I worked there and I can say that this is not accurate at all. It is very much a blame culture. I've seen people fired for less severe incidents. Beyond the core technology of the Pillar engine, the place is not comparable to a modern tech company in almost any way.
Re:Cloudflare outage on June 21, 2022 on Tuesday June 21, 2022 @01:06PM (#31826405)
I was on a severely understaffed edge team fronting several thousand engineers at a fortune 500 - every deploy felt like a spacex launch from my cubicle. I have a lot of reverence for the engineers who take on that kind of responsibility.

Thats pretty fascinating stuff, thanks for the recommendation.

Is there any open source, embeddable alternatives or frameworks? I've got an ETL DSL that is fully serializable and I've been looking to create a UI tool for it.
Re:Debunking Cloudflare’s recent performance tests on Tuesday December 07, 2021 @07:09AM (#29471556)
Perhaps you can have them provide an access key instead? I vaguely recall seeing a button on a 3rd party platform that let me configure my DNS in Cloudflare to route to the 3rd party. Not sure how that flow worked to be honest, but I believe there is some programmatic way to delegate.

I appreciate the insight, thank you!

Any suggestions on where to start to use this as a LTE uplink that reads from an SD card and uploads images? I'd like to replace my expensive faulty game camera subscription.
I didn't know I wanted this

Is it really Clearnet if there is end to end encryption?
Uploading images from my iPhone to Google Drive results in HEIC files that I have to manually convert as well.
Am I misunderstanding this? My phone would broadcast a daily unique key that could theoretically be used to track my location?

That is pretty impressive, but I was distracted by the lack of anti-aliasing and the rough edges on all the models when back-lit.

Great explanation, thank you!

Would you explain what you mean by "cross chain to another root"?

Re:Show HN: Shox: A customisable status bar for your terminal on Tuesday February 25, 2020 @03:46PM (#22417239)
Hey, any chance I could look at your Dotfiles? I like that terminal setup.
Anyone have any good recommendations on deployment platforms that are cost effective and don't compromise on technology? Think Heroku, but with support for HTTP/2 and internal mesh networking.
Re:How to Discipline Overeager Engineer? on Wednesday October 02, 2019 @01:49PM (#21139019)
It seems to me that the real problem is hiring engineers who only know one language and rest on that language choice for their entire career. If you build an organization of engineers with a versatile set of skills then there is no such thing as a wrong language choice.

Mandate the standardization of interfaces rather than languages and you empower all types of developers in your organization.

Any Java engineer worth their salt should be able to use a JVM derivative. If you hire people who are capable of using multiple languages then you won't have an organization of people restricted to a single language.. and the problem is gone.
Re:How to Discipline Overeager Engineer? on Monday September 30, 2019 @04:21PM (#21119323)
Kotlin is a very tame language choice, in what I assume is a very Java heavy organization. Peers should be accountable for learning new languages and following the implementers rule.
Anyone know of a framework for building out tools like this one with our own blocks? I have a use case for an internal tool to enable constrained configuration builds.
Re:A Functional Interface for Key/Value Store on Saturday April 07, 2018 @11:09AM (#16781046)
If you have a similar use case, you should probably just setup a Kafka and Hadoop implementation. You could probably get a lot better performance by using a shared memory store to keep the intermittent states.
Just wanted to say, I really like the design of your blog and your writing style. Also, there is a minor typo in the last paragraph of the IOC/DI article.
Still a thing, that and the tick size.
Re:Introducing Fly Edge Apps on Wednesday April 04, 2018 @06:47PM (#16760026)
Very cool to see this catching on, similar to the Edge features rolling out of Cloudflare and Fastly. I’ve been doing similar things with Nginx + LUA, and I’m curious about the performance of your V8 runtime. Also, where are y’all located? I’m looking for a change and this is a domain I’m highly interested in.
can you fix my controller? last I checked they were like $60
