As usual, these articles are complete garbage. I can only assume at this point that they wilfully conflate the highest tax brackets with the effective tax rate since that makes for a more dramatic story. Yes Sweden has a tax bracket that wo

No, that is not a correct assumption. It's also worth remembering that cloud providers are also servers in racks, but they own the building around it to. For DDoS attacks, you need to have enough capacity to absorb the attack. Major cl

They didn't vote for it, or against it. In most countries, citizens don't get to vote on individual laws. We vote people into power, who then hopefully don't enact laws that harm us. But as we all know by now, that's nev

Unrelated to the article, but trying to read it on my phone made the device heat up significantly in the minute I had the page open. There’s probably some runaway JavaScript on it.

I love the whole “2.3x less CPU overhead per transaction” where Postgres scales from 5% to 65% CPU usage and Oriole sits constantly at 90%. That doesn’t seem like a huge success to me? The predictability sure is nice, but moving the lower e

I would not consider LI to be a fun/dorky social media platform. At least for me, it's mostly forced positivity with a side dish of scams and a bunch of recruiter spam. Remember you can hibernate[1] your LI account if you want. It

I didn’t ask for an update every hour, but an 11hr stretch of silence is not cool. An update every 3 would’ve been fine. Even if there isn’t much new to share, reiterating you’re working on it is useful to reassure your customers. I’m fairl

Incidents happen, that's life. You can hedge your bets, but some things are out of your control. Communicating with your customers however is entirely within your control. Fastmail did a poor job of it. Their status page was useless be

The British Museum stealing things is very on brand for them. It seems there's some extra plagiarism committed by (one of) the two researchers that the British Museum funded to create this exhibit.

It'll be very interesting to see what Intel does in response. They can't really afford to stay behind here, as this would make AMD the preferred vendor for any hyperscaler. It's also bound to make a lot of people in the tech
