I wonder if it'll integrate with other AWS services, such as ALBs and ASGs, I don't think VMware has any equivalent.

I think a better approach would be to use annotations on the current AWS docs so that additional information is inline with the official documentation so you have both in the same place. The Hypothesis project is working on such a browser p

rather a regular http proxy that every browser supports And exactly as expected, they have a MSFT stack so they're wedged and think changing the spec is the right way to solve it. Sigh. > With TLS 1.2 we can ask the end user to take

They key phrase is "rely upon", meaning they went down a route of using a clever hack rather than formally designing a system to meet their goals. I wonder why SOCKs proxies, which every browser supports, wouldn't work for th

Right, but you're just offloading lots of the work to staff then. So you prob can do it cheaper, but is is really going to be good? Or just a pile of hackery one guy put together?

I don't think non-viable to viable is exactly what's going on however, at least in most cases. I think the costs are not being fully understood, the impact to the mindshare of the team, the quality of service and redundancy, the a

You just end up wasting your time maintain relationships with hardware vendors, troubleshooting low level issue, upgrading firmware. It wastes a lot of people's time in the company, not just the team, and you're building one off t

The problem with onsite data centers is that it's rare for the total cost to be tracked effectively, they often don't include salaries for example. Additionally to say that building something outside of the cloud ensures you'

Load testing is really hard, it would be interesting to see more research in this area, such as tooling and design patterns that flag bottlenecks that could be outages at larger scales.

It's pretty middle of the road, there are plenty of devs that pull in twice that. It's due to stock however, so it also depends on how well your company is doing.

Typically $150-180k is salary, and then benefits on top of that, so if you're at one of the bigger companies that offer RSU's your total comp is closer to $200k. But $170k is fine, and unless you're in a great tech area alrea

It would be interesting to know what MSFT's cost to run apps per users is. That would be a better measurement that captures total cost, rather than just the PUE.

It might not be that sudden of a change, you may still need someone watching the truck remotely, so one truck driver could be responsible for multiple trucks. So you could have larger fleets with the same workforce too.

That's interesting they didn't just collaborate on alembic.io, despite being sister companies.

... they are still redeeming things to do, but yeah, ideally you'd skip the scamming part. The Rockefellers made their money flatout on scams, but their name is fairly redeemed at this point.

It's a "me first" attitude, once folks get what they want, then they'll consider others. Pretty normal unfortunately.

Some level of packet loss is not a sign of a problem, this is a common confusion which has lead to the buffer bloat issues, and many poor quality behaviours by apps within datacenters. It's such a point of confusion that cloud provider

You have to consider that there are other streams on the same network paths, so simply sending faster doesn't actually mean faster transfers. It's almost identical to exiting a building during a fire, everyone can rush or exit ord

I'd love to know too, are there any frameworks that are at least more straightforward than React and Angular? One where you're not passing anonymous functions into functions with all sorts of confusing syntaxes, where you can just

A SQL db + Tableau are vastly more powerful and mature than those tools, they just can't do "big data", that's all.

by xorgar831 10y ago
I think the point is if you really have big data then it makes sense, but many shops add huge cost and complexity to projects where simpler tools would be more than adequate.
