Atlassian started rearchitecturing around services in 2013. They were 1500ppl at the time. Confluence and JIRA were not only monoliths, but non-multitenant, so they had to have one instance per customer (700Mb RAM JIRA, 700Mb Confluence, a

I dislike intranet CAs because they allow your company to intercept and play MITM with every other website you visit (except for certificate-pinned websites)... I'd prefer that Chrome write "insecure" if there's a non-

w3schools has a special DNS entry to prevent access, for me and my interns. Now that I say that, I feel like those bigcorps which prevent access to Facebook.

I'm more concerned about classrooms. In France it's perfectly accepted to keep pupils for 4hrs in a closed classroom (except the break), especially if it's winter, because heaters are half-closed for savings. Now when I lived

Please at least tape it! A nuclear reactor mounted on a gigantic explosive sounds like a stupid idea once you count this risk, but even if we did it, would it be among the most stupid things we did?

Your reasoning about 20-80 doesn't hold. If, say, 20% people are violent and 80% aren't, does that mean you're 80% safe from violence? Of course not. It's exactly what we are talking about: Those 'commies' go w

The trick is, train isn't cheaper that planes. Ecologically, the French TGV isn't considered better than planes in terms of glasshouse gases (i.e. the ecological approach says a km travelled is bad, whether by flight or by train).

Buildings could allow competition several operators and impose a no-access ban to operators who mangle cables. The game is for a set of buildings to associate together, so one Comcast error in one results in a ban in the chain of buildings.
