network border. Or maybe multi dc becomes more tablestakes than it is currently (so: savin

Yup, and moreover like any good casino it's pretty clear that they did the math already. That's why you're getting $800 fake bucks: they crunch figures on how much of that $800 they'd be on the hook for. If they gave you

Your last paragraph could clearly be implemented in k8s / etc. but the defining characteristic is that you've built organizational controls to protect & optimize a distributed system. And the main problems you bemoan in the fi

Obviously you wouldn't choose consul for this one feature, but if you're already relying on consul as service discovery in your network, why not? You don't need to invent a change management system, you just need to utilize f

Consul has some nice features around change notification that make features like pushing a change in conf without needing a code deploy trivial to implement. Also consul servers are strongly consistent but agents are eventually consistent,

500K for oil in us jobs, at 36% of energy. It's 4% for wind. By 2050 it's projected wind could support 600K jobs so we aren't talking orders of magnitude difference.

I had tons of memory problems on webstorm, basically romping through 4GB+, it was taxing my 16GB laptop at times. Switching to vscode has been a huge resource saver.

Can we talk about the other red headed stepchild of desktop dev which is java cross platform apps? It'll take a lot to get me off my high horse that if all that was ported to electron, it'd be a great upgrade for users. It's

The form factor seems decently innovative to me anyways. This is definitely the most polished implementation of a console that travels from tv to handheld that I've owned.

If Apple released 10.13, waited 2-3 weeks, and then explained that one of their big devs left the company so ~ shrug ~ everyone just downgrade, we're gonna re-do it again but throw everything away, and oh yeah, here's a THIRD beta

I ran into an issue on upgrade that required me to connect to a monitor to figure out what was going on. Basically I just had out of date drivers on a storage controller so I needed to upgrade that, once I did, everything was smooth sailin

Just in case FreeNAS people are lurking around here, all the talk about jails support does not speak to me in the slightest. Utilizing jails has been one of my #1 pain points with FreeNAS. The quality of user-supplied jails was so poor in

Read alternatively, it came off extremely amateurish to straight up admit (or blame, depending on reading) that they're making a wholesale switch off a product line that was in development for a wild, and after public release. There&#

Unless I've missed something for a while, openresty is more a distribution for building apps / apis or complex middleware on top of nginx, not a full-blown CMS. It's a pre-built collection of useful extensions & lua modu

I switched to vscode from webstorm, for performance reasons. Building a native editor / ide is a great idea. But since a lot of options in this area had already chosen some cross-platform toolkit for development, why not build it as
