Unpopular opinion ahead: The deal with user facing libraries like this is that I'd rather they generalize this and expose the existing network library drivers with a uring interface, and the user processes can take care of packet decap

It's good to have competition in the cloud space. Amazon already has two government regions, I guess (1 US and 1 CN). Can someone confirm if these are already operational?

Okay, can someone give an explanation for why Rust does not mimic the -O fast behavior? Is this something they plan to add?

OK, Context for people: Apparently GitLab said it was going to telemetry, so a competitor, SourceHut saw a surge in signups. To me, it's a sign that if someone is adding telemetry for on-premise software, it better be opt-in.

Finally. This, I'm looking forward to watch. My unpopular opinion: Whistleblowers shouldn't be punished in a rogue state.

Call me a cynic, but Europe isn't the USA. There are a lot of countries in EU which have, IMO, better work culture and fairness of negotiation as the guiding philosophies behind the work. If Google did this in the USA, it wouldn'

In my opinion, a company can save money on a cloud if it has these things: - Access to cheap real estate - Access to enough human capital, especially a team of 80+ to operate all aspects of a cloud: hardware, switches, openstack / kube

When I started reading about the radiation safety of 5G, I started understanding that most early operators were not interested in the safety aspects as much as the money aspects of it. And if anything, what time has shown me is that the for

It's good to see how features turned on by default (System Restore) can have such a bad impact on performance. Thank you for doing the profiling!

This ^ DRM is only to create the illusion of security, to deter the average person, not the determined pirate or developer. Once you've sent the content to the client, you've lost all practical ways to avoid these torrents.

Now that they have the amdgpu driver in, it's time to run this on my Ryzen box.

Yes. Yes!! The gap on memory channels should get closed.

The way I read it: TL;DR - Jobs are stressing people out mentally and financially 1. We need more jobs, and with lesser trauma; Why do jobs have to stress the heck out of people? 2. SFO needs 3X shelters to accomodate the current population

Apart from: how to manufacture processed food, or resort to cannibalism, I was watching some documentaries the other day, where some guy just washed the toxicity out of wild berries, made some bread out of it and ate it. During an event whe

It works very well when you need a clear documented interface for communication. It will not work on a culture which demands more facetime. And more often, the answer is somewhere in between, and it's hard to generalize.

I'm totally looking forward to this. I got access to the VAX and Alpha kits from HPE, but I've always wanted to run it natively on x86. :) OpenVMS rocks.

1. and 2. Amazon does use a lot of MySQL, and the fact that they still do. Oracle can determine when and how it wants to bill Amazon. You and I can't change any of that. 3. Except when the other person isn't. You just lost me on t

1. When did I say that Amazon replaced Oracle with MySQL? I just said that MySQL is an Oracle database. 2. Open Source licenses that Amazon is not violating - a 3rdparty lawyer would be able to ascertain better about the extent of legality

I wonder: How long before someone adds a patch to PostgreSQL as a 'compat' patch, or extension.

Okay, all is fair in a really healthy discussion. The reason I write what I write anyway is because I believe in them. Your point is taken and accepted. I've slammed Google, FB and some other tech companies on certain occasions BTW, an

Obviously, enough Amazon bots are giving me bad karma, but my point stands: No, Amazon is not a special snowflake because it did this. This was an expensive exercise in spite, took a long time and a lot of people - and everyone knows it. Th

There was also MaxDB, and a few other that Monty built. There's also Percona, WebscaleSQL and a few other forks. Amazon have been using MySQL even before all these forks happened. And not only that, if Oracle decided to pursue a lawsui

Yeah but the client interfaces are all MySQL. Oracle should buy off PostgreSQL too. And then it should start charging only Amazon for using these interfaces. moar sarcasm .
