WRT detection triangulation based off sound is both effective and wide spread. Search for “shot spotter” in use in many cities in a civillian context. For military threat modeling you may be interested in the human intelligence exploitation

Im confused here. I thought “the shutdown” was wholly due to congress having the sole authority for funding federal bodies. How does that settle with “he will shut the government back down”?

Huh. Nomenclature. FWIW Ive also never heard of A/B being limited to binary or requiring full N sets of resources. I've only seen it as small subsets of traffic that is ramped up to some confidence interval. Similarly two concurre

Youre correct. I didnt catch the distinction when I first skimmed the article and parent comment. Part of it is that my active “canary” tests themselves emit relevant TSD indicative of system performance. The general concept outlined Id lum

For #2 canaries are commonly run against the stable/“production” deployment on some sort of periodic basis. This is used to approximate a customer experience and detect faults in underlying components, intermediate infrastructure, or c

by donavanm 8y ago
A sustainable weekly oncall rota can work with about 6-7 people, as you noted. To answer your question you collapse roles when appropriate. If you really only have 10 people then maybe it’s simply “primary” and “secondary/escalation” c

Amazon was using MongoDB without paying for it. Do you have a citation for that? AGPL is usually not considered business friendly or a corporate "allowed by default" license, even for internal use. Contrary to the headline and a

As the sibling said Most people dont see dwarf fortress as the same “open world explore & build” genre. And the arena style FPS was called out explicitely as an interesting, but different, type of game. “No story” doesnt mean no fun. Bu

Check out some of the critiques for games like No Mans Sky. The short of it is that procedural “story” doesnt really work. You still need writers for engaging content, and that doesnt scale. If you remove written story you get something clo

The issue is that components dont build systems. Sure, maybe that get concrete that tests to 35Mpa. But was the embedded steel reinforcement coated properly, or will it rust? Were the balconies and doors sealed? Did anyone wash grout down t

See sibling. I dont have a problem witb using ssh as transport per se. Its using adhoc/bespoke Shell for introducing change. Its a bit unrelated but I, personally, lean more towards declarative than procedural and highly value intermed

Cloud is irrelevant. Its scope and repeatable results. A decade ago I had these problems with owned facilities, owned hardware, and dedicated internal teams. But it was thousands of hosts, multiple datacenters, and thousands of internal use

I tried to distinguish between SSH the multiplexed secure network channel provider and Secure Shell, the default and overwhelmingly popular use case of SSH. Theyre different, but generally conflated. I have no real problem with the transpor

I dont know if that means they didnt understand it. It reads like they were trying to solve the underlying problems with a different approach. SSH is an awesome tool & capability as a relatively high level network channel. The defacto “

Do you have a NOC or similar dedicated group? Both initial engagement and their escalation path had a ~2 minute response time. Paging oncall team member, vpn connection, etc, takes ~5-10 in my experience. Similarly their incident manager ap

I find their incident management times pretty impressive. 2 minutes to detect & alert, ~2+ minutes response, 10 minutes to initial triage, 15 minutes to internal change control, 17 minutes to escalation & public communication, 19 mi

SFH sellers (and agents) dont seem to have accepted the change yet. No NWMLS data to back it up, but list pricing has stayed roughly at the same crazy high levels of spring 2018. Units are instead sitting for weeks or months. The rare ones
