I'm not sure I understand this. Why can't you just increase buffer sizes and write more data to them to avoid frequency of wake ups? Edit: does this help? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/

I found this "blog post masquerading as a white paper" quite insightful. I would recommend to start reading at "2. HOW CAN WE MAKE PROGRESS?". The way the authors breaks security down into a "hierarchy" of 3 di

Where do you draw the line with co-routines in that mental model? Languages like Erlang/Elixir built on BEAM are one approach to solving this problem of "synchronous programs calling components with varying scaling needs". It

Did you read the article? The author builds a very interesting mental model for reasoning about what purpose each provides. Basically, as you are alluding to, the choice between Monoliths and Microservices is a false dichotomy. By analyzing

Going to give this a deep dive. Thank you. Super curious how it works after reading the intro page!

Super awesome write up -- thank you! Honestly I have been thinking about this problem for a few years now but not as succinctly as you have described it here. That's really helpful to split it down the line like that. It's very ha

If anybody wants to chat about how to harden production systems, let's talk. That's a huge focus for what I have in my head to fix right now. (Founder of a YC startup) Lambda helps but is limited. Dealing with existing code is har

They apparently buy up any competition to keep the market small. There have been other similar tech promised by startups but they buy them up. Pretty interesting! Infuriating too, of course. But the system is what it is. I'm surprised

I came here to write this comment. I use this feature often and, like the sibling comment, it has saved my butt a ton! I love JetBrains IDE with Vim bindings

Slightly more specific: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory?wprov=sfti1 Go to "Writing and erasing". It links to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_injection?wprov=sfti1

It depends. Because NAND flash storage relies on electron tunneling, you actually need high temps for the mechanism to work well. Too much cooling and you'd be increasing the wear levels prematurely. Not sure if this thing is smart eno

Thanks for sharing this. I loved using XNA for many years!

Agreed! No silver bullet. AWS is able to extract value regardless of the license being used.

I think the "war chest" argument here is that AWS can out compete any other hosting solution by "slowly burning" their way to the top. AWS is a conglomerate and can afford to lose money on a single service. Companies lik

This comment is really insightful. Thank you for the perspective! It's an interesting idea to think that "Free Software" creates a sort of "distributed code base". In the sense that "code will be eventually pus

I think a good example company to answer this question would be: What happened to RethinkDB? They shuttered. How has development changed for that project? Is it still alive and healthy? That would be a single data point to start with, at le

Maybe there is a middle ground for companies to use SSPL/BSL with a "profit sharing" clause or similar. It's still not "open source" in the traditional sense. But it could be a "win/win" scenario

AGPL also harms adoption at companies because of the "invasive" nature of the license. Google, for example, bans the use of any AGPL software. It's too vague for the legal team to confidently understand the "bounds"

Thank you for the thoughts! I really should sit down and record a video. I'll figure out how to get that put together soon :)

Do you have any plans to open source this? I'm thinking about lock-in -- what if you suddenly deprecated the product? Will my deploys suddenly break? Are you planning to maintain 1:1 feature parity with Serverless/CDK long-term? C

Thank you for the details! That's super neat to know about. Going to keep this in the back of my mind for the future. I just moved into a place with a garage :) I'll have to search for a way to run 3 phase power out of residential

How much would these machines have cost when they were new? Just trying to get an understanding of the price break vs the "risk" with older equipment. Time goes on and I imagine the motors + other mechanical components improve. Bu

We don't see all of the countless hours spent by mods like dang to keep the quality high. It's a thankless job most of the time!

Mind expanding on this a bit more? What is that that limit and how does it relate to the clock speed?

The work is already being put in with modern NUMA (non-uniform memory access) systems to pin apps to specific cores. This seems like it would overlap if this ended up being used in production.

I bought ECC RAM for my laptop and it definitely was about 4x the price. It's valuable to me for a few reasons -- peace of mind being a big one. Bit flips happen and are real. I really wish ECC was plentiful and not brutally expensive!

I don't really have any distance issues seeing. I'm technically slightly farsighted. What I do have is an astigmatism. Getting glasses (it was free with my work insurance) made a huge difference in my ability to stare at the scree
