Like I said, even if the instance is "alive", if it's not currently handling a request it's CPU is throttled to nothing so you can't trust any background process will finish its work.

When an instance isn't handling a request it either gets killed almost immediately, or if even if you have min idle instances configured, its CPU get's throttled to nothing. So you can't have goroutines or some such doing any

Seems they're still having problems with their headless tanks given it looked like the 2nd raptor landing fire flamed out immediately, even earlier than the previous flight. I thought they had switched to using COPVs but that either ma

Users on r/WallStreetBets have rallied around buying stocks, like GameStop ($GME), that are heavily shorted by the market (generally by larger trading firms). This buying has driven the stock prices up very very quickly, because of the

I’ve built an api gateway in go at my last company and my current one, so I’m actually a fan of the pattern. Usually the decision revolves around complex auth and permissioning rules that already exist in go, and would be a pain to rewrite.

I’d go even a step further and say FAANG companies, despite what their tech blogs might argue, aren’t at all immune from making very dumb decisions or adopting very silly practices. To follow those same ideas blindly could cripple your comp

My Sony a6500 has been perfectly fine with my macbook since Sony released the new drivers. I haven't noticed any latency and love getting compliments from zoom peeps on the non-AI blur I get with my 16mm f1.4 lens.

Pretty much every time I’ve pulled out a channel in Go I end up rewriting it to just use a mutex, or even easier, write to individual indices in a slice.

Hi Kelsey! Appreciate your take here. You obviously have deeper insight than I do. Honestly I'm in favor of the path I described. Engineers I work with spend too much time already arguing the best platform for any given service, especi

For comparison I’ve been using Go and a distroless container image and never had any problems. However you can set the minimum instance count now. That feature was opened up for Cloud Run managed a few weeks ago.

I’ve been using GCP full time since 2015 and I expect Google to deprecate AppEngine and Functions in favor of Cloud Run almost any day now.

It sounds like you're not really for decreasing people's trouble with the justice system if you're going to dismiss them all as just stupid and lazy.

My joke around the office is some people optimize for latency, some for throughput, some for memory usage. I, however, optimize for sleep. My entire goal is for my services to never wake me up. And if they do it had better because I clearly

Commercial flights will also enter a circular holding pattern around airports if they're not allowed to land for some reason. This video is a really cool example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdfVIdsufI8

You can now deploy apps on Cloud Run to different regions and use Google's HTTPS Load Balancer to traffic them with a serverless endpoint group.

GCS seems like overkill, not sure why the op went that route. You can just store the encrypted secrets in the code and decrypt them with kms at start up.

The Times has actually been very progressive about WFH policies. Partially because they've been consolidating the number of floors they occupy at 620 8th Ave, so there's legitimately less room for everyone. But every team was desi
