Because it would tear down the entire stack? If you're a real business, depending on servers to be up and data to stick around, then it makes absolutely no sense to have machines shut off and volumes deleted if you hit some arbitrary

The idea of straddling two separate data centers seems far more complex, cost-wise, and time-wise, than simply going with AWS and using their flavor of elasticity. Given that his hosting costs are half a percent of his yearly revenue, &quo

If I had to guess, I'd say this got posted because of the relevance next to the other posts about multiplexing SSH/HTTP over a single connection.

We do this at my current company. The tiebreaker stuff is slightly different, and every candidate that gets a vote of confidence actually ends up chatting briefly with our CEO as the very last bit, which is more of a cultural fit thing tha

Did you have some implicit expectation that you could heat it for an arbitrary amount of time, at full power, and it would just be fine? Almost all of the spot checking I just did shows temperature warnings / upper limits of around 45

So what's your suggestion here? It sounds like this person feels more proficient, more on-the-ball, writing Go. So, you call them ignorant (incredibly ignorant, at that) because they're not using a language with exceptions or pat

That's making an assumption that they will send back the A/AAAA records. Empirically, you might be right, but it's a recommendation, not a requirement, in RFC2782. (Not sure if there's an RFC that supercedes that parti

You make a valid point, but that relies on systems asking for all records on an RR. If a DNS server decides to send along A records with a SRV request, it's likely those A records won't be cached[1], and thus you'd have to m

(I'm responding inline, and I'm not looking at all the aforementioned posts/comments, so forgive me if I'm missing something here.) It sounds like you're arguing that SRV records are no slower than A records, which,

But his point, at least the way it comes across to me, is that the IETF simply jumped on the bandwagon of SPDY and fast tracked turning it into HTTP/2.0. Precisely the thing that you wouldn't expect a standards committee to do, b

I'm not arguing that it's nine syllables, just saying that it's most likely an accent / speed of speech thing as far as the author's six-vs-four thing goes.

I think it's an accent thing. When I say WWW at normal speed, it sounds more like dubble-u dubble-u dubble-u. American, east coast USA.

While the technical validity/integrity of HTTP/2.0 is certainly up for debate, there's a bigger issue here, and phk certainly isn't the first to talk about: the rush by the IETF to basically polish SPDY into HTTP/2.

From the responses given to your linked comments, it seems like there was a technically valid reason not to use them: performance You just kept pushing that it wasn't a good enough reason. Are you just going to keep posting and askin

Ignoring the rhetoric for a second, are there examples of these design decisions being asked about and being dismissed or flat-out not answered? Most of us have seen the back and forth over generics in Go, including Rob Pike's own blog

This has been covered and mentioned way before me, but there are in fact tactics and techniques that can (and should) be used to attempt to de-escalate situations before they get to the point of active rioting. Specifically, the Army (I bel

It's a router at the application level. So a request comes into the multiplexer, and you have your routes: /app goes to the app controller, /faq goes to the FAQ controller, etc. Then there's binding parameters from par

(full disclosure: I'm seasoned with Go and haven't used Scala past playing with it in a REPL) I would argue that Go is far more readable, and simpler to grok, than Scala, and that's without adding Akka on top of it. That&#x2

I'd beg to differ, strictly from a gut instinct, that all of those are under-represented by men. My gut is also telling me this is a troll, though.
