The irony is that that would probably be Apple's policy with its own offices if a competitor came up with such a feature.
A single box may have that much resources available, but no software will use them efficiently alone. You end up having issues with NUMA, with your pagetable growing significantly forcing you to deal with hugepages and…
Measuring a platform team's productivity in pure "hours saved" is missing a huge point: reliability. If your platform prevents even one outage every month, how much business value and capital are saved? That analysis is…
I don't know where you live but I've been able to express myself without any form of approval. Granted, I tend to not encourage genocide or glorify fascist regimes, but that's just me.
Sad that the United States are pushing so hard to encourage the propagation of propaganda & lies. I'm not surprised given their history, but it's sad nonetheless.
My mental model is that each of these covers a different layer of the stack, from lowest to highest: * hypervisor-framework handles the hypervisor bits, like creating virtual machines, virtualising hardware resources,…
Yeah per your edit that'd be for 256GB RAM which puts that into serious dollar category. For comparison I checked what AWS asks for for the same spec and that'd be $4616/month (for a db.m8gd.16xlarge), and that doesn't…
On Hetzner you will be on the hook for managing the database though, and DBA is most certainly a full-time job if you have a serious use-case for it.
It depends a bit on your cloud provider but some of them have an offering that doesn't always match your needs or their pricing might be much more expensive at equal performance.
You're pointing out exactly what bothered me with this post in the first place: "we moved from microservices to a monolith and our problems went away"... ... except the problems had not much to do with the service…
So it's 2025 and we're building more disposable electronics? I'm sorry but I think the EU is not the problem here.
The person you're replying to asked if it was fun. Consider that my sarcasm was meant to be sort of tongue in cheek and not incredibly serious, which is a very different kind of tone from other comments in this chain.
Honestly, if the bus/delivery driver needed a mid-shift break to deal with some life stuff, yeah by all means, I personally think they should be able to do that kind of stuff (though maybe we start by giving them…
It's called a work-life balance. I know, crazy idea.
Similarly to other replies (but my own opinion): it's not a huge source of revenue today, on a single customer basis, compared to our biggest customers, sure. But our goal is to provide potential customers that can't…
(Planetscale employee) This is very different though: it's not a free tier, it's an actual single node DB as a paid product. It's definitely not a good fit for every usecase, but if you have a hobby project it's a great…
