Not the case; I work at a bank and we have widescale adoption of Kubernetes and cloud products (in fact most of the major banks do at this point) If you happen to be looking for a DevOps or SRE role, check a large banks job boards, you&#x27

This sounds awful. if you have a person sharing the same space you live in but turns out to be messy and abhorrent, you'll barely ever get a chance to talk it out with them. Also there seems to be an assumption that both of you work l

I wrote a set of internal use systems using Lambda and API Gateway. I'm in two minds about it; its handy but at the moment I dont think its mature enough for a critical live system. I'd like better ways to collect execution data f

Is it really a good idea to name your open source module after a trademarked name ? Xeon is the brand name for Intel's line of server and workstation processors and they dont strike me as the kind of firm that would take co-opting of

This is a non-story. A number of firms make the same kind of product. The one thats linked isnt even the same brand as the one in the video.

If youre on a tight budget and IO is your main bottleneck it may be easier to purchase a number of decent spec desktop PC's with multiple SSD's in them. SSD's have really come down in price while performance and capacity have

No support for EMV at the moment on this either. They actually recommend carrying the EMV cards as well which sort of negates the point of having this.

The really interesting bit for me is that theres a plugin module with a FPGA that can be programmed by the end user. Which means simple apps wont even have their traffic leave the switch. I can think of a ton of uses for that, especially fr

TV shows may have the same intro sequence, but the overlaid credits are always a bit different. Hence any compression applied will always produce different results between episodes of a show. This would make any de-duplication extremely dif

That's a terrible name. The man committed genocide and numerous other crimes against humanity. Using that legacy to try and get a laugh is horrible.

According to Geekbench the current CPU in the iPad Air (the A7) scores about the same as a Core 2 Duo from 2006 (the E6600). Nothing to sneeze at and definitely getting close to the low power Haswell CPU's in systems like the Macbook A

Its a dev board; not really something you'd use in production. Its a small run of reference hardware for devs to get started on; by the time its ready for release OEM's will have much more affordable kit for end users to buy.

A WAF is like insurance, most of the time you wont need it, but its good to have when the s*it hits the fan. While you can rely on your app to have its own security, it never hurts to have extra (unless latency is a concern). I'd start
