More generally, Kubernetes is an abstraction layer between your application and hardware/cloud that allows you to declaratively define what your app is, how it runs, where it runs and what dependencies it needs. All in a standardized f

I"m not sure that it is, given that the empty interface is more annoying (IMO) than just wrapping a native map in a sync.RWMutex. Especially considering that sync.Map just uses a mutex under the hood: https://github.com&#x2F

I've written it before and I'll write it again (despite the massive downvotes from those who want to silence dissent): Title II regulation of the Internet is not the net neutrality panacea that many people think it is. That is the

Only tangentially related, but if you ever get the chance to check out the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva you should do so. I'm not really a watch geek so before going there I was kind of "meh", but that place is incredible.

I'm not sure it's inaccurate to describe Title II regulation as heavy-handed and unnecessary when the most rapid and beneficial growth of the Internet occurred in the 90s when there was little/no regulation.

As a counterpoint to some of the outrage/hysteria over the new net neutrality policy, check out this interview with the new FCC chairman Ajit Pai: https://thefederalist.com/2017/04/26/fcc-chairman-ajit-pa

It seems to me that there may be room for disruption. Currently every TBM (tunnel boring machine) is completely bespoke and is used for exactly one project and is then dismantled/recycled. They cost hundreds of millions of dollars each

GP was a bad example. You probably wouldn't have an RPC returning a simple type. It would instead return a message (aka a Go struct, or an object in JS) which has various fields (or even just a single field). Protobuf messages have bui

It's a very special, magical vault that confers tax-free status as long as you never open it. There's one gold magnate buyer who has expressed interest in buying your store for nearly the full value of the gold because he never in

With public cloud, you're paying for the control plane. Period. Yes the raw compute cost is much higher (and the performance often less) than bare metal, but software development is really, really expensive. With the public cloud you

Exactly. If you write in a way that allocations are controlled, GC becomes irrelevant to performance. Well-optimized Go without allocations is indistinguishable from C (modulo compiler differences).

"In reality, there is no utopia" Shocking! It almost leads one to the conclusion that the only route to a successful happy life is hard work and persistence, regardless of whether you do gigs or a 9-5.

This is disgusting. North Korea deserves not a single dime of Western tourist money. This is literally subsidizing mass murder, torture and famine as a method of social control.

An order of magnitude faster Cassandra with no GC pauses (because it's C++). It's a literal drop in replacement. Even nodetool is compatible.

We don't use it for any production services, but for internal use it's been pretty darn solid. Really fast too, we benchmarked 80k/sec/node inserts on EC2.

By far the most efficient mechanism humanity has ever come up with for distributing scarce resources (such as room on freeways) are free markets. The article is 100% correct that pervasive tolls are the only effective and fair way to reduce
