Where people still follow old SysAdmin vs Dev silos. If you have follow checklists, open tickets, follow up on slack you are not really working on a platform, thus not a platform engineer either.

At scale every tiny bit helps. Especially now that Edge computing is becoming a reality, it's much better to pull and run a 1MB container image than a 100MB one on limited hardware and bandwidth

Buildpacks have been in the industry for many years (thanks to cloud foundry) but it doesn't really scale. For simple things, sure they are good enough but more often than not you want to your application to be packed in a special way

The prometheus scaling problem is a real one. It stems from the "scrape everything" mantra that everyone in prometheus community follows, we should be rather opting-in on which metrics are useful and drop everything by default. We

We can't keep supporting old tech in new world. 2G and 3G is already two decades old, we gotta move on. And I am not talking about killing SMS. 2G/3G will still support SMS, only 4G/5G has to adopt to RCS and use SMS as fallb

The teleco stack will switch to IP based completely with 5G, makes no sense to keep RCS in old circuit-switched based SMS. Soon no data will mean no calls/text/anything since data will be all that telecos will provide

No option for RCS? It's a true successor to SMS and you can switch providers without losing anyone in your contacts. Although I am not really sure how easy it will be to switch clients and use something 3rd party

If you are into cloud - the merge of telecom and cloud computing. More vertical integration in in the internet, telecom companies will start competing with AWS or AWS will become a telecom operator. Latency sensitivity will be a substantial

Even if it does, I don't see how they can lock them in just their version of "app store". If it takes off, I can see GCP, Azure and others offering similar deals too.

What about AMD though? They are at par with M1 but use a lot more power while doing so. I don't think it's an Intel problem, it's an x86 problem

Yeah I mean the cost can be argued about but buying individual games is going to be a thing of the past is what I am saying.

It's the same argument as buying digital copies of your Music via iTunes or something vs Spotify. And we all know who won. The convenience of streaming games is too hard to give up

by harpratap 6y ago
Not sure which awesome company you work at, but in most organizations infra is a cost center, and thus the decisions related to it are mostly done by managers, not developers. And this is why AWS sells and not Heroku.

Cloud Run is basically Custom Resource on top of Kubernetes API. The yaml definition is pretty much the same - https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/deploying#yaml What you mean is probably without vanilla k8s

Firstly, single core scores aren't the be all end all of a CPU. Secondly, Kirin 9000 gets 3700 multi core vs 4000 A14, so quite close to that of Apple with a year old A77 cortex. ARM tried making their chips larger with X1 and it resul

I am not really a knowledgeable person when it comes to CPUs, I just follow what Anandtech posts. And reading his comments on X1 it looks like ARM (and thus Qualcomm) are just being too conservative because there was really no business need
