You run a compute pool, you don't spin up EC2 instances on demand for this kind of application. You scale the pool based on target utilization metrics.

How it runs in the ideal case is different from experience in how it "actually" runs and fails. That's the biggest gap IMHO.

The word Java and "simple development" is just absurd for any real application much less most enterprise applications.

If it auths the application, which it didn't for quite some time. Tavis has found plenty of issues with 1Password and their team has been much more hostile and less responsive.

These are security critical pieces of software. Like, AV, if the password manager makes it easier to compromise your access in bulk, that's a very very bad thing. This doesn't need to be targeted, just throw some JS into an ad and

The balance of the power is with the rightsholder. They own the content that Netflix wants to sell and that people want to watch.

That's a pretty radical claim to make based on one data point without specifying the parameters you used or any other context.

He's testing performance with cheap laptops and blaming the adapter? Pushing data isn't free. If you have a bad CPU or memory architecture or even bad drivers, you're not going to get network rated speeds. This has been true

Understanding the importance and impact of pivot points in long term penetration seems to undermine "it's internal so it doesn't matter". Not that you're alone in that view but the "hard crunchy shell, soft che

They're making the important point that what people really mean is "laws I agree or don't agree with" not "laws". Hopefully not only on HN do people have reflective capacity to see this.

So, saying the bar's closed would be ethically unacceptable but just saying you're not allowed in isn't? I'm afraid I don't agree with this being a clear ethical distinction.

Not OP, but I think the perception is that Mesos requires you to roll a lot more of the solution yourself. That's fine if you're a large company who can throw hundreds of developers at your platform, less so if you've got 5 o

They have a PR problem because they break interfaces in minor releases and have actively pushed back on criticism for doing so as "they need to be agile" and "can't be boxed in by competitors".

Decoupled failure modes, unless you think there's a global "fail all docker data stores".

Deploying this at global scale was more than just changing some config and walking away. I'm sure things went wrong, changes had to be rolled back, lessons were learned. "just include the code", seriously, do you even deploy

People have "monologues" on IM all the time. I'm sure FB has the data from Messenger and WhatsApp, what the aggregate exposure in message volume is at any time. I do not have that data but I suspect it's "a lot&quot

Sorry, but this is wrong. Closed captions may include non-speech audio as text for hearing impaired which subtitles will assume just speech translation not things like "[wind noise]".

No, you're right on. If others want to work on something, that's up to them. Tell them they're doing it wrong is toxic.
