There are dozens of companies providing kubernetes with various levels of management, and there are also many companies selling addons. It's a huge market, and Docker captured almost none of it. Considering Docker literally developed t

There are literally hundreds of Minecraft clones. It created a genre.

It seems likely that, in the next 50 years, instead of actually curing cancer, we will just get really really good at early detection and prevention.

This made me respect cockroachdb less.

I actually took a class on this stuff in college. Basically, the forces involved are so tremendous that there's probably nothing we can do to prevent an asteroid impact. Also, odds are we wouldn't even detect it until maybe a few

I think one of the main problems is programs compiled in debug mode are surprisingly slow and unrepresentative of things compiled in release mode. So, some projects have to always compile in release mode while testing things, and it takes a

I agree with everything except the projects. It is true that Google Amazon and Facebook have projects that are exclusive. But there are lots of other interesting and widely used projects out there. Redis, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Rust, Firefox,

It's probably relevant to mention https://github.com/BurntSushi/rust-csv . It uses a state machine (which seems to be the author's expertise) to parse CSVs really fast. Based on some other work, you can do bet

To me, this actually makes digital ocean a "real" platform. And it's still cost effective. Very exciting.

$1m + paid off mortgage are probably enough for most of the country. You'll still need to be frugal, depending on your age.

$1m is not enough for most people in the US to never work again, unless they are quite frugal. It's barely enough to retire with.

I don't really understand why people went with this headline and not "PostgreSQL developers discover most programs have used fsync incorrectly for decades, including PostgreSQL".

Worth pointing out that this is what Cloudflare wants people to do, they even have a blog post for it: https://blog.cloudflare.com/logs-from-the-edge/

Notice people found out about this last week, but the CEO waited to apologize and make promises until the New York Times published a scathing article about it this morning.

Actually, this is exactly a scenario in which a sync.Map would be useful. Typically, you would use pointers to atomic integers as the sync.Map values in a case like this.

Wow. I'm cancelling my instacart account immediately. They've made so many mistakes in the past, but I liked their app. But this crosses the line by a mile. When I give someone a tip, it's not because I chose to pay more for

It's a little buggy but it does everything the paid tools do. The only thing I really dislike is it requires Java.

They still haven't converted everything and don't even really need to. AWS duplicated a lot of internal stuff, it didn't really replace it.

That could work for some people, but when you're ingesting 10+ GB / day (which is not difficult, even just from access logs) and need to keep them for several years, it quickly becomes infeasible.

That's probably exactly what happened.

This is not a story of NIMBYs, this is a story of how LA can't make decisions for the greater good because anything that affects a useful part of the metro area requires independent agreement from multiple cities with very different de

It really pains me how Google has changed. When I was younger I always wanted to work there. Now that I've graduated college, I would probably never want to work there.

OMG this will save me so much time if it works. I wish they had this feature a few years ago!

I agree, I think for most people that's the main hesitation with Google Cloud. Especially when there are outages, it feels as if Google has very few people working on the product.

That's not true. With SSDs we can sync with the disk more often, but it's still very slow.

There are lots of other good things about the area- good schools, physical room for them to grow and take over a bunch of buildings, lots of engineers and business people in the area already, etc.

Objectively, JIRA is buggy, slow, complicated, and hard to use. Unfortunately, it is also useful. Is it a good tool? No. Does it sometimes let you do things that you couldn't do before? Yes. I would not choose to use it under basically

I mean it's not that outrageous out of the context of healthcare. I don't expect Best Buy to help me find how to spend the least amount of money, for example.

This is an objectively good thing, and I'm glad it is so small it was able to pass without being politicized. Although it probably won't change much since most pharmacists already ignore rules like that.

Interesting! That sounds like a garbage collector bug! It's probably worth opening a ticket.
