I think the way to go is a mix of the two. It is covenient for companies to get guaranteed money in advance. As for customer it's way cheaper to start with usage based model. This …

Here in Lithuania we have like 90% of plastic bottles have a deposit logo on them, pretty much all of the soda, beer, water, milk bottles are recycled. Most of the non recycleable …

But if your service was down for more than what it takes to downscale to minimum scaling back up is not that big of an issue. It was down anyways. Also 24/7 instances exist for a r…

For anyone looking for cheapest SBC. Best I've found was Orange pi zero at $6.99 for 256mb version. That includes wireless wifi onboard. I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Th…

You can have a look at xeon e5-2670 v2 cpus, they're relatively cheap, around $200 and have 8c/16t so in a double cpu configuration you could have 64 cores with only 4 machines.

If it's a matter of life or death why didn't they have some sort of battery backup. It shouldn't need that much power. Or even additional generator. As well as having moden version…

Why would you really need physical machines for linux and windows, you can always virtualize clients and run dual boot mac/windows or single thinkpad with win/linux dual boot. If b…

Most of the designed emails have images which will be blocked by the client(thunderbird), which looks really horrible. So I will have to be very interested to actually allow images…

As I understand it he disabled asserts in places which would certainly fail, like doing system stuff, modifying system state and such, but not actual relevant parts.

You can always have multiple VM's with gpu passthrough, so it's almost like dual boot kind of setup, but you can still run other things on the host. It works pretty well for me, on…

I'm recently setup Gitlab for my personal projects, import from bitbucket was a breeze. I've used omnibus installer and it was almost painless, only a couple of issues because of L…

> I am assuming that having RAM and CPU (and other functions such as GPU or other hardware accelerators) We already have RAM(cache) and GPU(integrated graphics) on the same die. Bu…

That's one of the reasons I love arch, it has AUR. Don't like packaging, just create your own. > Really? Then what about this poor sap who had the misfortune of releasing one buggy…

Yes they can, there is nothing preventing them creating the package. But it shouldn't be a primary way of installing package. If you really need bleeding edge for development you c…

That's really good case about upstream packaging. Do we really want yet another android story? I trust maintainer which is volunteering it's time to ensure the package complies wit…

> This should be titled "A Ruby programmer looks at Rust". There are now a very large number of programmers who have zero experience with anything below the level of a scripting la…

Yep, that is the reality most of the time. It would be easy if you had a fixed list of features for a project. But they change most of the time throughout the development. You get …

As I mostly work on PHP and JS will try to explain how my debugging session usually goes. Most of the bugs are easily reprodusable so for them I just go straight for the file and s…

I don't understand why custom solution seems to favourited by them. It's the same as saying your car is bad because it's running on the most popular fuel. As a web developer workin…

I do not agree with your point that you have to pass validation. First of all I don't say that you should leave unclosed tags for browser to figure out. Or doing something crazy to…

If you're going for C10M you can already forget about docker. For performance you really must be as close to the hardware as possible, which possibly means tweaking kernel. Best ex…

It might even be 20 core processor, because htop actually shows threads and most processors nowadays are 2 threads per core. For example my R710 shows 16 threads while it's only 2x…

So that is where it actually comes from. I was wondering for some time now. This is one of my favorite features on oh-my-zsh! It mostly helps when you type complicated command and …
