That was my first thought, varnish (vinyl these days) in front of the website should dramatically reduce this as the git repo should be practically static for most of the content.

I will counter this with the following.

My mother turned 60 late January this year, she received a bowl cancer screening kit which she did and they recommend she come in for a colonoscopy, which identified she highly likely had bowl cancer. 3 Weeks later she received the results for a CT with contrast scan which found no evidence of cancer else where in her major organs and nodes. 3 Weeks later she is having surgery to remove the cancerous bowl.

All for free.

Tell me again why America has the highest rate of Stage 5 Cancers over 65.

Function calls now pass arguments in registers instead of via the stack gaining ~5% improved performance.
Check the data yourself, https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/vaccinations

Most people I know who have a vaccine have had 2 doses

I would have thought just using Unifi's DNS server to address each device would have been far simpler.
Or if you are someone who doesn't know how it works it makes the whole article flow and make sense without having to context shift out to Google. The world of readers doesn't know what you know, or what I know for that matter.
I bet this is a BGP leak again

Using hadoop/spark for <2gb of data seems like a terrible idea.

When all you have is a hammer everything starts to look like a nail.

Re:Go 1.5 Release Notes on Friday July 31, 2015 @05:49PM (#9984740)
The new compiler is now garbage collected, and is generating lots of garbage, when the old compiler ran without any garbage collection. There is an interesting thread from the mailing list about this [0]

Re:Brubeck – A statsd-compatible metrics aggregator on Monday June 15, 2015 @03:04PM (#9721305)
I know bitly have an implementation of statsd in golang [0]. Ive not used it in production but have contributed to it. Go is fast to a point, it is not as fast as C but it is easier to write fast Go than fast C.

Is this the tool that Google uses to build its Golang source? Or is that something else which is not available?

Not sure if sarcastic, LG G3 already has 5.0.1 released.
Yep, also had input from Google around the time there were deploying (or building) their new scheduler to replace Borg, Omega.
Isn't it running ontop of the Mesos kernel, which has been around for longer than Kubernetes?

Re:Fig 1.0: Boot2docker compatibility and more on Friday October 17, 2014 @04:11PM (#8473078)

Re:Coanda Effect: Understanding Why Wings Work on Friday October 17, 2014 @09:57AM (#8470974)
The coanda effect was used to great effect in f1 recently to redirect the exhaust flow from the upward pointing exhaust to the floor with no interfering aerodynamics. It's also very well explained, with a very good practical demonstration of it here [0].
