Yup. I have an adblocker, but after the first answer (which was crap) I got a link to the question "What is jam made from?" and then got prompted with a modal to prompt me to make …

So couldn't you charge the control-plane for zero-node clusters?

I have personal experience of a few companies in the UK where GCP are offering 90+% discounts to onboard. GCP are spending hundreds of millions to do this. K8S control-planes are a…

TBF it may be best to explain your working a bit better, considering you work at Google.

That's actually a really good idea. Bit like a Credit Card Chargeback, except it's charged to the customer and is refundable.

Same with NHK (I think) in Japan. Lots of old school broadcasters doing proper engineering.

If easydns can't survive a HN flood then I wouldn't want to be a customer of theirs.

BBC research are amazing. They've been doing this for decades, most recently with next gen codecs and latency issues on internet transmission. As a British person I'm actually prou…

Same! Best programming I ever did was on the ST and Amiga.

Please don't overegg the issue with AMP by comparing it to cancer.

I've not had the same issue on my Thinkpad X1C6. I think I installed TLP and Powertop but the battery life is better than Windows for my use case.

Yeah, Google's SSO is fine unless the first logged-in account (/u/0) is one with a redirect to a company portal login. At which point you have to manipulate the URL to get to a dif…

Happy to proofread and fix it in a PR, looks like a nice tool.

Agreed - have seen at least 2 of these in the last couple of days, this is ridiculous.

ThinkPad X1 Carbon. It's a beautiful laptop and works well with Fedora after a couple of tweaks. I've got an XPS 13 for work which is nice too but runs windows. Pros and cons are: …

Donated via PayPal. Thanks for your work, would be great to see it in the kernel soon.

Thanks - yes that's exactly what I meant

Hate oracle personally. But when Amazon mention cost savings, I assume they're not at list price for normal aws customers like us?

Not a chance. It's never a single engineer, code gets the PR checked by another engineer and the Jira will be specific with any PII, probably written by committee, all of whom know…

If Twitter didn't distinguish between phone_2fa and phone_identifier then they really shouldn't be in business.

Same happened to me. However, I did do a support request which 2 days later agreed to let me in without a phone number. 2 days. I think we can file this under 'dark patterns' and f…

Bollocks. A phone number is an ideal identifier to match on, they've done exactly the same as FB - pretended it's something for security then gone 'oops'. I've never worked on the …

" we have addressed the issue that allowed this to occur and are no longer using phone numbers or email addresses collected for safety or security purposes for advertising. " Does …

That caught me too...

That's the nerdiest, but most British description of them ever. I'm nicking that.
