The problem with using a cloud provider is that you still need to know what you're doing. Your application isn't going to magically become HA/DR. You still have to make it that way, from your application design/coding up

As an aside, the docs attached to the repo referenced above has the first good explanation of "joint stereo" I've ever seen. I remember seeing the "joint stereo" button on the first encoders, and nobody ever said w

But even if you'd don't use AWS use something else. Any video encoder service will be cheaper and more reliable than using k8 + your own hacked together docker instance. It's literally not worth it. Do you really want to spen

One thing people pointed out is minimizing egress fees. You do that by using CloudFlare, fastly, or another CDN. You can get bandwidth costs down to < .001/gb by committing to $1500/mo in bandwidth. The CDNs will pull from S3 o

You can use the pharmacy data if the patient gives consent. And since nobody actually reads all that stuff they're probably consenting. Even without consent you can use the anonymized data to do analysis.

Usually it's forced on the backend by the frontend team. Really, it's just more awkward than writing a straight-ahead REST implementation. Also the error-handling semantics gets pushed to the backend, and the frontend team (who ge

Haven't encoded anything with iTunes/Music's mp3 encoder in years, ever since AAC came out. What's amusing is that speakers may have been optimizing themselves for LAME, since it's pretty much the dominant encoder.

All non hipaa services decrypt at the edge. It's more efficient and easier to manage.

If the US was an IMF country it would be way off the reservation. The amount of outstanding debt is massive, and I don't think any of the older models would be able to handle it. If anything, today's environment negates the realit

This is why technical people should not use financial metrics in their decisions. At some point costs drop to near zero. The guy has been responsible for unbelievable amounts of human aggravation.

Fuck K8. You literally don't need it. Maybe he needs it because he's building on google cloud. AWS is easier, but you can do it with anything. The basic steps are: 1. Upload the file somewhere 2. Transcode it 3. Put the parts some

We started off using prisma, but now we only use it to manage our schemas. Migrations fail all the time, so we just do a db push. And yes, we tried to reset our migrations as per the docs. Doesn'tmwork. FYI, if you use findMany it pull

There's a lot of talk about tipping, consumers, etc. Being a Patron (which is what Patreon was trying to do) traditionally meant supporting someone, no matter what their output. If your tortured genius put out one work a year, so be it

How fast are they compared to raw memory throughput? It's interesting that memory mapping is so expensive. I've often wondered the price that everyone pays for multiple address spades. Is isolation really worth it?

One strange thing about the Dewey Decimal System is that it's copyrighted and libraries pay a fee to use it. It came out when the Library Hotel in NYC used some of their notation as their room numbers and were sued. Everyone was WTF?

If you could somehow download the entire archive you could feed it into your LLM for training. This is a huge corpus and is sort of ill-gotten. That said, it would be pretty awesome. Google has this sort of thing already, since they have th

As a note, I wish I had enough space to mirror their library. Looking at this brings out the collector in me...a tendency that I've successfully suppressed. You can only keep so many terabytes of archive around.

It's unclear what exactly the competition is about. Just to poke around the dataset?

I can believe it. There are always the weak minded that'll accidentally rewire their brain in a bad way. I'd suggest shrooms, which are totally different.

Like everything, 20% of the population are responsible for 80% of the crime. That's true in the US, that's true in Europe, Asia, etc. That's even true in healthcare, where 20% of the people make up 80% of the spend. There are

In most data architectures the DB is only the backing store, because no matter how fast your database is it's going to be slower than RAM. Once you start caring about the performance the second thing you do is stick a cache layer of on
