I think the way to go is a mix of the two. It is covenient for companies to get guaranteed money in advance. As for customer it's way cheaper to start with usage based model. This is because a lot of users are underusing their services

Here in Lithuania we have like 90% of plastic bottles have a deposit logo on them, pretty much all of the soda, beer, water, milk bottles are recycled. Most of the non recycleable bottles are from outside of EU brands, and those are general

But if your service was down for more than what it takes to downscale to minimum scaling back up is not that big of an issue. It was down anyways. Also 24/7 instances exist for a reason, autoscaling is there to handle spikes, not a nor

For anyone looking for cheapest SBC. Best I've found was Orange pi zero at $6.99 for 256mb version. That includes wireless wifi onboard. I'm not affiliated with them in any way. They can be found at their official aliexpress shop.

You can have a look at xeon e5-2670 v2 cpus, they're relatively cheap, around $200 and have 8c/16t so in a double cpu configuration you could have 64 cores with only 4 machines.

If it's a matter of life or death why didn't they have some sort of battery backup. It shouldn't need that much power. Or even additional generator. As well as having moden version as a backup would be viable option. Article

Why would you really need physical machines for linux and windows, you can always virtualize clients and run dual boot mac/windows or single thinkpad with win/linux dual boot. If budget is tight used servers are great value, for e

Most of the designed emails have images which will be blocked by the client(thunderbird), which looks really horrible. So I will have to be very interested to actually allow images to be downloaded.

As I understand it he disabled asserts in places which would certainly fail, like doing system stuff, modifying system state and such, but not actual relevant parts.

You can always have multiple VM's with gpu passthrough, so it's almost like dual boot kind of setup, but you can still run other things on the host. It works pretty well for me, only downside being that you're limited to sing

Yes they can, there is nothing preventing them creating the package. But it shouldn't be a primary way of installing package. If you really need bleeding edge for development you can build it yourself.

That's really good case about upstream packaging. Do we really want yet another android story? I trust maintainer which is volunteering it's time to ensure the package complies with distributions guidelines. With universal package

Yep, that is the reality most of the time. It would be easy if you had a fixed list of features for a project. But they change most of the time throughout the development. You get used to it and start planning accordingly.

As I mostly work on PHP and JS will try to explain how my debugging session usually goes. Most of the bugs are easily reprodusable so for them I just go straight for the file and setup xdebug via PhpStorm. And that almost always gets fixed

I do not agree with your point that you have to pass validation. First of all I don't say that you should leave unclosed tags for browser to figure out. Or doing something crazy to break things. Some of us still have to support older I

If you're going for C10M you can already forget about docker. For performance you really must be as close to the hardware as possible, which possibly means tweaking kernel. Best example I know of squeezing as much as possible out of th

It might even be 20 core processor, because htop actually shows threads and most processors nowadays are 2 threads per core. For example my R710 shows 16 threads while it's only 2x4 real cores.

The test seems to be biased towards Pi's. Firstly because of VM ram, who gives 3GB RAM for 2 core VM? When typical server from 2010 has 72-96GB ram, which would really typically have at least 8GB ram, which would really be quite a diff
