Europe is crying out for sovereign clouds. If this is to be a viable alt cloud, US jurisdiction is a no. Not sure we can move away from cpu/memory/io budgeting towards total metal …

This is absolutely correct. HN readers can learn more about the merit order and marginal pricing here: https://www.next-kraftwerke.com/knowledge/what-does-merit-or... You can read …

Jira's now discontinued server version had a sequence table to stop you sharding it. It also made disaster recovery from a hard shutdown awful. I have nothing good to say about Atl…

Their Windows sensor has made development almost unworkable. Not sure why but I haven't noticed the OSX sensor slow things down appreciably. I suspect my Windows profile is configu…

Knight Capital!

6 days is pretty reasonable to me because I'm an avid supporter of the release train (miss the release train, wait for the next one). Governance is an important aspect of the softw…

This is something I've been unable to articulate as succinctly as you have - thanks. In the past I put it down my experienced approach and what I need from others: make it work (me…

Python has a few weird issues like this. The last one I encountered was with a class inheriting Thread, join and the SQL Server ODBC driver on Linux. Fairly sure I hit page faults …

This appears to be the domain of Dagster + dbt, with which you get data lineage, not just composition.

Modern frameworks rely on components and the shadow DOM. If you understand how these are implemented you'll go far. One of the trickier things to grasp is where your CSS begins and…

I also found the C#/F# courses very well made. Specifically those by Mark Seemann, Kate Gregory and K Scott Allen... who I just found out died 2 years ago :(

Slow hash function + salt would solve this.. e.g. you'd be lucky to do more than 10 hashes a minute with bcrypt and 20 salt rounds.

I did the same a while back. I used ANTLR4 to generate a .NET tree walker that would build up an IQueryProvider expression. IQueryProvider would then compile to Expression and self…

I've found that AWS IAM is amazing compared to Azure AD. With AWS you can do per-workload account vending and grant account owners full "AdministratorAccess", because IAM resources…

Network layering is still important on the cloud but many DevOps appear to miss that. Logical cloud protection layers - like security groups - are an additional security layer but …

Lots of timed algo ones in my city - i.e. time-space complexity. Completely unrealistic for a DevOps cum full-stack role. If they were untimed - like homework assignments - I'd pro…

Last year I tried to source an on-demand AV scanner because we'd exhausted what clamav was capable of (it non-deterministically craps out after 2Gb and can't scan binaries). If I c…

Is your enterprise a product or solutions startup? Products only scale if resold - the magical 90% pure profit margin only exists on theory. In practice client demands will almost …

He's isolated like he's receiving chemotherapy. A few years back he pointed out that many leaders appeared to be dying of cancer. Add the US mortality statement last week and it's …

In the enterprise you'll find that Jira is used for general workflow management not just CICD. I've encountered teams of analysts spend their working day moving and editing work it…

I've found that external tech requirements are horrible to work with, especially when the underlying stack simply doesn't support it. Normally these are pushed by certified cloud c…

This appears to be similar to Azure AD Application Proxy. If it is they're one step ahead of MS because their App Proxy Connector clobbers MSAL auth tokens and they can't be bother…
