Europe is crying out for sovereign clouds. If this is to be a viable alt cloud, US jurisdiction is a no.

Not sure we can move away from cpu/memory/io budgeting towards total metal saturation because code isn't what it used to be because no one handles malloc failure any more, we just crash OOM

This is absolutely correct. HN readers can learn more about the merit order and marginal pricing here: https://www.next-kraftwerke.com/knowledge/what-does-merit-or...

You can read more about gas markets in the Global Gas Market guide by A115 here: https://a115.co.uk/global-gas-market/ (you can download the PDF guide at the bottom without giving any information)

Jira's now discontinued server version had a sequence table to stop you sharding it. It also made disaster recovery from a hard shutdown awful. I have nothing good to say about Atlassian.

Their Windows sensor has made development almost unworkable. Not sure why but I haven't noticed the OSX sensor slow things down appreciably. I suspect my Windows profile is configured to be more aggressive?

6 days is pretty reasonable to me because I'm an avid supporter of the release train (miss the release train, wait for the next one).

Governance is an important aspect of the software development cycle past the PoC stage. Releases shouldn't lead to an existential crisis.

This is something I've been unable to articulate as succinctly as you have - thanks.

In the past I put it down my experienced approach and what I need from others: make it work (mediocre solutions that deliver 80% value are fine!), then make it better (reflect and refactor until readable/approachable/idiomatic) before finally (stretch goal) make it faster (break idiomatic paradigms, vectorize etc.)
