> All Docker images are glorified tar layers that are compressed with gzip. By definition, all users of Docker are users of gzip and tar. I understand what your point is (it's not as visible) but I don't agree with…
I feel like docker is core to more businesses than compressing/decompressing files. A lot of business package things in docker containers and are probably more likely to donate based on that. Compressing/decompression…
One nice thing about the movie theatre is that you're paying a large amount of money (~$5/hr) to be there, so you're more likely to pay attention. I find with netflix, people take shows less seriously and spend time on…
For the most part, adding complexity to anything increases the chance of failure. For average people (who don't generally give out their keys) it's not a great idea, but for airbnb hosts, making a key that is hard to…
I wasn't even aware they existed until I saw this thread. I don't understand why companies feel they need to start selling average household products, but with cameras, microphones, wifi, and bluetooth. Maybe I'm just…
I'm fairly certain you're incorrect. With the GIL you don't have to lock shared memory because the assumption is that only one thread will be running at a time. For example shared data structures won't be changed while…
Yes, I'm sure Google has analyzed this. I'm just saying it's fairly surprising considering that $3 billion hinges entirely on the assumption that people won't change the default. Apparently there are approximately 700…
> "Court documents indicate that Google paid Apple $1B in 2014, and we estimate that total Google payments to Apple in FY 17 may approach $3B," Bernstein analyst A.M. Sacconaghi Jr. said. "Given that Google payments are…
I tried. My company has a python API that we run on our machines, we sell the machines to businesses and don't manage them ourselves. We wanted to see if we could get some easy performance increases without too much…
It's the same issue with Python. AFAIK there are a number of Python libraries that are not thread-safe, and the GIL prevents them from being an issue.
Some APIs I've seen just use 400 for all generic client-side errors, including request syntax errors, impossible requests, duplicate requests, etc. I would argue that most of the time, for any sufficiently large…
Take this for what it is - I'm a software developeer who works in the cloud, not a cloud expert. The abstraction behind AZs is what every AZ counts for at least 1 data centre. So for every region there is at least 2…
California is the most populous state. Most Americans treat Canada like it's some uninhabited wasteland, which is somewhat untrue. There are parts of Canada which are less populated but there are also densely populated…
This is very disingenuous in my opinion, California is the most populous state. Most of Canada is not populated. Most Canadians live within the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor [1]. Its a fairly small (densely-populated)…
The S3 outage was across the whole US-EAST-1 region, not just one data centre. I know my company and a few others that are redundant within a region (ie if one AZ goes down), but not if a whole region goes down.
Especially because AWS regions are broken up into multiple availability zones (data centres in the same area). So taking out a single data centre won't do much if the AWS customers have correctly designed their systems…
Only in Quebec is this allowed though, not the rest of Canada [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Piller_order#Quebec_.28c... EDIT: turns out I'm wrong, disregard this.
I don't understand how this is fundamentally different from just doing it in regular javascript. You could write a javascript function that recurses forever on condition x: just write a function that calls itself with…
Google also seemingly hasn't been trying very hard to make Youtube profitable. Spotify has a free tier, but you only get the "standard" 160 kpbs bitrate, as well as ads. To get the "extreme" 320 kbps bitrate you need to…
Radio stations still exist and they survive primarily on audio advertisements. That's also without any of the internet fingerprinting which can be used to cater advertisements and potentially make Soundcloud's…
I don't know if that's necessarily true. Youtube is to Netflix what Soundcloud is to Spotify. Netflix and Spotify are successful because they charge a small fee to allow users to consume high quality content. Youtube…
> The only legitimate complaint there is that it's tough in Rust to get two arbitrary mutable slices into the same array. Rust wants to be sure they're disjoint, to prevent aliasing. For some matrix manipulation, this…
Well certain Linux distros (Gentoo comes to mind) are designed to support their users compiling applications from source. Some users just want to be able to compile using -march=native, and aren't interested in fixing…
> it has no business doing random tampering like intercepting logins and DNS requests and renaming device nodes I agree with the resolving DNS requests complaint, wasn't aware of that to be honest. That actually does…
Presumably end users who are compiling from source wouldn't want to enable -Werror though. If you are an application developer and a compiler X gives warnings that compiler Y doesn't for your application, then ideally…
