I have once built an interactive calculator[1] for this exact problem, maybe someone else will find it useful too [1] https://observablehq.com/@oavdeev/parallel-task-latency-calc..…

Yeah QuickSight is their shot at that market. But (anecdotally) I don't think it getting much traction. The fact that they didn't have any flashy announcements about it at re:Inven…

That set of people is not that small; it is basically what people in business analyst roles do all day. They know Excel very well and maybe even a bit of python/js, have a good und…

It does; unfortunately they don't have a nice way to just disallow overwrites (that's why I was curious how you implemented that)

How did you do "no overwrite" bit? By enabling versioning?

I suspect it works well for business travellers though; they are not that price sensitive (as long as the fare is within the company policy).

Here's lstopo output for the largest one, for good measure: https://instaguide.io/info.html?type=a1.4xlarge#tab=lstopo though there's nothing terribly surprising.

Here's lstopo output on a 4-core AWS instance to illustrate your point: https://instaguide.io/info.html?type=c5.xlarge#tab=lstopo

If you're using AWS anyway, I think using their managed Postgres / RDS could make this a lot easier operationally. No need for custom syncing/backup scripts, easier to scale the st…

To be fair, AWS gives you bigger discounts for RI than GCP's sustained use. That makes sense; someone gotta pay for the risk. This said, GCPs committed use discounts still seem to …

I mean.. I get it, there isn't a lot to work with, it is a thing that _stores files_ after all, and it most closely resembles a normal filesystem. But it does make GCP's storage pr…

So now they have two cloud storage products, called Cloud Firestore and Cloud Filestore? Their branding team is on top of their game, as always.

You're talking about a hypothetical fund with 20/20 hindsight.

We've looked at Airflow. Two main things why we went with Luigi are * time-based and dependency-based scheduling do not mix well in our experience, if you try to do both at the sam…

Yes, schema wise that's pretty close. However, last time I looked that didn't seem like a use case InfluxDB invested a ton of effort optimizing for, especially if you tried to stor…

Exact same photo was making rounds in Russian Facebook few weeks ago, judging by the door and the handle I bet it is indeed Moscow, not London. As in this case, no one saw the guy …

This problem definitely existed with official 14.04 (HVM) AMI, though I haven't re-tested this recently, they may have fixed it. It did have some kind of SR-IOV driver but it was t…
