My experience was quite the opposite, but it depends very much on the workload. That is, I didn't say the competition was between AWS ASGs and k8s running on EC2, but having already a certain amount of capacity that you want to max out

Another reason to use k8s is the original: When you deploy on physical hardware, not VMs, or have to otherwise optimize maximum utilization out of gear you have. Especially since sometimes Cloud just means hemorrhaging money in comparison t

They become trivial once you stop templating them with text templating engine. They are serialized json objects, the YAML is there just because raw JSON is not user friendly when you need something done quick and dirty or include comments

I believe the original two-space aka semispace collector actually used all of the memory as main memory... then it used a tape as temporary buffer where it wrote "live" objects, and restored from tape again

The other way around. Renderman is the original, BMRT was mostly Renderman compatible.

And it was starting to stupidly lag for those use cases by 2007, because after some point you start care about firewall/router performance too...

Depends on exactly what segment of the graphic market, it seems to me that some segments had quite big Sun presence, and early HDTV had the unlikely straggler-survivor with Symbolics.

Ampere is a bright spot in all of this, indeed. Just considerably late. I remember being bombarded by "ARM servers are going to eat the world" in 2013, but ARM couldn't deliver SBSA in shape that would make it possible and to

It's more a case of selection of optimization parameters and corresponding economy. It's not so much that apple towers over others in design (though they are absolutely no slouches and have wins there) but their design team is in

The fiduciary duty in law is just to not intentionally scam investors. Then turning out not a profit is a risk they took investing and you have no duty to focus on their returns.

It's usable outside Android, it's more that there's "some assembly required" involved - you need essentially a nameserver process which also handles permissions and the main one is pretty much the one in android. Al

Ok, that misreading is on me - in aerospace generally you care to level of molecules, and I've met many people who would love to be just able to brute force it this way. Hypersonics do however end up dealing with simulating subatomic

Subatomic scale is the perfect option, but we tend to not have time for that, so we sample and average and do other things. At least that's the situation within aerospace's hunger for CFD, I figure nuclear has similar approaches.
