Sql databases usually come with their own date types that are implemented with integers behind the curtains. They take up less space and are easier to sort than text fields. EDIT: …

Your comment made me feel better about myself, thanks.

In the spirit of nitpicking, class A, B, and C referred to specific address blocks, not network sizes. A /24 in the class A range was still class A rather than class C.

My impression from Twitter “new job” announcements in the last 6 months is that Apple has seriously ramped up its kubernetes staff.

Nice post, thanks. Did you happen to raise an issue with the Go team? Maybe it would be low hanging fruit for a compiler optimization.

Do you have a link to the eks networking bug?

I agree 100% that a developer isn’t required to implement any feature. One thing to think about is that it’s not necessarily a single user or a single team weighing costs and benef…

I don’t have the experience you do, but I feel like it comes up a lot when working with dictionaries and json.

You can also use the same basic cicd pipeline to manage infrastructure on different providers instead of a custom pipeline for each provider tailored to their tool.

From the drawing, it looks like gitaly decouples git storage from the workers, but still uses NFS on the backend.

VMware supports NFS as a storage backend so it ends up being used in a lot of storage arrays in Enterprise shops. Gitlab.com was also using it as of last year, but I’m not sure if …

Value-based pricing is an alternative to cost-based pricing. Try to quantify the value that your library brings to the customer in terms of revenues generated or costs saved. You a…

Thanks, I saw those and they seem clear enough. So the go code is unrelated to nginx.cfg and app.cfg?

I’m interested in learning that model, but a readme in there that explains how to go from nothing to a deployment might help. Edit: also the fact that you have a 4 month old outsta…

I don't think this is fair to sysadmins, and I don't think sysadmins deserve your low opinion. The tools are designed the way they are not to appease lowly sysadmins, but because i…

FANGs all use white box hardware with “merchant silicon” meaning they buy the chipsets directly from Broadcom, Mellanox, etc. and build their own devices. However, they do all have…

Is using an operator a replacement for installing a service via helm?

Perhaps try giving them 4 future days off in exchange for working two weekend days. Weekend days are more valuable than weekdays because your family is free from work/school and th…

In my opinion, your criticism is unwarranted here. Asking about the job market for a language on HN is completely valid and doesn’t signal an inability for OP to answer the questio…

Op admitted to being unwise financially, so your comment kind of seems like rubbing salt in the wound.
