I don't know about the rest of the eurozone, but as a Spaniard I must say that I do think we would have been better off without the euro. The euro gave us the gun to shoot ourselves in the foot, and we have done plenty of stupid thin

As far as I understand, the less involved method is: Consul: your calling webservice uses a DNS name served by consul. Consul responds with a pool of working servers. As soon as one fails, consul doesn't include its address anymore, an

I understand your points and mostly agree with them, but there are valid situational counter-arguments for them too: 1) Except when you don't have the money. Not everyone trying to build a business goes the funded startup route... 2) E

They only have to admin the DNSSEC stuff (publish your domain name keys along with your nameservers, as you set them up through your regular domain provider). The DANE part needs no further support than you being able to use DNSSEC for your

To me this seems to be exactly what constraint programming is about. Think prolog: you define the relationships (edges in this computation graph), instantiate some values and then ask the solver to fill the rest. Is there anything fundament

You are missing part of the story. If scaling is just "using more resources" then I can scale infinitely. I can run "while true" on as many hosts as you want. What I'm trying to point out here is that scaling is abo

The scaling part is generally about running and managing multiple containers on multiple machines. In that sense, the advantage of going from virtualization to containerization is the same as going from bare-metal to virtualization: better

DNS-level solutions are oftentimes misunderstood, probably because there are a couple of things that can be done at this level: 1. "Geo-DNS" is about using an anycast network to direct users to their nearest datacenter(s). This do

One of the main caveats of MATLAB can be better understood by trying to concatenate a few strings (something you sometimes must do to output stuff). You look around and find the strcat function. Nice, this thing should just concatenate what
