Not sure this is the case, amz data centres to other amz data centres in most cases you go across ntt, Tata etc. Google on the other hand is different e.g. Taiwan to Ireland all google network. Spin up vms and traceroute

Could be worse, can't see a new keyword yet

What's the story with fsproj ?

Same company same standards?

Yeah over the years they have had some major WTFs. Most recently one of their email clusters supporting thousands of customers went out for 9 days. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1588201

I'd take the article with a pinch of salt, they admit they haven't got anywhere near capacity yet, and it doesn't seem like they'd done any real load testing before "final layout". They could easily go the way of most low end VPS providers, day one benchmarks look great and then a few months later when the node fills out and people start using it performances sinks with no lower bound to be seen anywhere.

I think Amazon will use the data. USPS operator probably fills in a paper form, it get stamps and then it get filled never to be used in any meaningful way again.

Disagree, I don't follow people who "post shit", I follow a few hundred people in the tech space (developers, devops, VCs, CTOs etc..) that I think are interesting (and dont post shit) and thus my twitter feed has very little overall shit. You curate your own feed based on who you follow, if you don't want to listen to whiney SJWs, or people twisting every word of Hillary or Trump then don't follow them (or unfollow them)..

You're missing the point. The mode of operation is defined in the BIOS, and these parts have been deliberately disabled. Whilst in theory it's true that Debian could potentially release a version in the future at present due to delibrate crippling in the BIOS (changed firmware to disable features) one can not even workaround this.

Acer used to do something somewhat similar on some Aspire models (disabling option to enable Vx at BIOS) so using VirtualBox was a no starting, but with some creativity and long winded efi vars mounting and fiddling you could get it working or break your system, not soldering though :)

I'd be interested to see how it pans out Lenovo community admins are worse than Acer community. At least with Dell I find a few engineer on Twitter and ping them..

A fews things I wanted out of CouchDB years back: - faster bulk indexing - space reduction, I think a simple couchdb to psql json was 1/10th of size - ES6 or even ES5 - * its been a few years since I last looked but I remember you had to tread carefully - Object.keys maybe was one?

When I started with CouchDB it wrong choice for so many reasons, client had <30gb of data, couchdb was cooler than node.js, and I was frustrated with SQL Server. In hindsight sticking with SQL Server or Postgresql would of been better - older/wiser today.

All in time.. I'm expecting the banishment first..

Yes, some ISIS should definitely be on the speaker list.. It would have to be a meta talk as their aren't too many javascript experts in this unrepresented community.

In response to your concerns we took a closer look at our speakers' dietary preferences.. I have good news..

In addition to adding 3 new gluten-free keynote speakers (To be announced) we removed a speaker that does not align with our mission of equally representing gluten-free.

This a community conference to support collaboration among developers with different dietary preferences and we want ALL developers to feel comfortable with the dietary preferences of all our speakers particularly our keynoters.

I apologise this action took 4.1 minutes to cement.We had to formulate the tweets first..

We also need to consider left handed people are equally and fairly represented, for too long the privileged and dominating right handies have over-run these conferences.

I think Mx Kevin is quite right to step away from this grand mess, it sounds like this all could of been avoided if the main organizer spent more than 41 minutes in deliberating what action to take when a hypersensitive social justice warrior started venting on Twitter. Complete dog balls..

Bye bye digitalocean - account deletion request submitted 1178917. When you have reckless people like Cashan Stine (trust & safety specialist - WTF is that title? sounds like a road safety officer?) that close accounts due to a security report then it won't win any business from me or my clients.

This is awesome stuff. If you fullscreened MobaXTerm and autohide the Windows taskbar then what are the problematic points vs running a linux/i3wm natively? Do certain keystrokes get intercepts by Windows regardless? You mention Firefox have you tried Chrome/Chromium in i3wm? Can you play a HTML5 youtube video?

Thanks for writing it up, interesting stuff! - An i3 user

The Ethereum situation is very sad, a great idea flawed by centralization of power (or influence if you want to be pedantic in terms), and whilst you could argue technically all the miners control the network and anyone can participate if you look at recent events it is currently clearly dictated by Vitalik Buterin, slock.it and a few other heavily invested and conflicted* individuals.

When the DAO hack hit the fan Vitalik Buterin immediately instructed the exchanges to stop (and they did) and then started talking and planning for the hard forking within hours, this was not only a PR disaster (as it turns out it wasn't needed) but gave a clear signal to any spectators about where the power was centralized. He later tried to justify the decentralized nature by saying "see I had to beg the exchanges" https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/743972769717641216 but history shows a far different sequence of events than beg and hope they listen. Smart contracts have a bright future, just not the ethereum implementation/network/fiasco.

*e.g. http://pastebin.com/aMKwQcHR#L45 The ethereum foundation can reimburse exchange losses. Without a hard fork and rollback this damage will be permanent and the ecosystem will die.

I think so. The lack of parametric types leads to an explosion of types for each concept, and where they don't do this a load of casting from runtime.Object and interface{}. The lack of exhaustive pattern matching is responsible for many bugs, oh we forgot to add a case for runtime.InternalEvent etc... However our project will be using Kubenetes library and thus we're also doing it in Go. MetaAccessor another eye sore. It's all a trade-off I guess..

For golang kubernetes is pretty good, i learnt a lot of tricks just reading code, but you quickly learn it was the wrong language on so many fronts.

The only real crime here is squashing competition, now that a clear message has been sent to all couriers, expect even further insane prices. Same drugs can be bought via online pharmacies for fractions of the price from docs/hospitals
