Step one if you haven’t already would be adding caching. Something like varnish in front for, if nothing else guest traffic, and memcached or redis for commonly fetched data.

For a lot of cases varnish (or a different reverse-proxy cache) will shave off 50% of your traffic from ever hitting the servers. It depends on your percentage of guests/sessioned users and and read/writes though.

After that using a cache like redis or memcached for things like user sessions/permissions and commonly fetched data significantly reduce the load on your database.

While public clouds do a great job at optimized hardware designs, they do an abysmal job of keeping all the CPU's and disks utilised.

A typical CPU in a cloud datacenter is maybe only 10% utilised. That's mostly due to unsold capacity and poor bin packing on many levels (user has an oversized kube cluster, the cloud provider has spare machines, etc.). Many cloud machines just sit idle for years on end because someone has forgotten about them. In many cases, those idle resources are not used for lower priority jobs either, since they are being paid for by a customer.
Elastic NV fundamental analysis from developers POV

The tech is 75 years old. One suspects a sufficiently-funded team of recent PhDs could build the entire infrastructure from scratch in less than a decade.

We all know this, but few of us have the imagination to consider other options.
Openshift was very generous to startups, I can back that up as well.

In the U.S. healthcare plans typically do not cover dental. In particular, neither Medicare nor Kaiser provide dental coverage AFAIK. Dentists are quite willing for patients to pay for services directly. They'll typically charge less than what even insurers reimburse as insurance billing is so time consuming and therefore costly. There's not much negotiating as when you pay directly you're pretty much paying market rate, unless you live in a rural area where there's little competition--i.e. no market.

Market rate in Mexico is undoubtedly lower than in the U.S., though. Speaking of Mexico, they seem to have a pretty solid public healthcare program. Maybe expectations are lower, maybe people are sufficiently contented by access to relatively unregulated pharmaceuticals and medical practices regardless of poorer outcomes, or maybe griping doesn't make it across the language barrier to American news, but it definitely seems like there's less anxiety about healthcare in Mexico.

As a Canadian I have no doubt that the US healthcare is better than Canada's in many ways… if you have the money to get that care. Or you're willing to go into debt to pay for it:

I can't read the sites, but looking at some of them, I might honestly prefer US websites looking like the Japanese ones instead of the boring, spread-out, slow-loading versions I see today.

Even in the author's website. It's not bad per se, and it seems to load fast. But there is more spacing than necessary, and the minimalism makes it look like any other blog.
i agree. The length is roughly the same, if not actually shorter in many cases. Syllables per second isn't a good measure of information density.

Even with everyone involved having the best intentions, that task seems doomed to fail.
> But will health care providers adjust to your insurance?

most health insurance plans make a distinction between "in network" and "out of network" providers. "in network" basically means your insurance has already negotiated favorable prices with that doctor. so the simple answer to your question is yes. if the doctor is "in network" they will probably charge you less than they would charge an "out of network" patient. if I go to an "in network" doctor but haven't used up my deductible yet, I still pay the "in network" price. if you get a very large bill, I suspect there is further negotiation that takes place behind the scenes.

> A bit annoying is that often the doctors won't even tell you that they are not suggesting a certain treatment because it wouldn't be covered by public insurance.

in my experience, US doctors usually treat the details of insurance coverage as the patient's responsibility. the doctor probably doesn't know exactly what is/isn't covered by your specific plan, so I doubt that they would change their recommendations based on your insurance. a good doctor will certainly be sensitive to the fact that costs matter, so they might let you know that a cheaper generic drug exists or suggest that you try a certain treatment first because it is cheaper.

aside from the cost, I don't think there's any downside to having private insurance in the US.

This sounds disparaging of the "makers" but if your options for a hobby project are:

I think concepts remain the same, it just depends on who is making the silicon.

Consider these vendor architectures:

* Renesas RX

* Synopsys ARC

* TI MSP

* Atmel

* PIC

All of these have held pretty tightly to what RISC meant in the 90s.

Now consider:

* ARM

* Intel/AMD(x86)

* NVIDIA

And these have all become what CISC meant in the 90's.

The schism still holds, but I think most of the audience thinks only of "Intel vs. ARM" and forgets there are about two dozen mainstream CPU architectures still going strong in different segments.

Completely right. You are correct in what you should be focusing on. Only very large systems will see a return on investment in optimizing a system for hardware costs (bad code and crummy implementations should be worked out as tech debt). Focus on product, features and serving your customers. Get your market fit and burn your investor capital. Then when you reach that next stage, either sell to a company that is good at management or start hiring for performance.
They really just don't seem to have a very well thought out strategy & roadmap for much of anything new/rebranded/merged.

I have no idea what the decision making looks like for this internally, but my impression as an outsider is that there's a lot of short-term empire building. A new product manager/AVP/VP shows up and wants to gather power or just make their mark, so they rebrand or merge or kill a project to show they've done something. If something new is created, it immediately becomes subject to this dynamic.

The only Google products I use that I feel I can rely on for daily use without fearing the rug getting pulled out are Gmail, Gcal, Search, and Docs. (And I don't know how they make money on Docs so I'm still nervous there) I'm not a PaaS users/decision maker so that doesn't apply to me, but if it did then I would still be very reluctant to invest there unless it was part of an easily migrated multi-cloud strategy. I though Music was safe and got burned on that with the YT migration, which is a much inferior player. Even basic things like shuffling a play list and having it endlessly play through it don't seem to work.. at some point it wanders off to some random suggested song I don't own and don't want to listen to.

It will be years before I could feel comfortable making any other sort of Google service a daily driver for a given task, assuming they get their act together.
Docker in docker is a very common pattern in CI, in some cases is the only way to achieve certain tasks.
Indeed, that’s basically the point as well. I have seen developers hunting for the „right“ way and best performance even to the microsecond level for no good business reason while ignoring the state of a project/product and the required value they should focus on.
What are the "right political structures"? Genuine question. I tend to agree with a lot of the above statements but I'm just not sure where we go from here.
Your problem is the assumption that a gitlab CI process requires a docker image. If you do the following, you are fine:

* Switch to a shell runner

* Put the CI dockerfile into your repo

* Provide an entry script for CI that builds the container on-demand (and manages caching/cleanup) and then runs the tests/whatever inside that container

The point here is that docker/podman provide you with everything you need as long as you have full control. By using gitlab's default CI, you relinquish this control.

Go type parameters (generics) scheduled for Go 1.18, Feb 1 2022 release
So, what should we be using instead?
Ruby does via libraries ( https://github.com/socketry/async for instance). Which is my point. Pick a language that makes it easy.

Even then, it's a bit misleading; make it so concurrency, in general, is easy and efficient. Async is immaterial if you have green threads or similar (a la Go or Erlang). Point is, you shouldn't risk a model that ends up unnecessarily blocking/synchronizing execution.
Thanks ok yes that sounds familiar. For anyone else interested, this is a good read:

I am sorry if I am pessimistic but as a person with a genetics background, I am very skeptical when a measure has an error bar (or variance in this case) that includes no-change as a plausible explaination, i.e 25.68%±40.42

And, for my taste, 25.68%±40.42 is really bad style. 26%±40 is the amount of precision I would accept here.
The feature in google hangouts I like the most that for a long time was really only a feature I could get in google hangouts is anyone or everyone in a hangout can share their screen.

> I didn't mean it...

Saying things you don't mean might be why people on reddit accused you of being a troll or a liar. I don't have proof, but it seems like a good place to start.

> It's an internet comment not a journal article.

"It's the internet so I can say whatever I want regardless of facts" is not a mindset conducive to meaningful conversation. I'm guessing again that it might be why the people on reddit dismissed you.

You might not think that this is important, but, speaking to your complaint that outlets "give this impression that dissent arrises only from ignorance, and I must be some evil, Mr Burns-esque robber baron", it seems pertinent that the available interpretations for people encountering what you said are that either you didn't know that the real number was far lower than what you said or you knew and were intentionally misrepresenting things.
Assuming that it's Red Hat's fault that there is no el8 package for Docker, I think Red Hat is really shooting themselves in the foot by not supporting Docker in RHEL8. (You can still install the el7 version of Docker on el8 by performing an enable/disable/enable/disable/... module dance, but... why isn't there just an el8 version?)
I use hangouts because it's right there in Gmail. The last few timse I looked at Chats, it couldn't connect with my other @gmail users. Now it does. That's nice.

But rooms doesn't work yet (someone else said it's coming to Gmail), and I can't see how to make Chats show up in Gmail yet, so I can't turn off Hangouts yet, and is it even possible to?

Will chat show up in the right sidebar of Gmail, or below the labels in the left bar?

Practical Clean Code 2 Reduce Coupling
But in my experience, that's usually only affecting a small part of a system. If you could save 90% by such optimizations, you're at a very early stage of your application. Otherwise, this would've been spotted earlier. But in a larger system, these things can be around for some time but it's unlikely that fixing them brings an overall performance boost of 90%. More like 3% here, 5% there and so on.

Edit: And I agree: I wouldn't be surprised to find a SELECT * and a call to size() in a moderately sized system.
OP here, thanks for the link - interesting to see this stuff translated into real kilowatt terms. I haven't followed the discussions much around server carbon footprints but agreed, for a small app you're not gonna save the earth by shaving 2 watts a day down to 0.2 watts or whatever. There's definitely some scale at which optimization makes a meaningful dent, would be interesting to study that more.
I agree. We are seeing data teams get funding of their own and grow the practice. That has resulted in investment in real tools to make things better.

Not using --cache-from, though I did try the various caching command line options to try to troubleshoot. Just a vanilla Dockerfile with a few RUN commands and COPY commands. It would hit cache until about the third layer, and then would cache break every time.

On my local computer (Arch) podman is v2.1.1, which seems to have whatever bug I was hitting fixed.

So I guess my complaint isn't about podman specifically-- It had bugs and they were fixed, and that's great. But I hate that RHEL 8 touts it as a docker replacement, and won't carry docker in their repositories, when the version they have in their production releases is so broken.

We eventually sledgehammered docker CE's CentOS repo into our RHEL 8 jenkins server and now everything works perfectly.

Running podman on the production webservers seems to work okay though-- apart from the process killing problems.

Status of Debian on QNAP NAS Devices
The naming conversations I've been close to for a couple of decently-high-profile consumer products really were just on the "insanity" side.

Like, everyone's argument made sense from a certain perspective, and the "common sense" ideas weren't perfect, but the compromise solutions that resulted had bigger problems. Problems which the media or public noticed more quickly than the people who had finally signed off on them internally...

My speculation for the early Xbox names would be that part of it was someone insisting that you don't want to be trying to sell Xbox 2 against PS3 - you're one behind! - and then 360 is a fun way to get a "3" in there... but then what next, you have the same problem again, 460 is nonsensical (Xbox 420 would've been fun...!), etc...
That's fair enough, but I think that means you're not really talking about anyone with employer insurance.
I ditched Voice about 2 years ago and just gave everyone my direct # because I started experiencing some quirks, and was afraid they'd kill it.

So, you figured out how to compile patched kernel in just 3 hours? Wow.

(Create patch, install src.rpm, add patch to SOURCE directory, mention patch in .spec and add instruction to apply patch to %setup section, and then rpmbuild the .spec).

We use docker-in-docker as well to deploy our Jenkins workers. It has it's pros (running Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04 workers side-by-side and ease of pushing out an update) but it's fragile and confusing. Things can get really hacky when you need to start sharing volumes or injecting additional configuration.

I'm much more confident with packer now though. Next time I do any major work on our Jenkins infrastructure I'm ripping out docker-in-docker for the workers and replacing it with packer built images.
