Tl;DR: don't use RoR in AWS because it will cost you.

If you don't know what you're doing any architecture will be fine. If you don't understand the benefit of xyz then don't do it. Our microservice implementation is great. It scales with no maintenance, and when you have t

Actually, this is wrong depending on the company and what the specific situation is. Look at DEC, a classic engineering company failure. DEC failed because they were led by engineers who didn't understand the market. It apparently was

There are different metrics that people use to say they're the biggest. Some of them off the top of my head are number customers, number of active policies, premium amount, assets under management, time to claim resolution, etc. He&#x2

From a business perspective, each movie is generally its own LLC. So once everything's wrapped up the things need to be disposed, and where those things go is unclear. I mean, storage is forever...but who wants to pay for storage forev

Memories fade. Heck, I totally forgot about a trip I made two weeks ago. At some point you learn to take pictures to evoke memories. The real question is, do you remember the memory or the picture?

So really, is someone in the hierarchy insulting him by allowing the tomb to read "friar" or "father" depending on spacing?

Optimization is hard work because you need to understand how things work to be effective. It's really just debugging and troubleshooting, but with a different goal in mind.

Really, the business side is responsible for sales, investment, and maybe product. But if the business side can't sell or raise money then they're worth;ess

What you're saying is that "creating a tool requires validation, but not creating a tool and winging it doesn't." Which is engineering-speak ridiculous. To debug anything you need a mental model of the thing in question.

Depending on what you need ip2location might fit. They have free versions that are country-level and sell more detailed versions as well. We used them until we moved to fastly, which does iplocation stuff as part of their service.

One problem with live and p2p is latency. What does that mean? The steps to live are pretty simple on the server side (assuming HLS): 1. Stream to your encoder, ideally at a bitrate higher than the transcoded bitrate. 2. Encode and transcod

All our door locks suck, but everyone has a door lock. The goal isn't to make everything impossible to break. The goal is to provide Just Enough security to make things more difficult. Legally speaking, sniffing and decrypting encrypte

In video streaming the client really controls everything...unless you have your own client and customize its behavior. You should see how people try and get HLS to pick a stream. With the default players it's not possible - the client

Nobody who does live streaming should set their gop to 6 seconds. That's way too big. I set ours to 2 seconds, which lets mobile adjust more quickly to their bandwidth limits. And as a note, video segments for live are usually set to n

What's interesting is that the population remained isolated for tens of thousands of years. Generally speaking, people move around and are promiscuous. Staying isolated for that long implies a physical barrier, because cultures general
