I'm sorry what ? You should really be free to speak your mind about your employer (or really anything else) at any time. It turns out, employers don't like that and add close in contracts to silence their employees. This happens i

"distributed" doesn't make things more hardware efficient... It literally always make them less efficient. If e.g : mastodon had the same number of users as Twitter it would use 10x the ressources for the same traffic.

GitHub wasn't profitable either when MS aquired it. it was about the same ARR than gitlab is right now. Now if your talking about brand and positioning that's another matter.

That's not the point. It never was the point, it's never been the point of ANY law about ANY duration of the work week. It defines the LEGAL duration of a week's work because that's going to be used for calculating the P

Depends on how the mandate is specified / enforced. But generally speaking : broadband is infrastructure & utility = natural monopoly. Same applies to electric grid & production btw. Way better results to be had this way then f

You can 100% write services with P999 < 20ms in go. Not even trying that hard. Go is entirely suitable for this kind of constraints, I dare say that's go's main target. P99 < 1ms, that's when you're going to want t

The first is empty, pseudo-aspirational, typical early 2000s SV, bordering on caricature hogwash. The 2nd is mature, focused, grounded in reality and is actually what wikimedia does. So yeah #2 100%. But then again I'm not 12.

You're getting downvoted by people who don't know shit / never set foot in a Western europe classroom. This is documented : the role of the USSR in WWII victory was erased from public school programs and constantly downplayed

Because it sort of did in that they provided support for UK and even the USSR that might have tipped the balance, not to mention operations in Africa. But really it's because there was a deliberate and concerted effort to erase the USS

They're not unrelated subjects. A lot of crypto operates much in the same way dark pool finance operates. It's unregulated & opaque. This is prime territory for both scams and other criminal activities.

Because real markets are inefficient. Think of it like a highway : why is there a traffic jam on this highway ? Because there was a slowdown somewhere 20 miles up the line and there is massive inertia in the system. A slowdown somewhere has

I think they use cloud providers in regions where they don't have physical footprints, to offer data locality guarantees. But the testimonial only talks about Dropbox's data lake. So this is not about dropbox's main product s

It's not a stupid question. First of all, none of the GAFA were actually started as Cloud infrastructure providers. So the question is not why isn't Europe creating big Cloud Infrastructure companies, one could argue that the bigg

No it's not obvious. It's actually the #1 problem in Big corporations' governance. If you are a For Profit company with share-holders, you can define performance as money gain by shareholders, i.e financial performance. This

Google did profit massively from kubernetes, moreso than any other big company (Hello Red Hat lol) It was (for better and for worse) the #1 reason to adopt GCP for our main cloud platform, and we're not alone. It's has seen immens
