Everything in that data center is depreciating as soon as they turn on the power. AC, ups, generators not to mention the severs. That's the thing with fiber it was still useful. The cards at either end are easy to add, waaaayyy cheaper

In 2005 telecom was a cash cow because of long distance charges and if your mechanical phone switch was paid off you were printing money (regulations guaranteed revenue) This didn't last that much longer and many places were trying to

At a "telecom of telecom" we (they) were still lighting up dark fiber 15 years later (2015) when mobile data for cell carriers finally created enough demand. Hard to fathom the amount of overbuild. The only difference is fiber opt

This is why EXAMPLES in getting started pages are so important. LLMs are making up for the lack of this. It’s the Backus-Naur approach vs the Human approach. Humans learn by example. IMHO this is why math education (and most software docume

What are “db guys” in this context? There are two distinct job functions. 1) dba - maintain OS, db software/hardware - DBs are complex beasts you want experts setting up hardware or deploying into the clown in a smarter way (virtual ma

95% it’s a missing/improper index but the insane workarounds “engineers” put in place actively work against the database. Does your hotpath query have a covering index? Is it seek-able. Are you predicates SARG-able. Seriously biggest b

A fellow data swamp enjoyer. Just dump it in Hadoop became an anti-pattern and everyone yearned for databases and clean data and not dealing with internal IT and the cluster “admins”.

Wow very indepth. This used to be (and still is in some circles) a hot topic. .net had the benefit of coning second and fixed a lot of java's design issues. It really use a better java. Of course in the days of JavaScript desktop apps

Yes, and then you get the job there and regret it bc they’ll have either have an over engineered Rube Goldberg contraption or they have system envy bc they’ve read about this architecture in blogs and THINK they need K8s and they still fix

Not half the country, not even a majority of voters. However your punt stands. I think a lot of those voted for the racism not the economic collapse.

But it's actually useful for scalability. All modern IO is async. The fact that you get this easy to use API to make an app more scalable is a ridiculously good deal. Now, if you don't really need that, then it just looks like poi

They came with avcertain number of power cores, say 8 but you could start by only licensing 4 and then grow into them. Don't remember the exact specs on this but they were crazy powerful 20 years ago.

AIX on big iron. Used for ex nightly batch processing at banks. Lots of horse power for your on prem needs. Moving this kind of horse power to the cloud would be insanely expensive and complex for the mid size banks relying on these systems
