It's interesting to me that all the screenshots besides the HN one appear to be from mobile devices?

It's pretty disappointing that this video alludes to, but does not cover performance curves for condensing dehumidifiers. Even when they don't freeze over, condensing dehumidifiers rapidly lose efficiency at lower temperature and&

"cook longer" at the same temperature is my original example (though admittedly I was thinking that cook temp would be another variable, but I didn't write that): > now we know that I could simply keep cooking the meat f

by flaminHotSpeedo 1y ago
Yes, my example is unrealistic when you apply your own unrealistic constraints on top of it. But when you remove your unrealistic constraints, it is absolutely realistic. There is a wide temperature band where a cut of meat will reach a giv

That depends on the heat applied. Which brings up another good counterexample: knowing this, someone could cook longer at a lower temp to get a juicer edge for the same juiciness center.

by flaminHotSpeedo 1y ago
The article categorically refutes the idea that resting is important for juiciness but that's not the same as saying resting will not improve juice retention. Proof that a relationship once though to be causal is not is a pretty big de

One of the core pieces of static stability (at least in one definition, it's an overloaded term) is being able to handle failure scenarios from a steady state. The classic example is overprovisioning so that you can handle the extra zo

AWS regions are fundamentally different from GCP regions. GCP marketing tries really hard to make it seem otherwise, or that GCP has all the advantages of AWS regions plus the advantages of their approach, which means heavily on "effec

I think the most damning thing here is the "what's our approach moving forward" section: Every single bullet point there is basic stuff you expect a cloud provider to do correctly damn near every time. If you're not pa

To some extent, yes, strong leadership can squash engineering culture. But if engineers never push back, how is leadership supposed to know they're asking for dangerous things? For most engineers, that means explaining risks and/o

You can't pin this entirely on leadership, allowing global blast radius deployments without an extreme level of scrutiny is a failure of engineering culture. At the very least the global policy should have been deployed prior to the re

This is really only a problem on GCP, who treats regions far differently from other providers. From a resilience perspective, it's best to treat GCP as a single region with a bunch of zones.

I think the only interesting & substantive piece of info here is that AWS will sometimes waive DTO fees. (For once I'm actually thankful for GDPR!) Their claimed savings are suspect, borderline clickbait, and even if they are corre

Unmanaged VM's created directly by customers still aren't relevant to this discussion. The whole point here is that everyone else uses some form of hardware assisted isolation between tenants, even in managed services that vend co

by flaminHotSpeedo 2y ago
How Azure isolates VM's is completely unrelated, because containers are not VM's . And if you meant to assert that Azure uses hardware assisted isolation between tenants in general, that was not the case for azurescape [1] or cha

I think the more interesting part here (besides the fact that AWS SLA's sneakily screw you over and make it hard to guarantee static stability) is the remediation aspect. This is a consistent letdown across most AWS products; they buil

More likely Tencent will own the land and physical infrastructure but it will still be Akamai software operated by Akamai employees.
