Oh sure -- for piddly enterprise nonsense, having some VM yeeting magic to HA a thing that's not HA is .... yeah, I guess. Ideally in combination with tested backups for when the HA magic corrupts instead of protects, but such is life

I was referring to the notion that "failings" in the hypervisor layer like "hot swap, shared block storage, host movements, online backup/clone, live recovery, Highly available host failover" are a problem. At sca

I was referring more to the list of hypervisor features not implemented: >> Because EC2's hypervisor was (when it was launched) lacking features (no hot swap, not shared block storage, no host movements, no online backup/c

I find this sort of trade-off exercise really fascinating. There are tons of examples of situations where risk is very different depending on how long or how much/often something happens. It seems like business schools, who train many

I tell people "An OCI container is a way to turn any random runtime into a statically linked binary." It is very useful for managing dependency hell, or at least moving it into "API dependencies" not "Library depend

And sometimes you sacrifice solvency as well? Gambling on exponential growth and then having the growth fall short (say, because people moved their personal web sites to facebook instead of squarespace) is a risk in any time you go big or g

It sounds like investors invested billions of dollars making a product that makes million dollars per quarter? So from that perspective, was this ever a successful company or just a grand party thrown by the investors? Isn't this just

I'm not sure your accountant would agree. An un or under-rented building has some potential value based on various hand-wavy factors. Things may get better next year and you've only lost a year's of potential revenue. You m

I've got one of those cheapo 16a chargers from amazon. It's been outside for 3 years running now and still works as well as it did when I installed it. I'm not 100% comfortable with using a nema 6-20 instead of hard-wiring

"gigacasting" is akin to semiconductor lithography vs discrete logic. A cast part needs a bit of finishing machine work and validation, but is otherwise "liquid metal goes here / finished part comes out" -- very ver

Cast parts are pretty strong and typically you'll put some energy absorbing fixtures in places likely to get hit, attached in a way that's cheaper to replace. Once you get into the innards of the car, if it's dealing with eno

from the article: Such moves also reflect a fundamental strategy shift, with Tesla now focusing more on developing self-driving vehicles than on pushing for huge growth in EV sales volume, which many investors had been counting on. Sheesh.

What I said was that the first holy war of unix I remember is the DJB vs everyone else. As far as I can tell, as odd as DJB's designs may have seemed, they were and are ... way better than what was and still hold up today; most of the

A quick google indicates that it was made default in debian 8 in 2015, which is 9 years ago, not 12. Perhaps it was available prior to then, but so were daemontools, upstart, and probably a variety of other alternatives.

There have been lots of suggestions for how to improve linux / unix for a very long time. The first great war I remember, and I'm sure there were more before I was around, was DJB vs everyone. For the most part, I think his desig

I am pretty comfortable with suggesting one OS as the "hardware" OS and another OS for the userland... Alpine's design makes it really well suited to "hardware"; I'd even suggest it's probably a good way t

Long ago, it was that a linux system was "linux kernel, big pile of random GNU utilities for userland" while a BSD was "every utility is written by the same team." This ends up with the documentation "working"

Would these performance concerns be an issue if you were using alpine "on the metal" and debian containers? When running complex applications I find it's simplest to "compile" the application into a container thus r

I imagine if you've got some performance sensitive workload that relies on glibc for that performance you would "just" run that application in a container. For many situations, performance is a secondary concern relative to s
