This is an interesting post but the author seems to have a bit of ignorance/bias to the bsd libc that led them down a particular path. It's not difficult to pull the libc out of src, start with a minimal make copypasta, and keep

My own experience is the majority of people are using it on their own cloud instances, on prem, or embedded. It's not obvious the first-party aaS will catch on right now, just like the novel license. I don't mean any of this neg

I think you are being a bit generous on the causes and effects. The #1 concern of a product like this is adoption. Not in some unsustainable subsidized taxi or food delivery type thing, just that data stores are naturally sticky and come

VCs and developer marketing have created a cottage industry around maximizing operational complexity.

ack. I disagree that pointing out juxtapositions is name calling but understand the meta intentions.

It teaches readers not to trust a brand's PR jobs and brands to not mislead. Comedy is intricate, and yes I find the situation having to perform at higher standards than a $2B company in opining on here during my lunch break to be qui

It's a hybrid meaning it may struggle in direct competition with pure loss based algorithms. CUBIC, the Linux default, is somewhat notorious in causing bloat issues but these things tend to play out like an arms race. BBR is another

It's just marketing bullshit, I don't feel bad at all for offering damning criticism. Companies hire people to do this kind of stuff on purpose. Many unfortunate software trends of the last decade have been started by equally fli

Cloudflare and Fastly are in somewhat different industries even though they can do some similar things. Fastly has a small number of large customers, Cloudflare has an astronomical number of customers which makes what they do even harder.

Just pertinent to this article, take a look at the links to their QUIC implementation. The reason I bring this up is because it's pretty easy to make a simplified fast path TCP stack that doesn't have all the branch heavy code ne

Their implementation of congestion control (reno) is 85 lines including a big copyright block comment. That's cute but it's completely incomparable to the transmission intelligence in the Linux TCP stack, especially for the line

Did you like.. actually read my comment? Poorly run companies want the equivalent of a Scala dev with 30 years of Scala experience. It doesn't work like that. Computer systems and PLs aren't that hard to pick up.

I've never really heard this from anyone that is actually technical. I think people with actual technical skills and joy would be quite impressed by mainframe systems. The issue for management is you can't copy someone else'

It only takes a few minutes to transfer funds to extant facilities and ensure the workers are justly compensated for their risk and extended hours.

Great study in marketing. Not good at all as a lubricant nor anti-seize, and probably shouldn't be the most ubiquitous thing people own for those general use cases but it is. A light machine oil for cleaning and preserving tools and

The same process tech is used on POWER9, and a lot of the physical design is shared between z and p, so this eDRAM is pretty mainstream in POWER. OpenCAPI seems like it will provide almost as fast (latency) as an on die controller with DDR4

Existence doesn't mean much in times of quantitative easing; pick your favorite punching bag company in recent memory that is still extant. If you don't understand the economic situation backing all this it's hard to discuss

I would love to. See Dan Luu's big company pay statistics. Want to fund me to ignore that? I don't think anyone would (aka bubble, value creation detached from valuation). I'll just save what I can, try not to rock the bo

Well thought out response, that is my gut feeling as well. I think packaging could have a larger than expected effect too, especially CPUs with a thermal cap. This kind of in situ measurement might be useful to feed into a job scheduler&#x
