SRE - Site Reliability Engineer (a term Google came up with that's been adopted elsewhere) Google defined it approximately as what happens when you apply software engineering practices to what was traditionally an operations function.

An SLA of 100% simply means you agree to compensate your customers (as specified, usually with credit) if your service is down at all, nothing more. Also, SRE here but not for Cloudflare -- I've never seen SREs directly involved in ext

Are there places to host an independent bare-metal box where the internet provider for that box is more reliable than cloudflare?

It's useful when you have a large screen with multiple windows that are tiled and dedicated to a single work function. For example a terminal on one side and a browser on the other that's dedicated to specific work. You may then h

I've always liked the definition of making sense to ask what it's like to be something as an indicator of consciousness. For example, you can try to imagine what it's like to be a dog, but it doesn't make much sense to a

This will be obvious to any C programmer, but the macro[1] used throughout the article only "works" on string literals and arrays, not pointers. Also, it will include the null terminator. Probably won't do any harm but quite

Yeah, in an ideal world lichess would get so many donations they'd buy chess.com, make it free, and sponsor the same content creators :)

Each to their own. I find lichess.org's UI and UX vastly superior. And I'm not the GP, but I agree. To expand my thoughts: - The free version is vastly inferior to lichess.org, and it nags you to upgrade at every opportunity. - Th
