Why should there be an assumption of (full) objectivity on an article written by one provider of the 3 technologies that are being compared? Whit that said the article is fairly balanced in presenting some layers of the whole context (mostl

Anything that's related to profits and democratized will attract all kinds of characters. Democratization lowers the barrier and profits provide the incentive. The choice to corner cryptocurrencies and choose to see the shady characte

The goal of the article is to get distributed systems engineers excited about blockchain and invite them to explore positions at Paxos. Ironically none of the open positions are actually for distributed systems engineers :) I think it'

This is why Open Governance is just as if not more important than the actual OSS License. Foundations such as the ASF can protect from these situations https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html

Richard McElreath has some nice points about variable independence assumptions. Concretely, for a model this assumption represents the state of "ignorance" and is the most conservative choice (i.e. doesn't assume any correlat

That's the big question I have too. I think typically it's I/O in one form or another. With GPUs sending data to the GPU seems to be another cost in the path. However if you consider the GPU part as a way to push down proce

Both nix and guix seem to have potential. Not sure if they are the "silver-bullet" (in the good sense of actually nailing a hard problem well) but perhaps. IMO they are a bit too (local) package oriented than necessary.

No, in 8th grade the teachers (and parents) are not that concerned that you you're not qualified for a job. They just need to make sure that you are able and willing to study by assessing your last (and first) 8 years of school. At min

Wow! Watch starting from 1:07 in slow motion (0.25) and as it goes you can see (I believe) the shockwave expanding starting at ~1:11 the ground gets gradually lighter colored and when it reaches the camera it shakes it.

Of course programmers are not engineers. Nor are space shuttles controlled by software, nor nuclear missiles, x-ray machines, planes, drones or self driving cars. Nope that's all pure engineering. Zero software. And of course engineer

When the overall quality / delivery metric of an individual / team tends to 0, then the ratio between a good (normal) programmer over that will tend to infinity. Probably the biggest aspect not dealt with in these writings along w

I think Docker was and still is a great way to popularize the concept of containers along with the smarter tooling around it, like resource schedulers. By the time we adopted Docker (because it was popular and realized it's a good veh

Can that speed be adjusted to a theoretical value based on latest propulsion systems? What would that be now and how would it likely evolve over then next decades?

Oracle will become the new SCO :) That said, the article is a bit fuzzy. For example, if you want to use Flight Recorder you have to explicitly enable commercial features UnlockCommercialFeatures. This is however free for non-production use

if latency spikes affect the overall performance, it seems more that CephFS may have a design problem (global FS journal) rather than this being a cloud problem. However perhaps they shouldn't try to run Ceph in the first place. Azure

That's a bit Cocky, considering the amount of knowledge and effort google has behind AI, quantum computing and others. But I guess the main point of the article was not that, but the Bubble plug.

That's only if you compare raw compute. When you create a VM on AWS it will get <10% utilization (many times close to 1%). Sometimes you need to factor in for varying utilization so you need to overprovision but if you have many ser
