Unfortunately some customer changes will need to go out quickly and globally for a CDN. Going much slower might not be a good option. Canarying should detect this. Not clear if they do this or the canary failed to report this. Sharding by c

Authentication/trust is simply unrelated to this outage. The post you linked seems to have no relevance.

Zero trust seems to be very unrelated to this issue. The issue seems to have been a poison config breaking fastly stack. Zero trust is about verifying authentication of devices/users. Unrelated things really.

I wish they'd rather use python or Julia. GNU Octave is great. But as a clone of Matlab it's constraint by compatibility and doomed to always be second* and at worst an enabler for Matlab. I'd rather break the dominance that

Yep. Having each front end needing to scale with the overall size of the front end sounds is obviously going to hit some scaling limit. It's not clear to me from the summary why they are doing that. If it's for the shard-map or ca

From the summary I don't understand why front end servers need to talk to each other ("continuous processing of messages from other Kinesis front-end servers"). It sounds like this is part of building the shard map or the cac

More like hardware from 20 years. Yeah I hope the TI monopoly gets broken. Numworks looks exactly like the calculator I was dreaming about when I was in uni.

Imagine a future where whenever the energy price drops in a region suddenly companies show up with a bunch of such tubes drop them in the ocean. Do some batch processing and once the energy price rises they pull it out and move on. In reali

And that does not include any external packets... Yes, there is no way Emacs will get rid of elisp. That's why Guile Emacs includes writing an elisp frontend for Guile. (There is also a Frontend for ECMAScript and an experimental one f

In C++ - unlike C - you can actually implement quite good matrix/vector support. E.g., Eigen3 http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Main_Page or Blaze https://bitbucket.org/blaze-lib/blaze or

I think the GNU Octave folks are using libgccjit to write a JIT for their Matlab-like language.

Isn't that largely because the LibreSSL team refused the invite to the exclusive OpenSSL security list? At least that was the case the last time the LibreSSL devs complained about not receiving any vuln info in advance...

Yes, that's truly annoying. I have a few code examples that are complete but it refuses to accept them without giving any reason. If I try to step forward it says I have to go back. Also in the first example it complained when I was us

Well the OpenBSD devs seem to use Comic Sans in their presentations though E.g., http://www.openbsd.org/papers/ru13-deraadt/index.html

I know about TRAMP. But that's a different use case. In this case it's about keeping the Emacs session on a remote host.

by fafner 12y ago
At least they added Comic Neue. I'm a bit disappointed that a project like OpenBSD that is so vocal about free software is promoting a proprietary font like Comic Sans MS.

Akonadi really annoys me. Who thought it would be a good idea to run mysql on each desktop to store email metadata? That's just ridiculous bloat. Mysql is among the top 10 entries for me in powertop. Why would MySQL be needed to deal w

It offers one advantage: You can run it in a GNU Screen session on a remote host. (Unless it is somehow possible to run a graphical emacsclient over network)

Google Code was such an improvement over SourceForge. I think the real problem of Google Code was that it took them too long to support git. When GitHub started Google Code was still SVN only and later they only added Mercurial support. Thi
