Good question. No reason to expect Google beating AWS, but absolutely Google beats Snap on price per Watt if Snap builds this infra out themselves. I'm no expert, but I'd say that …

Many talking of software here, but at this scale I think we should be looking at the cost of energy. Suppose Google has a true edge on the rest of the market in terms of what the c…

Swift is a language designed from its core to build apps that work well for Apple hardware. I understand why developers gag at its quirky paradigms, but at the end of the day, if y…

Earthquakes, and the twitter responses to them, have been the focus of some pretty interesting academic studies that I've read (2011 Christchurch, NZ was what I studied). If I stil…

Why not take this a step further and have another system try to diagnose the issue with the identified outlier server before handing it over to the alert system? Seems like you'd b…
