I couldn't find a version of this video on YouTube without commentary. The reading comprehension level in the US is completely unacceptable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FdGIRB…

Yes, although that's not new. The amount of different exploits and RCE I've seen in the past decade from just "opening" an PDF is mind blowing. Not sure if it's slowed down but aro…

It's worth noting that GPUs have a much higher failure rate than traditional CPUs. Over 10x the failure rate due thermal stress. The amount of heat generated is very different. You…

It's been a while since I've checked this but a few years ago we tried to limit test kine on a large-ish cluster and it performed pretty poorly. It's fine for small clusters but th…

The node failure rate is much higher than that. On a 1M node cluster of cloud-managed instances (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.) you'd likely see failures a few times a month, if not more.

It depends on how much effort you put into it vs. just using any of the base templates/components that Tailwind Plus (previously Tailwind UI) has to offer. If you look at their Sho…

Jeremy Rubin built a proof-of-concept for this over a decade ago for a hackathon and ended up being sued by the state of New Jersey. This blog post[0] has a good summary of the eve…

Just an (uneducated) guess here, I don't believe capsules carry the necessary amount of fuel that it would take to accomplish this.

It depend on the UUID version you're using. Version 4 (Random) will always have that value be 4 as per RFC 9562. So 99999999-9999-9999-9999-999999999999 is a valid UUID but not a v…

> C) Only one staging env per customer. Want to check what a new setting will do? Every developer is getting that setting turned on. Stripe Sandboxes[1] aim to solve this problem! …

There's some explicit differences with Python[1]. My understanding is that Starlark was specifically created for Bazel so if I had to guess it's to enforce the immutability of valu…

Thank you for TA'ing the class! I took it in 2015 and TAs really made the class for myself and most of my friends. Is the end of semester Leisserchess competition still going? I be…

I believe the original Kubernetes proof of concept was written in Java

fly.io is another popular one

How do you go from "25,000 requests per second" (25krps) to "one request every 3 seconds"?

It might be plan dependent(?) but everything you’re describing is configurable on your PagerDuty profile. I have it configured to send me a notification immediately followed by a c…

Right. I meant to say there are groups capitalizing on the situation

> Shocked that no VC or group of them haven't stood up a short term bridge loan facility since it was them who triggered the chain reaction that took the bank down. Several groups …

(Disclaimer: I haven't looked too much into this tool other than a cursory glance) It seems this tool isn't meant mostly for testing how different components behave under different…

For what it’s worth sometimes it’s worth abandoning old legacy context in a rewrite if the new solution drastically reduces operational complexity. For example, it’s cheaper/better…

> GraphQL forces you to write business logic on the client Even if you have traditional REST endpoints, you still have to potentially orchestrate their usage client-side.

Depending on the size of your cluster, scaling out the apiservers is not necessarily cheap as the watch caches need to be initialized which puts load on etcd. Generally speaking, i…

Adobe removing support for their products in Apple products would have just created a void that someone else would have filled.
