$80 is nothing compared to an infra engineer salary of +$5000 a month.

And you will need one. permamently. because this stuff breaks in so many spectacular ways... i.e splitbrain. a joy to resolve.

I'm so glad we have cloud managed storage like EFS / EBS so we don't have to deal with this stuff...

Second!

Yes, by increasing how many lies people will believe.

Well, it's a bit difficult when these positions require a degree.

It's a problem with research institutes that they consider themselves academics and look down on people with extensive work experience.

The fact some systems do it, doesn't mean it is correct or optimals.

The latency of NFS & EBS or EFS is actually the reason many businesses *do not* use them for their databases.

I've seen deployments that had to go bare-metal because the tiny latency of EBS caused their compute times to rise exponentialy (doing AI training).

Snowflake is a BI data platform, which doesn't require low-latency and fast response like systems powered by RDBs do.

Apples and oranges.

"We separated storage and compute"

No. just no.

Compute where the data lives, else you incur traffic cost and latency.

A lesson learned in life, known from the dawn of time..

uh... AWS Aurora? Azure CosmosDB? GCP BigQuery?

All serverless, scale-to-zero or pay for demand...

I actually have a 100W GaN charger for my 100W Razer Stealth 13''. Super compact and great for travel. The new Razer models actually come with the GaN charger included!

This is awesome. Reminds me of what Nvidia did with facial-puppetry to reduce bandwith, but while theirs was just a POC, you're amazing for making it actually available.

Looking forward to Linux port!

Give me a break... How did you decide on posting this? Did you accidentaly stumble upon Minikube one day? was it news to you?

I bet it wasn't.

Looks too thick. Needs to be light and ultra-portable. Passive cooling if possible.

Don't "play house" -

Many founders start applying methodologies and hiring for roles they know from other companies, even though they're not at a scale that justifies it.

Get paying customers, then start a business. not the other way around.

Market size means absolutely nothing. Every startup can twist the data so the market size is "billions of gamers/mobile phones/developers/cows". It translates to nothing.

Amen. I'll add to it:

Investors will want you to build technology to inflate the company IP and worth, but will leave you when you fail to bring in profit due to focusing on tech too much.

Tests are for teams of contractors that don't know how the product works.

The talented person that built the thing knows exactly what a change will require, and how to test it before pushing his code.

Don't be an enterprise too soon.

We need a site where people banned/snubbed by mega-corps can share their case and unite for action.

We get the stories about Google, Apple, Facebook and the likes all the time.

Strength in unity.

Don't use GraphQL backed by SQL. Only object storage.

Problem solved.

"Apparently the people of the 21st century had a short attention span as they could only focus on 10 things that would change their <something>.."

Wow this takes me back 20 years ago when we did this kind of partial-dump+sync migrations of mysql.

Then the cloud and DBaaS was invented.

I don't add "reddit" because Reddit discussions are good,

I add it because Google results are shit.

Does he know he's an ad?

Who's this guy to tell me how a founder should behave?

The main thing Java beats other langs in by a huge margin is memory consumption.

If you ever wondered what anarchy looks like, or had complaints about Facebook moderators - check this out.

Opposite - don't mess with sandboxing. Use PaaS services like its > 2008, and let AWS / Google security teams harden their platform.

Exactly. containers are not secure sandboxes by default and if one is breached all those K8s networking ACLs are worthless.

..And laptops *definitely* don't look like production.
