I'm glad that others are voicing the same issues I'm experiencing. Sometimes I wonder if I'm taking crazy pills.
My solution has been to place an Apple bluetooth keyboard -on top- of my 15" MBP keyboard and that seems to work pretty well, but wow, it shouldn't have come to this...
It appears that the SLA guaranteed uptime for Azure SQL Database is 99.9% or 99.99%, depending on tier. That equates to the following allowable downtime per month (which I think is what they base SLA fulfillment on):
99.9: 43m 49.7s
99.99: 4m 23.0s
Sounds like they need to cough up some money for their four 9s customers...
When is such an awesome company like GitLab going to get serious about compensation and actually fix their calculator for regions outside of SF? I know firsthand that this is preventing many experienced people from even bothering to pursue opportunities there.
If drawing the line on what is and isn't harassment is subjective, perhaps they should focus on building better mechanisms for individuals to take filtering / blocking into their own hands? One could argue that Twitter has these features already, but apparently the "privileged class" (celebrities) are incapable of leveraging them?
Looking at tenure in isolation of any other context is meaningless. I've interviewed candidates with multiple 6-12 month positions on their resume that turned out to be great contributors, and other folks with 5-10 year positions that were horrible.
Usually Massimo's stuff is quite well thought out and practical when it comes to adopting new models in the Enterprise, but this article has a "I'm annoyed by this platform because it doesn't work how I want it to" sentiment throughout. He seems to miss a lot of the potential value that the serverless architecture model brings to the table.
It's pretty well established that Amazon's usual approach is to provide a "toolbox" of services that can used to build any number of app architecture permutations, without all the typical fluff and polish expected by large business customers. I for one, as an engineer, appreciate this model since it's much more accessible and lightweight.
General macroeconomic scare mongering has an upside in that perhaps some fat will be trimmed. Those with a product or service with real value should remain standing.
+1 for GitLab - a platform that actually feels like a hacker's tool. Not to mention they have an open source edition (CE), unlike GitHub -or- BitBucket.
I'm guessing the military isn't affected because they shield their equipment properly? Seems odd that this wouldn't be a standard (even for commercial) in this day and age.
Fascinating stuff for history buffs. There's a great subreddit for this kind of thing, /r/AcademicBiblical, that has similar gems for those interested...
I should probably know this, but can anyone explain to me why other service providers like AWS don't have to release the source code of things like their brand of Xen running EC2 hypervisors?
Does it only apply if you resell / package the source code as a deliverable product? Where is this line drawn between software downloaded as a binary vs. software delivered to you in a hosted fashion with an API or similar (i.e. SaaS)?
