350TB of memory, and 50,000 cores, nice. ARP caching seems to be a common issue in cloud environments. AWS recommends turning it off and does so itself in their Amazon Linux distro.

There are quite a few red flags in the story, nevermind the ICO. - Pitching before building - Delaying release for more development - "Tremendous growth" but no one willing to put up $$ - What is forcing a series A? Are you out of

As in you investigate why their employers couldn't retain their talent? The way employers view "job hoppers" says a lot about the work place culture, speaking from experience on both sides and both philosophies. (One philosop

It's not clear how this is different from what is currently possible. I'm not a route53 guru but can't you already a) create a subdomain microservice.mydomain.com b) create instances c) add the instances IP address to an A or

I think what dionidium was getting at was he only had about 20% of the story and filled in the rest in an uncharitable way. If dionidium is not the manager of that employee, dionidium does not deserve or require an excuse or explanation. If

Docker doesn't imply not having config management. In fact for our infrastructure that was using puppet to build vms, we just run puppet as part of `docker build` instead. Still using config management and our prod, staging and dev env

Doesn't this require you to trust Equifax to enforce and honor the freeze? I think the solution is "I don't want my report or any of my data in any sort of control or possession of Equifax". Where is that solution?

Interesting that usually GCP is one upping AWS on some metric but in this case it isn't touching the current largest compute/memory instance on EC2, the X1 family with up to 128 vCPUs and 4TB of memory. Though the blog does allude

You may be alluding to it, but Black Mirror has an episode that features the fallout of such a technology already. I believe it was in the first season.

Right, a Honda Accord is a nice car to most people and could be interpreted as top of the market. Now, if your post said for the right person, I had a budget to give them $150k in Austin, TX then we'd be getting somewhere. "top

That might be an age thing. Once you have seniority in either field you gain a lot more free time if you want. Source: Am a software engineer, wife is a physician and we both have plenty of free time.

by djb_hackernews 9y ago
Thanks, I have looked at this as well. There are a few issues: - It only scales worker nodes - It only scales nodes if a pod can't be scheduled. This is too late for us as are requirements are to scale when resource utilization crosses

by djb_hackernews 9y ago
We have, and as far as we could see it is a command line tool that needs to be run manually. This model doesn't work for us as we scale instances in and out by the dozens throughout the day. I could be missing something but anything th

This is great. I have been looking at Kubernetes for sometime and have struggled with adapting it to our deployment model. A lot of the tools and tutorials want someone to sit and run commands in order to start controllers and worker nodes

My guess is it wasn't much of a debate and in actuality they used something like Simulink to model the control system and then had that generate the C++ code for the target hardware. I doubt any car control system software is written b

I've seen this prediction about Africa for the past 20 years. And it's probably even older than that. It's not a particularly bold one, in my opinion, but it is a flawed one. Africa is not a country, it is a continent. Compar
