Mostly would be bug reports I would like to see instead stay open, but depending on volume that doesn't scale.

Yep, it's such a shame. Internode was great. Now that goes to AussieBroadband, their employees are great and their communication via whingepool is great. We'll see how being public keeps this up..

I have FTTP, so I get ~1ms-2ms to my ISP.

Yes. It's all well and good having gigabit+ connections, but latency is the killer. Here in Perth, Western Australia we are very far from everything. In the 90s/early 2000's our routing and latency was pretty terrible, especi

I'm really happy with Meson, as a lot of Wayland (the new display protocol for Linux, the "successor" of X11) apps seem to be built in C, so using meson is super simple and I don't have to worry about tooling (I don&#x2

And they also have some of the absolute garbage software surrounding it. It's bananas for a company the size of Adobe to have such bad software.

For Elixir, I really like it for webapps and services. - Ecto (data mapping) is fantastic, really glad they separated the SQL part - Oban is fantastic (job processing) - Liveview is really good. (frontend framework that uses websockets to b

Best experience I had with GraphQL was a B2B app where we had a fair amount of users, as well as the "backoffice" app also powered by GraphQL. Bad users we could just ban (the user base were great folks but could barely operate a

I think it's more the inflammatory comments that systemd seems to bring.

Yeah, with a 9+ year old server, i wouldn't trust those disks, plus the amount of power...

It's my fun fact when people ask about my timezone! I live in Perth, and then we talk about this, it's a good little icebreaker if meeting them for the first time :).

Once everything gets wheels/bumped, it'll be a lot easier. The last few major versions have been fairly straight forward to upgrade once they're all in place, and the nice thing is this should hopefully fix any remaining pack

Not sure if this is considered "blog spam", just saw it popup in my news feed. Happy for the URL to change to something else? NVIDIA is probably only making this move because they probably aren't moving enough cards...

Would the refresh rate not be an issue for this?

Early adopter tax. DDR5, PCIE5, new CPU design was never going to be cheap for the first iteration.

Biggest jump would be AVX512 support on the newer CPUs. Still so surprised how much faster the Ryzen 5000 series was, and now the 7000 series and Intel's offerings are absolutely crazy. PCIE5 and gobs of RAM is a data nerds dream.

Popular language of the moment. Rust, Go, Elixir. :) Next few months will be "built X with Zig" with hundreds of upvotes.

Isn't tiktok owned by ByteDance, which is a Chinese company (with an ownership percent by the Gov), so they would be hiring in CN? :-)
140.
by thejosh 4y ago
I think the reason why Tiktok is so high on the list is they do an ABSURD amount of DNS requests. I think each video chunk is on a different subdomain... It's also interesting because their push notifications or background service or w

Funny enough, this is why I switched to Linux. In 2006 I was playing too many games (MMOs..) and not doing enough study at my course (was 16 at the time enrolled in an education you can go to after year 10 called TAFE here in Australia). Ha

Lol, considering how many just use AWS or use Firestore or a myriad of other vendor lock in solutions for everything, sadly no-one really cares about lock in anymore.

Yes. There needs to be a competition or we'll go back to the days of Intel just stalling. It's why I want Intel Arc to be decent, there needs to be more players in the GPU space.

AMD has worked to make sure that everything lines up for this release with the tools people use. Their Ryzen Master (pretty good tool for tweaking ryzen settings) got a bit of a rework for zen4 as well.

That's what version pinning and semver is for. If I install 1.2.3 in 2018, and the software is now 4.5.6, I don't expect it to work without updates. In regards to the second case, bet that's Python with the wheels situation,

qsv is a fork of this, as qsv is pretty much unmaintained now (I don't mean to sound negative, BurntSushi did an AMAZING job and I love the work they did).

Pricing. We run our stuff on ARM on Graviton3 (company policy for AWS) and the performance is decent.

Yeah the BOM website has also been the same design for so long and is great. Example forecast: http://www.bom.gov.au/wa/forecasts/perth.shtml Observations: http://www.bom.gov.au/wa/observation

Excel is a really good tool though that unlocks so much for the users. What it turns into is another story though :-).
