this was always the nice thing at amazon, because you never needed an atomic migration with version sets. it was definitely a case of making many things worse to do than in a monor…

you can increase profits through volume or margin. right now we are in a whole economy experiment to see how long you can increase margin through price increases and shrinkflation.…

> That can be easily done with comments. If the PR are orthogonal, they could have been split. Comments are ad-hoc and don't scale, relying on the author to interpret and adhere to…

> What's the benefit of this type of stacked PRs over a well-curated set of commits, and reviewing per commit? For the people who work with stacked diffs (in phab/otherwise) this i…

unless their business is going to be putting raw physical infra in dcs, they are about 5 years away from getting to something that could compete with AWS or GCP

"The average SAT score among legacy students was 1543, while it was 1515 for non-legacy students."

the last number is for the quarter whereas the rest are annual. if they maintain revenue it will be 3.88m/spooner

because they’re not; anthropic is pushing enterprises to switch to API/token pricing

How does this work with a tool like jujutsu that provides native support for stacking and preferably don't have a separate tool mucking about with state?

one thing to add for passive healthchecking and clientside loadbalancing is that throughput and dilution of signal really matters. there are obviously plenty of low/sparse call vol…

From a dataplane perspective, it does mean your healthchecks are running from a different location than your proxy. So there are risks where routability is impacted for proxy -> de…

kind of right, kind of wrong * for client-side load balancing, it's entirely possible to move active healthchecking into a dedicated service and have its results be vended along wi…

They invented a language to avoid you imperatively updating infrastructure, but that's not what CDKTF does; it just makes it easier to materialize that declarative output. It also …

my expectation is that they would either sell crucial RAM at such a low volume and/or such a high price that it would do more damage to the brand than sunsetting it and returning t…

Yes. the acknowledgement you're getting in your application code is that the data was persisted in sqlite on that host. There's no mechanism to delay acknowledgement until the writ…

litestream makes very few consistency guarantees compared to other datastores, and so I would expect most any issues found would be "working as intended". at the end of the day wit…

> the last place couldn’t because datadog apparently bills sidecar containers as additional hosts so using sidecar proxy would have doubled our datadog bill. that seems like the ta…

the problem is that they want to apply a number of stateful/lookaside load balancing strategies, which become more difficult to do in a fully decentralized system. it’s generally e…

My cheeky answer to "how should this be regulated?" is that sports betting isn't materially different from other high-risk private investments, so it should only be available to ac…

I was interested in this, so perusing I found https://govinfo.library.unt.edu/ngisc/reports/2.pdf which estimates in the late 90s "Estimates of the scope of illegal sports betting …

Go? I haven't see this particular unit before.

the article is a bit breathless, which seems par for the course for security blogs these days. And while "containers are not a security boundary" is evergreen and something AWS has…

why would they have access?

At this point, you might as well use no cloud provider because at some point someone may be able to be leveraged? Whether that's by your country, another country, or some other nef…

this would really be helped by demonstrating the wrong way to solve this, which is trying to think of the first balloon in the range and then combine with the subproblems. i expect…
