My employer has locations all over the world and provide services to our customers. Some of these are AWS customers as well and depends on a small edge compute that they control and knows is compliant with this and that. For them Snowcone i

"Teams-meeting" has become the norm for video-conference. One of my annoying pet peeves is pointing this out and calling it "meeting on Teams" - if that's where it is. Since I use up to 5 different platforms each da

The thing is, at least in Norway, less people than normal have died since COVID-19... So there is no excess.

Was quoted a minimum of $10k/month per region. On top of hardware and VMware licenses. Insane.

This might be different in various countries, but in general companies cannot play games with depreciation. The financial audit is done according to certain rules and common practices. In reality some of these investments might be hard to p

The painful fact is that it does include the leap seconds before January 6th 1980. Makes it messy to convert between UTC and GPS time. I think all the online converters I found a couple of years ago failed to get this right.

I run my own, but from time to time large blocks of IP space on Digital Ocean seems to get put into some blacklist. My solution was to use a fallback delivery through SendGrid and their free tier (happens rare enough, and my volume is low).

Jammers are cheap and since a lot of expensive gear has GPS tracking these days, thieves are using simple jammers you plug into the cigarette outlet in cars. This is increasingly becoming a larger problem since they jam a relatively large a

In Perl there is a framework called Mojolicious that has an OpenAPI plugin that does not use a code generator. I find it extremely elegant as it uses annotations in the spec to route the endpoints to the desired controller method. We often

Odd statement. Works like a charm for us with AD backed SSO on GitLab.

No FCC license unless you do, so yeah - it's accounted for. Unless they want to operate entirely without US downlinks. I do ground stations for a living.

It requires a very savvy developer in order to succeed. I have seen the massive technical debt this approach can give.

We buy support. I dislike Open Core as it tends to be unclear where features go in the future, and the pricing is usually insane. At my workplace we need to be on-prem so SaaS is out. We often pay for support we don't really need, in o

If you are thinking about Perl, then take a look at Mojolicious. An amazing framework to work with that covers so many common use cases with async and functional programming style. I find that the code becomes very precise and readable.

Nitpick: They are not subsidized, but tax exempt. On the flip side, fossil fueled cars are heavily taxed. And I mean heavily .

Sometimes you need an interim solution. A decent organization will be able to manage them by replacing them with actual resolution. Cisco has a bad track record in that regard and software in general. My employer has reached a settlement wi

Too many devs do not read the spec/docs and relies on testing. If it works it's golden.

Agreed. One DB to focus resiliency on, but every table or database is owned by a single service and managed using migrations. You can optimize that away later if necessary.

You can actually use postgresql for pubsub and thus instead of redis in some use cases.
50.
by tyldum 8y ago
But postgresql gives you not just the standard SQL database. It also does pubsub, timeseries, and lots more. It's fairly lean in itself and does not induce much overhead. Can run locally just with a unix socket and thus be just as easy

Yeah, it's big business actually. Having ground stations at the right spot means a lot, but the equipment is expensive (but getting cheaper every year now). We multi-tenant our assets to provide a cost effective solution and aid in get

(Say hi to Marshall!) And if someone has any questions about the ground side of things I work at KSAT which provides a global network of ground stations (both cubes and larger). We often find sat builders completely forgetting about the gro

Electric vehicle chargers that can be controlled by the utility company exists in Norway. So in the event of electricity scarcity they can turn it off. I assume it's controlled by ripple or something, but the details are unknown to me.

Mainly just apt-get these days. Occasionally something is deprecated in the config file, but the release notes are very clear. Never had an issue and our omnibus install has been chugging along since they introduced enterprise version back

When the definition turns to some kind of dogma, then it will fail.

Enterprise version, like with Influxdb as well.

JWT isn't necessarily a complete solution as it lacks revocation. That can be handled in other ways, but some people insist on discouraging it rather than telling you how to properly handle them.
58.
by tyldum 8y ago
Indeed. However, this is just a building block and not a library solution. Combined with a revocation list you are good. And use something like OpenPolicyAgent to implement it, adding a lot of other possibilities as well.

Ground principle with coffee is to increase amount of coffee and water. Do not increase immersion time, as that will only make it bitter. If the press is too small to add enough water, then just dilute as needed after brewing. But "nev

Your points are largely valid, but prometheus is a monitoring solution, not a scientific or financial tool. Certain tradeoffs are taken since the monitoring aspect comes first and being scientifically correct comes second. Hence poll vs pus
