The Apache Software Foundation Struggles from Too Much Success
The Cold War would like a word.
If you can live with single precision floating point, a cheap GPU will crunch numbers about an order of magnitude faster than a CPU. That assumes the computation can be parallelized. If the computation cannot be parallelized then single threaded performance matters most. Single threaded performance differences between similar CPU's tend to differ more modestly and small performance improvements tend to come with much higher costs.

Depending on data size, more RAM and faster disks and faster networks may make more of a difference. But again, GPU's and parallelization are going to reduce computational time more than CPU choice when parallelization is an option.

Good luck.
But my point is that you won't even ever have an issue with overusing traffic or CPU during a DoS, and the issue will be purely that your bandwidth will be saturated.

Vs. AWS, Firebase, etc where your limit will be your bank account instead.
Amazon’s new bestseller list tracks what people are actually reading
There are a couple of reasons to actively prevent autofill passwords. The only one I have seen for login autofill prevention is when the password is actually a generated token (ala yubikey,etc) and a password manager won't do the right thing by default.

There are regulatory bodies that require regular challenge of user identity for approving items as sort of a signature mechanism. This is another time where active thwarting the password manager makes sense. Whether or not the regulation makes sense is an entirely different issue.
Another way to look at this might be - do you want to deal with this now as a sole dev/ops/etc person of many hats or later, when you can hire someone to look after this?

Make sure you're not the only person who can work with your code. Make yourself easily replaceable, on a project level.

Otherwise you will get calls during your vacation; you may not be able to work on other projects, switch teams or even get promoted - or if you do, you will still be supporting the code you wrote years ago on the side.

> Calling people who don't understand technology "grunts"

Not a native speaker, but since the customer is the military, "grunt" is likely not meant derogatory, but just is (quoting Wikipedia) "an infantry man, in military slang".

The repeated facepalming is clearly outgroup derogation, though. That's just thedailywtf.com; their articles are always like that. I had them in my feed reader, but got tired of that writing style eventually.
"Those who are still in school or fresh out of it will be up-to-date with the latest theory and trends. "

The theory doesn't change that fast... also trends? Maybe in terms of a new JS library.. but I think it's more of new grads will work for cheap and will take more bullshit. They also are more likely to move to/for the job.
the azure billing report is a disaster; they seem to be slowly fixing it though. The line items are tricky and usually not super human friendly, multiple billable resources roll up to single items with weird quantities in some instances, if you have mixed ARM and ASM resources only the ARM stuff in your usage report will have data for tags (cause there's no concept of inheritance from parent resource group), ARM and ASM resources have different formats for some common fields, and tons more I've repressed from memory.

If you have an EA agreement, half (or more?) of the billing report interfaces don't work. If you have to use the EA portal due to an EA agreement....lets just say within the past year they have been through some rough periods of random undocumented format changes, magically disappearing billing reports for a few hours at a time, random intermixed windows and linux style line endings in the same file, periods where they are DAYS behind your actual usage, etc...

Source: I wrote a infrastructure inventory and billing/usage aggregation system that normalizes data from Azure, AWS, and vCenter to help our company easily track spending by service, tags, etc... across all of platforms where we have a presence.

In addition to what others said, there is no guarantee working at a startup is going to give you broad exposure to all the skills you will need later. A well designed and delivered program can do this.

Some grad programs similar to this one also lead up to a capstone course that brings previous students back and gets them exposed to new graduates. This greatly improves exposure and success.
AWS Lambda functions are super portable. You can essentially copy & paste them into a simple express.js app and be up and running in a few minutes.

Some of my best passwords were phrases copied from discarded cartons on my desk. For example, I could choose a password,

There is a limited level of mobility between different types of secondary school, but yeah, it's mostly determined at ages 10-12. (Some states have moved the 5th and 6th grade from secondary to primary school to push that decision to an older age.) Plenty of parents are helicoptering their kids these days to ensure that they end up at the right secondary school.
Sync Images Between Android and iOS with NativeScript, Angular, and Couchbase
In general, more and more sites encourage me to just leave Javascript turned off all the time. If they break, screw them, I'll go elsewhere. The only sites "sticky" enough to make me put up with it are financial, and that's only because they all suck so changing solves nothing. 'Missing out' on Angular sites hasn't left me feel like I'm missing anything in my life.

This ties in to the discussion of Craig's List the other day. It is so refreshing to use a site that doesn't try to be clever. I understand if people find it ugly, but I don't - simple is good, and I don't care if sites follow whatever design trend is hot this week. Usability is far more important.

The users were low-ranking US military service members. In that context, "grunt" does not particularly have any negative connotations, and if these folks were in reality REMFs, could actually be considered a compliment.

I have hosted my side projects at DO for four years, and am very happy with their service. I've served half a petabyte of data to 5 million users in that time. I have consistently been happy with their documentation and API. I haven't required much customer service, but the customer service I have had has been adequate.

When I've done the calculations for my use cases, I've found it would be significantly cheaper for me to have a second, redundant copy of my entire infrastructure at another provider as a failover in the event of a prolonged DO downtime than it would be to host my side projects at Amazon or Google.
It is because the distribution of that magnificent progress is so unevenly distributed. The size of the inequality gap inversely correlates with the amount of freedom and social mobility available, even if the system has risen on average.

We should be looking at median progress or other robust indicators rather than simple averages (which are greatly affected by the presence of outliers and long-tailed distributions)
It's very easy to fall into this mistake because language-wise they're both sorta correct. Using a,an,in etc to prefix a word X to indicate the lack of X is called Alpha Privative which dates back to the ancient Greeks but was later adopted by other cultures. So "inorganic" and "anorganic" might be both correct when expressing the lack of organic material, although as a word "inorganic" is the one that caught up and using "anorganic" - especially in an English speaking context - can lead to misinterpretations like that one.

I think GCE has better support for encryption at rest than DO.

On the plus side, DO will make you jump through fewer hoops than GCE to get started. GCE had UX and logic bugs in their automated billing system when I used them last that ended up affecting uptime.
Well this is typical dailywtf - while amusing most of the stories are massaged to be more entertaining to such a degree it become unrealistic.

While Windows XP will offer to to do a repair when it gets shutdown suddenly normally doing that won't cause filesystem corruption or even HARDWARE damage as is implied in the story.

My guess from the description is that the generator power is probably dirty - the right fix would have been an online UPS here with an app that shuts the machine down on power loss.

A second factor might be that the PC was set to start automatically when Power was applied and while booting up it gets turned off again several times
I think a Windows XP (and windows 7) machine will then ask for user interaction.

You can turn this Function off tho and Windows will ignore power loss after that.

Android Go: Lightweight Version of Android O – SuratNow
Agreed. I don't know why Amazon (and Azure) make this so hard. I've done something pretty similar to what Segment did (except it supports normalizing stats from Azure and AWS), and 90% of the work is stuff you don't feel like you should have to be doing.
I think it's more likely the bubble that bursts is in the loan market. Loads of speculators moving college debt around until everyone realizes that nobody can pay back their student loans making the debt worthless. Everyone panics and sells debt as fast as they can.
First, you sound like an american, so being called "socialist" doesn't really mean anything. Center-right, Center, and center-left politicians are routinely called "socialist" in the US.

Additionally, it's not an ad-hominem when I'm criticizing the form your appeal is taking. "I'm being ad-hommed!" is another telltale sign of someone who thinks they're better at rhetoric than they actually are.

As for the matter in question, many of us do use advertisement blockers, and when the content is truly paywalled, we engage in required transactions to obtain access to it.

It's risible that you consider yourself a socialist when you unironically spin the peddling of addictive clickbait garbage as "consuming free high-quality content". As bizarre a way to describe Facebook or Buzzfeed as I've ever witnessed.

Taxing ads, and outright banning them from targeting anyone but adults, seem like nice first steps.
I'd actually like an extension along the lines of "This is not Google Docs, for fuck's sake", that just disables all these APIs that are only ever useful with rich apps, but not with content-heavy websites, for example:

- copy/paste hijacking

- sensor access: microphone, camera, GPS, etc.

Maybe even go further and introduce some sort of rate-limiting for

- XHR requests

- relayout events

to save power and data.
Yeah I agree, you figure out very quickly by the voice/cry what they want.
Humble Bundle's New Book Collection Helps You Start Coding with Python
Sorry for replying to myself, but I found some further information on this that might be quite interesting (and sad). WDC released a press briefing based on the files they received from the Nuremberg zoo in 2016 [0], couldn't find an English version and the full report was supposed to be released in summer of 2016, I also couldn't find that.

But what's described in the press briefing is already bad enough.
On page 4 and 5 they list examples where dolphins got treated with Diazepam and even males with synthetic progestogen (female hormones) to influence their anti-social behavior resulting from the poor living conditions
They even administered Diazepam to pregnant dolphins, the calf needed to be treated with antibiotics regularly because the mother would keep hurting it and in turn, the mother would get Diazepam in an attempt to tone her behavior down.

Because the anti-social behavior is so common dolphins regularly have to be isolated, furthering their mental issues.

Tbh none of this is surprising to me, in nature these animals are known to make 4.000 km journeys, 90 km a day, diving down to 500 meters. In Nuremberg 9 of them are stuck in shallow concrete pools with the total area of 1/4th of a soccer field. No room to evade social conflicts, nothing exciting to discover so, of course, these very intelligent animals are going crazy in such an environment, I know I would.

Not sure about that, as others have mentioned. At 2M monthly active users, bandwidth alone would be way more than $5 on GCE/AWS, no? How much bandwidth did you use?
The other second order effect is that advertising will influence you even if you opted out of everything you could and lived under a rock. As long as you have friends who are exposed to advertising, you are exposed to advertising through them.

Car manufacturers specifically optimize for this effect, which is why car ads are targeted at people who already own said car, not potential new buyers.
Yes, but for a company like Google, "massive technical undertaking of making the Android framework work with a none Java interoperable language" doesn't seem like a big problem. Especially, given that they've had so much time to do so and they didn't do it.

If you're going to deploy on Digital Ocean, I recommend you rebuild your app within Flynn (so you can migrate if anything goes wrong with your bill). Take a backup of your cluster (or the individual apps) after you are done and if you get a surprise, just rebuild your cluster somewhere else from a backup file.

Your software is too precious and your small startup is too precious to be married to someone who just thinks of you as "a customer". DO has never done me wrong (I have used their platform for years) but having a plan is handy.
Thanks for the great insight. App would serve close to 25k customers initially and will grow eventually.

It's worth nothing that Swift literals are mostly library constructs as well. Any type conforming to ArrayLiteralConvertible can be instantiated using [...] syntax, for example. All other literal types (integers, floats, strings, dictionaries, etc.) have their own corresponding protocols you can implement. The only thing that's special for types like Array, Int, or String is that the compiler will automatically infer those types for a literal if there's nothing that indicates otherwise.

For example:

let x = [1, 2, 3] // produces Array
let y: MyType = [1, 2, 3] // produces MyType
f([1, 2, 3]) // produces whatever type f() takes
I keep wondering how Mark justifies this to himself.

Not at all, that's inherent to the whole idea of handmade. Your product probably won't be the same if you get someone helping you with it; certainly the handmadiness that people are paying you for won't be there any more. If your product is good enough to stand on its own merits then you can sell it conventionally.

> Then, the demand is just absorbed by copycats.

Any copycat presumably has to stand on their own and earn their own reputation. If you've got positive reviews for the product you handmade, that shouldn't transfer over to someone else making it, even if that someone else is employed by you.

The pricing model on this makes no sense. Argo claims to optimize the route between Cloudflare and the origin, which is only used during cache misses, yet they charge $0.10/gb for all traffic from Cloudflare to visitors.

Considering most sites will be aiming for a high cache hit rate, I don't see this being very attractive unless your user base is constantly logged in and hitting your backend.

I disagree with this. If you paste a password into both fields, then paste it into your password manager, it doesn't matter if you've copied the wrong thing, because your password manager will still remember it.
If you can remember your password, better not fly to the UK.
