So it looks similar to AWS Systems Manager, but only for Windows and Linux in GCP. In their Youtube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeaA66WUaaM&feature=youtu.be they're sa…

My contribution is correct. I'm not a parrot. Temp RAM disk started in Linux 2.3 (possibly older than that), it didn't come from builds inside containers or instances in the cloud.…

A bit off topic, but unit test coverage trivializes the work that goes into conducting a migration. Unit test coverage really only pertains to upgrades. A migration is not synonymo…

An oversimplified explanation. SymPy is a non-interactive toolkit for balancing the numerical coefficients of a system of nonlinear equations. FYI a "system" in this sense is a mat…

You should ask to talk to a developer before accepting an obviously complicated migration. Ask about the numbers since they're not IP/Properitary. How many lines of code? How many …

I remember in an interview a developer had asked me to resolve the very same problem. And, I actually at the time never heard of it. He said to me that he knew I didn't have a lot …

Yikes! I'm surprised by the number of people who think temp RAM disk for QA testing came from using containers or the cloud. It was actually in use prior to that technology. And, i…

Snort3 will offload work to a second core only when the first core is overloaded, for the most part Snort3 uses only 1 core.

are there any advantages to using OCaml for making web apps?

Researchers determined that a NN of saliency maps could predict El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in climate simulations based on relatively few observational records (page 2).

I was wondering whether the numerical representations of individual faces were PCA numerical series. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is the most common method for image-based re…

i've talked to a few biotech startups, usually a ceo or founder. the main issues are a consensus in the startup that (1) it's easier to combine numerous unrelated technologies that…

sqlite can't be compared to postgresql since sqlite was specifically designed as file-based DB for embedded applications not as a full-featured RDMS

Eh, I didn't read it...so my thoughts. From experience the prob with DNSSEC is latency in verifying PKI of the record. Usually what happens is the timeout per resolver has to be gr…

Yes! You could approach a Professor at a public university here in the U.S. (like the University of Colorado at Denver in Denver, Colorado) who mentors PhD candidates and explain t…

I can't believe people are victim blaming the db admins for not knowing about vulnerability. What good comes of destroying the db instead of talking about the vulnerability to the …

I think it's wrong to rationalize what YouPlus CEO did to investors by saying he was like so many other people in startup culture; his actions don't represent silicon valley. I wis…

Acquisition cost is very high. I spend most of my time selling myself than any other activity. I've been doing consulting since 2015. My network has grown to 5k, yet I still have t…
