At the most basic level performance is way below what I have seen with AWS. It was taking about 20 times longer to load data into a database cluster in Azure then into AWS. Additionally Azure is _just_ getting Availability zones online. Pre

I think its less of tailoring for AWS and more that AWS is worlds ahead of Google and Microsoft in their commercial offerings, and especially their government offerings. For instance Google Cloud does not have a High certification from FedR

One of the things I love about open source projects is they are almost forced to do this and it works great. Having designs written down and iterated on helps in planning and designing, and helps when its time to make changes. Being able to

I don't have a lot of experience with mu, but I went with notmuch and have really liked it. It reminds me a lot of the standard gmail interface.

I will add my own anecdote that if anything Tesla is underrated. Not only is the drivetrain in the car worlds ahead of anything else on the road, but the fringe parts of the company like the supercharger network and service organization so

The statute they are charging him with says he has to have made an untrue statement of a "material" fact. So his defense is what he said was not an untrue statement of a "material" fact. You could make the argument that

I recently migrated to staying on GMail but using offlineimap and a program called notmuch to view and send mail. In this world I have all my mail locally, GMail is just an IMAP endpoint to store my mail.

DC was listed in that article as one of the places that didn't experience that trend so my anecdotal evidence is most likely biased. However I would be interested to see a similar survey done for 2017 and 2018 to see how electric bikes

Almost all the big cities I have been to in America have gotten way better with biking infrastructure in the past 10 years. When I went to school in philadelphia I can't remember a single bike lane or any form of infrastructure. Now in

I think cycling advocacy is alive and well, but the gains aren't as dramatic, because now they are incremental improvements to what has already been won. You are seeing miles and miles of shared bike lanes going up all across the US. I

Maybe they can get Netflix working on Linux in addition to trying to use governments to shut down their competition. I _want_ to use brave, but without a fully working browser its hard to switch off firefox.

The alternative path is pretty simple. We decided that we wanted to get out of the traditional interview process that no one on the team felt was all that great. So we came up with a simple plan. If you want a job we will give one to you. F

I think the only special set of circumstances is that they were able to go public and remain independent. At this point most companies get acquired as an exit, but thats not just Open Source companies, thats almost all companies.

The most successful open source company of all time is RedHat. They built their core product 100% open source. I think there is a model out there where you can be open source and still provide a valuable service for customers.

the concerns you raise are so arbitrary and copied word for word from the vanity fair article that was published a few days ago. FWIW Google, and Microsoft have datacenters well more then 150 miles apart. Also ruggedized is a term used all

I have used ansible to manage large production deployments of AWS infrastructure and what I will say is that it is very good at doing it, but it requires a lot of work compared to using something like terraform or cloud formation. Its not h

Would you be willing to share a CF template that is 10x less then the equivelent terraform ? It has been my experience that terraform is much less verbose and much more reuseable via modules. Cloud Formation I have seen has always seems exc

I got a trainer for winter riding, and it ate my tires. Also a good spin bike does a better job at keeping momentum which makes it feel more like a normal ride outside. I think like most things the amount of use really determines what you s

I have been swayed from using the CLI by emacs and magit. There are so many nice things like staging portions of a changeset, and the ability to get a quick visual diff of the changes before they are committed is really really nice. As to w

I just made a similar swap from a 2013 MBP to the X1 and so far I love it. One great thing about the T480 over the X1 is you can push the CPU harder in the T480 due to better cooling. I like the size of the X1 so went with the smaller labto

I have this labtop and have had none of these problems. I am on ubuntu linux with a patched initrd. The trackpad works like a champ, the screen is magnificant and the webcam works great. It does got hot, but only when I am under heavy load.

Once you have patched it it will. I have the X1 running ubuntu with the patched initrd and the lid works perfectly.
