I have also heard the same. An interesting thing to do would be to also be a commercial ISP (i.e., sell to datacenters and businesses). Now that is the traffic all the ISPs want as outgoing traffic goes to such networks. Running a Global CD

True. Should have read the full changelog. Thank you for pointing it out. I'll give it a try. The change is that VLC now supports H.265 hardware decoding on mac. Great that VLC iterates so quickly!

If you are still on Mac, you should check out IINA( https://github.com/lhc70000/iina ). I switched to it when I needed to watch 4k videos on my Macbook and it out-performs VLC. I think VLC's cross-platform compatib

A consequence of the "Kubernetes Effect" is that while distributed systems are easy to build and use, a lot of developers lose sight of the fundamental problems which make distributed systems difficult. For example, the sidecar in

The post is remarkably devoid of any content and just a series of assertions. So, as you said, its the same take rehashed. But apart from that, bitcoin and the concept of cryptocurrency are conceptually not that difficult. And even if they

Not sure why this is being downvoted? The author seems to have faced a problem with the abstraction of these services and has described it. If anyone thinks that is wrong or has an argument supporting it or against it, just point it out. I

I partially agree with the parent. Showing these "connections" without any context and detail is just infuriating and leads to click-bait headlines with no actual purpose served. I don't think they are trying to insult anyone

The parent comments mentions a solution where there can still be different tax regimes like the EU. But, you only pay tax to one place and they take care of splitting. Let the bureaucracy do it's work.

I think he means Anycast routing. Technically, one could run their own nameservers which direct to their own load balancers. Or you could use one of the other DNS providers who provide Anycast support. I think DynDNS does it.

These developments are quite funny. At one point GPUs were just fixed function hardware. As more flexibility was needed for novel applications, programmability was added. Now we are going to back to fixed function units as the calculus has

A major change I see between the cables and connectors you describe is the move from parallel communication to serial communication. This has brought with it a great improvement in speed. I suppose, we could have a large connector with just

Digital Ocean is still a premium provider. I would look at providers like OVH and even cheaper (Treudler, TransIP, RamNode, etc.) For example, an SSD with 2 vCPUs, 8GB RAM and 40GB SSD is 13.49$ per month from OVH.

I agree with your point. Its just that not all consulting or outsourcing is bad. A decade ago, at least in my experience, Chinese products were synonymous with bad quality and were not considered reliable. Nowadays, while those kinds of pro

I don't understand the negativity towards using consultants and off-shoring. Using consultants is a business decision which helps the company hire people for the short term of the project and also offload risk. Not all companies have t
