This is common feedback I'm getting for those interested in hobbyist tier. I'm thinking we'll put something in place for free frictionless small evaluation after we think about fraud management a little bit. Thanks for the fe

Can you describe what are the limitations you might be willing to live with on a frictionless sign up? For example, if you only had 2 compute hours, would it be enough for your evaluation?

I'm aware this is going to turn a significant number of people away. The fact is in the early stage, this will help restrict fraud and bring in more engaged customers to ensure their expectations are met. It's not something we pla

Hey Thanks! This is the most common question! Other FaaS solutions require your code or your workflow to be structured in some way to fit in with their system, not to mention requiring you to use their tools. Coherence integrates with the p

Hey, we could do this but I'm curious why you would prefer this? More solid payment expectations?

This is great feedback, and initially I had a calculator for this. We removed it because we felt it would be intuitive but you're right we built it and it's easy to lose that outside perspective. It's really just the running

Every services provider will deal with this. We have plans but ultimately won't really know until we're in the thick of it. Our plans though are to limit bandwidth and ban abusers. We'll work with Stripe's Radar platform

Thanks! Our cold-start times have a way to go, they're around 1 minute on the first invocation of some set of binaries and less than 20 seconds on subsequent invocations. We've done a lot more work on optimizing the subsequent inv

I'm not too sure what you mean here. In terms of DOS'ing our services, we limit disk space usage per job, and are working on bandwidth limitations (this is a weakness, but for now we'll just ban abusers and work with those wi

Hey, help me understand how you envision Coherence could help you debug that network. I'm moving over some of my own services to Coherence so it's very much intended to "run your whole business".

Hey HN. I've been hacking on this for a while so I could unify the infrastructure for the different web services I was running. Deploying a modern infrastructure is complex and takes time to learn. The common denominator is that you us

We've made the assumption that users will enter malicious code and designed the security boundaries around that. A malicious user that manages to break out of the container environment will only have access to other instances of their

Hey HN, I've been eager to share this with you. I've finally released and I think this is going to be very useful for a lot of devs who are like me. Coherence API is a twist on serverless that lets you deploy and run code the same

Precision of language is important.

From the language of the article it's somewhat ambiguous. "A capacity factor of 100 percent means the wind farm would be sending 30MW of power to the grid every minute of every day since it's been in operation." The &quo

> sending 30MW of power to the grid every minute of every day One of those little inconsistencies that stood out to me... Scratches head MW = 1000J / s What happens when you send 30MW per minute.. 30MW per minute = 1000J / s

Dropshipping is viable but not nearly as easy as most make it out to be. The main benefit of dropshipping is usually that you don't manage any inventory, but prices and really anything but making the sale to the customer is out of your

Thanks for commenting here! I was inspired by sandstorm's supervisor.c++ while looking into container security which actually eventually led me to this issue. > For example, Docker mounts /proc, albeit read-only; I can't f

This is true. I suppose the issue is if people naively rely on defaults with ICC disabled.

Perhaps I don't understand this rule properly, but isn't this dropping all traffic being forwarded from the interface?

I think some more research is needed here. I'm wondering if containers could abuse ARP to find the neighboring addresses.

How does the isolation compare with docker in general? Not familiar with freeBSD jails.
