Stop being so adverserial. Parent hasn't stated any pro-brexit sentiment so just assume they're arguing in good faith. The whole idea of the EU is that all nations in it are subservient to the commission. We like it that way becau

There are consumer 10gbit switches now, though they are on the pricy side at around $400. I bought 3 of them for our datacenter and 2 of them broke within 2 years, so I definitely regret buying consumer grade for our operations but professi

I'm not ignoring anything, I'm explicitly not comparing it to consumer hardware in the first line of my comment.

I wonder why it's so expensive, I know it should be higher than regular consumers expect because it's a low volume high quality product, but so is the OP-1 and that seems to have a lot more manufacturing overhead. Wouldn't th

It's not about making the probability of an error zero, it's about making sure you can recover from every type of error effectively. They've underbudgeted for engineering, and they're feeling that now.

Electric cars don't have enough area for solar power, and planes have even less.

You could encase it in glass under a vacuum or in some inert gas.

If you point concentrated solar at a vantablack object, heatsinked to this 40% efficient TPV, do you get an easy 39.94% efficiency, easily outpacing mass produced photovoltaic or am I missing a loss?

Jup! We run Kubernetes in our own little on premise two racks as well. We use microk8s it was really easy to set up. Jup I've only worked at startups the past decade and never had a mature system administration team so yeah learning th

It's not Ruby itself that has features being deprecated/broken all the time, it's the libraries they're using that are changing. If you built an app targeting Ruby 1.8.7 (~15 yrs old now?) with maybe rack and sinatra as

Maybe, but then they're confounding goals. My company isn't web scale, but we still kubernetes-all-the-things, we run two Kubernetes clusters, soon three. One on premise in a "rando datacenter" running both boring old pr

You've got the wrong impression of what is "boring" tech. A setup out of a rack in a rando datacenter isn't boring, it's frustrating. Saying doing things the old way is boring, is like saying sending your wife out t

By the entire industry. There simply doesn't exist a chip that does the things a raspberry pi needs, that is free of proprietary software.

There's no maths in your article. I don't get how you can write an article about the impact of climate change policy without maths. > Suppose all of the world’s cement plant operators agreed to offset their emissions this way.

I did earwax for a couple years, but after a while it started to gum up my ear canals and I'd have to clean them, and my canals got irritated every once in a while. I switched to silicone now, they're about as good and none of the

It's only the obvious solution in the sense that it's not really a solution but it comes close enough that memory often doesn't leak fast enough for it to matter for short running programs. A drop in garbage collector (like B

To be fair I hadn't verified it was still true when I wrote the message, and I'll admit all I've seen recently is reference counted languages. It was definitely true when I was exploring C garbage collector options for my pro

I think it's not so much the lack of good research being done, but the lack of real world application of that research. And furthermore the real applicable research wasn't really theoretical research but more lessons learned by en

Not to give any credence to Wolfram's theories, I'm wholly unqualified, but why not? Mathematics extends all the way into algorithms and complexity. We have already established that for example machine learning could lead to new m

At my previous job we ran a bare metal cluster at Hetzner, and monitoring the hardware was quite an intensive task. Always monitoring hard drives network bottlenecks, CPU usage, etc. This was before K8s, so it might not be comparable to tod

Why did you feel IBM is best when you only use K8S? Our platform fully K8S and I'm looking to somewhere where we get more performance per buck, probably not IBM but I'm surprised it's even in the list. Do they have an extra n

That's only true if CPU is the bottleneck, which is why I asked. I would expect network throughput to be the bottleneck, but maybe that's wrong nowadays with cheap 200gbit nics.

by tinco 5y ago
Was CPU a bottleneck for your throughput, or did you just want some more headroom on those machines? I've been in the room with some web scale companies, but never was aware of any big excess TLS termination costs, but maybe I just did

They laughed at Mixer exactly because it would shut down within a year. Companies like Google and Microsoft don't have enough staying power. Why would users switch to a platform that's going to shutdown within a year anyway? One y
