Strong agree. We were using Fargate nodes in our us-east-1 EKS cluster and not all of our nodes dropped, but every coredns pod did. When they came back up their age was hours older than expected, so maybe a problem between Fargate and the scheduler rendered them “up” but unable to be reached?

Either way, was surprising to us that already provisioned compute was impacted.

I'm a software engineer specializing in building stable, scalable consumer-facing websites and refactoring large codebases. Looking for consulting or contract work, working solo or with a team. Some previous projects:

- Built a comprehensive CI ecosystem for a 30+ app polygot environment using Jenkins, Docker and Github. Reduced test suite run time in their monolith from 25 minutes to 10.

- Built a live blog for The Verge that handles 1.2 million uniques during iPhone events https://product.voxmedia.com/2012/6/15/5426782/introducing-s...

Indeed - I've hiked almost 3k miles carrying an umbrella. Worn rain gear is a compromise between breathability and waterproofness - even if you keep the rain out, you'll sweat and it's trapped inside. Umbrellas keep rain off you, are very breathable, and double as sun protection when it's really hot. Only downside is when it's windy and rainy, so it's nice to have a poncho too.

I'm a software engineer specializing in designing and building stable, scalable consumer-facing websites and refactoring large codebases. Currently, I'm helping clients with dev ops problems like setting up web apps to scale for 10x more traffic, profiling/optimizing slow code paths, and building analytics pipelines with AWS.

Before that, I was a principal engineer at Vox Media, and worked on some notable projects:

- Simultaneously upgraded their 81k LOC monolith to Ruby 2.1 and Rails 3.2 with no downtime http://product.voxmedia.com/2014/5/29/5759244/vox-media-ruby...

- Built a live blog for The Verge that handles 1.2 million uniques during iPhone events http://product.voxmedia.com/2012/6/15/5426782/introducing-sy...

- Converted all image processing to Thumbor (https://github.com/thumbor), and scaled it to resize 1.3 million images a day

Re:Ad blocker that clicks on the ads on Monday October 27, 2014 @10:47AM (#8515722)
It's worth noting that a decent amount of web advertising's "value" is based on viewability, not click through rates.

We used to have this problem, but I think Slack added a feature to fix this. Our general room is now locked so that people can't post into it, but everyone is still a member.
Re:Show HN: Javelin Browser on Thursday September 25, 2014 @03:34PM (#8369240)
I notice that you use www.theverge.com in a number of the screenshots for Javelin. The writers at The Verge, the developers that build the site, the designers that make it beautiful - are all paid through ad revenue. Please consider at least adding the ability to whitelist sites if you are going to bundle ad block.

*Full disclosure - I am a developer at Vox Media, the publisher of The Verge.

In fairness, nobody is using brew to install something on their production environment.
