One thing that we ran into back in the day was EEC failure on reboot. We had a few Dell servers that ran great for a year or two. We rebooted one for some reason or another and it refused to POST due to an EEC failure. Hauled down to the co

If your database is slow because it's on spinning disks, then a cache will speed up access. That's not a fundamental mistake, and there's very little you can do about that from an efficiency point of view. It's easy to f

Instead of redis etc you could get away with static files served via a cdn. Again, you should test. But the main reason imo for redis is connections and speed, not just speed.

Well, you have to understand what you're testing. With a test like this, you're really testing two different things: 1. How fast your database is, 2. How fast your frontend is Since the query is simple, your frontend is basically

The history of corporations shows that monopoly or oligopoly is the end result without intervention. And even with intervention scale matters. Example: in smaller countries there are multiple cellphone providers that are essentially identic

Ugh, the syntax for CSS is just so crappy. I know like 10-15 different languages, and CSS is by far the hardest to read and understand. It's easier to understand x86 assembly than CSS. CSS is basically pre-tokenized input that drives a

AWS networking is just networking. And it's crazy to me that people deploy in cloud environments without any networking and security knowledge. It's 2025.

When the device is doing nothing it should use no power. The goal is to get to 'doing nothing' as fast as possible. That's a legacy of iPhone. And that's a fundamental philosophical difference between Apple and everyone

Uh, SpaceX isn't funded by the government in the way you state. It has contracts, but development costs are borne by SpaceX.

One thing that would be nice is to enable the video sender to send multiple streams. In MoQ terms, the video source can send multiple subgroups. Why? Because transcoding = latency. Back in the day clients were weak, so transcoding on the se

My daughter, as an intern, created a whole set of prompts for a metal fab that extracted all the metal parts out of a CAD file (or PDF) and dimensions so it's easier for them to bid. Saved them hours of work. Of course, they didn'

The CDC's recommendations align with European health authorities. Why does the AAP feel that the CDC and Europe's guidelines are too conservative?

When the benchmark changes, you should ask 'why.' According TFA the number of people in extreme poverty dropped when using the old IPL value, and went up with the new value. So politically, no NGO wants to say poverty decreased, b

Once you talk about CORBA being any kind of representation of something good you're done. CORBA did pretty much everything wrong, which makes it a great anti-example. Automatic client generation? Fuck that.

Once you know how to build and maintain infrastructure you realize that while it's nice to know how to do it, it's not cost-effective. The thing is, it's worth it to learn. Do you know the basics of how to set up a completely

Optimization can't fix a bad design. You have to design it to perform; optimization speeds up hotspots in the design. But no optimization will make your app scalable or perform well under load. You can throw money at it by scaling vert

Nothing in HIPAA mandates air gaps. In the context of HIPAA that's really overkill. In fact, self-hosting might even do you wrong when things go bad, because AWS is probably better managed and more secure. And they have all their certs

For most consumers their phone has become their primary device, so the big screens make sense. Computer at home? Nope. I have multiple screen with me, so my 13 mini is great.

Could you save even more bandwidth by updating static data and letting Cloudflare cache/serve it? ie: put the batches on disk then have the clients grab it? It would be the equivalent of frame differencing, with the total board state b

Many high-end stores will train their workers to not profile their visitors, because these days that lame-bro in the flip flops might be a crypto billionaire. Plus it's just good practice. Your job as a salesperson in a high-end store
