Re:Decimation of Twitter Eng on Saturday November 26, 2022 @11:36PM (#33760429)
Given that all of this tech is already being used inside Twitter, I feel it is unethical to discuss any non-public info (like discussions with cloud vendors on cost etc.) in public. The engineers have been kicked out, the tech still belongs to Twitter. This is not "decimation" of the engineering, just of engineers' egos. Someone else will do the job, the show will go on.
Re:WhatsApp scaled to 1B users with only 50 engineers on Monday October 25, 2021 @05:15PM (#28993231)
This is misleading. Likely, those 50 engineers were standing on the shoulders of the giants, i.e. those open source maintainers who build wonderful value for everyone out there.
I thought this is about multi-threaded processing of batch jobs.

If this project were to be governed by Apache Software Foundation, I'd have associated more credibility to this effort.

I'm in India and I pay $8 for 84 days and get 2.5GB/day for those 84 days.
Re:Microsoft buys corp.com so bad guys can’t on Tuesday April 07, 2020 @06:01PM (#22807954)
Microsoft is the "bad guy".
I think he should change his name and get a new domain. It must be hard to have a name like that and trying to live a normal life.

Just do an x-ray to find out what is inside.
To tackle animal extinctions, better way is to kill humans en-masse.
Re:Announcing flicker-free boot for Fedora 29 on Tuesday October 02, 2018 @04:11PM (#18125272)
Will this work well with NVidia drivers?
The decline has begun. It will soon be time for Intel to shut shop.
And, they made fun of RMS... He was telling you what the future holds. This is just a trailer of what is to come.
They sell untested, unapproved products. It is a govt backed corporation.

Next, they will detain/arrest Kodi developers at airports.

FreeBSD community has banned "virtual hugs" in their community guidelines!
Re:Testing Microservices the sane way on Monday January 01, 2018 @07:58AM (#16045892)
Discarding the "full stack in a box" idea, in general, just because of past experience with a poorly implemented vagrant setup seems naive. A good "full stack in a box" implementation (docker-compose, swarm, kubernetes etc.) can be a useful tool in testing/developing microservices.

Not as exciting as Solr 7 release.
